Have you no shame at all? Does nothing embarrass you?
Watching the RNC tonight was an eye-opener. The crazed evangelical ramblings of Mitt Romney were enlightening although paled in comparison to the comedic stylings of Rudy Guiliani and Sarah Palin. Who knew that Rudy and Sarah were so hilarious? Good news for Palin, I suppose, in case that VP job doesn't pan out.
During the DNC, Republicans were not insulted for their efforts. Democratic speakers took the time to acknowledge the positive qualities that John McCain offers as a candidate. Unfortunately, the Republicans can not say the same. Both Guiliani and Palin spent much of their time at the podium insulting and degrading Barack Obama for the work that he has done. Guiliani went so far as to encourage the crowd of Republican head-bobbers to laugh at Obama's community organizing, laughing while they chanted "Zero" when asked about Obama's experience. Since this is the party of Christians, tell me Republicans, is this what Jesus would have you do? Mock other people? Insult people who work for the greater good to improve the lives of disenfranchised people?
Because neither McCain or Palin have anything to offer to the American people in terms of improving the sad state of our nation, they had little to say beside the snide comments and sarcastic insults of the truly desperate. When you have no fresh ideas, when you have no clue as to how to fix what's broken, when you are completely overwhelmed and under-qualified, you turn to childish defensiveness. The shame of it all.
Republicans, I know some of you do feel shame. It's time to do the right thing and vote for Barack Obama, someone you don't have to be ashamed of. Vote for the right candidate. You have everything to gain, specifically your pride.

I can't help but feel that the republicans are now just goading Obama. Knowing they can't win on substance, strength, reputation, etc., they're pulling out all the stops and trying to throw anything at him that will make him respond in a way that will make him lose his cool. Then they can jump out and say, "See! We told you he's not to be trusted!"
What I do know watching Obama is that he never takes the bait, responds to things in his own time, and always brings the message back on point. Let's hope he keeps it up this time.
