Republicans would save me a few percent on my taxes every year. But the thing that astonishes me about those, especially in porn, that vote for the Republicans now is what they are doing to society. Crap about creationism in schools, not teaching our kids sex-ed, trying to get books banned from libraries. I just see a lot of other countries in this world getting smarter, putting out a lot of engineers and scientists. We seem to be going the opposite direction and Republicans are the ones pushing it that way.
So in the end, I'll pay a few extra bucks on my taxes (which I really think will be made up for by the fact the poorer will have more money to buy stuff with) and if it means this country doesn't get dumber thanks to people like Palin who believe we should be teaching our kids fairy tales in science class. If the Republicans were fiscally conservative and for small government, they'd have my vote, but they don't even bother doing that anymore.

Sadly many can only see the few percent they pay in taxes. They don't see that their over all wage has declined and the cost of living has risen in the last 8 years. A few have benefited from Bush and his policies. None of them are here on this board.
I only got to listen to parts of her speech, which I thought was well delivered and pandered to the audience in the Convention Center. Whether it panders to those in middle America is a question. I doubt if it will impress many in the big States that have to be won to get the Presidency.
The way she covered her family situation was laughable. She was telling us that like all normal families she has her ups and downs. I doubt if she has a clue what the normal ups and downs are in a normal family. They are paying the bills, holding on or getting a job, paying the rent/mortgage, filling the car with gas and getting a holiday every year.
Few families have a Downs Syndrome baby, an unmarried 16 year old pregnant daughter and the Mother trying to become VP. She is not normal as she tells us.
