Whatever happened to a 1,000 points of light? Remember when Republicans used to encourage people to get active and organize in their community? Or how about President Bush's "faith-based' initiatives? The only candidate talking about that this election cycle is the Democrat, Barack Obama. What we're hearing from the Republican ticket is this:
The crowd cheered when Palin reprised a pithy line from her convention speech that mocked Obama's professional background.
“I guess a small town mayor is sort of like a community organizer only you have actual responsibilities,” she said, responding to critics who accuse her of lacking experience.
This is such a striking slap to the face of all the Reagan Democrats and evangelicals who have clung to the notion that the Republican party supports them in their community organizing.
