The old Patriotism card.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Nice quotes in the news (CNN) today:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told a fundraiser in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Thursday night:

"We believe that the best of America is in the small towns that we get to visit, and in the wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, very pro-America areas of this great nation," she said.

The old you are only a patriot if you vote for us argument.

so what are you saying.she shouldn't try and canvass people for votes?that's her job.

Someone should have shouted out "hey my sister lives in a city. How dare you call her lazy and unamerican!"

It's her job to go around and let people see what she is like so they can decide who to vote for.

In practice this means (for all sides and in all countries) to go around and say any bullshit that will trick the ignorant voters into picking you.

There's an endless supply of ignorant voters so it will always be the same.

Hey it would be fun if they got the speeches mixed up and she gave that one to a bunch of city bankers.

In this era of media she did say it also to city bankers and those who live in cities. With one fell swoop she has insulted an awful lot of her country - all those parts she doesn't consider to be Real America.
