Sarah Palin: Tax Deal "Lousy," but Grateful for Obama's "Flip Flop"(VIDEO, TOO)
cBS ^ | 8:15AM ET | Lucy Madison

Posted on 12/17/2010 6:04:40 AM PST by onyx

In a rare interview with ABC's "Good Morning America," former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin on Friday criticized the $858 billion tax cut bill that passed through Congress early this morning, calling the legislation "a lousy deal" that "creates a temporary economy with even more uncertainty for businesses and it does increase taxes."

"I think it's a lousy deal and we can do better for the American people," Palin told GMA's Robin Roberts, in an interview in her Alaska home.

The "new Congress is seated the first week of January," Palin continued. "It is better to wait until they are seated and get a good deal for the American public than to accept what I think is a lousy deal, because it creates a temporary economy with even more uncertainty for businesses and it does increase taxes."

My nightmare ticket? Romney and Huck (with Huck invited on to shore up the evangelical vote).

Just the fact that Huckabee is in the U.S. is a nightmare.

The only trouble I see is if Huck jumps in before her.

Huck is a TV personality now. I think he's going to have a hard time switching to a "serious" side. If anything, he'll be a spoiler.

Actually, with my post I was trying to show that Clinton and Obama are flopping about like fish Sarah might club. Yet you’re snippy with me, SCP, partly because I have previously claimed to abhor the way Sarah’s more-extreme supporters often attack the less-enthusiastic. Odd.

The tv talkers and print news are so jealous of Mrs. Palin the only thing they can do is talk about and print nonsense about her and her family. They have been bought by the democrats who have been bought and paid for by George Soros. The only thing they can do is follow his bidding. He hates America and all she stands for and is out to destroy this great country. He is using our colleges of journalism, talk tv and print paper to try and do it. He won’t win. We have too many Americans who believe in the American idea who are willing to stand up and fight for it.

Sarah is vastly improved at handling the media people and you’re right = she is unconstrained, so she says precisely what she wants! GO SARAH!

Wall Street Journal Editorial:

One of our favorite Bill Clinton anecdotes involves a confrontation he had with Bob Dole in the Oval Office after the 1996 election. Mr. Dole protested Mr. Clinton’s attack ads claiming the Republican wanted to harm Medicare, but the President merely smiled that Bubba grin and said, “You gotta do what you gotta do.”

We’re reminded of that story listening to Barack Obama protest his treatment by the now ex-President Clinton on behalf of his wanna-be-President wife. “You know the former President, who I think all of us have a lot of regard for, has taken his advocacy on behalf of his wife to a level that I think is pretty troubling,” Mr. Obama told a TV interviewer. “He continues to make statements that are not supported by the facts — whether it’s about my record of opposition to the war in Iraq or our approach to organizing in Las Vegas.”

Now he knows how the rest of us feel.

The Illinois Senator is still a young man, but not so young as to have missed the 1990s. He nonetheless seems to be awakening slowly to what everyone else already knows about the Clintons, which is that they will say and do whatever they “gotta” say or do to win. Listen closely to Mr. Obama, and you can almost hear the echoes of Bob Dole at the end of the 1996 campaign asking, “Where’s the outrage?”

“you will leave the Dems in charge” No you get rid of the RINOs in the primary and elect a conservative over the Dem. We cannot afford more RINOs they are killing us with their deals. This the thoughtful way to save the country. People who widh to be nice and keep the old GOP, are the ones with the feeling problem.

No, maybe your posts should be more clear, and less muddy.

Then you wouldn't leave your self open to charges of hypocrisy.

“we may get screwed once again.” Not if we keep the heat on their butts.

“When asked about recent emotional displays by incoming Republican House Speaker John Boehner, the former Alaska governor also spoke of what she perceives as a double-standard for women in politics. Noting that she respected the Ohio Republican for having “worn his feelings on his sleeve on things that are so important to him,” Palin said she wasn’t sure that, as a woman, she would be treated with an equal response in similar circumstances. “ Imagine if Sarah cried during similar circumstances...the the MSM and liberal zombies would be all over her.

Zactly. They’d accuse her of PMS or of being too emotional for the job of CIC, etc.

Maybe my posts could be more clear, and less muddy, but then maybe some of you reflexive Sarah-defenders could be less reflexively Sarah-defensive, too. If Sarah needs that much help, she ain’t worth helping.

in my book RINOS are worst than democRATS...at least with with the RATS you know what to expect... the RINOS on the other hand are unpredictable...they tend to give you a false sense of security.

I agree but at this point I know exactly what I will get from a RINO, fornicated.

She’s right. I don’t know why the GOP felt they had to rush and get this done. I’m not happy with the deal at all. The only thing good about it was seeing liberal heads explode nationwide Obongo flip flopped and they despise the “rich”. Rich to them is anyone that has a job and makes over 40K.
