Sarah''s Popularity is Down

"When John McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running mate late last month, the Alaska governor quickly became a media phenomenon....But then a funny thing happened: Palin lost some of her luster. Since Sept. 13, Palin''s unfavorables have climbed from 30 percent to 36 percent. Meanwhile, her favorables have slipped from 52 percent to 48 percent. That''s a three-day net swing of -10 points, and it leaves her in the Sept. 15 Diageo/Hotline tracking poll with the smallest favorability split (+10) of any of the Final Four. Over the course of a single weekend, in other words, Palin went from being the most popular White House hopeful to the least." Newsweek

Folks,

Sarah said exactly what all Republican candidates say every 4 years. In fact, it was the same recycled/repeated speeches from the Republican President Bush 8 years ago and 4 years ago where Bush has yet to deliver even with a Majority Republican Congress from 2000 to 2006.

Government is still big and Taxes are still high according to NeoCons. Then WHEN IN THE HELL are the Republicans going to deliver on their promises? When is "government going to be cut to the bare bone" like president Ronald Reagan said he accomplished in his State of the Union speech of 1982? We now know better Reagan did absolutely nothing just like Bush.

Folks,
China signed a Deal with Iraq 2 weeks ago. China will rebuilt the Oil Infrastructure of Iraq. Eventually, China will get all the potential oil outputs.

On the subject of Raising Taxes:

The Clinton''s Massive Tax Increase of 1993 delivered Massive Budget Surpluses in 1998, 1999 and 2000.

The Bush''s Massive Tax Cuts of 2001 and 2003 is delivering a $500 Plus Billion budget deficit this year and this is not counting the Iraq and Afghanistan war cost.

No problems, let''s continue this massive borrowing from China and Saudi Arabia just to keep this BANKRUPTED GOVERNMENT afloat.

According to all Political Consultants from the Left and Right, the Vice President nominee never matters on election night.

If it did matter, 1st Bush Senior would have lost the election in 1988 with Dan Quayle.

So, Good-Bye Sarah Palin forever.

"Sarah Palin is a curse on America! She caused the death of dozens of Americans and flooded large areas and caused catastrophes throughout with the Hurricanes that hit Texas since she was picked by McLame." Posted by trishab58
