Palin Tells the Truth, for Once
This comes from an AP article published Denver Post (thanks Eric Smith for the reference):
In an interview with the Anchorage Daily News, Palin faulted the policies of the Bush administration for the defeat of the GOP ticket, and said, “it’s amazing that we did as well as we did.”
“I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a $10 trillion debt in a Republican administration? How have there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration? If we’re talking change, we want to get far away from what it was that the present administration represented and that is to a great degree what the Republican Party at the time had been representing,” Palin said in a story published Sunday.
McCain’s Concession Speech
C’mon, you know that it made you cry. He spoke from the heart and for once, he acted like the Maverick you once loved. His expressions of esteem for America, for our democratic process… his respectful words about his opponent… his advocacy of unity… the way he hushed the booers… he shamed the rabid dogs in his base.
That was a politician with an independent spirit, there. McCain in defeat. We’re glad to have the real McCain back, who isn’t pandering anymore, and who has ditched the entourage of Bushite campaign staffers.
