Palin has as much real world experience as Obama, I disagree with her policy and her intellectual curiosity that is lacking.
Palin wants schools to teach creationism, afterall.
But beyond that, as grand as Obama's speech was, it didn't move beyond the facts.
Here is a list I made about Obama on another forum.
*He doesn't support single payer universal health insurance, all his plan does is create a federal program you can buy into and he claim he can lower costs of existing plans. That's an empty claim IMO, the government cannot guarantee a private insurance agency will lower rates on a permanent, sustainable basis.
*He supports religious charities receiving money from the federal government
*He supports maintaining the same military funding, and in fact supports an increase in programs that have nothing to do with homeland security or anti-terrorism measures... Just like John McCain. Obama no longer talks about time tables, he talks about "responsibly ending" the war in Iraq. Its obvious his primary speeches are total history.
*He does not support gay marriage
*Obama does not support altering our trade policies, which are what lead to one of the biggest US economical problems: the massive trade deficit we face. He's an avowed free trader who is indistinguishable from Republicans on this front. The trade deficit is the biggest fiscal deficit we have.
Note, I don't believe that in order to change US trade policy do you have to become a protectionist or isolationist, but we do need to make the trade policies of the US more fair.
The fact that some of Obama's supporters truly believe he will be a revolutionary candidate is beyond anything funny.
I'm still pretty sure I'm voting Nader, despite his fantastic performance last night.
