“Political Industrial Complex”

Oh, I like that one AJ.. well done.

How about the “Dead Big Media Industrial Complex”, as well…

or…

The “Soon-to-be Extinct Blatantly Biased Mainstream Media Industrial Complex”…?

I voted for Sarah for Governor in the primary but not the general election. I was not sure she had what it would take to do the job. Instead I voted for her opponent, Tony Knowles, ineffectual but harmless. After her first year in office I was not pleasantly surprised, I was shocked. It is kind of like expecting a check in the mail and opening it up and seeing 2 extra zeros. She has truly shaken things up up here. I suspect that the day after she was named as McCain’s running mate that BP, Conoco and especially Exxon donated more to Obama then they had to any democrat in years. I also suspect that the rest of America might enjoy a politician who actually thinks she works for the people and does what she says she will.

Palin has an approval rating of over 80%. She must have done something right.

There’s no reason to launch an attack like that now – Obama is doing a great job of digging himself into a hole, when an opponent is doing that the best strategy is usually to simply stand by calmly and let him dig.

Maybe it’s time for the McCain camp to release those ads about Ayers and Resko/

Maybe someone can tell us about those missing Obama years in NYC when he attended Columbia or his trip to Pakistan after he left Occidental college…or his two Pakistani friends from Occidental who are his two biggest financial bundlers. All of this was in the FoxNews Presidential documentary on Presidential character when they examined both Obama and McCain. No ine knows any of his friends in NYC and even where he lived….his missing years.

Powerline made a good point – the NYT complains mightily about the resume’s of the people she hired, but doesn’t have a word to say about their actual performance in the jobs they were given. Which is pretty good evidence that her appointments did very good work in office, and also shows up how elitist this criticism is. They don’t have anything bad to say about the people themselves, they just don’t think anyone without the “right” kind of resume is fit for a government job. They make the point that the best reformers come in, fire the entrenched bureaucrats and replace them with a bunch of fresh faces not beholden to the status quo. That, in a nutshell, is what they are criticizing Sarah for doing.

And further, they ignore the fact that currently Palin has an 85% approval rating in Alaska and even a 75% approval rating among Alaska democrats. Seems like the people most affected by the way she runs things overwhelmingly approve.

If this is the worst they could come up with after 2 weeks of digging in the Wasilla trash heap, the dem’s are in very big trouble indeed.
