Palin: 'Far-left wing of the Democrat Party’ could takeover

[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/10/26/art.palin.9.14.jpg caption caption=" Palin told supporters today that the McCain ticket 'will win!'"]
LAKEWOOD, Ohio (CNN) - With her voice beginning to crack on this final marathon day of campaigning, Sarah Palin promised an audience in Ohio: “We will win!”

“You can just feel it here,” she said at a rally in the Cleveland suburbs. “You can just feel it here in Ohio, victory's coming, we can do this, we can win, we can win Ohio. And we must win for you.”

The crowd chanted “We will win! We will win!” throughout her remarks. At one point, Palin warned with urgency: “We must win.”

“We must win,” she said, “because Ohio, the far-left wing of the Democrat Party, not mainstream Democrat ideology, the values, the planks in the platform of the Democrat Party. It's the far-left wing of the party is getting ready to take over the entire federal government.”

Palin again accused Barack Obama of wanting to bankrupt the coal industry, citing an interview the Democrat gave to the San Francisco Chronicle in January in which he discussed his “aggressive” cap-and-trade proposal to limit carbon and greenhouse gas emissions.

“Just yesterday, revelation, an audiotape surfaces,” Palin argued, despite the fact that the Obama interview has been posted online for nine months. “People are starting to hear in his own words what Sen. Obama’s intention is for the coal industry. You got to hear this tape. You’re going to hear Obama saying it, talking about bankruptcy, bankruptcy there in the coal industry. He’s explaining all this to the San Francisco Chronicle, and he says …”

Watch: Palin says now is the worst time for tax increases

Palin was interrupted by an audience member who shouted “Liberal!”

She continued: “And there must be something about San Francisco and he because it’s like I heard on Fox News today, it’s like a truth serum where when he’s there, he seems to be more candid, and remember it was there that he talked about, there you go, the bitter clingers, the cling-ons, all of us, I guess, you know holding on to religion and guns and, um, so something about he being there in San Francisco.”

  2. Palin is poison

    Maybe she ought to try some of that truth serum on herself. She has been bearing false witness too many times and will have to answer for it someday.

    Everybody except her 'base' is far left compared to her. Even moderates like myself find her views way too far to the right. Extremism is dangerous for our country.

    If by 'far-left' you mean the majority of the country supporting Barack Obama, then yes, Governor Palin, they are about to take over. And then you can go back to violating ethics laws and abusing your power in Alaska.

    And you're stupid enough to trust ANYTHING this crook says??

    The report states: "I find that Governor Sarah Palin Abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.”

    BTW, what's on her medical report she's afraid of having us see???

    Every time she opens her mouth she loses a chance to shut up. She needs to go back and finish grade school. Then at least she can deliver her garbage in an articulate way

    I'm going to pray all day that Palin and McCain lose this election.
    They are unfit to hold any public office!
    And the ONLY reason they get away with all their lies and slander against Senator Obama is because they're republicans. AND, if they were true christians they would never be saying the things they're saying.
    Both are shameful!
    And now they have the plumber joe guy on Fox News saying Obama isn't patriotic.
    John McCain is the worst person in the world for allowing this vile campaign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    "remember it was there that he talked about, there you go, the bitter clingers, the cling-ons, all of us, I guess, you know holding on to religion and guns and, um, so something about he being there in San Francisco.”

    The cling-ons??? Klingon Barbie, anyone? Ha ha ha ha he.

    Please, madam, we are adults. Talk to us like adults about the ISSUES. Your fear-mongering tactics are not what this UNITED States of America stands for. We believe in FREEDOM to have differing opinions in this country! Stop attacking people for having different points of view than you!

    What Palin did not tell you is that with a victory for her and McCain, the FAR RIGHT wing of the republican party is getting ready to take over. We have experiened 6 years of a republican lead white house and congress, it was disasterous! Give me a break, she is the sinner casting the first stone. How about those medical records? Hiding the fact that YOU INDEED had an abortion or you DID NOT have the child you claim is yours and it IS your daughters? Give me a break, go tell your lies back in Alaska where people believe them 80% of the time.

    liberals are dangerous because they refuse to admit when their side is wrong, regardless of the facts in the matter.

    no democrats have called out charlie rangel on his false tax filings, yet THIS IS THE GUY WHO WRITES THE TAX CODES.

    Yet NOBODY calls for his resignation.

    Not that republicans are any better- I'm a libertarian who just renounced my republican party membership.

    When you can't admit your side is wrong at least some of the time, you are a dangerous ideological zealot.

    **Faux News

    Release your medical statements? Or do you not want everyone to expose how big of a fake you are. Not releasing your medical records is fine but don't say for months that you are. Or do you not want that negative attention for several months?

    Palin's wardrobe – $155,000
    Palin jetsetting around the country – $1,000,000
    John McCain loosing because of Palin – Priceless

    I can't wait to see the loon on his face tomorrow.

    WHAT??? Is this even a language?? I can never understand what this woman is saying...can someone explain?

    What about your phone conversation with "Sarkozy" last Saturday morning, Sarah?

    Maybe everyone in America should hear THAT tape.

    The startegy is to hammer at this 2 days before the election before anyone could do the research and discover McSame supports the very same technology. It's a cheap, Bush-league (pun intended) tactic. And why keeping attacking San Francisco? Are they not Americans up there in you know, California, the San Francisco area, up there near Alcatraz with the seals and the gay marriages?

    Give me a break.

    Vote for change. Vote for our children's future. Vote Obama/Biden and be done with the Republican attack machine, once and for all.

    Palin is far right ...i do not like her divisive stategy and of course the republicans who think they have a patent on Christianity will agree with her......the right wing is very divisive..It's a shame because the son God wouls not act the way some of these "christians" have behaved in this election....I would rather have a party that has my back than the one that only considers a certain group of people as the "right people" to lead.

    This woman will reap the whirlwind she has sown. She is reprehensible and will go down as one of the most vile political figures in US history.

    Even Bush didn't go this far.

    I hope upon hope Alaksa goes to Obama and that Palin will subsequently be on trial for her abuses of power and Lord knows what else she's done up in Alaska. She deserves nothing less.

    Obama/Biden 2008/2012.

    McCain/Palin administration day one:
    "Ok Sarah, lets try this again...this code is for our nuclear arsenal,
    this key is to launch the ballistic missles...you got that, are you sure?"

    Republicans, you better be careful what you ask for....
