I really appreciated a comment by JP on Hotair when he said “It is no time to bend over and just smile and nod while the man Lies through his teeth to the American People, paticularly on an issue that will fundamentally change American and Politics in AMerica, till we collapse anyway.” I think Mrs Palin stuck to that philosophy as she responded.
Conservatives who allow wishywashy assumptions to stand, such as the official response’s “we agree Americans want…” allow the administration to get away with defining the wants of Americans in the ways that most benefit their arguments. Mrs. Palin breaks that convention and in doing so champions the fundamental cause of freedom that underlies the entire debate.

Jedi Master Sarah Palin wounds Sith Lord Obama
Yesterday, when I was talking about how conservatives should be arguing, I was referring to the strategy that Sarah Palin used today in her response to the president’s speech last night.

Her response did three vital things:
a) Correct the record
b) Expose the flaws in the underlying assumptions
c) Demand honesty
