It is such garbage. We are grown adults. I don't need people in Washington "fighting for me" or suggesting that is what their role should be.

Relax, friend.

Politicians have to use catch phrases and general concepts of purpose when speaking to large groups in the weeks leading up to a major election. There just isn't time during the frenzy of organizing a takeover of Congress to deliver a professorial dissertation to the multitudes.

This is nothing more than political campaigning 101. Time to rally the troops.

I wonder if people realize but Sarah is stealing the Rats talking points and appling them to the conservative message.

I understand the "phrase" game before an election. But Palin's choice of words here, is only further showing her mindset to be from a self-absored line of thinking. Dems such as Kerry, Edwards, Gore and Obama use phrases such as "fighting for you little guys" (because they seriously see themselves as superheros to us dimwitted masses). But I do not recall Reagan or GWB using such phrases. They spoke to the notion of getting out of the way and allowing you to 'fight' for yourself.

Or course that loser Huckabee, went with the "fighting for the small guy" during 08 and in the end only helped the DEM cause, IMO. Best regards.
