Sarah Palin:
A Trojan Moose Concealing Four
More Years of George Bush




Did Sarah Palin wrongfully push to have her ex-brother-in law fired? Was she really against the "Bridge to Nowhere?" Did she really sell Alaska's plane on eBay, or just list it on eBay? Did she actually have any substantial duties commanding the Alaska National Guard?

The correct answer to all these questions is: who cares? Which isn't to say these aren't valid questions, or that Palin and the McCain camp aren't playing it fast, loose, and coy with each of them. The point is that Palin, and the circus she's brought to town, are simply a bountiful collection of small lies deliberately designed to distract the country from one big truth: the havoc that George Bush and the Republican Party have wrought, and that John McCain is committed to continuing.

Every second of this campaign not spent talking about the Republican Party's record, and John McCain's role in that record,
is a victory for John McCain.



Her critics like to say that Palin hasn't accomplished anything. I disagree:

In the space of ten days she's succeeded in distracting the entire country from the horrific Bush record--and McCain's complicity in it.

My friends, that's accomplishment we can believe in.

6. Less perjorative is the term, "Chronic Wasting Disease." Mooseburgers can rot even a GOPER brain.

5. Yes, our main message has to be that the Republicans have done a bad job...
...in the White House and "Eight is enough" as Obama said at the Democratic convention.

8. Thanks, I hadn't heard that one....
...but I just found it at NPR:

---------------------------------------------------
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94394599


(Hillary) Clinton talked about the economy and the need for a new energy plan and health care reform and her wish to bring troops home from Iraq. These were all topics, she said, that she did not hear from speakers at the Republican National Convention.

"The Republicans are trying to convince us to give them four more years to clean up the mess they made," she said. "Choosing a Republican to clean up this mess is like asking an iceberg to save the Titanic. It is not going to work."
