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.”
They have to be a little wobbly after that one. She almost KO’d him with that punch!
Rope-a-dope, my friend. She took everything that they threw at her- now they’re tired- and she’s just started to pound.
That is not going to happen. I am not signed up to spend the whole week working to lose, nor are any other volunteers. We can do this. I love Sarah and want her to be the first female pres as much as anyone else. But she will do that much more easily as a VP... Say it again...Vice President Sarah Palin.
Interesting! I’ll go with why choose one - they’re both hotties!!!
Hey, that works for me too.
To know, know, know her is to love, love, love her!
There, fixed it.
Way to go, Sarah!!
10-4! Elizabeth Hasselback isn’t too bad on the eyes either.
That's why the Dems want to destroy her. THEY want one of their own to be the first woman President, and they know that Sarah being Veep for eight, or even only for four years, will make her an even more formidable opponent than she is today.
Are you kidding me — they teach the “virtues” of socialism and communism in the goobermint screwools, but they will never use those words, because use of those words, plus the word liberalism, and admitting they plan to take away your freedoms and money, are verbotten.
On the other hand, the goobermint screwools have no problem trashing the capitalistic system and our founding fathers, and the Pilgrims who first settled the country.
As far as the difference, to me, they are the same, except that communism is just a step deeper beyond socialism into that abyss of tyranny and despair (ask a North Korean how they like Communism).
Rogue baby Rogue.
Difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom?
‘Rouge’
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Maybe Sarah accidentally quoted Plato?
/s
It's called letting the candidate do the talking.
She is right on. Sarah 2008 and Sarah 2012 too.
That’s what you say. I said what I said.
I went to school in Lancaster County, PA, so no, I was not taught socialism.
Now, things are different. My son goes to Baltimore City Public school and they are damn sure doing their best to indoctrinate!
Sarah and John need to hit this there HARD for the remaining week. Great that they are doing it now...
I agree. Hit it hard! Also, they really need to accentuate the fact that by “spreading the wealth”, what that really means is CONFISCATING your hard earned money and giving it to others...at the government’s discretion! Make it absolutely crystal clear. I’m afraid the libs and many of the indies think that whole “spreading the wealth” thing is a kind-hearted way to treat the less fortunate. It’s friggin’ robinhood marxist policy is what it is. No doubt about it. about it.
