Palin eyes 'Take Back the 20' targets
The Politico ^ | September 23, 2010 | Alex Isenstadt

Posted on 09/23/2010 1:21:01 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is commemorating the six-month anniversary of the passage of health care reform with a new campaign targeting 20 House Democrats who backed the legislation.

Palin has launched “Take Back the 20,” an online effort in which she asks supporters to join her “in standing against those who stood with Obama and Pelosi in voting for this disastrous bill.”

The campaign focuses on Democrats from 20 districts John McCain won in 2008 – with Palin urging, “Now we can vote against them.”

On Palin’s target list is a slate of vulnerable freshmen Democrats, including Florida Rep. Suzanne Kosmas, Arizona Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, Colorado Rep. Betsy Markey, Ohio Rep. John Boccieri, Pennsylvania Rep. Kathleen Dahlkemper, and Virginia Rep. Tom Perriello.

But Palin is also taking fire at a handful of vulnerable Democratic veterans, including Florida Rep. Allen Boyd, Indiana Rep. Baron Hill, South Carolina Rep. John Spratt, and West Virginia Rep. Nick Rahall.

The former GOP vice-presidential contender is also wading into several open seat races, including Arkansas 2nd District, Indiana’s 8th District, Tennessee’s 6th District, and West Virginia’s 1st District.

The site allows supporters to connect with the Facebook and Twitter pages of the GOP candidates in each targeted race and invites them to contribute to Sarah PAC, her political action committee.

Palin announced the launch of the site on her Twitter page, writing: “Lies, Damned Lies – Obamacare 6 Months Later; It’s Time to Take Back the 20!”

"Facebook and Twitter?"

Wow... you do realize that these are platforms to reach people, right?

You can continue to be stubborn and ignorant and lose HUGE in elections or adapt.

Here in California I’m helping Van Tran beat the racist Loretta Sanchez. He is only behind by two points. This one is doable and has not been on the radar screen. It should be.

Twitter sucks. It makes otherwise literate folks write like twits.

I'll never support a system that causes literate folks to rape the English language.

Twitter blows goats.

That was my second choice for an FR handle.

But who knows what they were thinking in 2001?

Boy I like this idea! It’s called “Accountability”.

(Or when Gov. Palin puts you in the crosshairs, it’s called “soiling ones raiment”!

Twitter = writing like a texting teen.

No thanks.

I'll also pass on rampant faggotry and cutting yourself because you are sad.

Do you support those things as well?

Sarah Palin has 2.2 million Facebook followers. When is the last time more that two people paid any attention to you?

Do you consider yourself a "follower"?

When is the last time more that two people paid any attention to you?

I think the word you want is "than".

Do you suppose that if someone has "followers" then they should be followed?

Really?

Sieg Heil.
