Just remember when you hear this that there is no one to whom to lose.

F - "It's not the government's money; it's the people's money"

Or a 2008 equivalent. Remember the last person who made this kind of statement about taxes bankrupted the government and trashed the economy

G - "There is a time for politics and a time for leadership ... a time to campaign and a time to put our country first."

Palin will likely try to cast McCain's non-suspension of his campaign to rush to Washington to participate in the bailout discussions as some sort of altruistic gesture, even though McCain never really suspended his campaign ads, butted into bailout negotiations where he didn't belong, and created more of a problem than a solution.

H - "My family...kids serving in the military...special needs child..."

There are many great and wonderful families out there in this country. That doesn’t qualify anyone for a particular job.

I - "I'm always proud of America, the best times are ahead of us"

Again, this is not a qualification for anything. It will take an ultra bright and skilled person to fix this country's problems and she is not it.

J - "We're Mavericks; he's a war hero, bipartisan but anti-earmarks"

Don't forget that this anti-earmarks person wanted to spend $400 million Federal dollars on the Gravina Island Bridge, also known as the Bridge to nowhere boondoggle. This maverick is embroiled in an abuse of power case in Alaska.

K - "Candidates who use career to promote change vs. use change to promote career"

Aside from the fact that this cutesy phrase doesn't really mean anything, part of the change we need is change from politicians like McCain and Palin who deregulate industries like the Financial industry who use that freedom to rape the country blind.

L - "I'm not a Washington Insider..."

What sarah Palin isn't is 'competent' and no matter what geography she asserts as hers (or NOT hers), that doesn't change.

Additionally, her handlers will make sure she has memorized the names of the leaders of most of the countries she could be asked about and she will try to impress people with this knowledge.
