Sarah Palin's mind-bogglingly incoherent immigration reform critique
Yahoo! News / The Week ^ | June 25, 2013 | Jeb Golinkin, Frum Forum

Posted on 06/25/2013 6:30:28 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Perhaps we should no longer be surprised when the former half-term Alaska governor jabs at GOP colleagues weighs in on public policy. And yet...

It's easy and tiresome to trash Sarah Palin as an uneducated embarrassment to the Republican Party (a party of which I am a member). But when the great anti-intellectual takes ridiculously simple-minded shots at Marco Rubio for supporting immigration reform, something needs to be said.

The Sunshine State News asked the former Alaska governor to comment on immigration reform. She took the opportunity to take a giant swing at Marco Rubio:

Just like they did with ObamaCare, some in Congress intend to "Pelosi" the amnesty bill. They'll pass it in order to find out what's in it. And just like the unpopular, unaffordable ObamaCare disaster, this pandering, rewarding-the-rule-breakers, still-no-border-security, special-interests-ridden, 24-pound disaster of a bill is not supported by informed Americans. [Sunshine State News] Let's take this particular pearl of vapid nonsense sentence by sentence. Right off the bat, Palin manages to set forth two incompatible premises in the same sentence. Her reference to "some in Congress" is clearly a shot at the Republicans looking to push the bill through, the most prominent being a young Tea Party star named Marco Rubio. Yet in taking that shot, Palin makes clear that immigration reform is not at all like ObamaCare in that ObamaCare was defined by the complete and total absence of bipartisan compromise, even during the negotiation phase. Immigration reform was heavily shaped by Republicans and is going to pass (assuming it passes) with multiple Republican votes.

Palin then claims that immigration reform is like ObamaCare because it is expensive. CBO actually disagrees with Palin on this particular point....

Ah the comments of a frat boy trying to sound intelligent and failing. Loser! Nothing he says is original, just a rehash of a Marxist Liberal schooling where he is directed what to think, instead of how to think.
One line all propagandists bring up is that we cannot deport them. History proves them wrong. Eisenhower was able to deport about 1 million illegal aliens a year. The same people that say a fence that keeps out 90% will not work, also say we need stricter gun laws, even if it helps just one child. By the way, illegal aliens kill more people than guns. Over 35 people each DAY are killed by illegal aliens, either through direct murder, or drunken driving. Why is this number not bandied about by the Marxist Libs when they discuss immigration reform?
I think this writer wishes he was as smart and taken as seriously as Palin.

Ann makes some great points in this video.

I dunno why, but I have the sneaking suspicion that if the House refuses to hold a vote on this, that there are going to be some border shenanigans. The derelict-in-chief will have an opportunity to hold the House accountable because “they wouldn’t pass a border security bill” and now “innocent people have paid the price”.

I can see it all playing out...

Screeds by tassel loafered, prissy little punk asses like that make me love Sarah all the more. Given this example, I’d say Sarah’s way too damned good for the GOP.

CBO is a stupid joke. Anyone that believes one bit of so called information they spew out is a typical useful idiot.

Morons.

When this kid “Jeb” graduates and starts college, I have little doubt he’ll end up at the Trotsky klatches.

He also thinks that Susan Rice’s involvement in Benghazi was about “failure” not deception in lying to the American public about a damn youtube video being the cause.

He also has a chip on his shoulder against Climate Change “deniers” and equates them with those who doubt/deny Darwin’s evolution theories.

Maybe he will run for the White House in 2050. If there’s still a United States of America by then.
