It's officially crazy time...

Palin dubs Obama: 'Barack the Wealth Spender'

With two weeks to the election, the attacks from McCain and Palin have become even more ridiculous and nefarious. Besides blaming the Obama campaign for anything the media does, like Palin does when the media looks into the background of "Joe the Plumber", they have tried to sell lower and middle class people on the idea that giving them a tax break is "socialist" and going to dash their hopes and dreams.

ARE YOU SERIOUS???????

If you thought about this idea rationally, for one second, you would see how ridiculous it is. The majority of working Americans (the ones who are struggling) would get a bigger tax break under Obama than they would under McCain. So how is it that Palin and McCain are convincing these same people that that's a bad thing? The Republicans have become so good at twisting and spinning issues in order to get people to vote against their own self interests, it's actually quite remarkable (and scary).

For example, you have this...
"Palin said Munoz isn’t the only worker standing up against Obama — other taxpayers like “Phil the bricklayer” and “Rose the teacher” can expect to have their “dreams dashed by the Obama tax increase.”

ARE YOU F*CKING SERIOUS????????

Obama will increase taxes on those making over $250,000. Do you know any bricklayers or teachers that make over $250,000? It's patently absurd, but people are still buying it for some reason. (Unless I am wrong, and teachers and bricklayers do make that much money, in which case... anyone looking for a teacher or bricklayer? I'm willing to learn for $250,000+.)

It's like you can just say anything (true or not), the media reports it, and the people start going nuts. I mean even Joe the Plumber was forced to admit he would get a bigger tax break under Obama and that the business he was thinking of buying didn't make anywhere near $250,000 (which pretty much made his claims about him being prevented from owning a business because of Obama's tax increases ridiculous in the first place, and further convinces me that he was working in conjunction with the McCain campaign).

In case anyone can't comprehend this.... let's do some examples.

If you, John the Construction Worker, make $75,000 a year... you are going to get a bigger tax cut under Obama than you would under McCain. NOT A TAX INCREASE.

If you, Tina the Baker, make $87,000 a year.... you are going to get a bigger tax cut under Obama than you would under McCain.... NOT A TAX INCREASE.

See how that works Sarah Palin? Stop f*cking lying to and misleading the American people.

P.S. Why is the "liberal media" not doing their job and calling her out on this????? The stuff she is preaching is pretty irrational, but for some reason she gets a pass.
