Palin warns Obama would create nanny state if elected

From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (CNN) — Campaigning Saturday in Iowa, a state where polls show Barack Obama enjoying a healthy lead just 10 days before the election, Sarah Palin warned that putting Obama in the White House along with Democrats running both chambers of Congress will turn the country into a nanny state. Palin cautioned Iowans that under Obama’s “big government agenda,” their income, property and investments would be “shared with everybody else.” She labeled Obama’s plan to provide tax credits to lower and middle-income wage-earners “the philosophy of government taking more, which is a misuse of the power to tax.”

With audience members shouting “socialist!” throughout her speech, the Alaska governor said that time is running out for Americans to realize the danger of a having a Democrat in the White House.

We're living through the first election in modern history that is about whether to vote for free market fundamentalism, or vote for a change from that fundamentalism. That choice has not been the creation of Obama, but of the Republicans. And should America vote against free market fundamentalism on election day, the GOP will have helped craft a mandate for a progressive economic era.
