You know what I think of people when they come on “Hardball,” and they look at the camera, I think they’re dolts.

So Chris…considering how much time YOU spend looking into the camera…as well as yourself in your dressing room mirror, exactly what does that say to you?

Who is she supposed to look at? She is addressing the American Public, thus she is SUPPOSED to be loking at the camera you imbicile! What, was she supposed to do a Capt. Big Ears “Aw Shucks” and look at her feet while kicking the ground?

The real problem here is the fact that Matthews cannot abide by a strong woman who would look him in the eyes. He still thinks a woman should always look down at him and not in his puffy pink face.

Having a woman look him in the eyes intimidates him and makes him come to grips with what a little pretend male he is.

Chris Matthews- Political Pundit Non-Action Figure

If the folks at MSNBC think Palin is a dolt – they should meet her supporters.

Speaking of dolts, please explain Biden’s laughable statements about Hezbollah and Lebanon.

Speaking to the camera is not only correct but the most natural response.

The candidates should be speaking to we the television audience and to a lesser degree, the viewers in attendance.

In a televised debate, it’s all about connecting with your audience and Palin accomplished that splendidly.

As Ed McMahon used to say to Johnny – “You are correct, Sir!”.

From the Kate Smith Commemorative Society:

“After several days of futile attempts to write a new patriotic song, Berlin remembered the one he had written in 1918. He asked his secretary to retrieve it from the trunk, and he made a few changes to the lyrics. One was from “Stand beside her and guide her/ To the right with a light from above” to through the night,” since “right wing” and “left wing” had taken on political connotations in the interim.”

I lived and worked overseas for many years and when I came back in 2004I found my high school sweetheart and am still with her today. She is also a conservative. Because of the slant of the LSM she made the remark last night about Sarah taking on the Oil Companies and having them pay royalties. I had to point out, while yes that was great what she did, even though the average Oil Company made a vast profit, they also paid nearly triple that profit in Taxes to Uncle Sugar. She looked at me and said I never knew that because “they” always talked about the obscene profits. Literally the LSM is nothing more than the Left Wing propaganda machine of the democRats as we have always known, it is just so blatant now that it cannot be overlooked.

An interesting exercise for you. Go to Marketwatch.com and enter the stock symbol XOM (ExxonMobil) in the little search block at the top of the page. On the page that comes up click on the profile tab. About halfway down that page you will see a profit margin of 11.3%. Now enter other stock symbols you get:
GE – 13.1%
JNJ (Johnson & Johnson) – 17.3%

What you will find after doing just some basic research is that the oil companies are right in the middle of the pack. Anybody who calls for a windfall profit tax on the oil companies is not being honest. Why are oil companies profits obscene and light bulb and shampoo companies higher profit margins not obscene?

Anytime a presidential candidate or MSM reporter talks about oil companies obscene or record profits without also mentioning record expenses is presenting only one side of the ledger and is showing bias.

Michelle, thank you for all you do.
You are tireless in defense of our country.
Thank you for living the words…

Stand beside her,
And guide her,
Through the night
With the light from above.

I read somewhere that the original words were …guide her, to the right, with a light from above.

Not that it matters, it just struck me as more appropriate here with the original words.
