I found Dave Shapiro’s recent column, “Republican vote takes more than just taxes,” presumptuous and offensive.

Sarah Palin is funny. You want to laugh at her when she says things like “you betcha” or “doggone it” or addresses the government as though speaking to an invisible deity: “Hey Government, you’re not always the solution.”

The Republicans shouldn’t have a chance in this fall’s election.

She stood in front of a roaring crowd holding signs saying “Palin Power” and “We love hockey moms.” Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin delivered her first speech on Wednesday night to a nation not yet familiar with her background.
