According to Cynthia McKinney..."Our country has been hijacked and the Democrats have proven themselves to have been in on the plan. When it came to the Constitution, the Democratic leadership showed us that aiding and abetting illegal spying on us was more important to them than protecting our civil liberties.

Yet the president gives jobs away to the very people we're supposed to be so worried about. I'm sure every time I speak with customer service, I'm talking with someone in Afghanistan or Iraq or elsewhere. How did that happen and why are there no jobs out there? Bush would know. He made sure to create a panic after 9/11 by getting hard working Americans fired and giving their jobs to people outside of the U.S. The failure of the last 8 years has largely been the fault of the Republican party - start a war, take care of the wealthy, inflate prices, repeat. And please explain how Bush won 2004 fair and square? He made a huge mess of everything between 2000 and 2004 so why wouldn't the voters expect him to clean up after himself? No wonder his approval rating are down in the teens now.

I think Democrats could be more effective in their criticisms of Palin if they focus less on the experience issue, as it draws comparisons to Obama's experience, and stick to Palin's apparent lack of knowledge on issues and policy outside of Alaska...especially foreign policy. But that's just my opinion.

Same thing for the Republicans. It's so funny that the Republican party can say, "Oh, why are the Democrats attacking Palin about her experience? That's not right." yet they forget how quickly they've been saying the same thing about Obama since the election started. Well, I hope Palin can handle it because she's going to continue hearing it and probably end up just as annoyed as I'm sure Obama is about people pulling the inexperienced card on him every five minutes.
