McCain Vs. Palin For The GOP’s Soul

The Investor’s Business Daily has a good article on the contrasts between John McCain who continues to make a politicial living off his days of military server and being a POW vs Sarah Palin who is the favorite target of the liberal media hacks, activists, and even bitter McCain staffers. McCain is basically an old washed up version of his airhead daughter who can’t seem to go away and realize her 15 minutes of fame were up last November. As the Investors Business Daily article points out,

McCain has consistently taken positions that more closely resemble those of liberal Democrats. Employing the worst kind of class warfare rhetoric, he opposed President George W. Bush’s tax cuts.

McCain also supports Cap and Trade, amnesty for illegals and other liberal policies. McCain, also joined with liberal Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., to restrict the political speech guaranteed by the First Amendment through his campaign finance law — which the Supreme Court may soon gut in its Citizens United v. FEC case.

Contrast that with Sarah Palin, who liberals and some left leaning “conservatives” love to rag on 24 hours a day

The former Alaska governor, already popular among grass-roots Republicans, is growing in credibility. Her much-criticized decision to resign the governorship is beginning to look like a move that made perfect sense — not just for herself but for Alaskans — in the face of the long knives the Democrats had ready for her as a sitting chief executive.

Palin is becoming a bold, principled voice on issues ranging from the global war on terror to financial markets. “Now is not the time for cold feet, second thoughts, or indecision,” she said regarding White House skittishness on Afghanistan.

She has warned that “we’re ignoring the looming crisis caused by our dependence on foreign oil,” arguing that America will be at foreign powers’ “mercy if they decide to dump the dollar as their trade currency.”
