Why Isn't Palin Coming to Washington to Work on the Bailout Bill?

Gov. Palin's Alaska State does not need any bailout. She ran the state well. Being faithful in little (Alaska) she will be faithful to serve in much (USA).

As she is not a representative nor Senator, she was not invited.

To get Gov Palin to clean up washington and Wall Street,

Vote McCain-Palin 08 in on November 4.

Obama is no good for the economy. He is just a "protestor" and "whinner" his whole life. Such a person cannot be good for the economy. Obama isn't he a CEO of a large company or head of a city or a state.
There is no evidence that show that he can manage anything.

Why Isn't Palin Coming to Washington to Work on the Bailout Bill?

Here's a hint, Jake- she's not an elected member of Congress. And if one governor were to go to Washington to deal with this- why not the other 49?

Conservative Not NeoCon, the history books will one day prove you totally wrong. President Bush's economic policies are what has gotten us, so far, through all of the hits that our economy has taken during his two terms.

The 2001 Bush tax cuts turned around the 2000-01 recession. The combination of the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts greatly diminished the effect that 9/11 and the corporate scandals had on our economy. Then we actually had 52 consecutive months of job growth (September 2003 through December 2007). It was the effects of the triple whammy of the slumping housing market, the subprime mortgage crisis and skyrocketing energy prices that caused the downturn in the economy. YET in spite of these latest hits to the economy, GDP actually grew the first two quarters of 2008: 0.9% growth in the 1st quarter and 3.3% growth in the 2nd quarter.

And had the Democratics in Congress heeded President Bush's and Sen. McCain's warnings and calls for oversight over the past several years, instead of blocking the attempts to implement oversight, we might have avoided the current economic crisis.

8 years of Republican corruption, secrecy, elitism, self centered greed and nepotism and here we are today, debating on wether or not to give them another chance? Has ANYONE in the middle-class ever been well off under Bush Sr. and Quayle? How about Bush Jr. and Chaney? Why in the hell would you give McPalin the same ticket to run this country more into the ground? Do you like to keep the very wealthy from paying their taxes? Do you like to borrow more from China? The Republicans today have shown nothing but the same Bush Rove spin and razzledazzle that this foul administration has excelled in.

A better question is, WHy isn't Barry O helping out!

Maybe he is helping by just keeping out of it all because he is a complete idiot when it comes to really doing Something or ANYTHING!
Just keep talking off that Tele prompter
It's about the only thing "The One" can do at this point.
Oh, he can vote present too!

Face it, the Dems are wishing for another Depression. They love when the people are in a big hurt. That way they can blame it on the Repubs and press for more Government in everyones life. It is what SOCIALIST do.
Just look at all the Dems that helped get this to the point it is. Barney Franks, Chris Dodds, Chuck Schumer, Clinton, Carter, Jim Johnson, Franklin Raines!

I think it is obvious why she isn't there. If she were a capable candidate she would be in DC talking to all the reporters getting free airtime! Oh I forgot...........she isn't allowed to speak to anyone. The fact that the McCain campaign wants to control her and Palin allowing them to control her says a lot about both McCain and Palin.
Their party looks so sad!

Barb, contrary to what the Liberal blogs have posted Gov. Palin did NOT want the victims to pay for their own rape kits. The policy in Wasilla used to be that the hospitals would bill the victims' insurance companies for the rape kits. Former Wasilla Police Chief, Charlie Fannon, in an interview in 2000, said: "I just don't want to see any more burden on the taxpayer." He ALSO said, but apparently this was omitted or ignored by the bloggers: "I'd like to see the courts make these people (criminals) pay restitution for these things." So he wanted the criminal to be held responsible for the costs of the rape kits NOT THE VICTIMS. Then somehow the comments of the Wasilla Police Chief were attributed as being Gov. Palin's views.

The job description of VP is to take over for the president should the need arise. If McCain cannot debate on Friday as scheduled we should have the VP debate instead. This way we also get a preview of what we should expect if Palin has to take over for McCain.

John McCain and Joe Biden are senior members of the U.S. Senate, and should clearly be involved first hand in any decisions or discussions as relates to the currently economic crisis.

Barack Hussein Obama should probabaly be there, too, since he's supposed to be representing his state is the U.S. Senate. But he's only shown up 143 days total, so it's would be unusual to have him actually showing up for work in the U.S. Senate. It'd be even more unusual if he did something when he did show up!

Gov. Sarah Palin was not elected to the U.S. Senate, and she does not currently have a role in formal discussions. This is no different than any other governor, whether it be Jimmy Carter or Michael Dukakis.

Btw, exactly what foreign policy experience did Dukakis have when the Democrats nominated him for President? None. Bill Clinton's foreign policy experience prior to being President? Was it visiting the USSR as a college student? And Obama claims foreign policy awareness by virtue of having lived in the world's most populous Islamic nation, Indonesia? It's true, and it's even on his official Barack Hussein Obama website.

It appears to most people Obama made the poorer choice in VP.

Today there is more talk about Obama replacing his VP than JM. Now there's judgement for you, having to replace your VP for incompetence before he even starts his job in January!

Maybe on your planet "most" people think Palin is a better choice than Biden, but not on mine.

Who is "talking" about Obama switching VP choices? Bloggers? Not Obama. It's not going to happen. He (and I and most Dems) think Biden is a great choice!

What is Palin going to do?

Nothing, she cant vote for or against the bill....she is a governor not a senator....that means she has 1/50th the voting power and experience of a senator

her only insight was to tell us that this could lead to a depression if we dont do something....thanks for the update genius, did your communications degree tell you that.....

I think Obama is making an issue for McCain suspending the campaign. I see a legitimate reason for McCain to suspend the campaign and work with fellow republicans in the House and to a lesser degree the Senate are thinking of voting against this bill.

If McCain does not do this, Obama and Dems will get an opportunity to claim victory for this bill and point finger at republicans.

So, McCain is trying to handle genuine issue while Obama and dems are playing politics by undermining his effort.

Bob, You missed a couple of important facts. Phil Gramm wrote some bills. Remember Phil Gramm? McCain's co-chair? The one who said that the economic problem were "mental." Well, he wrote a deregulation bill in 1999 and then followed that one up with another one in December 2000 called the "Commodity Futures MODERNIZATION Act," which made all of those credit default swaps possible. There is no one and I mean no one - who bears more responsiblity for this mess than Phil Gramm, John McCain's chief economic advisor. I do not think the Democrats are blameless at all - they were certainly responsible for some of the mess. But if you think Democrats are at the lead on deregulation - I have a bridge to sell you in Alaska.

Barb,

Please google "alaska rape kits charge".

You will find numerous fact groups including newsbusters that the charge is completely false.

If you can find any facts to support your case after reading these articles, please let me know.

If not the "rape kit" has been proven to be a false charge.

Jake

In update#3 can you please explain why Palin needs to be in Washington but Obama does not?

Barb

It appears to most people Obama made the poorer choice in VP. Even Biden said Hillary would have been a better choice.

Biden didn't know FDR was not President in 1929, didn't know they didn't have tv's back then, blasts Obama for an unfair ad attacking JM, claimed Obama is not ready to be President and in one week makes more mistakes than Palin has ever made.

Today there is more talk about Obama replacing his VP than JM. Now there's judgement for you, having to replace your VP for incompetence before he even starts his job in January!

Oh, your precious Obama isn't looking like a leader, so you want to knife Palin (who isn't, after all, a Senator or member of Congress).

How disingenuous of Sen. Obama, the Democrats and their supporters to now claim that a president must be able to do more than one thing at a time. Since 2005, they have all blasted President Bush for not dropping everything to deal with Katrina. Many condemned him for attending a fundraiser in San Diego the very day that Katrina hit. Yet at the time of that fundraiser, all reports were that the levees had held. It wasn't until after the event it became clear that there were levee breaches and widespread flooding of New Orleans.

Life isn't fair....for any of us right now...she CHOSE to run for VP, it was a choice ..this is not the prom, or a hockey game it's politics....what I feel is UNFAIR is McCains incredibly poor choice as VP as she may end up as president...Now that is unfair! Charging for rape kits...please.

Gov. Palin no shows at the D.C. and be critisized by the likes of you. She shows up and no doubt she will mercilessly be critisized by MSM. Frankly, I have no idea how Gov. Palin copes with all hit jobs and smears not only directed at her but at her family. Unfair does not even begin to describe how I feel.
