Is it me, or did that Bush speech blaming the nations ills on "angry liberals" seem way too Orwellian to be a coincidence (Big brother on a 80 ft screen- war is peace ...lockstep zombies). AGHH!
As for Palin, well here is the game plan folks...the same nonsense that they trot out every election- the invented culture war. The "angry tax and spend left" wants you to take your guns away, make you gay, and have abortions in your house of worship.
It works every time. But here is reality-
in the last 60 years who had the better fiscal record? Hint- not the GOP.
Economic growth is markedly improved under democratic administrations.
You see, tax and spend is a great slogan but where is the evidence? More than 60 years ago.
The only balanced budget in 60 years was submitted by a Democrat- Bill Clinton.
Reagan doubled the national debt, spending as much as all presidents before him combined. Where would this money come from if not taxes? Look at the incalculable historically large deficit spending Bush charged to you? Where will that come from if not taxes? And what was it spent on? Something to keep Americans healthy? Something to improve our infrastructure, our education? No, it is wasted in a mad scheme to prop up a puppet walmartocracy in the middle east, and since this will not be happening, the money is simply wasted.
Not all that many democrats are big on gun control, but those who are usually represent people who live in cities where violent crime is a problem. The idea that Philadelphia might want to place a restriction on guns within it's city limits (remember Wyatt Earp did this in Kansas City as the Marshall and he wasn't a "pinko gay liberal" right? in fact he ran for sheriff as a republican ironically) poses no threat to sportsmen. (there are no moose in Phila.)
This is a BS issue. Democrats value the 2nd amendment.

Gays? Well folks our founding fathers were awfully smart and they proclaimed that all men were created equal and had the inalienable right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Nowhere did they say "except gays". This is a simple human rights issue, you can still dislike anyone you choose and nothing changes in your life if gays are given the same basic civil liberties you enjoy. How are you possibly harmed by this?

God, well believe it or not God has nothing to do with politics people. The idea that a supreme being needs political spokesmen to function, or condones killing , torture, or favors rich powerful people is absurd at best. There are just as many religious people on both sides of the aisle. And incidentally Karl Rove, who manipulated the "religious right" into voting for Bush
is an atheist himself.
