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.

    scary for sure

    Why do they think they know McCain? He has lied and flip flopped through it all. When his back is against the wall he pulls out half truths to uses parts of sentences, most recently, Biden's comments about being tested.

    The Red Cross worker who thinks Palin ran the country should read what people in the office said, Todd was the one in control she was the talking Barbie just pull her string. She didn't raise the children, others do and did. The only part that is true is that she's female. So am I and I know I can't run the country any more then she's capable.

    I understand the wardrobe & make up shouldn't be an issue, but a person can't put on a facade and not have it fall down on them. She claims she didn't know. Being uninformed about what's going on around you, when you're in that position, is not acceptable.

    Anyone who sits in "that seat" is going to be tested no matter who they are. No one knows McCain either, but we have seen his anger and contempt that someone should challenge him. He didn't have the gonads to go after Hillary in the same way because he knew she was part of the old guard so to speak. Well, Obama has his guard too as McCain is experiencing. Obama doesn't have to hire people to pretend to be attacked by a Big White Man as McCain did. McCain & Palin have pushed for a new racial divide, note the skin heads who REALLY were going to abuse and murder. What has McCain said about either of those instances? Palin, did she address it? I haven't seen words from either of them. They are the ones behind this, maybe not directly but from their negative campagning.
