Wal-Mart Commercial vs Sen. Biden.
So besides the fact that Palin got lots of names and details incorrect and on several occasions didn't even answer the questions posed to her, I really came away with this feeling that I was witnessing a Wal-Mart commercial attempting to debate Joe Biden. I mean all that fake folksy bullshit that is in Wal-Mart commercials... aww shucks.... everyday people.... blah blah. Just like Wal-Mart commercials, Sarah Palin is a folksy Mayberry front for what is ultimately a sinister and economically devastating enterprise. Her job is to make something that is ugly, nasty and ultimately destructive of the United States and our way of life seem cute and fun. The Wal-Mart comparison is appropos since Wal-Mart has done more to destroy the American retail and manufacturing economy than any one business on Earth and yet they have these commercials that talk about how fun and nice they are for caring about regular people, the sames one who used to own the small businesses which Wal-Mart ruthlessly drove out of business with predatory pricing and "loss leaders."
An extra comment. Palin kept talking about how McCain is going to cut taxes because that way we can have more jobs. It is amazing that conservatives still spout this utterly unverifiable and frequently wrong crap after all these years of Bush tax cuts which accompanied utter economic devastation and the destruction of the US financial sector. We are supposed to bail out Wall Street without money but we won't raise taxes which would actually provide the money for the bailout and I don't mean taxes for people like who make 40K a year, but taxes for all those people making 200K and up who pay a smaller percentage of their income in taxes than I do somehow and who are also going to be the primary beneficiaries of the Wall Street bailout.
