Giuliani and Palin

I have to say that Giuliani did a poor job supporting the Republican party.
Giuliani did his part in bashing the Democratic party by talking down about Obama's "indecisiveness".
He talked about how the Democrats never mentioned "Islamic Terrorists" during the DNC, because they didn't want to offend anyone, but apparently the only people they would offend would be terrorists?
And then he talked down about Hillary Clinton.

Bad. Bad. Bad.

I feel that at the DNC Islamic Terrorists were not mentioned because there are, in fact, Islamic Americans... and they could be offended by this generality. Also, perhaps Obama didn't focus on the terrorist issue because he wants to focus on AMERICA. America is SUFFERING. America has been suffering, and we need to get out of this war anyway!

Giuliani supports the abortion rights, same sex civil unions and gun control. This opposes the party that he spoke for.

How do the Republicans hope to gain previous Hillary Clinton supporters if they continuously talk down about her views?

During the RNC I feel that the speakers are very repetitive. They discuss how John McCain served his country, how he was a POW, and how inexperienced they feel Obama is.
What about the problems we have in America? What about our suffering economy? What about the middle class? The real middle class, not the group of people that make under 5 million a year, because well, that is not what I would call America's middle class.

Palin's speech seemed to have a lot of focus on her life and her family. She talked about how candidates should be caring, giving, and acting for the common good. Thankfully she talked about our oil problem. Apparently if her and McCain win, they are going to lay down thousands of miles of pipeline... I'm going to assume she means in Alaska because "from experience" she knows there is plenty of oil there. Americans will get jobs from this. How are we going to pay for all this pipeline?
Are we supposed to move to Alaska for jobs?

What about Education? What about Healthcare? What about lower income families? What about the number of people who are jobless now?

I feel like these speeches, especially Palin's, should have focused more on the problems of America's economy and not just about showing how much McCain has done, or how little they feel Obama has done. McCain has served. McCain has served. McCain has served.
What is McCain's service, 40 years ago, doing for me, a 19 year old struggling college student?
Nothing.
What is it doing for single mothers?
Poor people?
The jobless?
Education?

Exactly.

I need healthcare. I need better jobs, better OPPORTUNITIES for jobs.
Unfortunately, instead I hear about is McCain serving, and being a POW decades ago.

I need change within America.
