Sarah Palin is a Hand Grenade
No Smoke Blown ^ | 08-16-09 | unknown

Posted on 08/17/2009 4:53:03 AM PDT by euram

Sarah has started her new career with a big bang. She called the end-of-life proposals in the health care reform bills government death panels. Suddenly the Senate Democrats say they are taking this out of their proposed bill. Obama tells a child at a town hall meeting, we aren’t going to pull the plug on grandma. Nice. It would have been tactless if the child weren’t the daughter of a big Obama supporter and a plant in the audience with a question. Obama’s town hall meetings are like the jungle ride at Disney, all little tired and not worth the trip.

It’s an okay piece; but the writer needs an editor. For starters he uses the word “repatriations” when he likely means “reparations.”

Give it to him Sarah!

For Obama and his Lib/Progressives, Go Left, Faster Left, Uncontrollably Left, until America has to repent.

Gee, and I thought she was a “quitter”.

Of course she’s a quitter, Carville said so.

Pray for America and Gov Palin

Meanwhile, the Romney-funded, please-let-everyone-NY&DC-at-least-respect-us-in-the-morning snots over at National Review have ganged up behind the group ‘editors’ byline to post an editorial that is disguised behind a rationing discussion—but really a big ol’ willfully ignorant rant against Palin: http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MTM5YmExNzA0OGY5M2E1Y2EzNzcxMDlkZWYzYjZiNzY=.

Have they not read any of Zeke’s recent or early writings? Have they not listened to Obama speak on the topic—or even looked to his NYTimes Snday Magazine interview on the subject for easy reading? Of course, exactly what Palin’s talking about is what Obama has been hovering over for most of his discussions about health care: how much is spent at the end of life, how tough decisions have to be made that wouldn’t survive the political process AND how that’s a reason to have established the healthcare advisory panel that was actually already slipped into Porkulus, but gets put to use in the new legislation.

Argh. This deserves and I imagine will get its own thread, but I couldn’t help venting here now.

Carville springs from a reptilian ancestry, so he can slither back under his rock.

I rarely visit NRO anymore - appears they are walking in lockstep with the RINOs at the RNC.

Sarah is irrelevant.
She quit her government job,
She’s a nobody.

She posts on Facebook.
And nobody notices.
Nobody at all.

The Senate takes out
The “Death Panels” on their own.
Nothing to see here.

Palin’s nobody.
Nobody cares what she says.
Nobody at all...

Sarah Palin will be for the Conservatives what “Mr. Nobody from Nowhere ‘Obama’” was for Liberals in the last national election.

However, SHE will be bringing much MORE with her than he brought to the fight. SHE has first hand and DEMONSTRABLE experience and a record of visible accomplishments gained on the strength of her personal CHARACTER and merit.

Palin is NOT a propped-up, cardboard image just like many others the MSM stamps out by the dozens (read: every other half-a&%ed ‘celebrity of the moment’, pseudo-intellectual, faux ‘persona’, excuse for an entertainer/journalist or ‘hip’ ‘public official’) ... flat, hollow and puerile!!

It really angers the MSM to think she has come as far as she has and accomplished what she has without MSM support AND in spite of MSM efforts to defame her (personally and professionally).

Palin is going to have the kitchen sink thrown at her in the next few years and I only hope she will stand up to all of it.

If Mr. Obama-with NOTHING to recommend him-can make it to the WH, I am certain Sarah Palin can do as well and better ON HER OWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are right about the article and the NRO.

The article also seems quite schizophrenic to me - they seem to argue one way, then turn and argue in another direction.

All in all, a very weak effort in every way by the “Editors”.

All of this reminds me of when the Democrats said Republican policies would kill women and children. Where was the press then?
