(edit: for a more conservative, and less entertaining option, just do the limited gov't thing - see way below)
Palin has a perfect opportunity to blast Obama by attacking him via the media attacks against her.
Here's how.
She shouldn't complain about unfair media coverage. She should say something like ...
The media SHOULD ask questions and look into people's backgrounds. The danger is in UNEQUAL media scrutiny. When one side is treated differently than the other. When one candidate is handpicked by the media over the other in the primaries or in the general election.
There are many questions about Obama that have NEVER been asked or that he's been given a free pass on.
1) Obama has admitted to cocaine use. Why was this hidden under the rug and never even asked as a question by the media? The public should at least be informed and allowed to decide for themselves.
2) Obama tried to excuse his ties to the terrorist Ayers by saying he was 8 yrs. old during the bombings. What kind of an excuse is that? Was he 8 yrs. old when he sought Ayers' political assistance and continued to meet with him?
3) Obama's economic advisors have direct responsibility for the collapse of Fannie and Freddie, even giving themselves big bonuses through fraud. Obama is the number two recipient of money from them. Where are the media questions and scrutiny? Why hasn't he been asked these questions?
4) Obama has exercised bad judgment in selecting his closest political, economic, and spiritual advisors. His selection of Vice President wasn't that bad (ha ha ha). But his choices call into question his judgment when selecting a Cabinet. Whom does he rely upon for advice?
5) How much foreign policy or executive experience does Obama have? He's had a year to polish his words and his theoretical knowledge, but how much real experience does he have?
6) Obama was asked eight questions at a press conference and then he ran away. And that was it. Why does the media think that level of scrutiny is good enough for him, but not for everyone else?
7) In the last debate, Obama was asked which policies he would cut. He had no answer. John McCain did. Ask Obama again. Sen. Biden, which policies would he cut first?
8) Obama keeps saying that he'll tax only the rich and give 95% a break. Yeah, gimmie a break. Doesn't he understand that the taxes will be passed on to you, the consumer, through higher prices? Isn't the price of gas high enough, or do we need to have the gov't add another tax to it? Does it matter if you get taxed directly or indirectly?
9) Obama wants to create more big gov't programs. The more, the merrier. Just why is it that we keep having to BAILOUT OR FIX these big gov't created programs or institutions? Fannie and Freddie. Social Security. Medicare and Medicaid. Welfare. Well, you can add Obama's socialized healthcare to that list.
10) Obama keeps saying that he wanted to send more troops to Afghanistan from Iraq while the war in Iraq was still going badly. Doesn't he realize that the war in Iraq would have lasted longer and we would have suffered more casualties, and yes, even possibly lost the war in Iraq, if we had done that? It's just common sense. You don't worry about burning the roast when the kitchen is on fire.
meh. losing interest, but something along those lines.
could also go into a general riff / theme about how gov't creates problems, underperforms, don't get your money's worth, public schools, blah blah blah.
"DO YOU TRUST BIG GOV'T?"
palin should gesture towards biden.
"then he's your man. vote for him. vote for obama."
"or do you trust small gov't? a limited gov't that solves problems without creating them. a gov't that doesn't create messes that you have to keep bailing out. there are a lot of ideas in washington that may sound good at first - but are terrible when you actually implement them."
"this election is about change. but it's not the kind of change that the media would like you to believe. the change - the choice - is between big gov't bailouts vs. small gov't. a gov't that's too big for its own good or a gov't that's in touch with main street - that trusts in the common sense of the average american."
yadda yadda yadda.
essentially, you want palin to be a symbol of small gov't, main street, common sense vs. big gov't, washington/wall street, highly educated idiots
yadda yadda yadda
edit: more blah blah blah. also, the thing is to attack obama by attacking the media. instead of asking, "what about obama's cocaine use?" you ask ...
"why didn't the media bother to question obama about his cocaine use?"
"why did it take the media so long to ask about his pastor?"
"why hasn't the media pushed more on his connections to ayers?"
"why hasn't the media asked obama about ..."
"why has the media ignored ..."
"why has the media covered up ..."
"why hasn't the media looked into this issue?"
etc.
if biden counters that she's attacking and smearing obama, she should counter that she is not. she is merely pointing out the fact that the media has failed to live up to its responsibility to the american people. they have been directly advocating one candidate over the other. even hillary clinton would agree with me on that. or something along those lines ... i suppose.
bleh, my support for mccain is tepid, but he is lesser of two poopoo heads.
edit edit edit edit: also, she should light her hair on fire as she's eviscerating the media and obama. she should also interrupt biden often throughout the debate by shouting out "c-c-c-c-combo breaker!!!!11!!!" common sense, small town values are sooooo 20th century. wuh the heck am i talkin 'bout? yes. many people think kansas is a myth that sank into the oceans 10,000 yrs ago after they built the pyramids. but kansas does still exist in the hearts of all mankind. and in their music. no.
