Palin: “Government Is The Problem, Doggone It!”
(CBS)
(NEW PORT RICHEY, FLA.) - Sarah Palin pressed her argument that Barack Obama would move the country in a dramatically leftward direction.
“Our opponent’s plan is just for more bigger government, and doggone it, government is the problem, not the solution,” Palin said at a rally here.
“So, John and I, we just have the complete opposite approach in all of this, the opposite commitment which is so much better. Instead of taking more of your hard-earned money and then spreading that out according to a politician’s priorities, we’re gonna spread opportunity so you can create new wealth. That’s equal opportunity.”
Palin accused Obama of trying to “exploit the fear and worries” of senior citizens in Florida who are concerned about maintaining their Social Security and Medicare benefits, calling it “the oldest and cheapest kind of politics there is.”
Later in the speech, she warned that Obama did not believe in gun rights, a charge the Democratic nominee has repeatedly denied.
“We believe in the forward movement of freedom, not in the constant expansion of government, and we believe that the virtues of freedom are still worth fighting for,” Palin said. “And though Barack Obama disagrees with some of that freedom, it includes the full rights and liberties under the 2nd Amendment.”

In the final analysis this election has been fought on following emotional presumptions by the both campaigns.
1. Presidential Temperament.
2. Sound presidential Judgment.
3. Meaningful plans, policies, and positions''
4. Understanding and knowledge of workings in & around Washington.
5. Vigor, wisdom and vision" for the future of our beloved Great-grand Nation.
6. American Values, Virtues, Vastness, and Strong soul.
7. Fear & hope & future & past.
9. Culture unite and Culture Divide.
10.Tactics of tearing people down & showing past scars and Inspiring people up and fearing people away.
11. Restoring Global standing and threatening global dominance.
12. Building nation up all around and Scaring people away from the tickets.
As a Independent registered voter I have decided to vote for the Obama-Biden ticket. I am sure they will protect our national security, strengths, stamina and soul as well as rebuild our nation from the bottom up in all areas of need. The OBAMA-BIDEN ticket will restore our global standing with the use of maximum, firm international diplomacy and minimal force if and when necessary.
Yours sincerely,

We don''t need your credentials to cast our vote. Bill Ayers has credentials. Bin Ladin has them too. Please refrain from trying to influence this election. We have our own brains, thank you.
You forgot to add that your message was paid for by the Obama camp. They paid big bucks to brainwash and lie to the nation.
You have nothing more precious than your personal liberty. Life can be scary and it is easy to look to a person who says they can CHANGE EVERYTHING. Hitler did this to a country that was hurting, because he was a clever guy and a good speaker. Obama has not shown anybody anything but has a long trail of question marks. We are at a critical moment in history. We need stability more than radical change. Reform yes, change our system to please those who would benefit? No. Obams is really George Bush of the Left. He wants to grab power, but Obama wants to use your money. I never saw anything trickle up and we did well under Reagan economically (not other ways necesarily) so for those concerned with economic issues I say: How do you build from the bottom up if the bottom is empty? When Obama, allegedly, takes all this money from corporations,they will only leave or put the cost back to you. It''s common sense but the elitist Liberals on the Left have tried negate your own common sense. That is why they have CRUCIFIED JOE THE PLUMBER AND SARAH PALIN. They will continue to wage war on white Christian and persecute them to replace your religion with their own intellectualism? and multi=culturalism. Soon it will be illegal to say your a Christian that believes in American values, or it will be dangerous. Look at the news, its happening already.
And I don''t think our Constitution calls for a "re-distribution of wealth" nor the suppression of opposing voices by intimidation and censorship.
If we want to see a "New America" founded in far left liberal philosophies and beliefs then Obama is the One for a more socialist America, which is not what I believe our troops, over time, have fought and died for.
The entire platform is one of a nationalist party and is not the Republican party of old. Nationalist parties around the world support the wealthy elite, right-wing religions, and neoconservative foreign policy. This is everywhere. The current nationalistic- light-fascism, needs to change and become more moderate. They are not supported by the majority of American citizens and patriots.
I am not brainwashed nor uneducated or uninformed. Quite the opposite. I am a working mother who owns her own small biotech company and Obama''s plans benefit me economically. I support his plans for energy, foreign policy, education, healthcare, immigration, rule of law /constitution. I dont'' support the nationalistic Republican party that McCain is a member and has voted with Bush 90% of the time. He will only cause more ideocy and gridlock in our nation.
She will show them at the last minute so they cannot be checked.
jsutcurious...has obviously never spent time in the military. If so, you wouldn''t be so quick to go to war...your religious pentecostal KKK extremism is no different than bin laden''s message of hate and division.
When did being smart become elitist? So why bother sending kids to college? AS McCain put it...we''re all Joe the Plumbers today. Pretty pathetic when you have to rely on Joe the fake plumber to boost your campaign. Joe now has a publicist and working on a toy contract to merchandist Joe the Plumber action figures for Xmas...
I think the good Col is confused. I think he meant to type USA-R. But, he is also confused with the rest of his story. So, just take it in stride, yawn, and get on with life.
Look, 2010 is going to be a good year. By then the poor of this country will see that OB can''t deliver. NY Times profit has fallen 51% and their stock rating is now "junk." We have a little movement on NOT to buy products by GE..you know the stupid CEO who has about bankrupt GE and who owns NBC/MSNBC ( the ones in the tank with OB). You guys want to suppress the news (rig the election), we can play that silly little game also. LA Times, there are a few folks out there who will want to cancel their subscriptions.
Just keep on playing liberal politics with the news. In case you have not noticed, this country is severely divided and polarized. How about it NBC, MSNBC, going to get balanced? I think not.
LA Times, I don''t want the tape. We are better off with the public visualizing in their minds what really took place. The more talk, the wilder that episode will get..in our minds. Keep the tape.
Meanwhile Senator Obama''s choice of Joe Biden demonstrates strong management, bringing on someone for VP that would be solid if needed as President,who compliments
Obamas weaknesses,even thouh this selection would not bring him 1 more vote that he wasn''t allready going to get.
That,my friends, is "Country First".
I can''t wait till November 5''th,to send Palin a''packin back to Alaska,hopefully never to be heard from again.
1 bill would send you to jail if you killed someone in your house trying to protect your family.
Good grief.
Well, I guess that is why gun sales have dramatically increased in the past 2 weeks. Get ''em while you can boys. Going to go away after Jan 1.
So, OB, who is correct. Palin or your past voting record? Or, is this another change for the Party of Change? Or, does the NRA have an ad which is not true? We need to see your side or spin.
Shoot, dang it, just give me someone I can understand. Sorry she does not meet your standards. She has not met any other left wing standards. This woman has really gotten into their heads. Must be talking good enough for the huge crowds she keeps drawing. Heck, that wink and nod works for me. Now you have me worried. We have to meet the speech criteria as deemed prudent by "all" professional women. You best do a survey..you will have a very large class. Dang it.
If I give you the IL Senate Bills mentioned by the NRA, will you look them up? I''m just quoting the NRA''s current ad. Saying "liar" indicates you know the real truth.
Want the SB''s? Heck, if the NRA is not telling the truth, we need to have at with them.
WHERE are your medical records you PROMISED to release EARLY this week?
LYING LIAR!
News channels should give McCain/Palin ZERO coverage until those medical records are released.
IL Senate Bill 2165
IL Senate Bill 1195
US Senate S397
etc., etc., re endorsements and all.
Now, I not debating whether or not you agree with the NRA. My only point is Palin confronted and Obama denied. Either someone conveniently changed their mind or just don''t want us to know the truth.
Pretty day outside. I''m going to a football game. Have a great back-forth day.
Do we get more that 1 page of medical records from Obama?? Ummm..heavy smoker, etc. We are talking about the Pres.
Tanning beds, etc., what a bunch of junk.
See ya. Have a good day.
This is getting so old, The only reason I am looking for an obama win is Simple the anticipation of NEVER reading or hearing from Sara Pariah again after tuesday
She will cost Mcain the election

Obama offers no real help. He offers help for himself. He is not going to be able to give everyone what they think they are going to get. Not unless he takes away my money and yours. Yes, Obama wants to take my money. I want to choose for myself how I will share my wealth. I don''t want some arrogant, lying, hater to tell me how he is going to spend my money. I don''t feel safe with Obama. I don''t think he can make real tough decisions. I belive his thought patterns are misguided and wrong, just plain old wrong! He offers me no hope of change. Just more government spending.
Real Americans are people who love the Constitution and want to restore habeas corpus.
Could that be? Can I love the Constitution and still be a real American? Palin doesnt think so.
McCain does not support the restoration of the habeas corpus and Obama does.
I love the Constitution and I want to restore habeas corpus, and I am NOT a Democrat and I voted for Barack Hussein Obama.
We dont hate her because she''s right.
We pity her because she is hypnotized into "believing" that dinosaurs and Jesus walked the earth at the same time. See the Kentucky diorama in which this delusion is manifest.
Ideology is not competent to deal with real world problems. Ideology CAUSED the failure of the Fed Bank to control the market. Greenspan admitted that his ideology of laissez faire, and no controls, led to the excesses of greed and loss that ruined our economy.
Ideology is not capable of addressing real world problems with ecology. Ideology failed in Iraq.
Sorry Panama, your supposition that we are just jealous is far from reality.
I would be kicked off this site if I described my actual detailed feelings and thoughts about Palin and her attempt to ban books from the Wasilla library and the spin the GOP has made up about her attempt to fire the librarian.
5 TRILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000,000,000) more national debt.
Government intrusion into every aspect of our lives. Less privacy. More GOVERNMENT POWER over Americans.
Devastating war in Iraq requiring MORE AND MORE GOVERNMENT POWER AND GROWTH.
The only thing they have reduced is REGULATION. Funny that- after all, it BENEFITS THEIR CORPRORATE AND RICH ELITE BACKERS.
So you can expect LESS GOVERNMENT REGULATION of the FAT CATS in a McCain administration. However, that is the ONLY LESS GOVERNMENT you can expect from these LYING THEIVES.
Additionally, while she''s making government smaller and presumably less regulated, we should trust her with Medicare, Social Security, health care too?
She''s spent this whole campaign saying, "Barack stinks, John can fix it." We''ve never heard a plan. She''s never been forced to put together three paragraphs on a single topic.
