McCain/Palin have lobbyist working in their campaign as staff from the FANNIE MEA AND FREDDIE MAC.

The LIBRARY of her home state Palin wanted some books removed she didn't agreed. Even FIRED THE LIBRARIAN!

Even the group HEART doesn't want the McCain people to use their song"BARRACUDA", because the group feels that Sarah Palin dosen't represent the views as AMERICAN WOMEN.

McCain is ‘offended” by Obama’s remark “pig with lipstick.” albeit it’s an apt all of MeCain’s claims to be an agent of change. He claims Obama is attacking a helpless woman, Sarah Palin and demands an immediate apology.

Before Obama apologizes, we need to examine Sarah Palin’s economic agenda.

A good place to start is Michael Kinsey’s article “Alaskonomics” available at Time.CNN.

Here are some facts and figures I’d like to share.
1. Sarah Palin was perfectly willing to accept the Bridge to nowhere until it became a political liability. Although she said “No thank you.” she kept the money.

2. Alaska levies a 75% profit sharing tax on every barrel of oil that leaves the state. As a result every Alaskan gets $2,000 a year in subsidies, plus a $ 1,200 subsidy to off-set the high cost of fuel.(An off-set that McCain opposes for the lower 48). All of these benefits are subsidized at the pump by the folks in the lower 48. The higher the price of oil, the more oil revenues for Alaska, so don’t count on oil prices going down any time soon.

3. In addition, Kinsey cites figures from the Tax Foundation. According to this organization Alaska is first in federal spending. Alaskans pay an average of $ 5,434 per resident in federal taxes. They get a return of $13,950 per resident. Not bad math.

4. Palin attacks Obama for earmark requestions. According to a press release by Sarah Kruger (September 8, 2008), in 2007 Obama asked for $311 million dollars in earmarks, that’s about $ 25 for every Illinois resident. He hasn’t asked for any this year. However, this year Palin ask for $ 198 million dollars in earmarks, that amounts to $ 295 per resident. In other words a resident in of Wasillia Alaska gets nearly 12 times the amount of federal earmarks than a resident of Chicago.

With a pay off like this, it no wonder that Palin hates Obama with a passion.

This causes me to wonder what Palin puts first, American or Alaska.

Be rest assured, regardless of his posturing on earmarks, McCain will find a way to fork over billions of dollars to Alaska, enabling the Alaskans to pick up their checks in a brand new Cadillac, or perhaps a gas-guzzling Hummer. (The possibilities of patronage and corruption are rampant.) No wonder Dick Cheney endorses Palin as vice president.

Basically, while putting up a smoke screen, it seems to me that McCain is calling all the hogs to the feeding trough, particularly hogs from Alaska.

So what else can I say.When we are talking about “pigs with lipstick” – maybe the shoe fits.

McCain talks about country first, he didn't think about country when he selected Palin nor when she goes back to Alaska and misuse Sep 11, as a publicity stunt. Several mothers and father has watched their sons and daughters deploy to this Gods forsaken war, but you do not see any TV cameras on them. She is totally using both misfortunate things in our history for proganda and a boost in campaing ratings. How can John McCain just set back and allow his precious Palin direspect the families that lost so much on Sep 11. Is he really putting the country first.

Finally, Palin acused Hiliary of whinnning during the primaries when the word sexism was used stating "criticism come along with the territory", well what is she calling it know, since her party is throwing it around, like it's going out of style?

he-he-haw-haw!!!
