Sarah Palin once again under the delusion that she speaks for America, and seems to forget that newly elected members of Congress are not yet on the job.

Courtesy of Not the Voice of America's Facebook page:

Grant me this use of America's voice: When you cut through all the “inside baseball” stuff in this Omnibus Spending Bill that's in front of Congress, you're left with two cold hard facts: this bill doesn't defund Obama's amnesty (so he gets to reward lawbreakers with your tax dollars) and it adds to our dangerous, unsustainable debt. It also breaks campaign promises made by quite a few of our incumbent politicians on both sides of the aisle. Hey, if you thought we wanted more of the same as we worked our butts off to get good folks elected in November, then why did we vote to oust liberals who got America into this mess in the first place? Guess what, GOP: our victory party is over and voters are wide awake and trusting you to keep your promises to America. Get a handle on your debt. Stop Obama's amnesty to illegal aliens. Support our military. Bottom line: we elected you to stop Obama's “fundamental transformation of America.” Do it – especially you Republicans who promised to do it. Or face America's wrath next go 'round because an elephant never forgets. 

"Grant me the use of America's voice." Does that remind anybody else of Palin writing that letter she wrote in God's voice about her easy pregnancy over a week before Trig was actually born?

For the record she does NOT speak in America's voice.

And also for the record the newly elected 2014 House members are not yet able to vote on this bill, and some of the members who are still there she actively tried to get replaced, so who the hell is she talking to?

However I am thrilled that she now refers to herself as an "elephant," because I have been looking for a new nickname. 

Not to shock you or anything but I do almost agree with Palin on this, only not for the same reasons of course.

This Omnibus bill actually does suck and there are legitimate reasons to be against it.

Here are a few: 

Congressional appropriators ordered four more F-35 joint strike fighters at a cost of $479 million dollars, even though the Pentagon didn’t ask for them. 

Since those shiny new F-35s aren’t going to pay for themselves, Congress did manage to trim a few areas of the budget. For example, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, commonly referred to as WIC, was on the receiving end of a $93 million budget cut. 

The 2014 Midterms saw voters in Oregon, Alaska, and Washington, D.C. vote to legalize Marijuana for recreational use. Unlike in Alaska and Oregon, however, the D.C. ballot measure is subject to congressional approval. So, despite the fact that the actual citizens of Washington, D.C. voted for legalization by a margin of more than 2 to 1, anti-legalization advocates in Congress attached a rider that completely undoes the voter-backed change and keeps Marijuana illegal. 

The current budget deal includes a repeal of the Dodd-Frank derivatives rule that was literally written by big bank lobbyists — A leaked document obtained by the New York Times revealed that 70 of the 85 lines of derivatives language reflect recommendations made in a piece of model legislation drafted by lobbyists for Citigroup, another bank that played a major role in the 2008 crisis and also received billions of federal stimulus dollars. 

If all of this sounds familiar, it’s because the House passed the exact same CitiGroup-written law last year, but it died after resistance from the Senate and Treasury Department. Now, Wall Street’s allies in Congress have effectively copy-pasted the CitiGroup-approved language out of the old bill and into the current budget deal, which is much less susceptible to a veto threat since a veto would shut down the government. In a provision conveniently located on page 1,599 of a 1,603 page document, 

Congress lays out donation rules that would allow individuals to give more than $300,000 directly to political parties every year. According to the Washington Post’s Matea Gold, under the new rules, one couple could legally funnel nearly $1.3 million to a party’s various account. 

So yes there are real reasons to be frustrated by this bill, however they are certainly not the ones pissing off the Wasilla Wendigo.

By the way this is the picture that Palin used for her Facebook post on this.

That's Sarah Palin in a nutshell.

Claiming to speak for American while wrapping her feet in it's flag.

      8:38, you might be right. But I have a nagging feeling she is being used by the gop as a shiny thing to distract the American public from focusing on what those with real power in congress and the senate are doing to our system of government. They are dismantling everything we have done to better this country, piece by piece.

    Since Sarah is not adding anything new to her political discourse and she only seems qualified for reality trash TV, here is an idea for her a new show:

    PaintBall with the Palins. The whole family could participate and they could have a new team of competitors each week with a new course and challenges. I would suggest the Duck Family and the Nugents to start off the series. I would bet there are some liberal families that are good shots that wouldn't mind taking a turn. There are probably more than a few Repubs that would like to take a shot at Sarah, also, too. A show like this can't miss as Sarah says the liberal media have put targets on the backs of her (con)stitutional conservative family.

    I would say that Sarah is putting her feet up like the lazy half term governor and former mayor (who had to hire a City Administrator) that she is. And while she has nothing better to do, she is telling politicians how to vote. Good thing no politician is listening to her.

    This is the way politics is. Must past bills going down to the wire are larded up with unrelated junk. It has improved somewhat however. This is where they used to put the pork for member's districts. Not so much pork these days, which actually hurts you Alaskans the most - now your capital projects must be paid for with oil revenue, which are in a nose dive.

    Anyway, Sarah does not speak for anyone, let alone America. The majority of us still want the ignorant bitch to go away and stay away. She knows nothing. She is throw back to the Know Nothing party of the mid 1800's (that party that served as a transition party between the Whigs and the Republicans - but of course Sarah doesn't know much about that either).

    This bill will pass both the House and the Senate with bipartisan support.

    Rush Limbaugh was complaining just today that the current Republicans do not listen to the conservative media anymore. That is good news. It means they are done listening to the crazy. Are you listening Sarah? The Republicans are not listening to you either (not that you have as much clout as Rush because you don't - Rush actually works every day for a living).

    We are getting there IMer's. Getting to the place where no one listens to the grifter Sarah. She has lost much of her power and is on the verge of losing any and all influence on anything outside of her own family.

    America wins when no one care what Sarah says.

      She does not speak with an American voice. Her voice is Republican, not because she is like one but that is all she represents in politics. Not saying she is a politician, she is willing to play one.

      John McCain needs to speak up and discuss this divide in regard to torture. It would be a more interesting discussion than her failure to be relevant and say anything at this time about this important story. That is what an American would do, address vital matters and current events. Sarah Palin is a coward. Looks like John McCain is being a coward as well. Good for his speech, but he is dropping the ball not to have a deeper talk about this. Since he still supports her and they are at opposite ends he is missing a valuable opportunity. She is just a cowardly flake that is so weak in her American cred that she has to continually wave a flag.

      Same old propaganda that is an epic fail.

      This misplaced focus said a lot about our political culture, in particular about how disconnected Congress is from the suffering of ordinary Americans. But it also revealed something else: when people in D.C. talk about deficits and debt, by and large they have no idea what they’re talking about — and the people who talk the most understand the least.

    1) Sarah, way back when you were just an ill-behaved toddler, the "Moral Majority" made a huge deal about the desecration of the American flag.
    Your boots show disrespect for the flag and what it stands for.
    Those who are fighting American ideals and democracy overseas can just take one look at your shabby old boots and follow your lead.

    2) Sarah, sweetie, please re-read your Constitution, if you have a copy. The elections held last month were for the new Congress that will be sworn in next month. As I remember it, the total vote for Democrats nationwide was larger than the votes for Republicans, but, gerrymandering has allowed the GOP to finagle a way to make that into a majority.

    3) The Republicans hate President Obama for his immigration reforms because, if they kill his ideas, then they'll have to come up with their own and they don't want to be responsible.
    As you well know, it's much easier to criticize than to propose workable solutions.

    4) Just for the heck of it, could you explain in your next rant just what the Dodd-Frank bill accomplished, and define for us what the derivatives market is all about? I'm sure your audience would like to hear your views on these topics.

    5) As stated above, dear Sarah, you don't speak for me, and my ancestors arrived on these shores in 1638. I'm about as "American" as you can get. Your tea baggers, the pee pals, represent only a minority point of view, both in the nation and in the Republican party. You didn't get a mandate to declare what the country is supposed to do.

    6) You declare that elephants don't forget, as you simultaneously threaten the elephant party, I'd say you're playing with fire. The majority of the GOP won't forget your disloyalty. Just you want until '16!

    7) By the way, when exactly will you be declaring your candidacy for President? You seem to know all the answers to what should be happening, so clearly you need to be out front speaking at the primary debates to elucidate your opinions for the country to hear. We can't wait.

    Palin's endorsement Paul Gosar called Indians "wards of the federal government". I can't do the link but it's at Huffington Post. She certainly endorses some vile people & they make idiotic comments & that's usually not pointed out. But it should be. Palin is so smug when she does her endorsements. She should have to speak for their idiotic comments. They should be a reflection of her.

    Just e-mailed my Senator Marco Rubio asking him not to vote for bill with egregious banking deregulations. Asked if he does, could he please explain why he thinks it's OK for taxpayers to foot the bill when private companies engage in risky financial behavior.

    (I did actually write it to him in a better way than I just wrote it to you.).

    We'll see what happens.

    Last time I wrote him (and before that, his 'place-holder George LeMieux), all I got back was a "don't trouble your pretty little head, dear, you don't understand and I know what's best for you and Floridians" message.

    Despite all that, maybe, just maybe, we really need to start a massive campaign to get as many people as possible to contact their representatives - state and federal - as often as possible and ask them for an accounting of how many people call/write, what their opinions are, and most importantly, are the representatives responding to information/opinions/positions they are getting from their constituents?

    Yeah, I've been called a PollyAnna before, but .. maybe ... something ... positive could come from it?

      It can't hurt to keep reminding them that they're elected to serve their constituents, not the Republican party, right? It might not help...but neither will remaining silent.

      You did good.

      We all need to write to President Obama and others that we want justice, prosecution of "torture" policy architects is necessary to heal.

      In the end it will not divide the country to go back to being a country of law.

    Obama needs to use his veto pen on this bill, even if it does shut down the government. The Republicans were responsible for shutting down the government last time and it did not affect them politically, they still swept the midterms. If Obama reacts reasonably and vetoes this it will have little impact on the next election for Democrats and he will be seen as a hero for putting the kibosh on a bunch of really bad legislation.

      That's what the ReThugs want. Include the most impossible cuts, numerous selfish gifts for the wealthy and other bizarre demands in the bill forcing the President to veto it. They can then yammer that it was 'he' who caused the shut-down.

      It was definitely THEM who caused it last time, some of them even bragged about it, but they continued to blame the last shut-down on President Obama and the Dems anyway. There is no winning or fair-fighting with these anti-American, Democracy hating charlatans. Palin the pig is getting a lot of mileage out of something she hasn't a clue of understanding. Same as always.

    I don't understand why DC does not have representation?Taxation without representation. I'm sure there is a reason and it probably makes no sense. If they are a separate entity , they should have a representative.
    Thanks to anyone who can clear this up for me

  37. Palin will be thrilled to learn that the vote on this Omnibus bill has been delayed.

    She will undoubtedly be less thrilled to learn it is because Democrats are finding problems with it.

    CHRISTIAN SARAH PALIN HAS NO COMPASSION FOR OTHERS


    EXCEPT WHEN IT COMES TO:

    Prosecuting the person who prevented Alaskan children their rights to an education without the fear of riding school buses.

    Prosecuting the person who prevents Alaskan home owners their rights to go on vacation without having to come back home to see tens of thousands of dollars worth of damages from hoodlums breaking and entering, having sex in their rooms, defacating and urinating in their rooms, doing drugs, putting holes in their walls and many other damages to their homes.

    Prosecuting the people who not only gets publicly intoxicated and disturbs the peace, they add to the delinquency of a legally underage person by serving them alcohol, assaults a community celebrating on their property, use of vulgar language in front of minors and drives away without any arrests.

    Prosecuting the person identified by his prostitute Shailey Tripp for human sex trafficking.


    Sarah Palin vocally wants to break up families by not granting amnesty, impeach our president, waterboard and torture human beings, allow the chemical killing of women and children but does not vocally demand the prosecution of the people who terrorize their community, town, city and state .... They are free for now.

    Sarah Palin's compassion is one sided, so happy and thankful she is not our Alaska politician.
