Editor,
At the risk of sounding sexist, how did the health care debate get hijacked by an overgrown teenage girl on Facebook? Sarah Palin quit her job as governor of Alaska to become an unpaid right-wing blogger, yet still has the power to disrupt any rational discourse. Possibly related: How did someone like Palin even rise to the spotlight in the first place? Her rise was born in the waning days of the contentious Democratic primaries between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. After the controversial Democratic National Convention Rules Committee decision to split in half the delegates from Michigan and Florida, many Clintonistas vowed that they would back McCain in the general election, calling themselves PUMAs (Party Unity My Ass).
When Obama did not select Clinton as his VP, McCain’s strategists figured they could capitalize on the discontent by placing a female on the ticket. Sarah Palin had been on the city council in her hometown of Wasilla and became mayor at age 32. In Alaska, while she was controversial in some respects — such as her attempt to fire the Wasilla town librarian, her views on abortion and the controversy of Wasilla charging victims for rape kits — she was also outside of the state’s Republican establishment or clique. She dropped a dime on the state GOP chairman when they both served on the state’s Oil and Gas Conservation Commission: He was using state time and money to conduct party business. When she became governor, she championed the ethics law that would later be the basis of her resignation and imposed what she would later call socialism, or wealth redistribution, on oil companies in Alaska.
McCain felt she would serve three purposes: attract disaffected PUMAS, shore up his right flank (the base) and reinforce his image as a maverick.
However, Palin turned out to be either a sociopath or a psychopath. She was ill-informed about many issues, including the achievements of her own running mate, and put forth a campaign of lies and distortions such as Obama’s supposed ties to William Ayers, a radical anti-war activist in the Weather Underground of the late 1960s and 1970s. Her brief career was also marked by her flip-flops on the “Bridge to Nowhere” and the debt she left Wasilla through misuse of eminent domain laws regarding the land the town’s sportsplex sits on.
Now, she is dissembling again, referring to “death panels” as being a part of the president’s health care reform proposal. This claim has been disproven, yet it proved potent enough for Congress to remove the provision that sparked the false claim in the first place: Medicare would reimburse doctors who provide end-of-life counseling.
The question is, why is anyone listening to this person? She holds no office. She is not involved in public policy in any way whatsoever, and she is not even a good pundit. While there are many details that need answers about Obama’s health care reform plan, the discussion needs to be driven by intelligence, facts and people actually responsible for policy, not by some overgrown teenage girl gossiping on the Web.
The Daily Loco, eh?
Envy does not become them.
We Americans are always asking the same thing about morons like you. Why the hell are you always listening to David Axelgrease and Rahm Emanuel?
“Palin is a sociopath, shouldn’t have authority in public policy”
Now that Palin is a private citizen—she can sue the pee-whiny sauce out of this idiot for slander.
The writer is a very small person.
Because Sarah is way smarter than liberals are?
Now she is free to speak her mind... unencumbered by bogus ethic complaints...
Democrats wore t-shirts calling Sarah Palin a C**T (the sexist equivalent of the N-word) and he’s worried that he’s breaking new ground by being sexist in his attacks on her?
This is a great example of why the phrase “Angry Liberal” is redundant.
Actually, libel, since the comments in question were in print and not verbal or oral.
His membership is probably small too.
Remember that this is only your opinion, and not exactly supported by everyone. In fact, I would go so far as to say that many people have a misinformed view of Sarah Palin and her record, including you, since you so freely cast aspersions without presenting a shred of proof to back them up. You have asked “why is anyone listening to this person” (Sarah Palin). The better question would be, why should anyone listen to you?
Yes, you’re right...my bad. Worked too long today.
No wories there. it's a lot harder to cover up "Gay Left wing Moonbat" than you think.
Those sour grapes make a sweet whine....
The author sounds all “wee wee’d up.”
The question is, why is the Loco writer so upset about and so quick to dismiss Sarah Palin. Me thinks, they “doth protest too much.”

According to the enlightened president at the University of Colorado (whatever her name is), that “C” word is a term of endearment. At least that was the excuse she used when they were getting hammered in an investigation and receiving negative media attention on the use of that very word.
A nothing University newspeak editor shows their greatest accomplishment is masturbation.
