Faith and Fear

      The attacks on Obama by Sarah Palin continue with a new twist. Now she is invoking God, saying that the outcome is in " God's hand ". This ties in nicely with her calling Obama a socialist.  " I am going to know at the end of the day, putting this in God's hands, that the right thing for America will be done ",she told Christian evangelical leader James Dobson"

      It has also been revealed that the Republican National Committee has spent $150,000 for clothes and haircare for her and her family. This is on top of revealations that she charged the Alaskan taxpayers for expenses incurred by her family's travel expenses. I wonder what" Joe the plumber " and " the hockey moms " think abouit this.She has been spouting invectives in the name of the middle class, claiming to represent the middle class, but now she has been exposed as just another money grubbing politician, feeding at the public trough.

      Time and  overexposure have had its impact. The novelty has worn off and she is seen  merely,as an uninformed, Saks Avenue/ Nieman Marcus wind-up politico. Her malleablity/ ignorance was an asset, but now polling by the Harvard Institute of Politics is indicating that she failed to woo young voters and may even have turned them off by her vituperatiion. " We now have data that indicate that the choice of Palin didn't help and probably hurt the Republican party,"said John Della Volpe, director of polling.

      Faith and Fear..............this what the McCain/ Palin campaign is counting on. They have admitted that talking about the economy will lose them the election. Not even the Wall Street debacle has allowed them to get on track, and come up with ideas . They are adrift and so, the crass appeal to Faith and Fear. Now a poll released by their favourite network... Fox, has Obama up by 9 points.....49-40, nationally. Other polls show what is more significant, that is that ,Obama is leading in such crucial states as Ohio, Virginia and even N. Carolina and Florida.

                       Race, Faith Fear and socialism........ these are the bogeymen!!!
