In September 2008, McCain suspended his campaign to go to Washington to help negotiate a government response to the financial crisis, resulting in a $700 billion bailout bill. And here is what Palin says in Going Rogue about the bailouts, on page 270.
[T]he House of Representatives rejected a Bush-backed economic bailout plan in a vote in which two-thirds of Republicans voted no. The impression this made on the electorate was not helpful to our cause. Millions of Americans were poised to go bankrupt or lose their savings, and the perception was that Republicans had failed to respond.
I dont think you can avoid the conclusion that Palin supported the bailout package. If a Palin supporter doesnt know this, its perfectly legitimate to find out why. And yet The Weekly Standard, not alone in the conservative media, takes this exchange and makes it all about a brave 17-year-old girl battling back against an ambush from MSNBC.
One can fill an encyclopedia with the crap Palin supporters don't know about their Castro-emulating Goddess.
