Dem Talking Points -- Please counter the BS! [View All]

The Repukes are organized, as we can see from their infiltration here.

when we blog, leve comments, etc, we need to have soundbite messages to get across as well.

For all of the "branding" of Repukes as fiscally responsible, and the comparisons between Obama and Palin as both being equally inexperienced, we have done a poor job getting the truth out there. Here is a list of short talking points we can cut and paste and leave as comments everywhere. Please feel free to add to the list and I'll update it as needed:

Palin is to be compared to Joe Biden, since they are running for the same job.

Palin has not studied the constitution. She also has no experience in the senate and has the least experience of any VP candidate in the past 100 years according to presidential scholars.

Worried about taxes? Obama has also served 8 years in the State Senate and 4 in US Senate, where he represents the 5th most populous state in the Nation. In the Illinois State Senate, he worked with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state.

Tax and spend Republican Palin is being sold as a tax cutter, but actually, she left Wasilla with a larger tax debt AND she spent like mad on pet projects.

Palin experience adds up to an extensive pattern of administrative misconduct and political grandstanding.

Palin has a lengthy record of opposing law enforcement officials in Alaska and siding with special interests ahead of public safety.

Palin supported legislation to allow guns in schools, banks and bars. Yes, bars. She did this to appease her NRA extremists friends.

Palin broached the subject of banning books at the Wasilla Library.

Palin has a reputation of political vengeance and retribution.

Even Palin’s own mother-in-law, Faye Palin, said that she doesn’t agree with Sarah on anything and that the only reason McCain selected her is because she’s a woman. Her mother in law has said she will vote for Obama. So much for family values.

"...she’s certainly not one to change her ways.” Gee, McCain didn't need to add another stubborn, self-righteous and blinded by ambitious person to his ticket. These two are scary together. Are they planning on running America the way she ran Wasilla and Alaska? Like a dictatorship where you do things her way or you lose your job? That's the kind of partisanship politics that this country DOES NOT need right now.

Palin can't debate national crisis issues at all. But the one topic Palin can debate one side up and down the other, is Alaska oil and gas. Watch for the debates to all turn to this single issue instead of foreign policy and ask yourself, are we safe with this woman in charge?

Why won't she discuss foreign policy?

Palin was for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it.

They've branded her as against pork belly spending. However in 2007 her state received the highest per capita amount of federal funding, £253.16 ($506.34), according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, a watchdog group which tracks "earmark" spending.

She also supported multi-billion-dollar tax increase on Alaska's oil industry, and approved a £250 million state subsidy to a Canadian company wanting to build a natural gas pipeline through Alaska.

According to a news report, PALIN CALLED FORMER ALASKA COMMISSIONER MONEGAN 24 TIMES to try and get her brother in law fired. Monegan told her she should remove herself from the investigation. Soon after, he was fired.

Alaska experienced an oil boom shortly after she was sworn in (just see when the price per a barrel of oil shot up), and to credit her is ludicrous.
