The McCain campaign is having to run her governor's office in Alaska because of her alleged abuse of power. Her candidacy is insulting to women. The thought of her being a heartbeat away from the Presidency if McCain were to win is terrifying to millions of us. McCain, the deregulator, is reckless and irresponsible in his decision-making. November 5th can't come too soon when we get to send Pain back to Alaska. I'm certain, after so much of who she is -- and isn't -- has come to light, that she is no longer the most popular governor in the U.S. McCain -- Campaign First, Country Last!!

I don't think she wants to touch Obama on the &amp;quot;real issues.&amp;quot; If you can recall correctly (without lying again), Obama &amp;quot;responded&amp;quot; to the economic crisis by being responsible and letting the current administration handle what needed to be handled. Also, he called for &amp;quot;everyone&amp;quot; to work together because we are in this together. He was directing people to his website to inform them on his economic plan. He stated he needed more information on the &amp;quot;details&amp;quot; of the package that were being offered and didn't rush to come up with a &amp;quot;fly-by-night&amp;quot; plan like McCain did. In other words, he DID blink! Sometimes it's a GOOD thing to &amp;quot;blink.&amp;quot; Just because you &amp;quot;react&amp;quot; first doesn't make you a leader, but the &amp;quot;manner in which you respond&amp;quot; shows wisdom, discernment and responsibility. The McCain/Palin ticket are without those &amp;quot;fundamental&amp;quot; traits. &amp;nbsp;Obama showed himself to be Presidential by having all of the facts &amp;quot;before&amp;quot; he determined what steps needed to be taken. McCain/Palin are fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of people who take action first and think later. Sometimes that can be detremental in certain circumstances; ask GWB about that! Sarah Palin is no more than a talking piece with a pretty face. Maybe she can &amp;quot;demand/command McCain's speech writers to visit &amp;quot;factcheck.com&amp;quot; before she makes her next speech. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Palin hits Obama on economy, energy</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430391.aspx#1430542</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:11:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430542</guid><dc:creator>Linda fromFlorida</dc:creator><description>Uh Ms. Palin...your candidate said the economy is fundamentally strong...of course he has since changed his mind daily to suit what is going on in the country...pleaseeeee shut up.</description></item><item><title>Palin hits Obama on economy, energy</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430391.aspx#1430543</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:12:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430543</guid><dc:creator>Critical Thinker- Reality, USA</dc:creator><description>Being able to spit out a &amp;quot;solution&amp;quot; without insuring that it makes sense does not equate to leadership.

SP makes fun of Obama's prudence in not jumping into the middle of what is the republicans mess with some plan. He and us do not have any control over what King Henry decides to do, he will railroad something through saying it is a catastrophe if we don't do something. Oh and how funny is it that Palin ridicules Obama on his voting present. Didn't the Alaskan legislature walk around last session with &amp;quot;Wheres Sarah&amp;quot; buttons since she was always home in Wasilla instead of down in Juneau taking care of business. She is a tempest in teapot!!! At least Obama was there voting, and oh by the way Sarah if you were a student of politics and state politics in particular you would know that the Illinois legislature has its own peculiarities. Alaska is corrupt and Illinois votes present. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Palin hits Obama on economy, energy</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430391.aspx#1430713</link><pubDate>Mon, 22 Sep 2008 00:02:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430713</guid><dc:creator>Reason1087</dc:creator><description>And there she goes lying yet again. Habitual. Obama took the stance that you want a President to take, which was careful, measured and inclusive across party lines to resolve issues with a well-thought out plan that they could agree upon. McLame, on the other hand in his typical bad temperament, went for the trigger finger approach without thinking. &amp;quot;Fire the SEC, no the FEC... no, well let's lay out a plan that even my party would reject.&amp;quot; He is so lame and she is good at spreading venom. I guess 5 colleges in 5 years to get an undergraduate degree really does make you at best an attack dog. She is not worthy to carry Obama's coat tails, let alone compete with him. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;BTW, I saw the audience and it was hardly tens of thousands. You lying Republicans and those in the media (Chuck!!) who are in your pockets. I remain flabbergasted that you actually drank the kool-aid.
