LOL! Palin Calls for 'Civil Discourse' re: Health Care; Ignores Claim About Death Panels
Edited on Mon Aug-10-09 12:14 AM by mikiturner
She has absolutely no shame.

Tomorrow begins an important week for Alaskans.

On Monday, state lawmakers will meet to override my veto of stimulus funds. As Governor, I did my utmost to warn our legislators that accepting stimulus funds will further tie Alaska to the federal government and chip away at Alaska’s right to chart its own course. Enforcing the federal building code requirements, which Governor Parnell and future governors will be forced to adopt in order to accept these energy funds, will eventually cost the state more than it receives. There are clear ropes attached, and Alaskans will soon find themselves tied down by codes which will dictate how we build and renovate homes and businesses. The state has hundreds of millions of dollars already budgeted for conservation, weatherization and renewable energy development. Legislators don’t need to play politics as usual and accept these funds and the ropes that come with them.

Also this week, Alaskans will join Senators Murkowski and Begich in town hall meetings to discuss the current health care legislation. There are many disturbing details in the current bill that Washington is trying to rush through Congress, but we must stick to a discussion of the issues and not get sidetracked by tactics that can be accused of leading to intimidation or harassment. Such tactics diminish our nation’s civil discourse which we need now more than ever because the fine print in this outrageous health care proposal must be understood clearly and not get lost in conscientious voters’ passion to want to make elected officials hear what we are saying. Let’s not give the proponents of nationalized health care any reason to criticize us.

- Sarah Palin


She accepted 96% of stimulus funds, by the way.

She posted the above to her facebook page, but I linked to Shannyn Moore's site. I refuse to give Palin any additional traffic. If you really want to see the source, just long onto facebook and search her name.

5. Because her thought processes are representative of an increasing number of voters.
Yes, Sarah Palin is 10 pounds of stupid in a 5-pound bag.

...but so are a a disturbingly increasing number of voters....and THAT makes her relevant.

6. Sarah doesn't understand that when she said "I quit" it made her opinions
on Alaska politics completely irrelevant.

7. I'm wondering if anyone ever gave Sarah Palin an IQ test...or..
Edited on Mon Aug-10-09 08:04 AM by JayMusgrove
did she get all the way she's gotten in life on her looks?

I sincerely think she's bordeline retarded. All the signs are there, particularly her lack of ability to grasp abstract concepts, and all the empty buzzwords she keeps repeating in a sing-song fashion.
