The Angry Right

What you heard last week from the Democrats was praise for McCain's service but disagreement over policies and where the country should go after 8 years of Bush. What you heard tonight from Giuliani, Palin, and the delegates was nothing but fear and loathing. They feel contempt for everyone and everything that stands between them and power.

Why ridicule Obama's service in order to elevate her tenure as Mayor? In terms of policy and leadership, Palin's speech tonight was a joke.

Meanwhile Giuliani continues to come off as a ham-fisted thug. His post-game interview was full of lies: despite his assertions more people live Obama's cosmopolitan world of cities and suburbs than the mythical small towns of Palin and, McCain did not win decisively in the primaries; he benefited from the winner take on system that helped him win in spite of his parties' preference for people like Huckabee and Paul. All in all Giuliani is a noun, a verb, and a big fat jerk.
