If we elect Sarah Palin, will it hammer the final nail into the coffin of ';fiscal responsibility';?

Governor Palin has ';cut back'; on pork-barrel project requests, but in her two years in office, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. And as mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million.

This is like so many other Republican propaganda techniques... they focus on the fact that Palin has ';cut back'; on spending (in only the last 6 months) and completely ignore the big elephant in the room which is that she is still the most extravagant spender in the entire United States...If we elect Sarah Palin, will it hammer the final nail into the coffin of ';fiscal responsibility';?
Palin is not the Presidential candidate and we need to remember that and keep our focus on it and not playing to her celebrity status. She fits in well with the rest of the republicans by constant lying and denial. It will be the end of any hope for our economy for years to come if they are elected.If we elect Sarah Palin, will it hammer the final nail into the coffin of ';fiscal responsibility';?
She also found a clever way to shift the tax burden onto the poor and middle class by increasing the city sales tax including food, and cut property tax rates which mainly benefited businesses and the rich.





This politician is vicious, much like Bush firing nonpolitical employees and loading up the govt. with loyalists, which is what they do in third world right wing govts. She didn't attack other politicians for being corrupt. She attacked them for the same reason mafias fight each other, competition.
Short answer: yes!





She's a hypocrite. She learned her lessons from that Alaska state senator now under investigation for accepting home improvements. He's the one who pointed Palin to a Washington lobbyist and I'm sure he whispered all the right things to say to him in her ear.





She's as tainted as the republicans she backstabbed to get where she is today. I hope she's sent packing quickly.
yes , then foreign powers will start dumping u.s dollars like crazy and inflation will rise big time. This little jump in u.s currency over the last 2 months is completely orchestrated to keep republicans in power .
Caribou Barbie is well know for her free spending ways.
Yes..look what she did to her tiny town...left them with historic debt
