Is It Just Me Or Is Sarah Palin The Only Republican Making Sense Right Now?
From RedState
I was listening to Bill Bennett’s radio program this morning and a caller was talking about a local event that she had attended with an official from Sen McConnell’s office. She asked this person what the Republicans in the senate were going to do to stop the socialist agenda that President Obama is pushing. His response was to say that Senator McConnell thinks that we should try to work with the current administration at this time and not try to stop it.
So from our conservative journalists who have enjoyed a one night stand with Obama and are now publicly gushing about how great he is, to our Republican senators and representatives not only rolling over and playing dead for President Obama, but rolling out the red carpet for him, a rabid wave of Obamamania has now also infected the GOP. The difference between Peggy Noonan and Chris Matthews is now reduced to the drool around Matthews’ mouth. The difference between Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid has become the lack of a spine and the shape of their glasses. Why do we go out of our way to elect these people who get to Washington and instantly become kept men and women of the liberal establishment?
It was bad enough that the Republican congress stopped being conservative and tried to woo the liberal media when they were in charge. One would have thought that their humiliating defeats in the last few elections would have taught them that being moderates and door mats for the Democrats isn’t a winning strategy, but here we go again.
So with socialism on the move, Governor Palin talks about renewing the spirit of Alaskans and independent responsibility, saying:
While states like my own are asking Washington for bailouts, Governor Palin’s Alaska is strongly positioned to survive this economic situation thanks to her wise and prudent stewardship of the state’s finances. Palin reminds us that:

So with socialism on the move, Governor Palin talks about renewing the spirit of Alaskans and independent responsibility, saying:
“Now, we can’t buy into the notion that for government to serve better, it must always spend more. Reductions we support are a chance to show the true measure in public policy. Simply increasing budgets every year, a common government practice, is no guarantee of success. More often, it’s an incentive to failure. Good public policy is accountable for results, and focused on critical priorities.”
While states like my own are asking Washington for bailouts, Governor Palin’s Alaska is strongly positioned to survive this economic situation thanks to her wise and prudent stewardship of the state’s finances. Palin reminds us that:
“In a volatile economy, numbers are not fixed, but principles are. We’ve followed the same principles from the start of this administration: fiscal discipline, limited government, and responsible stewardship. At a time when other state legislatures are staring at multi-billion-dollar deficits, and when our federal government proposes a deficit in excess of a trillion dollars this year alone, we have all the cautionary examples we need in the virtues of living within our means. With less revenue, we have an obligation to spend less money.”
