Palin asks if Democrats think terrorists are 'the good guys'
Source: CNN

JEFFERSON CITY, Missouri (CNN) — After warning an audience Monday in Missouri that a government run by Democrats would “gut” defense spending, Palin asked the crowd: “Do they think that terrorists have all of a sudden become the good guys?”

“So what do they think?,” Palin mused, referring to Democrats. “Do they think that terrorists have all of a sudden become the good guys? And changed their minds? No, the terrorists still seek to destroy America and her allies and all that it is that we stand for: freedom, tolerance, equality. The terrorists have not changed their minds.”

Her question was new, but Palin was pushing an argument she has made frequently in the closing week of the campaign — that Democrats in Congress, led by Rep. Barney Frank, favor a cutting the defense budget by a fourth.

“This is not the time to gut the defense budget, and this is not the time to entrust the powers of the federal government to the one party rule of Obama, Pelosi and Reid,” Palin said.

Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, has said he would favor a 25 percent cut in defense spending, but Obama has said he would actually increase military spending.

34. The Republic Party member who was a terrorist, Timothy McVeigh
was probably a good guy to most other Republic Party members.

A card carrying Republic Party member... Timothy McVeigh. Never forget that.

30. Actually, I was hoping for a bit of Karma...
like after tomorrow she goes back to Alaska where she slips on an icy patch outside her back door, knocking herself cold...a passing moose gets a sudden craving for human flesh and devours her, eyeglasses and all...

Then the moose wanders back into the forest where he shits big piles of Sarah de Caca on a well-worn moose path where twenty moose a day walk through and stomp her turdy self flat into the ground.

The End.

3. I guess all she has left are the idiots like her.
No intelligent person will listen to her anymore. If 5% of the population is stupid that still gives her 15 million listeners.

and this is JUST the kind of crap rove/atwater do/did, AND has some success with confused voters. Believe it or not, there are enough of those around to give some (of us) indigestion.

11. No Sarah, but...

using terrorism as an excuse to launch unprovoked wars costing us $trillions, and then calling for extended war indefinitely until we "win," when "winning" is ill-defined...is sheer madness! Who exactly "wins" while the nation goes bankrupt? Oh, of course, 'drill baby, drill', its the oil companies!

48. We defend ourselves from terrroists by the Dept. of Homeland Security
not by armies and the military, primarily. Obama has often talked about using savings from ending the war to protect ports, planes, and to screen incoming immigrants, etc. w/ well-thought-out security measures. A one-quarter cut in military spending would help, not hurt. Does Palin believe that "terrorists" can muster an army and air force that threaten the U.S.'s, even after a 1/4 cut? Of course, her #'s are imaginary.

I wish such a large cut were being contemplated.
