So I just finished watching the stand-up routine of Governor Palin.

I didn't laugh once.

What amazes me is the fact that the GOP expects us to believe this stuff. Yeah, she came out and acted like a bulldog. But it's only because the Republicans are in a corner. And the speeches given by Huckabee, Giuliani, Palin and presumably McCain's speech tomorrow only shows the Republicans have painted themselves into that corner.

By continuing to blame everyone else for the problems facing this country and refusing to stand up and take responsibility for the last eight years, the Republicans have officially pushed me over to the other side.

I voted for Bush in 2000 and in 2004. I believe he led us well following 9/11. But past that....He has led our country into another Vietnam. The repurcussions of the last five years in Iraq will be felt forever. Long after W is gone. Thankfully he has only been given eight years to destroy everything this country has been built upon. Mayor Guliani said, "because 'change' is not a destination ... just as 'hope' is not a strategy." I don't know about you but I need a 'change' from tax breaks for big companies, big oil and actually breaking our dependance on oil...not just foreign oil. Barack Obama has a clearly defined plan to turn this country around and wean us from oil completely. Drilling in Alaska will only provide this country with a year's worth of oil. Less than the national reserves provide. That the Republicans actually think drilling for more oil is a step in the right direction only shows they do not care where our planet is for the next generation, a generation that includes Emma.

That is something I simply cannot support.

McCain-Palin provides no hope. Wake up...

Hope is something this country needs.
