DUBUQUE, Iowa - Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin told a noisy, sign-waving crowd in Dubuque on Monday that Democrat Barack Obama's economic plans are "phony" proposals that will destroy American jobs.
Palin told about 5,000 people that voters are getting a closer look at Obama's economic plan and don't like what they see. She pointed to what she called an independent analysis of the plan that indicated it would cost 6 million jobs.
"Now is the worst possible time to even consider taking more from you and from our small businesses," Palin said. "Raising taxes at this time makes no sense. We know from independent analysis that our opponent's economic plans would destroy nearly 6 million jobs over the next decade."

Not surprisingly - the biggest and loudest ovation came after she avowed her pro-life commitment.
6 million seems to be a lowball number.
Obama’s protectionist and tax policies alone will displace at least that many workers, and his energy policies are a catastrophe waiting to happen if he hamstrings the coal , oil and nuclear folks as his people are demanding.
Very cool pic! I was so far back all I got was pictures of “Country First” signs and people’s heads!
