Hopefully, Sarah Palin's strong performance in last night's debate against Joe Biden will reassure Conservatives concerned about her recent nerves in interviews with Katie Couric and Charles Gibson. Additionally, it is to be hoped that Palin's performance will silence liberal ignoramuses who think she's unqualified to be Vice-President. Palin has had to put up with an enormous amount of crap from the mainstream liberal media and feminzai academic harridans who are scared spitless by the idea that the first woman Vice-President or President could be a conservative, religious, pro-life woman who takes assertive stands on foreign policy and national security issues.
Palin drew blood when she described the Obama/Biden Iraq policy as being appeasement. She also could have mentioned that if Obama/Biden really want to "end the war" they'll have to go begging to Islamist hotspots such as Waziristan, the Gaza Strip, and numerous other locales around the world to appease the wrath of the Islamist galoots. Palin ably empathized with the problems middle class families are having with current economic problems and demonstrated that the massive government intervention favored by Obama/Biden would be injurious to their personal economic well-being as well as to national economic well-being.
On the nuclear weapons question, Palin did miss an opportunity to explain why we need to modernize our nuclear deterrent by testing and how the threat of nuclear armed Iran and/or North Korea makes developing effective missile defense a priority.
Biden managed to avoid his frequent verbal diarrhea although he fails to understand that the Vice-President is a member of both the executive and legislative branches. Guess, he hasn't looked at his Constitution lately, which is pretty disturbing for someone who was once chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Hopefully, the McCain-Palin ticket can build on the strength of her performance in St. Louis last night. In the upcoming Nashville debate, McCain needs to look Obama in the eye and tell him that he is not prepared for the presidency and incapable of giving America the strong and decisive leadership we need at this challenging time. Both McCain and Palin need to tell Americans with blunt ferocity that economic problems and our national security situation will be worsened if the electorate makes the mistake of giving the presidency to Obama/Biden and retains congressional control in the hands of the rabid Nancy Pelosi and the doddering senescent Robert Byrd, and the insufferably anal retentive Harry Reid.
