Art Chance didn’t get a pony from Sarah either and I don’t see him moping about it.

Seriously, this is some petulant whining from the Andrew Sullivan caucus. The notion that Palin isn’t a legitimate voice because she has (gasp!) a speechwriter is a notion that is new in history, but I suppose only applies to Republicans.

I actually suspect that Palin wrote large parts of this. This is why politicians employ research interns and speechwriters. One of the problems with the Washington Democrats, including the people in the Administration, is that they cannot concede that Palin is a reasonably intelligent woman.

Rock on Sara!!!

Maybe a few members of the GOP’s old line will stand up and speak out now????

I grew up in WV, although I am not from there.

However, I still have family there, Personally, I cannot fathom why someone would want to live there. If you don’t like working in either a saw mill or a ski resort, you don’t have a job. And there is NOTHING to do. I concede however, to some people, that may be the appeal. Slow living, not much stress, 4 seasons, etc.

But the thing that I respect the most about that state are its people (Byrd and Rockefeller, not withstanding). They are, for the most part, straight talkers, telling you like it is - or at least how they see it. Common Sense beats out 99 cents any day. And this is how Ms. Palin works. If it quacks - its a duck (or a Democrat). Why not call it a duck?

So, Ms. Palin, you had my vote last November, and you continue to have my support now. Although, to a bunch of “high-fallootin” Yanks you may appear and sound unintelligent, those of us who do not hear your accent, but rather listen to your words and see your works know better. And, there are more of us than there are of them.

Keep calling them ducks, don’t mince words, and never compromise your ideals.

Obama to Endorse Public Plan in Speech

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125240777810092069.html

Democratic plans call for requiring most Americans to carry health insurance. Failure to comply could cost families as much as $3,800 a year, according to a new Senate proposal.

(So much for that I won’t raise your taxes talk. This plan will just take America don’t even faster.)

If you have not read the bill then do so this weekend….
It has IRS triggers, it has Social Security triggers,
as a matter of fact - HR 3200 sounds a lot like
propaganda from the Communist Party USA site.

God bless her. I wish our elected Republicans in Congress would talk so honestly and forthrightly.

….pretty clear to me that the Democrats are going through with this monstrosity anyway. Both Reid and Pelosi came out of the White House saying they had the votes. A few Rinos will vote with them giving them some cover and probably some Blue Dogs will vote against final passage but not enough to stop it. We have had a couple months of euphoria thinking we were winning the war but unfortunately it was just an insurrection against the powers that be.

I am sad for our country today and mad at the GOP for letting a bunch of Socialists get control.

However, on the page next to it, the WSJ has a good editorial about “BaucusCare”… What worries me is although my company pays 100% for our health care, I’m 25 and rather get the higher salary than my health care paid for, but living in MA, I have the mandatory coverage law. My beef is that if I don’t care to get insurance, why the hell should I pay a penalty to MA and then another penalty to the Feds? My liberty trampled on and my “right to privacy” to do what I want with my health seems it’ll be sacrificed.

And I’ve been a fan ever since.

The Messs-i-yah was on the tube saying he will make it CLEAR to the American people just what his plan is about. First of all, I’m insulted that he somehow thinks the avg American does not ALREADY understand his stupid plan. Second, like Spartan4Life said above, it doesn’t matter who understands what, they’re going to pass it anyway.

The example was given (I forget where) that Alabamians have only one choice, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, for healthcare ins, which is more or less true. When I paid for health care ins privately, I didn’t like having to shell out $400 to $600 per month with very high deductibles just for the two of us. However, the only other choice is NOT a gubmint plan.

How about interstate healthcare ins competition? I’d be willing to bet that would drive down costs and it would likely require only the stroke of a pen to enact. No new taxes. No Marxist politburo. No czars or commissars. Simple.

Of course, no gubmint power boost either, so the Dems don’t like. I think a lot of middle class Dems believe that since they voted for the Mess-i-yah, the degradations and depredations of Obamacare somehow won’t affect them. They better think again. Useful idiots become useless eaters soon enough.

From “hot school marm” to “party principal”.

The quitter, the one who should just go away, the ponder free zone that doesn’t read, she who shall not be named.

The conservative asset that suicidal conservatives want to discredit and censor. That person?

The WSJ editorial does refer to it as the “nonpartistan Congressional Budget Office”, after all. Whose mistake was that? Who knows, but that hardly matters when you’re attacking someone in politics.

Gotta say, I had the same reaction to the “death panels” sentence — the feeling that she was twitting because she could, with a wink and a smile at the inevitable apoplexy of her opponents.

Fellow Palin Patriots, please Endorse Texas Governor Rick Perry just like Sarah Palin did by becoming a Perry Home Headquarters, http://hq.rickperry.org/join/n7zz2, thanks!
