Palin and Obama both started their political careers as members of the political party that controlled their state. Both state parties, Alaskan Republican Party and the Illinois Democratic Party, were very corrupt. The difference between the two is that one, Obama, got in bed with the corrupt Democratic Party and Palin fought and beat the Alaskan Republican establishment. Obama got in bed with Emile Jones who is governor, Rod Blagojevich’s man in the legislature, Richard Daly, Tony Rezco and the whole Illinois Democratic gang. Sarah Palin ran on a platform of fighting corruption and the corrupt Republican establishment. She fought and beat the sitting Republican governor in 2006. You tell me which one is the reformer.

Obama seems like a great guy - someone who would make a nice neighbor.  If he were elected I think he could do a good job of helping to heal racial wounds in our country.  But my problem with Obama is that he wants the politicians, the bureaucrats and the Washington elites to have more power and more control of resources.  God forbid a 35% marginal tax bracket is not enough he want it to be higher.  The answer is not to send more power and resources to the elites in Washington.  The best way to solve our problems is to let people keep their resources to use to freely work with open and free markets to build and plan their own lives.  The rule of law with secure property rights allowing people to live their own dreams will increase employment and prosperty.  Activity in and through markets are voluntary while government action is coercive force.  Let the people decide not the elites. Here is a good article from David Harsanyi in today’s Denver Post today:

“No, it was capitalism — more of it, not less of.
