Palin's Facebook response to the passing of HR 3962. (Ghostwriter now fully awake and back on the job.)

We’ve got to hold on to hope, and we’ve got to fight hard because Congressional action tonight just put America on a path toward an unrecognizable country.

If passing a bill that will help provide health insurance coverage for 96% of Americans, keeps insurance companies from rejecting you due to "pre-existing conditions" , and provides the possibility of a public option, makes America an "unrecognizable country", then I will happily walk around today discovering this "new" America.

An America that seems more concerned with the health and well being of it's citizens, an America where insurance companies are no longer protected by an anti-trust exemption, an America where the insurers are now required to spend 85% of premium revenue on members’ care. You know Sarah I can hardly WAIT to meet this "unrecognizable country".

The same government leaders that got us into the mortgage business and the car business are now getting us into the health care business.

Despite Americans’ decisive message last Tuesday that they reject the troubling path this country has been taking (Jesus, what election were YOU watching?), Speaker Pelosi has broken her own promises of transparency to ram a health “care” bill through the House of Representatives just before midnight. Why did she push the 2,000 page bill this weekend? Was she perhaps afraid to give her peers and the constituents for whom she works the chance to actually read this monstrous bill carefully, if at all? (The Republicans have been carrying this bill around for a prop while they give speeches against it for weeks now. Have they not taken the time to sit down and actually read it? Then how did they know they did not like it?)Was she concerned that Americans might really digest the details of a bill that the Wall Street Journal has called “the worst piece of post-New Deal legislation ever introduced”?

This out-of-control bureaucratic mess will be disastrous for our economy, our small businesses, and our personal liberty. It will slam businesses at a time when we are at double-digit unemployment rates – (Bush's fault.)the highest we’ve seen in a quarter of a century. (Still Bush's fault.)This massive new bureaucracy will cost us and our children money we don’t have. It will rob Americans of more of our freedom and further hamper the free market.

(Holy crap how much moose shit can she put into one Facebook post? Taking away the anti-trust exemption and adding the possibility of a public option does nothing BUT provide more freedom to the American consumers and makes the "free market" live up to it's name.)

Make no mistake: we’re on course to have government commandeer one-sixth of our economy. The people who gave us Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac now want to run our health care. Think about that.

All of us who value the sanctity of life are grateful for the success of the pro-life majority in the House this evening in its battle against federal funding of abortion in this bill, but it’s ironic because we were promised that abortion wasn’t covered in the bill to begin with. (It wasn't! But the language was not strong enough for the "life begins when a couple gets to fist base" crowd.) Our healthy distrust of these government leaders made us look deeper into the bill because unfortunately we knew better than to trust what they were saying. (Translation: "We were desperately looking for a way to kill this thing before it destroyed our party! After all that is MY job!")The victory tonight to amend the bill and eliminate that federal funding for abortion was great – because abortion is not health care. (Perfectly healthy for a woman to die due to the complications of childbirth.) Now we can only hope that Rep. Stupak’s amendment will hold in the final bill, though the Democratic leadership has already refused to promise that it won’t be scrapped later. (Good for them!)

We had been told there were no “death panels” in the bill either. But look closely at the provision mandating bureaucratic panels that will be calling the shots regarding who will receive government health care.

(NO what you were told, you simpleton, was that "death panels" was a label completely fabricated by Betsy McCaughey, and then promoted by you in an attempt to frighten the elderly. Which apparently you are still willing to do even today. Is that what your "Pie Spy, LLC" company was all about? Scaring the elderly into thinking Obama was going to pull the plug on their respirators?)

Look closely at provisions addressing illegal aliens’ health care coverage too (also). (Sorry. I jsut wanted it to sound more like Sarah actually wrote it.)

Those of us who love freedom and believe in open and transparent government can only be dismayed by midnight action on a Saturday. (Sorry. It took me a minute to respond to that last sentence. I was choking on my coffee. Did Sarah Palin just invoke the lack of an "open and transparent government" to judge Nancy Pelosi? "Mrs. Pelosi? Call for you on line one. It is a pot who wants to call you black. Should I have them call back later, when you are finished laughing?") Speaker Pelosi’s promise that Americans would have 72 hours to read the final bill before the vote was just another one of the D.C. establishment’s too-common political ploys. It’s broken promises like this that turn people off to politics and leave them disillusioned about the future of their country.

(No it is not politics like passing a health care reform bill. It is politics like having Republican House members standing outside calling for the overthrow of their own government that leaves people "disillusioned about the future of their country". As well they should be.)

But despite this late-night maneuvering, many of us were paying close attention tonight. We’ll keep paying close attention. We need to let our legislators in Washington know that they still represent us, and that the majority of Americans are not in favor of the “reform” they are pushing. (Not true.) After all, this is still a country “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” We will make our voices heard (On Facebook.). It’s on to the Senate now. Our legislators can listen now, or they can hear us in 2010. It’s their choice.

- Sarah Palin

Okay here is my message to the MSM.

Don't cover this bullshit from Palin! I have to write about it because I am an Alaskan blogger. It is kind of my job. But the REAL media does not! Just step away from the Facebook!

But if you cannot help yourselves, at least make sure to drive the point home that SHE DID NOT WRITE THIS! She is being used by people behind the scenes to garner attention for their crazy anti-American ideas. She is just a vehicle. When a truck crashes into a crowd of innocent people, you do not blame the truck! You blame the driver who steered the truck up onto the sidewalk.

Sarah Palin is the truck! If the MSM wants to really do their jobs, then find out who is doing the driving. THAT would be some journalism.

P.S. By the way I thought you might be interested to note that there are now OTHER Republicans resorting to "Sarah Palin tactics" to get people to pay attention to them. Cue the baby.



Is that not about the most pathetic thing you have ever seen? What kind of horrible human being hides behind a baby to garner sym.......oh yeah!
