Palin should distance herself - from McCain

John McCain's team will ruin Sarah Palin. I have no doubt.

I also have no doubt that Palin would not be supporting this massive socialism-tinged bailout bill if she was not having to parrot John McCain.

McCain is not a conservative. Said it many times. What he cares most about is bi-partisanship, which generally means Republicans selling out to appease Democrats. So, he's supporting this atrocious bailout to be bi-partisan, and dragging Sarah Palin down with him.

McCain could seize the moment of the bailout's historic failure in Congress today. He could champion real reform.

- repeal the Community Reinvestment Act as part of the bailout. It caused the subprime mortgage market, and the resulting implosion of the housing market.

- fix the flawed accounting rules and repeal Sarbanes-Oxley

- demand resignations of those who caused the crisis. Paulson, Dodd, Barney Frank. Pelosi, while you're at it.

But, he won't. He'll get in front of a microphone and blame House Republicans, because that's what he does. He wants the media to love him and that's how they'll love him. Guaranteed that's what he'll do - by tonight. Count on it.

And, he'll drag Sarah Palin down with him.

Sarah should rock everyone during the debate this week and oppose the bailout. Support a work-out. Demand reforms. That would shake things up.

Sarah Palin for President. Heck with McCain.
