The Real Question About Ms Palin
Is she in it for America or Alaska? The most damning thing she says in this video that has played allover the net is not that she does not know what a VP does but that she said, "We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans."
I BELIEVE: That the purpose of communication is not to speak so that you can be understood, rather it is to speak in such a way that you cannot be misunderstood; That we have it within us to do both good or evil and choose which we will do; That reason can lead one to a better, more well founded set of moral guidelines than authority ever will; That if there is nothing for which you would give you life then it is not worth much; That the only sin lies in hurting another unnecessarily; That trickledown economics do not work; That taxation should be progressive rather than regressive; That our economy is driven by consumption to a greater extent than it is by investment, though they both play a part; That great oratory is a vital skill for a leader; That our similarities are greater than our differences; That honesty and fidelity are the first among virtues; That doubt is a virtue and faith a vice.
