When Sarah says "Americans" it sounds like she's talking about foreigners.

[Renew Deal]

I hate the way she uses "Americans." It sounds like she is a foreigner talking about America. It is a little disconcerting considering her secessionist past.

1. Or when Republican politicians talk about "government"

as if they're not part of it. Palin did that twice last night.

2. But she really IS talking about foreigners

The US is just occupying her country. As head of the Alaskan National Guard, does that mean she a collaborator?

3. The pronunciation makes me cringe, too..."Ameeaaricans"...Goes in my ear like an ice pick.

4. All foreigners are not always bad

I've seen her (and McCain) talking about "foreigners who don't like us" so many times, that it makes me sick. Some Europeans (like me) do in fact like America. Some American politicians are rotten, but there are rotten politicians in Europe too. I don't like it when politicians talk about "those foreigners" as if all foreigners are evil. In Europe only politicians to the far-right would do that. Populism + Nationalism = Danger

5. Correct me if I'm wrong: When Biden mentioned McCain's “The Fundamentals Of The Economy Are Strong”

...Sarah jumped in and said McCain was referring to "American workers."

If I heard correctly and this it true, then do we assume now that we're all "economic fundamentals?" :crazy:

6. You're right!

And she has talked about how Alaska is between two different countries - Russia and Canada. I think a lot of Alaskans believe themselves independent from the lower 48 and USA in general.
