Kids are stupid. They'll buy any propaganda their parents or schoolteachers throw their way. When I was an ignorant 15 year-old I used to buy into the Republican world-view too, thanks in no small part to years of conservative indoctrination in Texas public schools.Quote:

As much as I hated Palin, I would have voted the McCain ticket in a second had he drummed up the necessary support to destroy the bailout, or at least proposed some kind of alternative stimulus that didn't reward the sons of bitches who put our nation in this huge mess to begin with. Huge mistake by McCain.Quote:

Have the full transcript by chance? I haven't been able to find one. Just what's in the video, but it's edited.

She said this the same day with CNN:
The first part I bolded is not agreeing that the bailout was necessary, but that something was needing to be done. In context, you see she doesn't like what she sees happening. This is also before the full details of the bailout were voted on, and she disapproves with what she says the democrats want to do.Quote:
Palin: We cannot start moving closer and closer to socialism. That will destroy the entrepreneurial spirit in America. That will punish hard work and productivity, and that work ethic that we try to instill in our children so that they will know that they can be rewarded for their productivity, for their hard work. We cannot move in that direction, that it should be so concerning for any American voter to consider that perhaps there are some who would like us to go there. Now, as for the economic bailout provisions and the measures that have already been taken, it is a time of crisis and government did have to step in playing an appropriate role to shore up the housing market to make sure that we're thawing out some of the potentially frozen credit lines and credit markets, government did have to step in there. But now that we're hearing that the Democrats want an additional stimulus package or bailout package for what, hundreds of billions of dollars more, this is not a time to use the economic crisis as an excuse for reckless spending and for greater, bigger government and to move the private sector to the back burner and let government be assumed to be the be-all, end-all solution to the economic challenges that we have. That's what's scaring me now about hearing that the Democrats have an even greater economic bailout package, but we don't know all the details of it yet and we'll certainly pay close
In all fairness Palin didn't vote for the bailout because she was not a senator or representative, however, I have no doubt that she would have done so if she had a vote.Quote:
