Sarah Palin's convention speech really inspired me

[Mortos]

to give my first donation to Barack Obama. That tundra trash talkin shrilla from Wasilla pissed me off enough to open my wallet, get my visa debit card and pull $25 out of my tiny bank account. I donated through DU's drive and I pushed the total to over $37000 towards the goal of $50K. You can donate here: http://my.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/main/du

She threw down the gauntlet with lies, distortions and spin. Now we need to double our efforts to defeat McCain and Palin. She is firing up the right wing evangelicals in a way McCain could never hope to. Hopefully she is turning off the moderates and undecided people with IQ's higher than the number of months she has been governor.

Anyhoo, hope you donate what you can. I plan on donating at least $25 per check until the election. I will cook at home more and eat out less to make it up. My food usually tastes better anyway and victory will be even more delicious.

Oh, by the way, I can't wait to read the National Enquirer for the next few months. On newstands now!!!

Good luck to us all.

3. Sorry, I misread that part but what really trying to tell you that

Shrilla it is!

8. Thanks for the edit

My W turned upside down. Ever since Bush fucked up the country, I have a real aversion to that letter.

4. Just sent another Obama donation

And made sure I asked them to "Please
beat that crazy Palin woman" in the comment
section.

I wonder how much they're going to bring in because of
that nutjob?

6. $50. donation

Same republican talking points I've seen since Reagan. I'm tired of this country derailed.

7. It convinced me to get involved with the local Obama crew

If McCain wins, kiss America goodbye- we need to take our country back!

[kysrsoze]

9. I just did too. High five to ya! I was so disgusted, I couldn't NOT donate

We're going to beat these P.O.S. jackasses.

10. Tonight was the first time in my life I ever donated to a non-local campaign.

I was a devout republican for 20 years. I am literally sick in my heart and gut that I bought into their lies for so long. And after listening to Obama's speech at the DNC (after also reading much about him) I decided to switch parties. He will get my vote 100%, and as much as I can swing financially in donations. Obama's speech brought me hope, while Palin's speech tonight made me sorry I EVER voted for any of those lying fools. Which is why I donated tonight.

The only thing I have left to say about my old party is never again!

14. Thank you, Thank you, Thank YOU!!!

I have many friends and family members who were republican and were smart enough and wise enough to see the damage inflicted by Bush and his cronies. I am so inspired by people like you who make a principled decision based on facts and their own humanity.

Welcome to DU and thank you for what you have done.

I am glad you are here.

15. Ladies and Gentlemen Welcome Catlady to DU like I know you can

Thanks again for your donation and your change of heart.

[catlady]

17. Thanks for the welcome. :)

My husband (also lifelong repub), and son (first time voter) have also given their support to Obama. I wonder if the republican party even cares about losing us regular hard working people?

[Mortos]

20. Thank them for us too

We can win only win this fight with people like your family realizing that the Republican party today is not the same as it was 20 years ago. It has completely abandoned it's platforms and principals and is openly screwing America right into a divided society.

My review of her speech:

Hated it! Men on Films style.

13. Hells yeah. I donated a few days ago and will donate again when I get paid.

I have a feeling she's inspiring a lot of people to donate to Obama.
