Palin waxes populist

Maybe she's getting tips from her buddies at the AIP (no, not AIG folks).

McCain may escape this election with his dignity. Palin, however, is detined for Celebrity Boxing. I'm putting $50 on Tanya Harding, round 2.

I'm laughing reading that she doesn't want "another big spender in the White House," when her home state traditionally has the highest per capita federal funding in the entire country. It took Hurricane Katrina to knock Alaska off the top of that list - and Alaska still gets more federal dollars back from the treasury than Alaskans put in.

She suspended the gas, sales, and state income taxes for Alaskans, gave every Alaskan citizen a windfall check in the mail, and yet gladly took tax dollars that other Americans paid in their federal income taxes. Good deal for Alaska, bad deal for the rest of us.

You've got to be kidding!! People need to view her rally/transcript for themselves. If that was considered Obama bashing, I'm afraid the media wants Sarah to not mention his name at all in order to exonerate her from such accusations. This is a campaign folks, it's fair to make mention of the opponent!! Does the media acuse Barack of "McCain bashing" each time he mentions John's name? No; so lets start having some unbiased reporting and journalism. Tells us what happened and let the people decide!!!!
Enough is enough I've gone from undecided to McCain, if for no other reason than I'm weary of the media trying to throw this election.

AMEN to Mary

I hate to burst Foon Rhee's bubble, but this is a terribly inaccurate article. I'd like to know if he was even there. I attended to the rally to see what Palin was all about. Countless times I've heard people say that the media is liberally prone, but I never really believed it until I read this article. Sarah Palin only mentioned John McCain's economic relief plan once. As for bashing Barack Obama, I only remember her addressing him twice.
With all due respect Foon Rhee, what speech were you watching? Because your account certainly bears no resemblance to the original. As 19 year old first time voter, I went to the rally undecided. But due to this article, I'll be voting McCain/Palin this November.

Palin, on the other hand, is a complete neophyte who burst onto the national scene a mere six weeks ago. Her enthusiastic reception by social conservatives and less educated Republicans is alarming in light of her lack of preparation for national office. Her meteoric rise to fame marks the abandonment of political process for celebrity worship. Here is a woman whose pregnant teenage daughter is about to marry a foul-mouthed drug user while Palin is held up as an all-American mom, whose secessionist husband joined her in abuse of official power while she is held up as a paragon of patriotism, whose ignorance of history and law is looked upon as irrelevant and refreshing. How can this suspension of disbelief last longer than the length of a bad movie? Whether or not her candidacy is successful we must ask how this pretender has been promoted so effectively by the cynical McCain campaign managers. The future of this nation is at stake and too many of our fellow citizens cannot see the danger in her potential rise to the highest office in the land. It is truly frightening.

Jefflz - Don't know where to begin, but here goes 1) She has more experience than Barack, who is running for higher office; 2)"less educted Republicans"...this info is from where? and them vs. the Acorn registered voters?; 3) Her "meteoric rise" is only eclipsed by Barack's - the rock star; 4) Leave her daughter alone. She just got caught and stayed honest about something you wish you were doing last night; 5) don't know if the boy is a drug user, but Barack admittedly has used coke and weed as you will see in his book! He's running for PRESIDENT!!! 6) Joe Biden made 15 errors in the debate, and he has experience. Jeff, read his books, thats some scarry stuff......

Wow, deciding who to vote for from one article in a blog. Why not go to each candidate's website and read what their views and policy goals are, THEN make up your mind?
Our democracy was not structured to have people making electoral decisions from newspapers, television news casts, infotainment, or blogs.
Go to the sources, get ALL of the facts. I don't care who you choose, just make your choice for a better reason then "I'll show that journalist what I think of her article!"
It doesn't matter who they know, it doesn't matter what they look like, it doesn't matter what articlers say abou tthem. Go read about their positions and plans. Inform yourself.

Palin waxes populist?

Yes, because her populist comes out more silky and hair-free than when she shaves it.

Couldn't agree with more! Been doing just that; trying to find out about the candidates from unbiased sources, and unedited speeches and news clips.
This was just enough to put me over the top............I was at this rally and this report doesn't come close to giving an accurate picture of Sarah's speech.
Thanks for the challenge...........you're right on the money.
