Sarah Palin and TV Ratings

It must gall the Mainstream that Sarah Palin brings the highest ratings ever when she appears on key shows. I love that the highest SNL ratings in 14 years came when Sarah Palin appeared - that means that she beat out both Clintons!

The VP debate was more watched than any of the other debates, let alone any VP debate ever. And I assure you, it had nothing to do with Joe Biden.

And since BuzzDash likes to edit the heck out of polls, here is the one published on the site - it might be worded well, but it was about more than SNL:

I missed my Wednesday night shows for this?

McCain and Hussein debating each other is so bad, that I ended up flipping channels and watching 3 episodes of Tyler Perry's House of Payne instead. In 90 minutes, I knew more about the characters on a show that I've never seen before, than I would ever learn about BO and McCain in the same amount of time. Keep in mind, I did keep trying to sit through the debate by flipping back and forth.

You always hear about how great Obama is at speaking, but that is only when he's in front of a teleprompter. It makes me laugh to think of what a mess he'd have made of it if he were the one facing a badly functioning teleprompter like what Sarah Palin had. She pulled off her speech amazingly. He'd fall on his face.

I am so pissed off at having McCain as the Republic nominee. I blame the sorry primary system which basically has it all over in a few days. I blame McCain's lying ads the weekend before the Florida primary, and I blame Charlie Crist, who will never get my vote again - he's even more liberal than McCain.

McCain continued to spout the same refuted lies about Romney in the last Republican debate, and he did the same last night - he had millions of things he could say about BO and didn't, but instead chose little things that have already been disproved. I wanted to throw something at him, he made me so mad.

Watching Barry was amusing though. You always know when he is either lying or trying to come up with something that isn't a memorized talking point - he starts stammering and stuttering. At least McCain just starts going off on a tangent.

Neither choice is great, but with BO - you get his ties to an unrepentant terrorist, his underhanded housing deals, his representation of ACORN in the past, his absolute socialistic behavior and promises, and the list goes on.
