...and 3rd most emailed.

Not bad for a "dumb undereducated hick" from outside the Beltway, or whatever it is liberal are calling her these days.

btw, Palin left Alaska's governorship with Standard & Poor's, the credit rating agency, giving Alaska kudos and he highest rating for fiscal management. Compare that to some blue states.

She doesn't have a Harvard Law degree, but I wonder how she'd perform as President compared to Mr. Obama.

I'm guessing Palin wouldn't budget $9 trillion + in more debt over the next 10 years.

Just a hunch.

We’d probably also have a real recovery — businesses hiring and expanding because they wouldn’t be as terrified as they are now about a high-tax, high-regulation, heavily unionized future. Another hunch.

Perhaps Jib Jab could do a video like the Dancing Itos, except it would be the Lying Obamas...(dancing while lying).
Each a differenyt lie, with the finish having all the different Lying Obamas crowding out of the screen.

(Could also add in other big fat DemoLiars with *their* quotes to cameo...Pelosi with her drain the swamp quote, being chased along with Rangel, though the scenes by reporters, Hillary running around dodging Eastern European snipers, Bill behind a desk with a head of black hair bouncing up and down from below the desk, Daschle cutting deals with big Pharma, Gore stuffing his pockets with money from Chinese and handing out grants to “Warming”

You get the gist... >Bo) con men...

He was on the Today Show... Rush played part of it today and took him to task for his comments about Palin and Wilson... basically McCain doesn’t agree with either one of them that Obama is lying about the healthcare plan... or that it will cover illegals (something Boehner already debunked this morning).

We were discussing Obama's speech this morning over breakfast. A couple asked where we'd be had McCain won. I suggested perhaps not much different than today. The Democrats would likely still control Congress. The healthcare bills would likely be the same (remember, they drafted them, not the administration). And with McCain's penchant for bipartisanship and cross-the-aisle outreach, he'd very possibly be favorable to them. Not only that, but there would likely be a number of RINOs also on the healthcare side.

McCain has NO ability to show loyalty to ANYONE except himself and the Democrats. This is why the media wanted McCain to win the nomination so badly, McCain has no spine and the media knew it. The second McCain got the nomination everyone in the press started doing cartwheels. McCain can’t even defend his own running mate, who is absolutely RIGHT about Death Panels. What a troll McCain turned out to be. I can’t even stomach looking at him anymore

I think a POTUS JM would have been the death of the R Party and likely the Conservatives in this country. I did vote for him but tend to excuse that with his VP pick.
Obama has given us the worst and the best of times, we will have to do the best we can with that!

I’m convinced if McCain had become President, it would have been the end of the GOP, he would have destroyed it(Not like it’s in great shape now but you know what I mean). And we wouldn’t have seen Sarah Palin in the White House either, he would have sent her away to a different country or something to work, because all know with him crossing that aisle, Sarah would NOT have gone for that. If I had just woken up from a coma and had no clue who McCain was, I would think he was a Democrat, he acts like one, talks like one, behaves like one

Note how the Bamster must expend tremendous amounts of energy to counter her little pin-pricks on the WSJ and Facebook. Kinda reminds me of a Muhammad Ali fight. Means he’ll probably keel over and die the next time Sarah gets ten minutes with Greta Van Susteren.

I tend to agree with the two of you, although I'd like to take it a step further. A JM administration would mean far more bipartisanship in Congress, compared to the hostile camps that have developed over the past 8 months. One could conclude that this would mean an even greater threat to America's freedoms. We wouldn't have the GOP as aligned as it it (for what that's worth...), and we'd have a "friend" of the Democrats as POTUS. Not a pretty thought. Sarah, as you state, would be marginalized.

Frankly, I'm glad she's where she's at; not VPOTUS, not Governor of Alaska, a free and independent Sarah who's more than willing to speak coherently on the issues.

Democrats’ Health Care Bills Do Not Require Citizenship Verification

Thursday, September 10, 2009

By Susan Jones, Senior Editor

Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., watches President Barack Obama deliver a speech on health care reform at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)

(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Joe Wilson’s shout-out Wednesday night came in response to President Obama’s claim that illegal immigrants would not be covered by the Democrats’ health care plan.

“There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants,” Obama said. “This, too, is false — the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.”

"You lie!" Wilson (R-S.C.) yelled, drawing frowns from the podium.

Was Obama lying?

Republicans, in a post-speech “fact-check,” suggested that Obama is stretching the truth:

“Nothing in any of the Democrat bills would require individuals to verify their citizenship or identity prior to receiving taxpayer-subsidized benefits—making the President’s promise one that the legislation itself does not keep,” the House Republican conference wrote in a “Myth vs. Fact” news release.

But Republican Sen. John McCain told NBC’s “Today” show on Thursday that Obama’s health care reforms do not apply to people who come to the United States illegally.

“They do not, as far as I can see, nor should they,” McCain said.

McCain also disagreed with his former running mate Sarah Palin that the president’s plan would create death panels.

”No, but there is a $500-billion ‘savings’ in Medicare which has seniors concerned, and in other countries, where they’ve cut back on spending on health care and then health care is rationed – then similar things have happened. Americans are concerned about that – they have a right to be concerned about it,” McCain said.

The senator also noted that Obama is counting on $500 billion in Medicare savings -- “without any meaningful medical malpractice reform.”

McCain dismissed Obama’s call for tort reform “demonstration projects” in the states. Those pilot projects would not be part of a health care reform bill. According to McCain, “We all know we need medical malpractice reform.”

Both McCain and the House Republican Conference disagreed with Obama’s contention that “nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have.”

If the government option is adopted by your employer, and you have employer-provided insurance, then you are not going to be able to keep your current coverage, McCain said. “So that’s false also.”

The House Republican Conference pointed to independent experts who have warned that the Democrats’ proposed legislation “would result in millions of Americans losing the coverage they have.” The Congressional Budget Office believes several million would lose their current coverage, while the Urban Institute puts the number at 47 million, and the Lewin Group says the number could total as many as 114 million.

On Wednesday night, Obama promised, “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits—either now or in the future. Period.”

But Republicans say Obama’s math does not add up.

“There is very little, if anything, in this package that calls for real spending reductions, and a trillion dollars is basically what it’s going to cost. -- and that’s according to the Congressional Budget Office,” Sen. McCain said Thursday morning.

“And finally, since the president has not argued against any of these pork barrel projects as he said he would, spending is way up over last year, and ear-marking and pork-barreling continues – his record so far does not indicate any fiscal discipline.”

House Republicans note that the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has found that H.R. 3200 would increase the budget deficit by $239 billion over ten years—and “would probably generate substantial increases in federal budget deficits” thereafter. The Peter G. Peterson Foundation released a study which found that in its second decade, H.R. 3200 would increase federal deficits by more than $1 trillion.

This is one more reason I don’t trust all these polls that show her with low favorable numbers. Her Facebook has grown by approx 320,000 in just since she announced she was stepping down, she always is at or near the top among every poll about potential candidates in 2012, bloggers, and news sites add her name to articles just to attract hits, and everywhere she goes she gets a huge crowd. You watch and see, her book will debut as #1 based on pre-release sales alone, and will sell hundreds of thousands of copies, maybe more than a million copies.
