Palin raises cash saying Obama is attacking her family

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said in a fundraising e-mail to supporters Monday that the Democratic ticket has attacked her and her family, and that the McCain campaign needs donations to refute the attacks.

In the e-mail, Palin says she and GOP nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) are the real "reformers" and "mavericks" in the campaign, and they need campaign contributions "before they turn these shameful tactics on others we support."

"Friends, in the course of a few weeks, the Obama-Biden Democrats have launched attack after attack on me, my family and John McCain," the Palin e-mail says. "They're desperate to win and they'll no doubt launch these attacks against other reformers on our ticket."

Palin writes that when she joined McCain's ticket, she knew she "was in for a roller-coaster ride of ups and downs on the campaign trail."

"But I want you to know that I joined John McCain and the others on our ticket in this great election because I'm putting our country first," Palin writes.

A disclaimer at the end of the email notes that the campaign can't accept funds for the election because McCain as accepted federal matching funds to the tune of $84 million.

"However, federal law allows the McCain-Palin Campaign's Compliance Fund to defray legal and accounting compliance costs and preserve the Campaign's public grant for media, mail, phones, and get-out-the-vote programs," the disclaimer said. "Contributions to McCain-Palin Victory 2008 will go to the Compliance Fund, and to participating party committees for Victory 2008 programs."

9. My parents who devoted thier lives to

working with people with disabilities would have had some choice things to say about Palin brandishing that poor Down's syndrome child publicly...let alone dragging him around on planes, etc. These are not the actions of a responsible parent who cares about the development of a special needs child. He needs physical therapy and lots of attention NOW when it will most help. Not to mention that she has cut programs for the handicapped in Alaska.

She is a callous bitch.

they couldn't be that bad, right?

Bill speaks for himself, only.
