Sarah was spot on with key issues during the debate. We need energy independence and that means drilling for our own oil and tapping our natural gas while developing alternate energy sources. She realizes energy independence is strategic to our national security more than the "no-drill Democrats" that refuse to let this country tap our resources while China is exploring for oil off of Cuba. We need lower taxes and smaller government. We don't need Obama's 1 trillion government spending package; we don't need higher capital gain taxes, dividend taxes, payroll taxes, and corporate taxes which Obama will says he will do. The engine of growth is not the government but businesses. Most Americans are employed by businesses. If you make it more costly for businesses to run their business, then they will not employ people. It feels good to "punish" corporations by taxing their profits, but the consequence is higher unemployment, closure, while other corporations may just leave this country where their profits are not taxed. Biden loves to blame Bush for the financial crisis, but Barney Frank (D) and Maxine Waters (D) et al are on record saying there was no crisis at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae when regulators were raising concerns but rather brushed it as fear mongering by Republicans. What a joke to see Barney Frank speaking as if he knows how to solve the banking crisis. We need to win in Iraq and not announce to the enemy when we are going to leave. Everyone knows that the surge which Biden and Obama were against has worked and ironically has lead to the discussion of even bringing troop levels down and not out until we know that Iraq is stable. McCain had the right strategy, insight and Obama/Biden did not see it. Obama on the foreign policy stage would be disastrous. Obama did say he would sit down with the Iranian leader. Now he is backtracking a bit. He even brought up an example of how Kennedy met with Khrushchev. What a poor example for Obama to mention! It only illustrates his lack judgment and sense of history. One month after Kennedy and Khrushchev met, Khrushchev started to build the Berlin Wall. A year and half after that meeting Obama highlighted as a hallmark of negotiation, Khrushchev was sending Russian missiles to Cuba. Sarah and McCain are right – Obama would be dangerous.
