The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.

That reference to death panels caused a storm of protest from Obama's supporters and Palin haters. But it only took seven days for them to capitulate.

Wall Street Journal covered the story under the title Palin Wins . Everybody ran for cover. The sub-title for the article was If she's dim and Obama is brilliant, how did he lose the argument to her? But Palin is not finished yet. Attack, attack attack. She just posted another ballistic missile

Troubling Questions Remain About Obama's Health Care Plan

I join millions of Americans in expressing appreciation for the Senate Finance Committee’s decision to remove the provision in the pending health care bill that authorizes end-of-life consultations (Section 1233 of HR 3200). It’s gratifying that the voice of the people is getting through to Congress; however, that provision was not the only disturbing detail in this legislation; it was just one of the more obvious ones.

We need to have another 2-3 sound bites like that ‘death panel’; something that can easily be understood by ordinary people and not vague. Calling the 0bamacare ‘socialism’, ‘not constitutional’, etc. are examples of the latter.

We live in a sound bite world. Sarah understands this. Conservatives need to understand that the old stale words of yesterday, e.g. socialism, communism, unconstitutional etc. just won't cut it.
