>From what i was reading yesterday she does really seem to be a bridge burner. But in the cases i saw it was at either (because i don't know the truth) her standing up for what she believes or her not wanting to get caught and blamed for being `corrupt` like the governor who she was working for at the time.
Her speech left a lot to be desired with me. Some of the things she has said to us to be endearing are the same things she's said since she was the mayor of wasilla. It is getting on my nerves. It's like shes trying too hard to be love able but let us know she's ready to cut a throat at any moment if she has to. I had been enjoying the campaigns previously because the whole attacking thing turns me off. I'm not a moron i can see the differences between the campaigns.I don't have to have the differences pointed out and then in the process run your opponents name through the mud. I found her to be more vicious in her speech then joe biden was and i don't like viciousness. I guess the majority of americans can only make up their mind when they are angry and pumped up by vicious attacks against an opponent. I did like some of the stuff i read about her though with her selling her corporate jet and some of the reforms she tried to get done in alaska. And to be honest i liked the old john mccain for the most part. Now with him trying to tie himself more closely to bush turns me off too. I think it's all just a way to get into office where he can do his own thing. To do the things us independant people like him for. But if he dies in office I don't know if i want such a woman as president. It sucks that there are only two choices in our political system. I agree with things from both sides but i don't like where the country has been heading the past 8 years. I don't like some of the things obama is saying. Why in the world can't we raise enough money to get the libertarian party turned into a national party.
