2 Questions for Palin

Two questions I would like Charles Gibson to ask Sarah Palin:

Do you consider gun controls a violation of Second Amendment protection, Likewise, do you consider banning of books from local libraries a violation of First amendment protection.

Many times people on the left are accused of having moral relativism, but conservatives claim moral absolutes. In that context, should people who oppose gambling or voted against lotteries in their states in turn apply for or accept college scholarships funded by lotteries

Original article: George Bush with big hair

George W. with Lipstick

The Democrats need to attack Palin by appealing to potential voters whether the stirrings they have about Palin being a regular gal , somebody to have beer with, etc. remind them of similar feelings they may have harbored at one time about George W. Bush. And would they take a chance by repeating the mistake.

Yes, he seemed a common sense guy with folksy ways. Didn’t know much about his views. Voters gave him benefit of the doubt. Appeared reassuring. Not threatening. Appeared to have shared values. Yes, Sarah Palin is George W. Bush with Lipstick.

This line of attack is free from charges and distractions of sexism. And it ties the more popular half of Republican ticket to George W. Bush. I call that a win-win.

Original article: John McCain's cowardice

George W. with Lipstick

The Democrats need to attack Palin by appealing to potential voters. Perhaps the stirrings they have about Palin being a regular gal , somebody to have beer with, etc. remind them of similar feelings they may have once harbored about George W. Bush. And would they take a chance by repeating that mistake.

Bush seemed a common sense guy with folksy ways. People didn’t know much about his views. Voters gave him benefit of the doubt. Appeared reassuring. Not threatening. Appeared to have shared values. Yes, Sarah Palin is George W. Bush with Lipstick.

This line of attack is free from charges and distractions of sexism, or facts. It is about intangibles of feelings, something Republicans employ in their commercials. And it ties the more popular half of Republican ticket to George W. Bush.
