SARAH PALIN'S PING LIST!

I’m glad the Senate came to its senses and killed the omnibus spending monstrosity. That outrageous trillion-dollar pork buffet was an outright slap in the face to the American public’s expressed wishes in the last election. It was as if Congress was earning its historically low 13 percent approval rating before our very eyes. I applaud senators like Jim DeMint, John McCain, and others who fought this and stopped it.
However, the very fact that some lawmakers on Capitol Hill thought such reckless spending was even remotely acceptable is disturbing. We’re facing trillion-dollar deficits and a record national debt, but some people still want to continue spending like there’s no tomorrow. If the European debt crisis teaches us anything, it’s that tomorrow always comes. Sooner or later, the markets will expect us to settle the bill for the enormous Obama-Pelosi-Reid spending binge. We’ve already been warned by the credit ratings agency Moody’s that unless we get serious about reducing our deficit, we may face a downgrade of our credit rating. Even the lamest of lame ducks can’t ignore this reality.

Perfect description
Washington politicians love giving the finger to American taxpayers, for whom they harbor contempt bordering on hatred.
“We’re facing trillion-dollar deficits”
So what? After years of Bush’s Keynesian-like propaganda that deficits will pay for themselves, many people can comfortably hold the position that more tax “cuts” without spending cuts is a tenable “conservative” position.
The concern expressed is very funny coming from NRO, one of the big pushers of bad economics= “Deficits Don’t Matter!”
Thanks for the thoughtful words Sarah.
Gives us hope for more common sense to come.
And tell Todd and the kids we said howdy!
;o)
I agree.
And this is good stuff from Governor Palin.
It is a nice victory. Now let’s kill the rest of the commie crap and make them just go home.
These were not tax cuts.
Let’s hope he can keep everyone in line for START, DREAM and DADT.
But aren’t there a whole lot of spending riders in the Bush tax cut extension bill that did pass? Didn’t the dims also load it up with a gaggle of unnecessary pork packages?
The two bills put the Republicans between a rock and a hard place. Either one passes, and the dims win. Which is always the way they deal with the Republicans, and there are too many RINOs to stop them.
Right. Thanks for pointing this out. I'mm from Kentucky and I think McConnell has done a good job for a long time.
Not coming from NRO really, but from Palin.
NRO is just using Palin to increase their readership like by four or five times I’d guess.
NRO is a site that I would never bother to read, due to their socialist-lite politics.
