McCain-Palin Destroys Obama-Biden Ticket

http://americasnewstoday.com/stories/BRiT-09082008-MCCAiNPALiN.html

Governor Sarah Palin went after Barack Obama today for requesting earmarks while she touted her own budget cutting record at a rally in Lee's Summit, Mo.

In front of several thousand inside the John Knox Pavilion — Palin said she cut excess spending in Alaska, "I came to office promising to control spending by request if possible, but by veto if necessary. Today our state budget is in control we have a surplus. We put a veto pen to nearly half a billion dollars in wasteful spending."

She then went after Barack Obama for accepting earmarks for Illinois, "In just three years our opponent has requested nearly 1 billion dollars in earmarks. That is about a million dollars for every working day," Palin said. "So we reformed the bases of earmarks in our state and I'm ready to help President John McCain end these corrupt practices once and for all."

The crowds greeted her chanting "Sarah, Sarah, Sarah" and interrupted her at least once screaming her name. Wearing a blue jacket and flanked by her husband, Todd she touted her reformer credentials and how she "shook things up in Alaska."

She also mentioned how transparent the government in Alaska is while she is in charge, "I put our government state checkbook. I put it online for the whole world to see. You're going to see every penny that we spent up there. Doing that of course didn't thrill all the bureaucrats."

Like the television ad the campaign released today she stressed her running mate is the maverick in the race, "He doesn't run with the Washington herd. He is willing to shake things up in Washington and that is just one more reason to send the maverick of the Senate to the White House!"

Palin will continue campaigning with McCain for a few more days before heading out to campaign solo for the very first time later this week.

some folks are so brilliant, that they can foresee the future: just like what was predicted, Obama lost by 9 million votes and 175 odd electoral votes...Wait a minute!!!I think it's the other way around!...As regards to 'intelligence':

Al "Nobel Prize Winner" Gore: 0 years as president

George "War monger" Bush: 8 years thorough a re-election...yawn.
