Recently defeated Republican Bob Inglis blames Sarah Palin for destroying credibility of GOP. Of course that may not bother her as much as learning that she does not rate that high among Facebook users.

From CNN Politics:

In an interview with the Associated Press and confirmed to CNN by his office, Inglis targets the "death panels" phrase made famous by Sarah Palin when the former Alaska governor inaccurately claimed the Democratic-backed health care legislation would ration health care for the elderly.

"There were no death panels in the bill … and to encourage that kind of fear is just the lowest form of political leadership. It's not leadership. It's demagoguery," said Inglis, who lost his primary challenge to conservative Trey Gowdy by 42 points last month and faced heavy criticism for voting in favor of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) in 2009.

In a series of Facebook posts last summer, Palin repeatedly suggested the health care legislation would amount to rationing and coined the phrase "death panels" to suggest government bureaucrats, not doctors, would determine the type of health care one receives.

The de-bunked phrase was quickly repeated by detractors of the bill and is credited with spurring heated opposition to the measure.

Inglis said such words amount to "preying on [voter's] fears."

"I think we have a lot of leaders that are following those [television and talk radio] personalities and not leading," he said. "What it takes to lead is to say, 'You know, that's just not right.'"

As I have stated before if Republicans don't start calling bullshit on people like Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaugh,  they will find themselves with a party that simply cannot pull together well enough to agree on a coherent message.  Right now it may work for them to simply be the opposition party, but if these guys start to win, especially the Teabagger contingent, they are going to be expected to produce.

But produce what?  Currently all that they seem to produce is lies and anger fueled defiance.

Hey I support the two party system!  I don't often vote for the Republican ticket but I am aware that without the Republican Yin to the Democrat's Yang that we could have a totalitarian government that would only make policy that benefits them directly with no checks or balances to make sure that the people were represented.

By the way, speaking of Sarah Palin, did all of you notice that the "Queen of Facebook" did not even make the top 50 hottest people on Facebook?  I keep hearing how all of these new people are flocking to join Palin's Facebook page, but there are not yet enough to make her even more popular than the guy who beat his girlfriend, the guy who cheated on his wife, or the chubby guy from the movie "The Hangover."

By the way President Obama is ranked #4, only beaten by Vin Diesel (WTF?), Lady Gaga, and the recently deceased Michael Jackson.
