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....

Will he be old enough to vote in 2016?
There are a LOT of conservatives who comment on Yahoo articles. It's always fun to watch as Yahoo "reporters" get skewered by the readers.
Following in romney's footsteps and probably paid to do it.

At that it took much longer than the President intended and required bribery of many states, IE. Nebraska that was given an exception (from (Obama care) it did not apply to Nebraska: to obtain the vote of their congressman for the bill. It is truly a fiasco and Americans are losing their excellent quality health care.
We are rapidly descending into a third world nation status, we are being bankrupted, beyond recovery, or a Greece, or Italy, or Spain, etc.: More correctly Venezuela, a nation on socialism which never has worked no matter the times it has been attempted.
A disaster in the making!!! STOP IT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!
