Palin, the governor of Alaska, galvanized the convention with a speech Wednesday night.

Palin left town $22 million in debt
Palin took over a city with no debt and left with the town $22 million dollars in debt. She raised sales taxes and built, not a much needed sewage system, but a sports complex! She is a borrow and spend Republican like George Bush.

Taxes are why most of said companies (employers) moved manufacturing overseas. Tax them (employers) even more and they will eventually do as the once mighty US shipping companies did which was to reflag in another country. I know you will now bring up that they moved to avoid paying a fair wage plus benefits to employees so take a look at INTEL's wage scale at all the plants it moved to Israel. You will see it was the promised contactual tax rates that caused the move as stated by Intel's CEO on 60 minutes.
Also if any of you own any stocks or mutual funds that invest in the companies you wish to tax then be careful what you wish for! I also will give you 1,000 to 1 odds you never look for a USA manufactured alternative to the housefull of foreign products you have, do you hypocrite!
McCain Palin had some bad Sunday Press
The McCain Palin ticket along with their surrogates had a very tough day in the mainstream press. I was a little worried immediately following the GOP convention, but I am much less worried now. If the polls are showing only a 2 point jump for McPalin after their big party, and the addition of their Golden Child, then conservatives better be very concerned about their chances in Nov.
REpugs must think the american people are stupid. I mean, do we need 8 MORE years of failed trickle-down economics? Lol. You guys are funny. The economy issue is so simple. Companies who outsource their businesses overseas will have the crap taxed out of them, to take away the extra profits that they would have earned by that action. Companies who keep their companies inside the us will receive tax CUTS. Now, I know that you republicans are thick headed, but see if you can follow the logic here:
American Companies th

I am not being funny. I simply do not understand what you are asking me. I simply responded to your post and said she was more experienced than Obama. This is a fact. Did I miss something ?
"time honored values"
"Get a grip unless you want to lose our great nation to something other than established, time-honored, American values. Our nation is already leaning left towards the cliff of utter despair, so vote to bring it back upright and wholesome once more."
Get a grip?
If Obama is about to fall off that left facing cliff, then what the heck do you think George Bush has been doing for the past 8 years, picking daisie? How in heavens name can we afford 8 more years of Bush deficit, Bush's politics and Bush's war of lies? The answer is, we can't. Time honored values, excuse me, but you can't be serious.
"Socialist Sea brewing with Marxist undercurrents"
I hear too that Obama practices witchcraft.
"Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble"
Racquet is Delusional From Too Much McKool-Aid
How long have you followed presidential politics, Racquet? I've been paying attention since 1964, and I can tell you that there is NOTHING new about your fear tactic. You are just trying to make people afraid to vote for a Democrat by calling him a socialist. When your side has NO plans, I guess that you have nothing left, but to try to scare people away from someone who does have ideas.
Palin's gunna need caller ID for that 3am phone call
Palin's being shipped back to Alaska so that she can study up on what foreign policy opinions she might like to have, learn the official McCain lines on Iraq, and deal harshly with any remaining small town librarians that might stand in her way.
A senior McCain campaign official advises that, despite the requests from the media, Palin won't submit to a formal interview anytime soon. Until she's ready -- and until she's comfortable -- which might not be for a long while -- the media will have to wait.
PIED PIPER
Have mercy, do some of you believe everything Obama says?
Here's an analogy: Pied Piper playing a tune of dissimulation, leading a host of starry-eyed, misinformed, and misguided rats to their doom, jumping off the American cliff into the Socialist Sea brewing with Marxist undercurrents. Oh yeah, and the Pied Piper will sit down with terrorist organizations without any preconditions. Are you willing to settle for any of this, as an American? What can you ultimately lose? Your freedom, for one, because you'll have much less of it in a socialist regime.
Get a grip unless you want to lose our great nation to something other than established, time-honored, American values. Our nation is already leaning left towards the cliff of utter despair, so vote to bring it back upright and wholesome once more.
McCain/Palin 2008!
"obama terrorist"?
You want people to search Obama Terrorist????? Have mercy, do some of you actually believe everything you read?
