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.

    Sarah Palin is a Phoney-And a Dangerous One at That

    For anyone who wants to know about the REAL Sarah Palin, visit www.shannynmoore.wordpress.com It's from Alaska and it completely belies the image her campaign has been trying to spin-and contains a lot of info you NEVER hear down here. FYI,as one of her first acts as mayor of Wasilla, she spent $50,000 of public money to redecorate the mayor's office. When told it was illegal to do this without council aproval her answer was "I'm the mayor and I do what I want until the courts tell me I can't." Pretty shabby for someone who ran on a platform of fiscal responsiblity. Then she decided that to save money that rape victims would have to pay for their own rape kits-about $1000 each ("Life Begins at Rape-Ask Sarah Palin"). If this doesn't outrage you it should. There's more (read about her leaving Wasilla $22 million in debt)but Shannyn Moore says it best. Read for yourself. It's worth reading-and it isn't pretty. Palin is unethical, untruthful and uneducated-but she IS ambitious-and that makes her dangerous.

    AND I'm sick of the lies about "socialism" and "taking away our freedoms". The last eight years have seen the worst threat to our freedoms since McCarthyism-and Palin's past history make it clear that SHE has no respect for individual freedoms.

    jazztao: Hundreds of articles HAVE been published on these subjects(try Huffington Post for starters)just as there are hundreds of articles of inflammatory rhetoric from the dissenting side. Do your homework.
