This is a good article from the Wall Street Journal about how people like Palin say they love small town Americans yet screw them over with legislation. I think there must be some truth to the fact that voters in small towns are often more conservative and Christian. So the Republicans strive to present a veneer of catering to this less wealth sector who is stereotyped as preferring the quiet life to the big city elitists. But all politicians are elitists. You can't run without money and connections. Palin pretends to be a simple hockey mom with a husband who is an oil worker. But she's not. She has so many kids because she doesn't believe in family planning. Her husband is supposed to have a pretty cushy job at the oil field. And this nonsense about them earning money through fishing has been proved to merely be a hobby of theirs. Duh, politicians will never be like me and you.
The other interesting point the above article brings up is that Palin quoted an anti-semite in her RNC speech. Oooo, it warms the cockles of my heart. ;p
