I don't think there's any way to deny it - to vote for McCain/Palin really WOULD be voting for another four years.

Sarah Palin doesn't even realize that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are NOT government programs - at least, they weren't until the government decided to bail them out. This is just another part of the Bush-Can't-Say-Anything-Without-Putting-His-Foot-In-His-Mouth administration.
Sarah Palin's team of advisors is stacked with Bush cronies.
McCain can ease up on his "hard" Republican stance now that he has bulldog Palin on his ticket. She'll get the fundamentalist crazies foaming at the same time as appealing to the "average" American with her false rhetoric about being a small town mayor. Doesn't this remind you of a friendly Texan Governor and his bulldog Cheney?
Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies and more Lies. How does this make them any different from the Bush administration? Guess what - It doesn't. It IS the Bush Administration.
BS Politics. Oh the hipocrisy drives me wild. Perhaps McCain/Palin are trying to disgust Americans so much with their political machinations that they won't bother to vote at all? If Americans believed the filthy smears of the Republican party, I might get depressed and withdraw too.
Defining "patriotic" as someone who would rather undermine the freedoms this country represents, including the freedom of speech to disagree with how things are going. How about being read my rights? Unbelievable that we could even THINK about allowing someone like this into the highest office of the country.
In Bed with Big Oil? Literally.
Lewis, a prescient novelist, once wrote that fascism won't come to America wearing jackboots as in Nazi Germany, but acting like a good ole boy.

Seriously, do I need to go any further? McCain/Palin represent the same old way of putting corporations over populations.

You want to say that social views don't matter? An administration's social programs and beliefs directly impact their fiscal beliefs. Those out there saying, "Well, I prefer Republican fiscal views" need to take another look at their fiscal views. Our debt has gone up astronomically, we are paying for a war that should never have happened, and social security is in danger.

You want to say that the Vice President doesn't do anything really? Hmm, perhaps you should talk to Cheney, who has managed to twist many deals in the White House offices.

You want to cite experience? Perhaps we should contemplate the experience of some of our founding fathers, or perhaps of myriad presidents before now? Or Senators, or leaders of any movement? Do you think that a preacher would be a good civil rights movement leader? Perhaps we should consider the person, and not the background, the skin color, or gender. Perhaps we should consider their ideas, the people they surround themselves with, and their ability to take on the burden of leading this country. Perhaps we should consider how they reach out to us instead of how they ask us to reach out to them. Perhaps we should look at what a person stands for, instead of stands ON.

Perhaps we should remember what Margaret Mead said:

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. (originally posted at Exponential)
