A scary Halloween with Sarah Palin

In central Pennsylvania, the Republican base is afraid of Obama, and lost in fever dreams of a neo-Soviet nightmare. But it's all in God's hands.

    Palin's Double Standards

    What boggles the mind is people not questioning Palins's arguments: Branding Obama a socialist because of an innocent response to Joe the plumber- really people use your brain please! Obama an elitist, give me a break McCain has been running in the elitist crowd all his life. He also married one.(doesn't make him a bad person). Obama not experienced/not ready - what makes her more ready? Obama can't keep Americans safe - what make her think she or McCain can? We don't know who the real Obama is - he's has been in our face for over 2 years. She has been there barely 8 wks? Who is the real Sarah Palin? A while back Campbell Brown of CNN aired a video on Palin and husband's association with Alaska Independent Party but stated that they were told not to air it. It appears strange to me that controversial stories on the web regarding Palin,(letter written by someone who has known her since 92), her son Trig and also a video of McCain's preacher conveniently disappear and are never mentioned by the media. Are they under a gag when it comes to McCain/Palin. Other point to take into consideration: why are negative ads against Obama (the farmer not going to expand his business if Obama wins -ridculous)posted by other sources other than RNC. I'd like to know who is behind them and who is really paying for them. Vote your choice but do it for the right reasons not because of scare tactics.
