Governor Palin made this comment the other day in North Carolina:
We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. We believe" -- here the audience interrupted Palin with applause and cheers -- "We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation. This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans. Those who are running our factories and teaching our kids and growing our food and are fighting our wars for us. Those who are protecting us in uniform. Those who are protecting the virtues of freedom."
So how do you define what a “small town”? What is the size of town before it no longer counts? 150, 500, or 1000? The town she comes from has around 5000 so I’m sure it counts. I come from a town that has close to 5 million people, I’m pretty sure Seattle is one of those places that the Governor wouldn’t put on her list of “Best of America”.
Do people actually write this stuff for her or is this like Bush when he goes off script? So I guess my 21 years in defense of the constitution didn’t count because I didn’t come from a small town. The pride I feel in my heart when I see the flag flying some how doesn’t count because I didn't come from a small town. The men and women from large cites cross America who gave their lives in the defense of this country doesn’t count because they came from a large city. Wow so sorry people you just don’t count according to the cover model Gov.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME! This is by far the most ignorant thing I have ever heard. Plus I’m pretty sure I’m offended. Let me think a moment, yup I’m offended. This woman needs to go back to where ever Wasilla is and never leave that town again. Her 15 minutes of fame are up.
She is by far one of the most ignorant politicians I have ever heard.

NOW you're offended? I remember being offended when McCain first announced her as his running mate. I thought is was some kind of a sick joke. At least I hoped it was some kind of sick joke.
That's some bad photoshopping on that cover of Vogue. Was that a real issue?
The sad part is people love her. Kinda like the teenager I saw today with a "yes on 48" bumper sticker or this lady

I guess I don't count either. I grew up in a city of 1 million. I really don't know how she got picked to be a candidate for VP!
