The REAL Obama convention acceptance speech (above).

The Ultimate Jew talks about Michelle Obama and Joe Biden.

Can you really trust Biden and/or Obama with military secrets?

Andrea Mitchell is attacked by happy Republicans!

WARNING: STRONG AND OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE. I understand that we don’t all share the same sense of humor, and that some of you may get a bit “offended” by the above clip, but I must admit that after putting it into the balance of SAVAGE Politics, this video should be enjoyable on many levels.

McCain’s latest ad (above)!

Short clip of Sarah Palin, doing an interview with Charlie Rose, a year before she was picked as VP. Can anyone in the Media truly doubt her prowess when facing the Nation?

This video is also from Charlie Rose (at the show’s green room), from about a year ago (the show just edited the introduction to point out that she is now the Republican VP). Watching this video should automatically dispel any sexist notion that she is a “creation” of the McCain campaign, specially when you realize that all of her political objectives and concerns were already firmly developed at this time. If anything, we could say that John McCain has been deeply influenced by her views, specially on energy independence and drilling. Enjoy!

EXCELLENT interview of US Weekly’s editor about their sleazy story on Palin.

Rev. Manning shouts: SARAH PALIN ROCKS!!

Before we discuss John McCain’s acceptance speech last night, it is important to point out that Sarah Palin, during her speech a few nights ago, actually BEAT Barack Obama’s audience numbers (during his acceptance speech) by more than 2 million viewers. The Associated Press is now reporting that the original numbers provided to the press, which made her numbers out to be around 37 million viewers (and thus 1 million less than Obama), did not count PBS viewership, a factor that now puts her over the 40 million mark. She not only beat Obama, she also beat the ratings for this year’s Academy Awards, the Olympics opening ceremony in Beijing, and the “American Idol” finale.

An audience of 37.2 million people watched Palin on ABC, CBS (nyse: CBS - news - people ), NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC, Nielsen Media Research said Thursday. PBS estimated its audience at 3.9 million, based on a less reliable sample of several big cities. Nielsen does not count the audience for C-SPAN, which also showed the speech.

Last week, Nielsen said 38.4 million people watched Obama speak at a Denver stadium on the six commercial networks, along with BET, TV One, Univision and Telemundo - four networks that didn’t cover Palin’s speech. PBS added an estimated 4 million to that total.

Nearly 2 million more women were watching Palin than men, Nielsen said. (SOURCE - Forbes)

The fact that Palin beat Obama in ratings, even when she was excluded from major networks like BET, TV One, Univision, and Telemundo, and the fact that she just came out into the National scene a few days before, tells you a lot about her demographic appeal and her strength as a candidate. It also tells you that the American people are starting to replace him as the “hot” and “new” political commodity of this election.

Nonetheless, it is clear that last night was John McCain’s night, and after riding the coat tails of the biggest Republican Star since Ronald Reagan, Sarah Palin, everyone obviously placed tremendous pressure on him to somehow match up her oratorical performance.

As we all know, McCain has never been a good orator, since he feels a lot better (and is indeed masterful) with ‘off the cuff’ improvisation and ’straight talking’ with the voters. But although yesterday might be a great example of this exact lack of “shine” as a skilled teleprompter reader (at least in the first half of his speech), he did show the two most important characteristics that ALL presidential candidates should firmly posses, and which many of today’s candidates are missing; the strength that comes from EXPERIENCE and a well seasoned CHARACTER.

John McCain’s best moments came when he was able to highlight his personal experiences as a POW and simultaneously presented some clear cut campaign pledges to the American people, all of which were in concert with his maverick persona. The most prominent of all pledges was his firm promise to veto EVERY SINGLE BILL that contains hidden earmarks and ‘pork barrel’ spending. This theme, which is in fact a very traditionally conservative subject, will definitely resonate with most of our citizens, since even the least educated American understands that one of the main problems in Washington is the corruption and uncontrolled spending that has been taking place there for years (one of G.W. Bush’s worst sins), and that is partially responsible for crippling our economy.

McCain was also courageous enough (if there is such a thing in a political convention) to actually point out to his party that they have been led astray, a factor that almost all Americans would have to agree with, if they only think of Bush’s BIG GOVERNMENT and actually LIBERAL policies. Without pointing any fingers, he directly told his audience that when he becomes president, he will NOT work for the Republican Party, but only for the public. Of course, as we all know, partisanship is part of how our system works (and some would argue that without it, we wouldn’t anything done), but McCain is all too willing to play out this traditional and populist theme all the way to the polls, and even if some will certainly disagree with it, we have to respect his determination and commitment.

Interestingly, in the last few days, a lot of pundits in both CNN, MSNBC and FOX have been rabidly questioning Republicans as to why they have dedicated their entire convention to the ‘character’ and ‘personality’ of John McCain (vs. Obama).

Have they somehow forgotten what has been going on for the last few months within the Democratic Party? Are they willfully disregarding the fact that Obama’s convention in Denver was exactly the same?

The question should be, at least for these supposed journalists: What is the reason for this shift in the political discussion? The answer is quite easy: It is COMPLETELY based on how the Obama campaign has framed this race from the very beginning.

From the very start of their run, it has ALWAYS been about OBAMA and his PERSONALITY of “change” and “hope” (thus “The One”). His pretensions to the ‘throne’ are notorious and have been completely based on the idea that by simply looking at him, you would be able to realize that he represents a “different direction” for America, JUST BECAUSE of his youth and his RACE. Obama has NEVER been specific about any new policies and has only rehashed the exact same proposals that John Kerry espoused four years ago (he even shares his main speech writer). Obama has NEVER presented any accomplishment on his part that in any way justifies his preparedness to be the President of the United States, EXCEPT the fact that he was “born in Hawaii”, “lived overseas”, and was a “community organizer”. During the Democratic Convention, we were subjected to countless videos of Michelle Obama’s personal background, about Biden’s “working class” background, Obama’s “community organizing” background, etc.

Without a doubt, the person who has been responsible for making this election entirely about personality has ALWAYS been Barack Obama. But now that it is quite clear that in comparison to McCain’s character, personal story, and overall life experience, his own slim resume makes him look like a complete FOOL (and as a very wimpy liberal!), he is now running scared trying to make this race about ANYTHING else. I am sure this is happening because all of his internal polling has proven to his campaign that running a race about “personality” is actually hurting them tremendously and that, unlike what most pundits in the media would like us to believe, the more people know about him, the LESS they like him.

Ironically, no matter how much they try to now reframe this election, the Democrats will soon realize what a HUGE mistake they made when they picked this highly incompetent man to carry their banner all the way up to November.

Obama’s blatant inexperience and lack of fluidity in all the political subjects that are now affecting the American public, and his constant flip flopping on EVERY important issue, will be the key that will open the door for his wide defeat in November. But the final deathblow will actually come from the utter disgust that most people are starting to feel about his overtly arrogant sense of entitlement, which constantly oozes out of every speech, every comment and every interview that he does.

Last night, John McCain was effective in demonstrating the most important aspect of this (and every) political campaign: He proved that he has EARNED, through blood, sweat and tears, the Presidency of the United States.

McCain’s entire speech:

Although utilizing the term “born” unintentionally dismisses the fact that she has been a rising star of the New Right in American politics for a long time, it is nonetheless true that Sarah Palin’s speech yesterday was one of the most important speeches in recent history and that a true American Icon has been born.

The Mainstream Media had viciously attacked her and her family for being “normal”. She was asked questions regarding her skills as a mother, had her daughter scrutinized in front of millions of people (as no other candidate’s offspring had before), and was questioned about her experience to be a “national candidate”, even though her skills and background SURPASS Obama’s slim and pathetic resume by far. And after all of this, Sarah Palin came out fighting, not only fulfilling the high expectations placed upon her by everyone in the Media, but actually comfortably exceeded them.

As a matter of fact, until last night, no one had effectively and publicly humiliated Obama’s pretensions to the Presidency of the United States as Sarah Palin did within the confines of a few strokes. Her poise and strength brilliantly shone through, albeit delicately and with a ‘little girl’ meanness that is the epitome of everything that a truly independent American woman is.

But why are all the Obama Cultists so terrified of this woman and what her performance last night means?

Because she didn’t speak to them. Her speech was not aimed at the “Obama crowd”, it was not even aimed at the “Latte Youth”, it was aimed at MOST Americans. It was calmly and delicately placed in the laps of the White Working class of this country, the same people that Obama is so desperate to grab (and one of the reasons that motivated his Joe “the Drunk” Biden VP selection). To these Americans, the opinions of bloggers, editorial boards, and other assorted propaganda arms of the Democratic Party are COMPLETELY irrelevant. They will vote for him/her that makes them feel comfortable about their ability to run this country with competense, knowledge and dignity.

For this reason, Sarah Palin is a much wider and stronger political Icon than Obama could ever hope to be, because she IS a true American from top to bottom. Unlike Mr. Obama, she has an ACTUAL RECORD of reform, of rebellion, of idependence. She is NOT from Harvard, Indonesia, Kenya, nor the corrupt streets of Chicago. She is not friendly with anti American terrorists like William Ayers, nor is she apologetic of Islamic terrorism (as Obama has proven to be by funding their efforts through his friend Khalidi). She knows how a fishing rod looks like, she actually understands why the right to bear arms is an important aspect of our culture. Her grandmother was not a Bank executive, like Obama’s. She didn’t attend the most expensive and “privileged” school in her State (unlike Obama). She is LITERALLY one of us, with all of the negatives and positives that this entails.

But her speech last night even transcends all of these ‘tactical’ elements.

Women, all over the United States, had the opportunity to be part of history. They watched as the first female Vice President (and more likely than not, the first female President) of this great country was presented to them in a raw fashion. Even the corrupt MSNBC and CNN “analysts” had to readily admit that she had gone above and beyond all expectations. Wolf Blitzer himself said, immediately after her speech, that “she just hit a home run…a grand slam”.

Even Obama’s childish response to her speech demonstrates the game changing event that they had just witnessed, somehow trying to equate her speech to Goerge W. Bush, something that is so laughable that it even merited Brit Hume’s mockery as a “silly and rehashed” reaction to a speech of this important magnitude.

Of course, these inevitable reactions to such a powerful speech does NOT mean that the Media will  somehow give up in their attempts to derail her candidacy. We must not forget that yesterday, Sarah Palin openly declared war on their profession and class! She mocked their pretensions for the envious corruption that it demonstrates, and there can be no doubt that they are VERY angry about it. Unlike their sycophantic praise given to Obama after every speech he gives, none of these “experts” compared her speech to Lincoln, Kennedy, or even Reagan, even though they have done exactly this for every single speech that Obama has read from Jon Favreau’s notebooks (Obama’s Gen-X and White speech writer).

Also, many women who rabidly advocate for Obama are now entering overdrive, as they try to make the case that Sarah Palin is somehow “bad” for women, without truly explaining to us how that is even possible within the context of what she has achieved. Some are even claiming that her selection is an “insult to Hillary Clinton”, even though from the very start, they argued that this was not about “Clinton” but about “empowering women”.

In conclusion, the Democratic Party has fallen into a trap from which they will not be able to recover. No matter how many times they attack her, she will always come out on top (BECAUSE of said smears). Why? Because the Republicans got themselves a truly genuine, working class, better looking, stronger, younger, smarter, and tougher version of “Obama”. The same attacks that have fallen on deaf ears about Obama’s misguivings, only because of what “he represents to them”, is the EXACT SAME REASON why they have just lost the election when facing Mrs. Palin.

Most Americans might consider “Hope” and “Change” as a viable alternative, but only if their vote is guaranteed by an experienced and tough person watching over them and having the last word during a crisis if necessary. McCain/Palin offers this comfortably, while Obama/Biden simply does not.

Americans get tired quite easily of the “new for newness’ sake” of anything, but unlike Obama, who has been exposed to this attention for many months, Palin has just arrived on the scene and is thus ‘as fresh as you can get’. The liberal Media and their anointed (Obama) only have a month to criticize her, and this is simply not enough to have a truly effective political result in their favor (unless you go bitterly negative, and  as it has proven with Mrs. Palin, it will automatically backfire on them).

The visceral love and affection that this woman is engendering right now, all across small towns in America, is comparable to how many young African Americans might feel about what Obama “means” to them, except that that the latter (young minorities) are an electorally insignificant group, while the former (white working class voters, who are the ones that actually decide elections in this country).

Last night, the Dems were beaten in their own game, and today, they will try to figure out how to convince rural voters that voting for an interracial man, with a Kenyan father, who lived in Indonesia, who graduated from Harvard Law, who is pathetically inexperienced (constantly affirmed by members of his own party), who has THREE Muslim names, who attended the Black Liberation Theology church of Rev. Wright, and who has publicly made negative comments about their culture (”clinging to guns, and religion to explain their frustrations”), is SOMEHOW “more in touch” with their interests, than both Sarah Palin and the man who picked her, John McCain

It is a beautiful day for America…Enjoy it!
