that could be understood; nobody else had been able to. I’ve never denied that she is a consumate politician of the finger in the wind sort. On this one, she put one in their wheelhouse.

That can be both a strength and a weakness (sometimes she oversimplifies, IMO), but in this case, she did a great job of getting to the core of the debate.

The statement, in and of itself, is inaccurate, that much is true. However, the reality is that, by omission and through the use of “community standards” to judge treatment, the plan put forward by House Democrats will guarantee that rationing of this type occurs. Truth be told, Mrs. Palin’s leap isn’t really a leap at all, if you look at the incentives apart from those in section 1233 of the bill; rather, it’s the logical conclusion of this sort of program.

be such an asset to the movement.

I haven’t given 2 seconds thought to the 2012 race and don’t plan on it for about, oh, 2 more years, but whether Sarah’s the real thing or a faux conservative, she knows how to simplify issues, she knows how to relate them to the average Joe, and, most of all, she refuses to play the media’s game. This was a perfect example – they attacked….the lipsticked pit bull didn’t whimper and snivel and backtrack like half the GOP elected officials, she doubled down.

I’ll take that approach every day for the next 15 months.

That is what each of us must continue to do. What Palin and others have shown is that will exposure, these reform bills will crumble. Piece by piece.
Sect. 1233 is gone. The bill remains. It and the other four still offer an end resulting in government bureaucracy decision-making.
These bills represent the “death panels” not just one small section.
This is a great win for those of us that want honest reform. But it is not the carrot.

Teleprompter Boy himself is on record, several times, talking about how 80 per cent of future healthcare spending will be spent on the elderly, how it doesn’t “make sense” to spend money on a hip replacement for an elderly patient, how it might “make more sense” to encourage elderly people in pain to just be put pain medication rather than seeking expensive medical treatments, etc.

So, the single most important “cost saving” mechanism in Teleprompter Boy’s socialized medicine bill (according to him) has now just been gutted from the bill in the Senate.

Caused by a single analysis on a Facebook page by a woman chastised by many for “giving up” and for not “knowing the issues.”

I think she just may have redeemed herself in the eyes of many. Especially those in their twilight years.

For those wondering what she was going to accomplish by “quitting” the governorship, I think we just witnessed her first accomplishment.

Thank you.

So let me get this straight.

Of all the pundits, bloggers, and politicians that are speaking out against Obamacare the most damage inflicted to it came from the one woman who was considered by the establishment to be as low on the healthcare debate team depth chart as humanly possible.

So the “intellectually curious” establishment’s campaign to destroy her and her family to the point that she quit actually opened up enough free time in her life to actually READ this 1,000 page pile of garbage and comment on it thus leading us into this point

Dom’t blame us Washington. Your own ignorance and disconnect with your own constituents is what turn “Palin the Governor” into “Palin the crusader” to begin with. She’s your problem now! The rest of us patriots over here will sit back and watch to see just how deep this rabbit hole goes.
