I can't say that I'm surprised. Republicans are too nice. Just when they should be riding the enemy to death, they pull up short, and with a gesture of good will, they let the enemy go unharmed and unpunished. Turn the tables and Republicans get slaughtered. My bet is that Fred is man enough to take a beating for his folly. Go ahead and take his ten dollars, blast it!
Did you all hear Palin's Sept. 25 interview with Katie Couric. Its on you tube and I've quoted it below. Is she competent to be VP?
Question: Why isn't it better, Gov. Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle class families who are struggling with health care, housing, gas, and groceries, [to] allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?
Answer: "That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, we're ill about this position that we have been put in. Where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Um, helping, oh, it's got to be about job creation, too. Shoring up our economy, and getting it back on the right track. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans, and trade -- we have got to see trade as opportunity, not as, uh, competitive, um, scary thing, but one in five jobs created in the trade sector today. We've got to look at that as more opportunity. All of those things under the umbrella of job creation."
Maybe the average Drones point of view differs from mine, but I don't see the momentum on McCain's side. Like I said on the day before McCain picked Palin, he ought to pick Eric Cantor or John Engler as his VP. Given the past few weeks of interviews, I generally think that I've been proven right.
