Sarah Palen has great tax cutting plans which she proved it by giving much of the surplus money of Alaska back to the people. After she put the previous Governor's private jet on Ebay.

Carl Marx taught'em everything they know and then they improved upon it. They have out kids. It's the school system teaching our kids the wrong history. Teaching Socialism is best for America. Carl Marx I believe said ''If you get the children - You've got the nation''.. He's right. These libs are the hands that's rocking the cradles in America. Brainwashed generation of nincumpoops being watered and fertilized from Kindergarten.

Like some of you, CBS News corps tuned in to Sen. Barack Obama's fancy infomercial on Wednesday night. According to reporter Wyatt Andrews, the candidate's big promises didn't add up. Literally. The Illinois senator talked about extending health care to every American ($1.2 trillion over 10 years), rebuilding the military ($7 billion per year), reforming education ($18 billion per year), redirecting energy policy ($15 billion per year), launching a second massive stimulus package ($188 billion over two years), and creating tax cuts for businesses ($85 billion per year). Obama tried to justify the hefty price tag, saying, "I've offered spending cuts above and beyond their cost." By CBS's calculations he is more than $90 billion short. Even if Obama managed to pull troops out of Iraq and slash the federal budget, economists say his spending spree well exceeds what Americans can afford. The Democratic candidate does an impressive job of casting a grandiose vision-but offers no real explanation for how he plans to pay for it.

On Capitol Hill, the Democratic leadership is already offering some clues. If Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) speaks for the majority, taxpayers should be gripping their wallets a little tighter. A few weeks ago, Frank said, "Speaking personally, I think there are a lot of very rich people out there whom we can tax... and recover some of this money." Now, just days later, he and other Democrats say the wealthy won't be the only ones feeling the pain of Obama's plan. "We'll have to raise taxes ultimately," Frank told reporters, frankly.
This from CBS news! Makes me wonder how bad it really will be?

Huckabee's not what he claimed to be either. Can you elaborate.

Palen's proven to be an ***** kicker no matter what political party they called themselves. I agree, but how will that help the American people with a Democratic Congress if nothing passes. The next president and vice are going to have to be good negotiators, especially if they're Republicans.

Palen reignited the base. No one else could have done that. Huckabee would have accomplished the same thing, being that the base are predominately Christian.

Romney would have been much better than Huckabee in my humble opinion. I beg to differ, Huckabee was the only candidate pushing the "Fair Tax" issue and that along with energy would have been the premise the Republicans needed to win the White House.

Yea. When a lib run news network such as that bumps head with [No-Obama] - it is worse than I thought. It's like a delusion has been sent from on high blinding these people to this 'Promise you anything' Messiah.
