As Sarah Palin speaks, a new GOP battle cry is sounded

It may be late in the campaign, but a new catch phrase for John McCain and his presidential quest may have been unveiled today in Leesburg, Va.

Sarah Palin, speaking to a characteristically enthusiastic crowd, was reciting her tried-and-true list of criticisms of Barack Obama when she was interrupted by a chant: "Use your brain, vote McCain."

The Republican vice presidential candidate seemed genuinely surprised -- and pleased -- by the slogan.

"You betcha," she responded (using her own catch phrase). "That's good."

I prefer "Go insane, vote McCain"

[Janine]

How about "Stop inhalin', don't vote for Palin!"?

[Cammie]

i like" If you vote for McCain, you don't use your brain," or "You must be insane to vote for McCain" better. You betcha!

Sarah The Parrot learns a new phrase.

The only problem with this battle cry is the obvious. If you have a brain, that is functioning even moderately well, you will conclude that Obama should be your vote. A more fitting "battle cry" would be, " Like more pain, vote McCain".

[rap]

A slogan that could be aptly modified into

"Use your brain, DON'T vote McCain."

MCCAIN, MCCAIN what a shame, he had to pick this brainless dame.

[America]

Well, that makes me want to vote for her. We're missing the point, though. Because starting Nov. 5th Mitt Romney's in charge and he's not going to tolerate rhyming imbeciles who think campaigning is creating a catch phrase as if she were a character on The Simpsons and then proceed to incite racial rioting. She along with every other non-believer should FEAR the Romney era that's about to begin heathens

Obama, if elected, may appoint as many as three Supreme Court justices. The recent Supreme Court vote that verified a citizen's right to keep and bear arms passed by just one vote, 5 - 4. All it would take is one liberal judge to replace one conservative one and the right to bear arms could be taken away. A second point is a report on the news this morning that the Democrats on a House committee fully expect there to be a Democrat House, Senate, and presidency in January. They proposed a plan to have the government take over all the 401K plans, invest them in government bonds and remove the 401K tax break, to help pay for some of the welfare programs they are planning. All small businesses would be required to provide the same level of health care the members of Congress receive or they will be fined. Think how many people will lose their jobs when these small businesses either go bankrupt or have to cut people to meet that expense. Obama also thinks the constituion is a "constraint" that should be worked around. God help us if he is elected.

Sarah Palin is a Marxist
Alaska: America's Socialist State

Sarah Palin's home state of Alaska is the MOST Socialist state in these United States, and she's proud of it!

Alaska has no income or sales tax!
That's because it imposes huge levies on the oil companies that lease its oil fields.
First the state government takes it's hefty cut, then it redistributes the wealth, cutting a four-figure annual check to every man, woman, and child in the state.
Sarah Palin was happy to increase this year’s check by $1200, bringing the per-person total to $3,269, helping her maintain her popularity as Governor.

I wonder how that's not "buying" votes?

Sarah Palin is proud of her states' collective wealth-redistribution scheme.
Sarah Palin said,
“We’re set up, unlike other states in the union,
where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources.
So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.”

Right out of the Karl Marx play book!

George Douglas claims:

"A second point is a report on the news this morning that the Democrats on a House committee fully expect there to be a Democrat House, Senate, and presidency in January. They proposed a plan to have the government take over all the 401K plans, invest them in government bonds and remove the 401K tax break, to help pay for some of the welfare programs they are planning."

You must have smoked the McCain Kool Aid.

Or you watch Faux News WAY too much.

So who is this mysterious "they" and where is that news?

[Tony Sunley]

It is all about Sarah Palin, before the Campaign, during the campaign, and after the campaign.
There is no business like show business, just watch.
The Lecture circuit.the book,and the T.V series, and the Movie.big bucks.
She must be amazed people are buying in to her fairy tale.What was John McCain thinking?????

The GOP can all the new messages they want, but I am a voter that demands accountability. Republicans have held the White House for the last eight years and congress for 6 out of the last eight. Also, Republican ideology has dominated since the early 80's with their free market, deregulation, and trickle down economics. So the Republicans have more than enough time to prove their case. Just like failed basketball and baseball managers/coaches are replaced at the end of losing periods, it is right for the Republican Party to face the same judgment on accountability. I am voting for change and the appeal of new ideas, and the exciting prospect of thousands of new, bright, young people entering into government to help in the process. I am voting for Barack Obama

[Omar Quadri]

Obama will lift those on Main Street
WcCain will give the rich a treat
Democrats must in these elections beat
The Republicans, who will cry and cheat.

How's that for rhyming to win the elections? LOL!

The paragraph containing 401K redistribution to welfare contained about 8 errors ranging from distortions to lies to fantasy. There is everything right about taxing the super wealthy to where they once were taxed in the 90's under Clinton. Nobody is talking about giving anything to welfare although our corporations have been on welfare for years. Far more economists agree with the Democrats than they do the Republicans when it comes to methods of reviving our economy. About guns: don't worry, you'll always have Bambi to shoot at, and 50 thousand Americans will always get to die from guns each year. The NRA has it pretty well locked up. No Democrat or Republican can touch them. Nobody is doing anything to your 401K; however, Bush and McCain want to use your 401K to replace some of Social Security. Let's see: CEOs were rewarding themselves with millions of dollars in bonuses and pay. (These are the people you are afraid of taxing.) Under the Republican plan they'll become even richer if they get their hands on the Social Security pool. And as for the poor: think of life in London at the time of Charles Dickens

You Libs can never get rid of Sarah Palin! She will be around serving the American people, long after Barrack Obama and his myth has been forgotten!
