I couldn't watch the whole

Submitted September 5, 2008 - 2:08 am by Rachel Q (not verified)

I couldn't watch the whole thing, and the bits I heard sounded like the same old Republican talking points I've heard since Reagan.  They're tired now.

Quoting "all men are created equal" and congratulating Obama on his accomplishment annoyed me terribly.  I thought it was a way of shouting, "Look, he's black! I'm the white guy! Like the founders!" If anyone calls him on it, Repubs'll claim the Dems are playing the race card.

He played all the other Repub cards too, and played, and played... and Rome burned.

@Tara Van Nimen:  One great thing about the Palin pick is that McCain can no longer distance himself from the wacko right wing of his party.  Before her, I thought Obama was stretching when he said McCain would be 4 years of the same.  McCain's choice of running mate proved Obama's point.  Obama can point to Palin any time McCain tries to separate himself from the neocons and wackos from here to November.

Personally, I like polar bears.  :-)
