The Feds should have privatized Fanny and Freddie, not taken them over. Running the mortgage market is not part of the government's job according to the Constitution. One day later, now the auto biz asks for Fed support. It's a slippery slope if failing businesses can run to the Feds (eg our wallets).

Kristol: "McCain didn’t just pick a politician who could appeal to Wal-Mart Moms. He picked a Wal-Mart Mom." It's refreshing. I tire of these elites who always are certain that they know what's best for me.
Related: Tammy on Palin (via Insty), a quote:
The party has moved from taking the female vote for granted to outright contempt for women. That's why Palin represents the most serious conservative threat ever to the modern liberal claim on issues of cultural and social superiority. Why? Because men and women who never before would have considered voting for a Republican have either decided, or are seriously considering, doing so.
They are deciding women's rights must be more than a slogan and actually belong to every woman, not just the sort approved of by left-wing special interest groups.
Palin's candidacy brings both figurative and literal feminist change. The simple act of thinking outside the liberal box, which has insisted for generations that only liberals and Democrats can be trusted on issues of import to women, is the political equivalent of a nuclear explosion.
