From your source:
“Sarah Palin tweets:
Obviously Obama is so very, very wrong on the economy & spins GOP tax cut goals; so fiscal conservatives: we expect you to fight for us & America’s solvency.”
-
“What is she talking about? It is obvious that an extension of the Bush tax cuts are wrong? Or is it obvious that Obama is adopting ideas that were once Republican positions? If the latter, it should be a good thing, one would think. This is Palin at her worst — reflexively anti-deal making, grandstanding, imprecise and unreasoned. If she has a specific policy argument — e.g. the payroll tax “costs” too much for too little job growth — then you’d think she, who has been accused of being light on policy knowledge, would want to spell . . er . . . tweet that out.”
I sure hope she does more than “tweets” on it!!!
Rubin’s criticism is reflexively socialist: tax -cuts bad etc.
Also she seems to have deliberately forgotten that Twitter has a character limit.
Which means that they should oppose the deal, right?
She is not out in front and leading on this issue. She is following. The first Republican I heard come out against it was Hugh Hewitt yesterday, not long after the deal was announced. He interviewed, among others, Jim DeMint. Hugh told DeMint about his objections to the proposal and also to a couple of chairmen-designate in the House. Later in the day DeMint came out against the deal. So did Mark Levin. Palin is late to the party on this issue.
