I have no doubt the Republicans in power will keep giving the Democrats inches until they have the whole mile. That afterall has been their ‘winning’ technique for everything the Dems want. Sliding slowly into socialism has been the Republicans practice and plan. Thanks, but no thanks.
Palins emotional and spiritual reaction to Obama-care is honest. She has a downs syndrome child who will be refused treatments because he is ‘unproductive’ and ‘unworthy.’ That is evil and it’s definitely right to name it.
“It’s a shame that your parents can be turned aside from rational thinking because the media has convinced them that Palin is a joke. I’m sure they think Rush is a joke as well. Maybe the dems could combine those two and say, ‘do you people really want to be led by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin?’
That should do it for your folks. They’ll be back on the bandwagon before you know it.”
It is a shame. If you only listen to the NYT, CNN, etc., you become brainwashed and don’t even realize that you are being lied to. When I talk to liberals, I suggest that they actually read the source document (the bill, the speech, the SCOTUS decision, etc.), then read a liberal source (NYT) and then read a conservative source (WSJ). If you do this, you can easily spot the lies, if not you become brainwashed.
Actually it was Sarah that originally made the comment that she could see Russia from her porch, but there was no reason to make a big deal of it like the media did. It was no different than if you asked me where I lived and I said “I live in WA State, and I can see Mt. Rainier out my front window. The media just twisted it into something it wasn’t just like they always do.
Well I am making assumptions but so are you, One thing I know is that “death panels” is now being reported on all the major networks. I don’t think it is a big leap to think that some of those in the muddled middle will wonder what that means.
And why you think anything Sarah has to say isn’t going to be twisted and ridiculed is confusing, What has she ever said that hasn’t been. She is using their own blind fury as a tool to make sure what she thinks is getting overwhelming media coverage, I just don’t see that as bad. It will be spun regardless.
Palin has promised to work tirelessly for the families with special needs children. She is speaking not as a politician but as an advocate for these families. They know what Obama-care will mean to them. No treatment for the un-productive and un-worthy.
Obama-care is the plan of a man with no soul, no spirit, no compassion, no love. It is evil and she is right to call him out.
Sarah Palin NEVER said that, Tina Fey did.
That is a lie, she never made that statement. If you don't believe me go find it and post it here I will gladly acknowledge that I was wrong.
Here’s my argument:
1) Indepedents are already coming to the conclusion the Obamacare is bad.
2) As a result of the media, many independents view Palin as not credible.
3) Palin’s generalized comments about Obamacare could potentially cause wavering independents to question their conclusion that Obamacare is bad.
Yes you would have to be a pretty weak minded person to change your mind just because Palin opposes Obamacare and you believe she is not credible. But you’d also have to pretty susceptible to propaganda in the first place if you’ve allowed yourself to become convinced she’s a dumbbell.
LMAO!
Perhaps the most convoluted logic ever seen here.
“LMAO!

Perhaps you could be so kind as to explain why you think that?
Regards to point 3.
MSNBC pushed the Birthers angle a lot two weeks ago. In fact, they’re still are pushing it in an attempt to link the Birthers to any opposition to the Messiah. Yet the health care bill is still on shaky ground. Anti-Palin independents, who will are dismissive of her in the first place, will ignore her opinions.
What could happen is the media will ask every GOP Congresscritter if they agree with Palin. The standard GOP reponse will be “Palin may have been over the top, but her concerns about elderly rationing are legitimate.” If a GOP Congresscritter bashes Palin, expect a reduction in donations for the RNC.
What is wrong with the current direction of the town hall opposition? You are basically saying the same thing I am saying. Let the grassroots handle this. This needs to be faceless as far as I am concerned.
The media demonized her for it, which was totally unwarranted, but she DID say it.

Kevorkian is evil.
He never cared about the mental health of those he killed.
He never cared about undue pressure, from other family members, before he killed anyone.

I won’t argue with any of that, but I still say he is far too benign for the aims of the marxist in the white house. If you prefer you could say he is not malignant enough, either way I doubt he would serve their purposes.
That video shows exactly what she actually said, that you can see Russia from land in Alaska. Like I said she never said she can see Russia from her porch. She stated the you can see Russia from Land in Alaska.
The Little Diomede island which belongs to Alaska and is inhabited though sparsely is about 2.5 miles from Big Diomede which belongs to Russia. Easily viewable even with limited visibility, And mainland Russia is something like 25 miles away which is visible when conditions are excellent. So what she said is correct
She said, "You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska"..a TRUE STATEMENT.
You need to get your hearing checked.
Furthermore, her comment was ruthlessly edited to make sure it was taken out of context.
********************
Sarah NEVER said that.
Apparently, you’re wrong.
Bullshit! Palin said in parts of Alaska you can see Russia, and it's true. Ever hear of the Diomede islands? She never said "you can see Russia from her porch." Amazing how the liberal media has duped people.
