75. OK, Sarah, is there anything it IS okay to attack? Seriously?
Every single attack on you and your sorry partner have been entirely legitimate, and yet you consistently whine about how "unfair" the Democrats are. Cindy McCain said she thought Obama "stepped over the line" by noting - correctly - that her husband is out of touch with the average American.

These things are unfair? Grow a spine, lady. Do you really think actually BEING Vice President will be any easier?

Do you not realize that your presentation is ALL ABOUT the "verbiage" used? If McCain didn't mean that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" he probably shouldn't have said it. If he really meant the "workforce and ingenuity of the American people" (and I doubt that; it's not a particularly brilliant backpedal), perhaps that's what he should have said.

You're all talk, Sarah Palin. All talk, no walk.
