OBAMA DYNAMIC ! WHAT?? Alaska Embraces His Message!! WHAT??? Obama Message Resonating! WHAT??? Alaska 'USUALLY a red state'... Sounds and looks like what Palin is saying with her enthusiasm is that she'd LOVE to vote with other Alaskans and put Barack Obama in the White House! You can tell a lot from someone when they are excited. Republicans Take the Cake.
I can only imagine that she was about to support Barack Obama before she got that phone call from John McCain - figuring on her part that the resonance would further her career in Alaska. She's a fair weather supporter, just as Joe Lieberman and so many others before them who jump and turn 180 degrees at the sight of an opportunity that is easier to grab than working within their own party.
When someone is corrupted, they are always corrupted. You can see it in their wordings, in how they indirectly and unspecifically answer questions that have need of a detailed answer or are off the path of what they believe.
It goes without saying that where there's smoke, there's fire and this scandal going on in Alaska, with the investigation and all the sordid details starting to emerge about her husband's participation in private meetings of government importance, in being copied in emails that have then been declared protected by executive privilege - it all smacks of dirty politics.
Of course the bottom line here is that it has been learned that John McCain wanted to pick another person for his Vice President - actually he had two other preferences - but instead of being a maverick and taking on his own party, he abandoned principals and decided to bow to his conservative, wholely-religiously zealous right wingers (wingnuts) and left his self-esteem and pride at the door.
What is ironic in this - that no one is talking about - is that he is supposedly praising Sarah Palin for taking on her own party - while at the same time, refusing to do the same himself.
Who is the maverick? It's not McCain - he's a panty-whipped puppet of the ultra conservative idiots who are trying to continue on the big spending, corporate contract big oil money train that IS the White House Republicans.
If you think that the Republicans COULDN'T have taken care of the overspending and other issues during the almost 6-8 years they had control, you're sorely mistaken. Think about that.
They want Washington DC JUST the way they have it now. And the 80 percent approval rating that the delegates at the Republican Convention gave George W. Bush shows you exactly how much McSame they want the next 8 years to be.
Too bad moderate republicans are too scared to try and do anything. Pitiful.
