scathing new line of attack on Barack Obama’s tax plan at a rally here, citing an interview he gave as an Illinois state senator in 2001 as evidence that he favors socialist policies that fly in the face of the Constitution.
“It was just the other day that a tape of an interview from 2001 turned up, and there he was talking about the need for quote 'redistributive change,’” Palin said. “And Sen. Obama said that—he said that he regretted--he regretted that the Supreme Court hadn't been more radical and he described the court's refusal to take up the issues of redistribution of wealth as a tragedy and he said that he also regretted that the Supreme Court did not break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers there in the Constitution, that's a quote.”
Palin said that voters have to ask themselves whether Obama—a former Constitutional law professor—would like to rewrite the Constitution and questioned what kinds of Supreme Court justices he would appoint.
“Our opponent’s ideological commitment to spread the wealth around—taking more from you—spreading it around, it's been tried in other societies, friends,” Palin said. “And the only things that ever spread were scarcity and poverty and bureaucracy and stifling the entrepreneurial spirit that made this country the greatest country on earth.”
Palin next accused Obama of wanting judges to confiscate people’s property.
“And let me remind Barack Obama of something else. When judges don't confiscate your property and your hard m-- all of your hard earned money and then redistribute that, he may call that a tragedy, but I call it fairness and adherence to our U.S. Constitution,” she said.
Asked whether Palin was suggesting that Obama favors economic policies similar to those of Communist countries, Palin’s traveling press secretary Tracey Schmitt wrote in an email message, “No she said what she said.”
Your link doesn’ work.
FINALLY - a Republican with the sheer guts to call a Socialist a Socialist and let them whine and complain all they want.
Go Sarah!!!!
She quoted Plato? Nah. Can’t be possible! She’s a lightweight. She didn’t graduate from Hah-vahd, and she transferred too many times when she was working for her undergraduate degree. And she drops her g’s. /s
“Get this woman in the white house! Please, fight, work, Pray. We are still in this, we can do this”
When you take just the tracking polls, the average comes out to O +4.3. We do have to all work hard in the last week but we can do this.
We had a really good day in our Hollywood FL Victory office. People are coming out of the woodwork to volunteer as transport folks, phone bankers, and anything else they can do
If you are in a battleground state, please go volunteer. If you are not, please go to johnmccain.com and you can phone bank into another state. We really need the help.
Hooray Sarah! Thank you John McCain!
This should be absolutely all Mac and Sarah talk about for the next six days and nights.
Obama wants to spread the wealth; we want to spread opportunity. That resonates.
Talk about nothing else.
Conquer short attention spans. No long diatribes, though Obama’s disdain for the founding fathers is an essential ingredient in this selling point.
Obama is a socialist at best, and likely a communist in political philosophy.
In my opinion, he is a thug at heart, a pure obamist who hates your guts, hates my guts, and hates America.
I read someone’s line today, a quote of Mrs. Thatcher: “Socialism is great until the other guy’s money runs out.”
Keep it simple and tell it like it is: Obama is a socialist and always has been.
If we lose with that, at least we went down swinging.
Make you day even better, friend.
“Asked whether Palin was suggesting that Obama favors economic policies similar to those of Communist countries,...”
Well, that’s interesting that YOU drew that conclusion, but you are responsible for that observation. Sarah said what she said and nothing more.
We really need the help
******************************88
Lovedog, tell you GOP chairperson to get to the national headquarters and have them spend $1M to get Sarah Palin on prime time national tv-—then, put your feet up, and relax. LOL
She will be the first woman Prez!
Positive news this time, my friend. LOL
I agree. In 1988, Bush 41 labeled Dukakis as “Liberal”. In 2008, McCain, Palin, and Joe the Plumber are using the “S-word”....SOCIALISM to discribe Hussein. Even if they don’t use the “S-word” that often, describing it and using Hussein’s 2001 interview will most definitely resonate this week. With a 3-4 point lead, this is BIG trouble for Hussein.
socialism is communism by the drink..
“Well, that’s interesting that YOU drew that conclusion, but you are responsible for that observation. Sarah said what she said and nothing more.”

I love your answer.....GREAT!!
Reagan in a skirt!
Thought this would be the first time ever that I sat out an election.
Then McBrilliant picks Palin. Palen/McCain 08!
I pure IQ, I think she would beat all 3 of the other candidates.... and, she knows how to drive a snowmobile! I bet the dummy nominee for the other party could tell you the names of 5 standard household tools. The silly man has been quoted as not understanding the stock market, but makes fun of McCain for humbly saying he didn’t understand the economy. McCain has experienced more about the economy than the dummy DNC nominee knows.
