Seriously? Sarah Palin Is a "Joe Six-Pack American"
Palin explains what kind of American she represents
"It's time that normal Joe Six-Pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency, and I think that that's kind of taken some people off guard...but it's motivation for John McCain and I to work that much harder to...put government back on the side of the people of Joe Six Pack like me."
—Sarah Palin on the Hugh Hewitt show

Joe Six Pack
If she would be willing to represent Joe 12 pack, I might vote for her. 6 pack? She must hate binge drinkers.
Hmmm..
What is wrong with the right pandering to J6Pack? Doesn't it just serve to help level the playing field?
Joe Six Pack
The use of the term "Joe Six Pack" to refer to the common middle class American is derrogatory. Palin doesn't realize what she's saying, as if most middle class American's were a bunch of uneducated beer drinkers. Palin's phrase is insensitive and reflects that she is indeed a "Joe Six Pack type" as far as her own mentality. McCain with his hot-head temper and erratic behavior isn't much more stately. These two are hardly the model of what America should be striving for as far as higher educational and cultural standards.
