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."

Hi,Alaska residents each get a yearly check for about $2,000 from oil revenues, plus an additional $1,200 pushed through by Palin last year to take advantage of rising oil prices. Any sympathy the governor of Alaska expresses for folks in the lower 48 who are suffering from high gas prices or can't afford to heat their homes is strictly crocodile tear. your health care, your child's education, the competitiveness and security of our nation? Sarah, I would love to have a beer with you, but as far as leading this country I want a designated driver in the White House moving this country in the right direction!!. Palin and her Grand Old Party do not represent the “Joe Six Packs” of the country, nor do they represent a “maverick” change in policy from the Bush administration, as much as they would like us to believe.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.Why is it that the more educated/metropolitan states vote Democrat and know how to communicate? Sometimes it is hard being tolerant of less educated people who can only construct sentences like Emmy of MA.

If she would be willing to represent Joe 12 pack, I might vote for her. 6 pack? She must hate binge drinkers.

What is wrong with the right pandering to J6Pack? Doesn't it just serve to help level the playing field?
