Isn't Sarah Palin a "Socialist" too?

(Updated with video) McCain's last ditch effort is to say that Obama is a socialist. Wallace called him out on it.
WALLACE: But, Senator, you voted for the $700 billion bailout that's being used partially to nationalize American banks. Isn't that socialism?
As we know, Conservatism has run up the largest debt this country has ever known, started two wars and destroyed Wall Street under the "Compassionate One," but be afraid of Obama. I saw Sarah Palin saying the same thing.
On Sunday, she went a step further.
“Barack Obama calls it spreading the wealth,” she said. “Joe Biden calls higher taxes patriotic. But Joe the plumber and Ed the dairy man, I believe that they think that it sounds more like socialism. Friends, now is no time to experiment with socialism.”
Didn't she redistribute the wealth in Alaska? You know, take the oil profits, impose a tax and kick it back to Alaskans?
Note: Sarah Palin is the governor of a state that practices collective ownership of oil and other natural resources, and equally distributes the state's cut of the revenues to every citizen.

Every Republican attack this year has been a projection of some weakness in their own position.
Don't you mean every Republican attack in the last 30 years?
Taintstains for America! http://www.filthyrichmond.com/
I's only socialism if a democrat does it.
Can you say "Permanent Fund"?
.. the US Postal Service... our local Fire Departments... our Public Schools, SOCIAL Security, ... the list DOES go on... you see, what these superficial GOP are doing is playing the wErd on the massive crowds of ignorance out there who have swallowed the pill that Socialism is something akin to a totalitarian prison camp... and sadly, it works...
I started working for "The Postal Service " when they changed the name from "Post Office Department" to "Postal Service". They removed the service when they added the word. I quit that job about 12 years later ashamed that I couldn't give the people ANY SERVICE. Many of the older employees also quit for the same reason.
From the link:
"...when the oil companies pay more taxes to the state of Alaska, they get to write that off against their federal tax obligation, leaving the rest of us to make up the shortfall."
Spreading the Wealth, or Buying the Vote?
Joe the Plumber? Ed the Dairy Man?
Is McCain running a Presidential campaign or marketing a line of blue collar action figures?
Those are jobs that can't be outsourced.
How about Todd the BP Oilman, as in Todd Palin.
She didn't even know the meaning of the word until last week and still doesn't think it applies to her.
Go home, terrorist! Go back to your racist, hate-filled world and leave the rest of us the fuck alone!
And I'll bet 95% of her redneck audience has NO idea what a socialist is to begin with. She just uses her "that's bad" voice and the rubes boooooooooooo.
What makes you so sure she knows the meaning of the word now?
Lets put this 'socialist' crap to bed now.
This all seems to be stemming from Obama's comment about 'spreading the wealth'.
Well socialism would be sharing the wealth. You know, taking wealth from wealthy people and giving it to poor people. In fact that kinda sounds like 'trickle down' economics, don't it?
Spreading the wealth, i.e. more wealthy people is, oh how do I put this... the goal of capitalism.
Here endeth the lesson.
That is exactly what I said. They give the money (tax cuts and breaks) to the rich in "hopes" that they will spread it down to the workers. Obama is saying that the "trickle" plan did not work, so let's give the breaks and cuts directly to the people who we want to benefit.
And anyone who thinks that taxes are not going to go up, no matter who is in office, is delusional. At least Obama is honest enough to admit it and express exactly who will be hurt by it.
And this notion that people who don't pay taxes will benefit from tax cuts is obsurd. First to get a tax cut, you have to be employed, and either you pay taxes at the end or they are taken from your income throughout the year. And to receive the cut you must actually file. So many dumb things. And McCain even agreed that those receiving unemployment should stop being taxed. So it just proves that he is all over the place.
Alaska has always given subsidies to it's population.
The amount of self absorbed, morons on this board is amazing.
I'm starting to think many more Americans get their news from FOX then previously counted.
How this stupidity gets traction among the voters is unbelievable...
is this nation so illiterate that the average person believes this s**t?
Fox is just the initial megaphone. Thanks to our MSM spineless habit of passing on all info uncritically and usually without context, the stuff Fox dredges from the fringe and barfs out to the mainstream is then regurgitated ad-nauseum by the rest of the brain-dead MSM in an embarrassingly flawed attempt at appearing 'unbiased'.
Yes, yes it is.
Fox News, the people magazine of news networks, for those with the attention span of a gnat.
I'm just sick and tired of Sarah Palin and all she stands for. I'm tired of her voice, her drama, her bs, and especially her fake indignation over just about everything.
In the bizarre world of Republicanism, under cover of the shadow government, Sarah Palin is being coached by Dan Quayle. I can tell, cuz she never says jack sh*t about specifics, just like Quayle us-ta.
The way Mccain has handled his campaign so far, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if they picked Quayle to be her coach.
Alaska, in addition to distributing those funds from natural resources, also is second in states receiving funds from the federal government! They have an incredibly small tax burden there. Talk about nerve! Her running mate voted for a "wealth redistribution" from the middle class to wealthy Wall Street fat cats. Yet OBAMA is criticized as a socialist? McCain-Palin is absolutely laughable in their attacks, throwing stones from a glass house that people can see through! And it is also true that RED states receive more federal funds in return for the taxes they send to DC; blue states pay more than their fair share.
what I was about to point out as well (and been wondering why no one has mentioned already several days ago)
Alaska does not have a state income tax
Today the talking points from the republicans is all about questioning where Obama's donations come from. I can tell them where some of his donations came from because I have the thank you letter from his campaign to prove it.
now she's using Friends in her sentences... I'm going to go mad if these fucktards McSame and Cariboot Barbie get in.
They keep regurgitating the commie stuff because there are alot of IDIOTS OUT THERE who believe this type of talk especially when its directed at a black man. It's hard to figure out who these people are because they don't wear white hoods anymore. The kkk and the Republicans...
Considering the failure of free market capitalism I think now would be an ideal time to "experiment with socialism." It's kind of a shame it will never happen here.
It's not just because she is a Repug. She reminds me of all the no-it-all-nothings who sail through life with a smile and a wink. She just doesn't seem smart. She won the Governorship because the other one was deeply flawed. She seems to have no inner depth. Just what we need. Another Governor with no intelligence. Sound familiar?
"Ed the Dairy Man"?
Sheesh, these people are fracking jokes. If 'Ed' is a real person, I sure the hell hope you vetted him more carefully than Joe 'No License and $1200 in Back Taxes' the Plumber.
is an Udder phoney!
ba-dum tshhh! Hey-O!
But, Palin doesn't understand what any of this really is. It's kind of unfair because she's an idiot.
f'ing idiot.
John you must not understand what the United States is all about. The founding fathers set this country up for white, rich, Christians. We just barely tolerate the others that mow our lawns and clean our toilets. Socialism between us is fine but if we start including the lower classes God will punish us. God loves rich, white, Christians and those that follow the ruling elite. God hates the poor black, and brown people.
You forgot poor white people.
instead of the Robert Redford lookalikes one usually sees in poster depictions. If Jesus came back today, his own followers would slaughter him b/c he doesn't fit their image.
Where I live, in a nice suburb, most of the white people mow their own lawns. I don't know you but of course you are snarking, but it can read either the insane way or comedy which I'm sure you meant otherwise I must be on the wrong site.
This is priceless, folks and just shows how totally desperate the McCain campaign has become.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/20/mcca...
I saw that story over at Kos. Funny as hell, considering the McCain campaign is insinuating that Obama may be getting contributions from some shady characters or something.
Because I was sick Saturday night and couldn't sleep, I happened to see Huckabee's show on Fox. His audience looked exactly like the audience on an infomercial.
Huckabee had stated earlier that he had booked "Joe the Plumber" for his show before the debates and all. But when Joe was on his show Saturday night he stated that after his name came up in the debate his friends were telling him to just lay low if he didn't want a lot of attention. He said in the middle of all the attention the following day or days, he got a call from Huckabee inviting him to be on his show. Then Joe sort of hesitated a bit and said all of a sudden he had lost his train of thought. I think he realized he had screwed up by telling exactly when Huckabee had called him.
Republicans should change their mascot from an elephant to a wrecked train.
Huh, I wonder how Mike knew all about Joe the Plumber before anyone else did?
Either he did, maybe because fox news was there to film the meeting of Obama and Joe, or he didn't know about joe and kinda fibbed about when he contacted Joe. I would tend to believe Joe because he so quickly became somewhat distracted after he said when Huckabee called him.
None of it is a big deal, it's just typical of the republican party screwing their own pooch.
As my wife likes to say:
Palin puts the "ick" in Maverick
LMAO !
+1
It's kinda silly to argue back at Sarah Palin. As John Cleese said, she's just a pretty parrot. She learns words, and repeats them quite well, but has no idea what they mean.
They want to put the taxpayer deeper in debt with another stimulus pkg. More debt for the children.
Agonizingly, America already has socialism, well, half of it anyway.
The majority of Americans pay taxes to the government for socialist systems, they're just not getting their money's worth. Instead, their taxes are used to prop up the rich and the corporations and wars...
The reason why America created all the social programs back when FDR was president was precisely because of what's happened during Bush's reign:
The wealthiest 1% have gone from owning 50% of America's wealth to 90%.
Ordinary folks are left without pensions and homeless.
It IS patriotic to pay taxes, because taxes fund our schools, our roads, our bridges, our levees, our regulatory agencies that make sure the water and toys our kids use are safe, etc.
Unfortunately, corporations have been allowed to abuse the tax system. They've gone from being responsible for 40% of the American tax base to less than 15%.
In the meantime, more and more of the taxes WE PAY have gone to PRIVATE corporations, many of which are providing services that cost us more (and aren't necessarily more efficient).
Look at Blackwater, whose soldiers get paid far more than American soldiers, yet have actually embarrassed our country and put our troops in danger.
Look at private healthcare, which is the most expensive in the world, yet you get more red tape and bureaucracy than if it were run by the government.
Look at 401k plans, an absolute boon to private companies, but there are plenty of people who'd rather have social security these days.
The key is to stop subsidizing companies that are raking in record profits and use our taxes for the public good.
Remember in Micheal Moore's film "Sicko" when he said the health care system should not be socialized it should be "christianized" Micheal sticking it in the faux Christians faces. Sarah Palin is one of those folks running around with a cross around her neck while she rolls over folks. Jesus would be for Obama.
Some interesting things going on over at Emptywheels about alleged Republican voter fraud in Greene County. Folks should follow Klynn's lead (over at Emptywheels) and go check out Republican students websites, blog rooms, chat sites to see if anyone has been foolish enough to put their attempts to commit voter fraud up on a website. Because if this kid that Klynn exposes gets nailed anyone else foolish to post this kind of activity up on a website will be taking it down pronto.

No no no. Are you forgetting Matthew 22:15-22? If Jesus were around today he wouldn't vote at all, and I can't say I blame him (or his Dad for that matter) for wanting to stay out of politics.
Jesus, the hypocrisy of these Republican/Ignorants/Conservatives/Racist/Bigots is infuriating. For them to make all these wild accusations when they're hoeing around even worse.
Hows the saying go? When you point your finger at someone, you've got three fingers pointing right back. Except the Republicans think that chopping off those fingers will actually work.
There seems to be nearly universal confusion over what socialism is. People hear the term and immediately think that it is a political ideology. It is not. It is an economic system - just like capitalism and, something that may surprise even MORE people, communism.
Political parties may have socialist economic policies as part of their platform but the two are not strictly related.
Ask someone who screams socialist what it means and they stutter for a response.
She says a lot of big words, but she has no idea what they mean.
Sarah Palin is dumber than a box of rocks - a conclusion even my children have made in watching her pathetic interviews on television and the screeching she does when she reads her teleprompter on the stump.
Sarah Palin has demonstrated that she's incapable of formulating a cohesive thought and uttering it coherently. She's also demonstrated a need to go back to high school English classes with her improper syntax and run on sentences which are not really sentences.
But there's so much more Sarah doesn't know - like everything else a Veep should know.
Powell hit it head one when he said that she is not qualified to be President.
After all, the only function of the Vice President is to fill in for the President. Clueless secessionist Sarah could definitley not handle the job.
She can't handle the ethical part of being Governor - this we discovered from Troopergate - how the hell would her secessionist ties allow this woman to even get a security clearance.
I've heard that Todd Palin surely would never get national security clearance. Guess he'd live off campus?
Need we say more?
This lady is cooked.
Don't forget the voting machines.

Indeed, the presidential campaign has rendered McCain nearly unrecognizable. His selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate was, as a short-term political tactic, brilliant. It was also irresponsible, as Palin is the most unqualified vice presidential nominee of a major party in living memory. The decision calls into question just what kind of thinking -- if that's the appropriate word -- would drive the White House in a McCain presidency. Fortunately, the public has shown more discernment, and the early enthusiasm for Palin has given way to national ridicule of her candidacy and McCain's judgment.
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/editorial...
As Robert Reich said recently about the bailout plan, in the U.S. we have socialism for the rich and capitalism for the rest.
The only people paying attention to her at this point are crazy people and her family....and I'm not positive about her family.
as to why Alaska, having a huge surplus, is taking federal money? I get that "they can."
In MY socialist world, states use their surpluses to "maintain" the state for the benefit of all, not deplete the national treasury (figure of speech) at a cost to all.
This sense of entitlement starts with the Governor and the First Dude.
Is it not correct that, while she was setting up this pay out to the Alaskan voter, she was setting up the selling of bonds for roads and oil infrastructure? She empties the treasury while causing the state to go into debt.
She is like a spouse to whom you give exact amount of money for payment of the household bills. She then returns part of the money and tells you how she saved you money, while she is using your credit card to make the payments so that you can pay interest on the money she returned.
Tax, borrow and spend.
As mayor she increased the town debt from one million to twenty-one million to create a sports arena and the legislature is looking into improvements to her house done at, possibly, no charge by the company that built the arena.
Palin raised taxes on oil co. profits. investors and oil co. people in London and Houston did NOT like
Palin's move to raise taxes. then Palin provided royalty checks for the public. this should be advertised.
i've brought this up many times. any time obama talks taxation he is criticized. NO one likes taxation.
the meals for soldiers in iraq and afghanistan are NOT free. think about it.
every time mccain sneered at taxing oil companies, obama should have hit back with Palin's record
"You really have to work hard to violate Governor Palin's standards on negative campaigning." Barack Obama at a rally in Florida today, courtesy of Fox News.
Just like when consumers who have said "charge it" way too often, there comes a time when those charges must be repaid. The US has said "charge it" for the last eight years and now someone has to begin paying our bills. At some point we are all going to pay more taxes if we want to get out from under our enormous debt.
Ehh, I see her as a crass backstabbing opportunist.... Probably been one all her life.. And I'm certain there's some 40 something former 10 grade cheerleader somewhere who will confirm my suspicion... Or maybe it will be some former high school senior quarterback.. or maybe it will turn out to be some geeky accountant who was a former brainiac on some 11th grade student council who got shafted out of the council leadership role because of her.. What I'm saying is I suspect this woman has left a wake of victims her her egos path her entire life.. This seeming flip-flop on ideological issues such as socialism verses capitalism is just so much fallout that results of her true nature... Truth is, she probably doesn't give a damn either way about socialism or capitalism as long as she manages to get ahead regardless.... Truth is, guest hosting SNL is probably what really hits her sweet spot...what really gets her juices flowing... Beware this woman... Mucking about fucking with people in Alaska is bad enough... Being one beat away from the Nuke codes??? A person with that kind of personality??? Beyond Martha's not a good thing folks.. Bluntly put? Just waaaay the fuck bad people............JD
I agree with you. She was willing to put up with the humiliation of being on SNL if it would get one more spotlight on her. She doesn't give a damn about a lot of things, John McCain included. She sees this as a stepping stone to something bigger in her own career. Some are saying if McCain loses, she will immediately begin working on running for president in four years. She may be thinking that, but for the life of me I cannot see the republicans backing such a plan.
So if Paiin and the entire Christian Identity ilk have their way and legalize bigotry where will it stop?
I'm a bigot against bigotry, can we legalize my bigotry against bigots?
Ther yu go agin yu elete midea tipes, yusing logic and stuff....
You betcha!
Of course it's scocialism we've been practicing a certain amount of scosialism since this country was founded. The words FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE invoke scocialism to a certain degree. Taxes are a form of scocialism everybody pitches in and it creates jobs for infrastructure repair and other forms of scocial services. Alaska is the biggest scocialist state in the Union YOU BETCHA! They re-distribute wealth to the people.
Why isn't Obama using this to fight fire with fire.
McCain and Palin campaign are flying false flags. The MSM should call them out for violating the Patriot act. They are insighting hate and violence against american citizens. The republicans have NO shame.
They will to tap in restrooms, while screaming against it at the podium. And then cry and wine about how the media is always picking on them. Steal from the poor to bailout the rich. Talk you into fighting a bullshit war to make rich folks richer at the expense of American blood. Facist war mongers KKK snakes are rearing their ugly heads. Wanting everyone to get ugly right along with them.
i have a real problem with Palin NOT being routinely questioned by the media. the mccain campaign
(scheuneman and davis) are shielding Palin from the media. it only makes logical sense that curious
people would want to ask her questions regarding her past and future. to me they know much would
be revealed about the Palin's. there may be some interesting information in sarah Palin's medical records.
let us ask Palin about the following: witch doctor,wasilla sports facility,oil co. taxation,alaska independent
party, your income tax returns,your personal medical records(depression?) and other issues.
The media should refuse to report anything she says at her campaign stops until they're given access.
NO she is not....socialists have decency and
care about community and working poor.
sara palin does NOT.
so stop using "socialist" as if its a
curse word.
McCain's Plan for America as stated on his own commercial.
I'll fix the economy (that's it?) You Betcha!
Your savings... we'll rebuild it (that's it?) You Betcha!
WOW! what a plan my freinds. Man that guy is BRILLIANT!!
psssssst...And don't forget, Obama...he's not white...pass it on
...is a crock of shit. Hell, they're worse than OPEC...or at the very least the same. I've read that for every gallon of gas consumed along the west-coast of the US - where much of the crude from Alaska is refined and sold - 60-70% of the cost of that gas goes to Alaska. Now I'm not saying that Alaska isn't entitled to it, but what about the oil that is pumped from Federally-owned properties? And who's going to get the proceeds from the drilling off the coasts?
Wouldn't it accurate to refer to her as "Sarah Prevaricator"?
I usually just call her a skank.
Two words for Ms Palin. Social Security
And her running mate is on it.
I think it is communism. You can make a little money on government work, Teddy bear knows, can get some leather chairs for rent forever. Sarah got her some appointments that benefitted the politburo in Alaska, but we don't know yet if she skimmed some off the top.
Giving the cush jobs to family, having the husband run the government whilst she worked over the Zamboni rep, got rid of the general in the purge because he wouldn't fire the guy that knew the gal that knew the dirt.....
communism it is. She may have read about old uncle joe and doesn't even realize she emulates him so.
Where is her Christian charity towards her opponent and mankind in general? And how blind, deaf and dumb do you have to be NOT to see her for what she really is? A Fruitcake
Palin is not only unethical but vindictive.
Unethical and unacceptable. Impeach baby, impeach!
As a "fruitcake", I object. :-)
Up next my friends the Rev Wright. They have thrown everything at Obama this will be the next thing. Thanks Hillary.
Why do you suppose it is that women are held responsible for what men do?
I think Southern is just pointing out, Hillary dredegd up a lot of stuff, not because she is a woman, she just did. However, if she didn't the GOP would have. Better it was brought up months ago.
This whole argument that, Yeah, the bailout is socialism or something like it, only it was 'necessary' to insure the health of our nation's economy... god, it's fucking ridiculous.
Why can't one single, solitary reporter ask the logical follow-up to that response, which is "So, you would say ensuring the health of multi-billion dollar corporations is more important morally than insuring the health of people in this country who can't afford health care and would benefit from expanded or universal healthcare?"
"Joe the plumber and Ed the dairy man"
WTF????? Who is Ed the dairy man, and why is this happening? The stupid GOP base will gobble up anything. I assert, they don't understand "socialism", it's just a dirty word, like librul or ... well you know.
Socialism--the new Abortion word for republicans.
they found their new scary word.
after 8 years of the US falling behind in every category
-education
-healthcare
-science
-infrastructure.
the republicans have found a new word to destroy the US more.
oh boy 4 more years of arguing about socialism
and doing nothing to improve the US.
"...Joe the plumber and Ed the dairy man..."
This is madness! If I hear Joe or Ed or Vince or Shane or Opie or Anthony the (insert occupation here) said on the news or on the campaign trail one more time, I'm gonna plug my ears until after election day!
Its a video about Sarah Palin, its called "Anyone can be VP"
Damn, why doesn't she just tell an outright lie? Lets see, if I remember correctly, Obama answered this line of attack before. He said if you pay taxes you will get a tax cut, if you don't pay taxes you will get nothing.
McCain/Palin - HATE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN
You betcha she's a commie. And true Alaskans don't pal around with commies.
Isn't this old news? I thought everyone knew he was a Socialist. That's nothing compared to his links to Odinga & Khalid al-Mansour.
Proof of Obama's membership in the New Party was discovered by the Politically Drunk On Power blog:
In June sources released information that during his campaign for the State Senate in Illinois, Barack Obama was endorsed by an organization known as the Chicago "New Party". The 'New Party' was a political party established by the Democratic Socialists of America (the DSA) to push forth the socialist principles of the DSA by focusing on winnable elections at a local level and spreading the Socialist movement upwards. The admittedly Socialist Organization experienced a moderate rise in numbers between 1995 and 1999. By 1999, however, the Socialist 'New Party' was essentially defunct after losing a supreme court challenge that ruled the organizations "fusion" reform platform as unconstitutional.
After allegations surfaced in early summer over the 'New Party's' endorsement of Obama, the Obama campaign along with the remnants of the New Party and Democratic Socialists of America claimed that Obama was never a member of either organization. The DSA and 'New Party' then systematically attempted to cover up any ties between Obama and the Socialist Organizations. However, it now appears that Barack Obama was indeed a certified and acknowledged member of the DSA's New Party.
On Tuesday, I discovered a web page that had been scrubbed from the New Party's website. The web page which was published in October 1996, was an internet newsletter update on that years congressional races. Although the web page was deleted from the New Party's website, the non-profit Internet Archive Organization had archived the page.
You can find the above quote from the scubbed New Party web page at this Internet Archive Organization link. More confirmation of Obama's membership in the New Party can be found at an article in the November 1996 Progressive Populist magazine:
New Party members and supported candidates won 16 of 23 races, including an at-large race for the Little Rock, Ark., City Council, a seat on the county board for Little Rock and the school board for Prince George's County, Md. Chicago is sending the first New Party member to Congress, as Danny Davis, who ran as a Democrat, won an overwhelming 85% victory. New Party member Barack Obama was uncontested for a State Senate seat from Chicago.
The Democratic Socialist Party of America also reported on Obama's New Party membership in its July/August 1996 edition:
that should outrage everyone
but repugs find that amusing
palin wont be amused when those starving people storm the basitille and chop off her head
and with this bitch taking our gas tax dollars and doling them out to alaskans so that she can have a postivive aproval rating
i say we all storm alaska and get our fucking money back
Note: Sarah Palin is the governor of a state that practices collective ownership of oil and other natural resources, and equally distributes the state's cut of the revenues to every citizen.
.
. She did do exactly that. I'm glad you guys caught this one.
I was thinking about this for the last two days.
Are we the only ones who see the hypocrisy here?
But then again, we're dealing with wingnuttia.iokiyar.
Some of the people who listen to her surely must notice the discrepancy.
crickets
So, if it's not negative campaigning to call one's opponent out on their "plans, previous work and their associations" then I guess that means Sarah and all her corruption and her associations are fair game.
God, just listening to her makes my head throb. What a bunch of boobs at her speeches. Do you think they hold up cue cards for the audience to boo and hiss at the approprate times? She sounds like a 3rd grade teacher.
Heaven forbid we use tax dollars to HELP Americans instead of fighting fucking wars. Republicans have to be some of the most selfish narrow-minded people on the planet. I wish I hadn't listened to this disgusting clip.
I am so afraid for my country if McCain wins. Thank God I am old, because I believe they will truly ruin this country. I pray the liars will lose and Obama will get in and get to the bottom of every rotten illegal thing the republican party has done for the past 30 plus years.
she is a lying slut ****. The Republican's have been the shill of the plutocrats for all to many years... sucking in American's who do wish for a better world... but are too stupid to understand that they only do what is opposite of being for America or American's.
The Republican Party makes me want to throw up. They and their supporters are absolutely pathetic, hateful people. I'm a moderate independent and I have never voted straight along either party line. This election, for the first time in the 22 years I have been voting I will vote straight Democratic, because I have absolutely had it with the Republican party.
And btw, let me just add this. If McCain & Palin win I'm moving to Canada.
There is too much in her speech to be able to comment on succinctly. Palin's speech was full of bizarre and skewed twists of ideas and presenting them as fact when in fact they are lies, misperceptions, distortions and of nonsensical logic. The people of Colorado Springs lap it all up with a ferocity that demonstrates their complete idiocy and subservience to the basest of the core base of the republican party. When Palin and McCain sneer at the idea of any kind of "redistribution of wealth", equating a tax break for most Americans with welfare, or class warfare or socialism, or whatever, and the dullards of Colorado Springs boo and hiss and act like well heeled monkeys, they are betraying the fact that apparently they are not able to think through anything intelligently and they shoot themselves in the foot. Even after they receive true tax relief as middle class Americans during an Obama administration, you can bet they will accept the "welfare" handout. They won't be thinking of it as socialism then. And, they won't be thankful for the relief or that they will be benefiting from such an open "redistribution" of wealth that they were so antagonist to because of their blind allegiance to a politics that is twisted, perverted, self-defeating, self-degrading, self-flagellating and self-destructive. Colorado Springs must be one fucking sick town to have so many fucking dullard simpletons in it cheering on all the wrong things, being morons in their contempt for anything progressive, fair and just. May they fucking rot in the hell of their own making.
