Mrs. Palin's resonance amongst voters may have more to do with her actually going against the political grain and doing something about government's big spenders, the bureaucrats and elected politicians. This is something that every politician promises but never delivers. Something that Liberals like Obama do not understand is that we who identify with Mrs. Palin are the voters who pay for all of the largess he is threatening to rain down upon our heads if elected. We resent that. We know that politicians can't solve problems. Their solutions only cause more problems and Obama is a politician. Every grand idea he has has a price tag--more taxes on the workers. When are he and his progressive liberal supporters going to realize that the well does have a bottom, our pockets are only so deep. My trail is coming to an end. I am 65 years old. My children and grandchildren will suffer the consequences. I dread the government price tag that will be left them. Thank you FDR, you motherless son
