If a Wall Street firm make a bad investment, then McCain-Palin want the Wall Street firm bailed out.

But ordinary people shouldn't expect the government to help them out when they have it tough.

=========================================
Sarah Palin in Des Moines, IA, 10/25/08:

See, under a big government, more tax agenda, what you thought was yours would really start belonging to somebody else, to everybody else. If you thought your income, your property, your inventory, your investments were, were yours, no, they would really collectively belong to everybody. Obama, Barack Obama has an ideological commitment to higher taxes.

The lessons, I believe, that we have taught our kids would start to erode, those lessons about work ethic, hard work being rewarded, and productivity being rewarded. And, and lessons about the virtues of freedom and independence while being generous and compassionate with others.

Higher taxes, more government, misusing the power to tax leads to government moving into the role of some believing that government then has to take care of us.

And government kind of moving into the role as the other half of our family, making decisions for us. Now, they do this in other countries where the people are not free. Let us fight for what is right.

John McCain and I, we will put our trust in you.
=======================================

1. Why not eliminate medicare,social security, WIC, vaccines for children
labor laws, environmental laws, workplace safety laws, the FAA, the FDA and Consumer Product Safety Commission, OSHA, the National Highway Safety Administration, EPA. the DOT

Let's just let everyone do everything out of the goodness of their hearts, bless their hearts their reward is in heaven!

I'd tell her it would be like Lord of the Flies, but I'd probably be greeted with a blank stare

13. And the National Weather Service
Edited on Sat Oct-25-08 09:18 PM by tclambert
'cause people can look out the window and tell the weather. We don't need the government telling us when a big hurricane is coming or that we should evacuate someplace like Galveston.

14. And the police
'cause if everybody has guns, they can enforce their own laws. And if a disturbed girl scratches a backwards B on her own face and says a big black guy did it, well, then a civilian posse of armed white men can go "take care of it." And if they want to wear white hoods while taking care of it, well, you know, the government shouldn't force them to.

2. Well it's sure treated her well
This pretty petty Bozo is living phat on huge clothing expense accounts, traveling and the pay she gets as Alaska's Gov. If what we have seen of Palin is any indication her abilities, the good people of Alaska are charitable in giving this high maintenance low performer a nice ride. She should not be re-elected in 2010.

3. So, Sarah (may I call you Sarah?), what you're saying is, you DON'T want government making ...
Edited on Sat Oct-25-08 07:48 PM by DrZeeLit
decisions for us?

This part, right here:

And government kind of moving into the role as the other half of our family, making decisions for us. Now, they do this in other countries where the people are not free. Let us fight for what is right.


So, when you run your make-up artist lips off about PRO LIFE NO ABORTION....you know... that part where you MAKE A WOMAN'S DECISION for her... that part... you mean that's OKAY?

So, again... MAKING WOMEN HAVE BABIES = not government in the role of family, NOT MAKING DECISIONS FOR US

Hmmm... that is SOOOOOOO ... BULLSHIT

Do you ever listen to the crap that spills out of your mouth?

12. Nobody gets taken care of by others more than Sarah Palin.
She charged the government for her childrens' travel and room.

John McCain's contributors pay for her and her entire family's clothes, travel, and expenses.

John McCain's contributors pay for her make-up, hair, clothes, shoes, speech writers and speech trainers.

Wow, that's some kind of hard working, salt of the earth, independent woman....

20. Socialism... woah... scary
I hate socialism. Who needs roads, schools, libraries, hospitals, airports, stadiums, water/sewage/garbage services, assistance programs, the military, etc. That's for socialist commies!

We should all just move to little shacks in Alaska out in the middle of no where so we don't have rely on each other. LMAO!!!

6. Sarah. You will let corporations run our lives, and the rich use us.
Lawless selfish republicans have taken the money we have given to make the government work and funneled it to the very ones who don't need it.It's time to reinstate the common good and promote the general welfare. That means government is the civilized way in which adults improve the lives of all the citizens of this country.

You have no idea what this country is about or what a civilized society is, Sarah.

You have the right to do as you please but if you wish to have a civil society you have to participate.

Your allegiance to the United States must take back seat to Alaska now.What you are proposing is truly un American according to the Preamble of our Constitution. I wonder If you have ever read it.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare , and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

What you are promoting is not good for our country is a corporate republic, and it is heartless.It is NOT an American Democracy.

15. I believe she wrote this one herself.
The snarled syntax, incomplete sentences, and fragmented thoughts all sound like her own composition. Somebody let her off the leash and let her work without a prepared script.

I couldn't listen anymore after that line. I don't hate America. I just understand that there are somethings other countries do better.

17. Foreign policy blunder?
"kinda moving into the role as the other half of our family, making decisions for us.
Now they do this in other counties where the people are not free"

Was that really a stab at health care? and if so was that a big jab to countries such as Canada and all other civilized nations that deliver public tax paid health care? Does Sarah Palin not believe their free because of this? Will she invade these countries to free them from their socialistic dictators?

18. Why get upset at Sarah Palin? She has no idea what she is talking
about. All she is doing is parroting words. She is beyond stupid.

22. at 40 seconds in to her speech, I think someone yells out...
..."He's a n!gger!"

Palin talks overtop of the statement so it's a little garbled.

23. The Problem, Dear Sarah,
Is that hard work is not being rewarded. Productivity is not being rewarded. Those who are doing the hard work and those you are doing the actual production are being spit upon and stomped to the ground while those who count the money and spit and stomp upon those who are working and producing are rewarded.

Or is that what you meant?








Chris

24. What the hell is she doing in Iowa?
Not that I disapprove. The more time they waste in states they have no chance of winning, the better. Go get 'em Sarah! Maybe she should spend the next week stumping in New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut... or maybe it's time to head back to Michigan...

25. When the free market fails, we should look to alternatives like socialized medicine
Edited on Sun Oct-26-08 02:00 AM by Jack Rabbit
There. I said it. I'm for socialized medicine.

The free market has failed in health care, Mrs. Palin. We'll have none of your nonsense about how it is impossible for the free market to fail. Only a cheap ideologue clings to something so obviously and brutally refuted. It failed and failed a long time ago. Too many Americans pay too much for too little and too many Americans have no coverage at all. Since the defeat of President Clinton's initiative in 1993, the problem has gotten worse, not better.

I don't care what happens to private health insurance companies. They make money by collecting premiums and denying claims. That is not an industry that can serve consumers as they need and deserve to be served.
