*cue sound of hell freezing over*

While our more liberal friends here fret over Palin potentially removing "Heather Has Two Mommies" from our public libraries, yesterday I was unhappy with some of her comments about how a McCain administration would handle Wall Street.

She (and McCain) seem to think that more regulation is the answer. They think the regulatory agencies haven't been doing their job, and that's why these companies are in trouble. I even heard McCain vow that this would not happen again under his tenure. Really, John? You gonna legislate how they invest now?

Enron gave us the disaster that is Sarbanes-Oxley. We don't need another one of those. We need less gov't involved, and to let market forces play their role.

Palin has a touch of a populist in her, and I really don't like that. I can barely stand McCain as it is, so this just reinforces my distaste, but however much I like his running mate, I'm constantly reminded that he'll be the one running the country.

Ugh.
