Question, is anyone going to watch the VP debate?

Chris.

P.S. I have never read anything before at that site. So I don't know how correct it is. Sounded about the same as I heard in the news over the last week or so.

The Huffington Post is a good source for the truth Chris.

Unfortunately, I'm working the afternoon shift again, so I'll miss listening to Palin speak at length about nothing.

She sounds like a low to medium level management type from most any corporation, plenty of catch words and phrases...lots of confidence based on nothing...and the belief that the average person won't question what's been said out of fear of appearing unintelligent enough to have understood in the first place.

The average person is polite enough to actually think that if something doesn't make sense, then it must be their own fault for not understanding.

People like Palin have made carreers out of this politeness in people.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I doubt I will be able to see the debate. I just hope that when questions are asked and answered with a general response the question is asked again.

Chris.

Until someone like me comes along... ;)
