First off, I want to say that I am a big Sarah fan and I think that she has pulled McCain's beacon out of the fire. But it is time for a reality ck and I hope constructive criticism.
I listened to Sarah's speech in Col. and Biden's shortly after on Fox. I didn't get to hear ether's entire speech but let me express my opinion on what I heard.
Sarah started out on failures of Lehman etc. and said we need new regulations, blah blah. It would have been more convincing if she would have said that these failures might be attributed to too much Gov. interference in the private sector.
But the real point, and suggestion I wanted to bring out here is Sarah's same old routine of what we have heard ad-nausium for the last couple of weeks. Don't get me wrong, I loved it the first couple of times I heard it. But if we want her to continue to be a breath of fresh air, she really needs to get a new line.
Biden, on the other hand came out with a barrage of new lies that I could see might be very convincing to the average MSN slave.
Please don't flame too hard, believe me I just want to help the conservative cause.
Huh? Her speech was completely different from her standard stump speech, with the exception that she kept the E-bay and bridge-to-nowhere lines.
everything needs to be re-regulated. There is a lot of collusion between govt and companies. If regulations were designed to favor some companies and discourage others then you have a problem.
Corruption is like a big tax. We all complain about all the junk coming out of China. Mexico actually has very low taxes but the effect of corruption is like a 50% tax and that’s why so many try to come here illegally.

Compare US on “Freedom from corruption.” In 2007, Iceland is #1 at 97 and US is #17 at 76. In 2008, New Zealand is #1 and US is #20 at 73.

I know conservatives like to talk about cutting taxes and spending all the time but corruption is also very important and Palin is probably the first national conservative to make the connection to the economy.
