Palin cautioned Iowans that under Obama’s “big government agenda,” their income, property and investments would be “shared with everybody else.” She labeled Obama’s plan to provide tax credits to lower and middle-income wage-earners “the philosophy of government taking more, which is a misuse of the power to tax.”
“It leads to government moving into the role of taking care of you, and government and politicians and, kind of moving in as the other half of your family to make decisions for you,” she said. “Now they do this in other countries where the people are not free. Government as part of the family, taking care of us, making decisions for us. I don’t know what to think of having in my family Uncle Barney Frank or others to make decisions for me.”
With audience members shouting “socialist!” throughout her speech, the Alaska governor said that time is running out for Americans to realize the danger of a having a Democrat in the White House.
“Are we hearing what he is saying with 10 days to go?,” she asked plaintively. “Are voters hearing what he is saying about his plans for bigger government?”

Whether the voters actually care or not remains to be seen.
There’s the warning. If people don’t put down the kool-aid and listen, that’s their own prerogative.
If this is from the speech this afternoon she was great. Give CNN credit. While Fox News broke away from her speech CNN showed the whole thing. SarahPalin 2012. BTW I just found out today that my sister who voted for Hillary Clinton in the primaries will vote for McCain. Yes.
Rogue on, Gov. Palin!
“She is absolutely correct.
Whether the voters actually care or not remains to be seen.”
The voters better wake up!!
The NObama system would take away our incentive. Why should small businesses take risks, or why should my husband work overtime, if it’s only going to be taken away from them, and given to people who don’t want to work as hard (or at all).
Wow. What a great line. She communicates the message so clearly! Can you imagine any other politician speaking truth like this with such a vivid, creepy and accurate word picture? She is downright FReeperesque. I love it!
Cordially,
Sarah Palin is not afraid to call it like it is. How refreshing coming from a politician. Imagine what Washington could be like if we could find more like her!!
I know a few of those too, my MIL being one of them.
An Obama/Ayers administration would turn this fine country into a collectivist, large-scale Jonestown.

Not just a nanny state, but a Big Brother state too.
LOL!!! -- Uncle Barney Frank! I think everybody knows at least 2 or 3 people that has a "funny uncle" in the family! Great line by Sarah!
I just posted the same thing. You beat me to it!
“Not just a nanny state, but a Big Brother state too.”
You ain’t kidding. Apparently emails deemed as possible smears are to be forwarded to a ‘watchdog’ email for the 0bama campaign:

Wrong, Sarah - We already have a “Nanny State”. What Obama would usher in would be a new level of Marxist society not seen since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Period.
