Too often, it does not. Especially when it's put forth by... politicians (which Palin most assuredly is).
I'm not assuming anything except that she'll do the same thing in DC that she did at home. Do what she (and McCain, and the GOP) thinks is best, and get rid of anything or anyone that will prevent that.

I will certainly laugh if she really does brow beat some of the old fellas on capitol hill right of office!

She got rid of old that was in her way and she carried out the will of the (majority) of the people. She made the GOP and the Oil companies listen to her voice (Alaska's voice). That's ruthless. That's great. That's politics.

The people she got rid of should *not* be politicians by profession, anyway Get out of the kitchen...



I'm just playing the devil's advocate () with all this anyway, I can't vote, and wouldn't vote for this ticket. But, I like to hear what people have to say... and... can you think of a better way to get people to talk?


/rant/ - feel free to skip

I just wish we had someone with common sense, patriotism, AND kohanes that was running! I want a Thomas Jefferson or an FDR, damnit! Not these whiny politicians who do what they're told by their friends. Someone who loves the country (whether it is worthy of love or not!) and puts it first.

Someone who will stop lending money we don't have, and collect the debts other countries owe US! Someone who will REALLY do what the people want!

Give us a new deal! Start building more dams, solar plants, and wind farms with American labor! Drill here! Create jobs on the federal payroll that DON'T INVOLVE BUREAUCRATS! Put higher tariffs on imports and encourage exports! And encourage farmers to grow food and NOT DESTROY IT just to raise the price!

We've recovered from recessions and depressions, and look at how it was done! A "bailout" is not it! New industry and new jobs is how. Look at the Deals for the American people! Read a history book!

ABIDE BY THE CONSTITUTION!

That means getting rid of the income tax, the department of education, and taking away powers that the federal government has stolen from the states! And taking away a LOAD of authority from the Judiciary branch that they DON'T HAVE under the Constitution!

Why is there no one running on THAT platform?? On Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson's platform? The Constitution was meant to LIMIT gov't power and PROTECT the people. Not the other way around like it is now.

Why will no one step up? Maybe I'm just too young and too stupid, but I just want someone who will do the right thing. Is that so much to ask?

Henry was right about one thing. I can now smell that rat, too.

/breathes/ /rant over/

Really sorry about that one... it... slipped...
