That woman makes so much sense it makes my heart sing and dance.
i will vote for sarah if she runs for president or vice president. what a great breath of fresh air!
i have read her book and she is one tough person, especially against the oil giants in alaska. she even took on the old boy establishment in alaska and won.
i pray for my country and the good americans like sarah who are willing to take the risks and fight the fight for the american people. GOD bless sarah and GOD bless our country.
Love Sarah! May she have a long, long successful life in whatever endeavor she chooses.

Please, give me a break.
Anyone who wanted to know what was in the health care reform bill could have looked. It was that big pile of papers republicans were using as a stage prop to thump on day after day as they repeatedly asserted that No one knows what’s in there.
And then a pitch for The Pledge? The problem with The Pledge isn’t that no one knows what’s in it; the problem is that there’s nothing in it. It’s a genuine stage prop of a document, that fails to reveal a single detail about the means whereby republicans will supposedly get our budgetary house in order. Even FOX NEWS called Boehner out on that:
Yes siree folks, the pig in this poke is one truly fine pig! I can’t show it to you–I can’t really describe it to you–but believe you me, it’s one truly fine pig!

Apparently Pelosi did not read it, nor did the bulk of the legislators that voted on it. Insurers have, they’ve increased rates, and stopped writing private policies for children, more bad new will come.
Many business owners are still in the dark and are not hiring, waiting to see what else is going to hit them. Perhaps they should hire a lawyer to interpret it for them, if they could afford that. 🙄
So, you are comparing a trillion dollar unread bill written in lawyer speak, signed into law with a campaign pledge posted online in plain english for voters to read six weeks before they go to the polls.
Guess what, it doesn’t matter what foxnews thinks of it, the voters will decide and according to the country’s mood lately, I doubt it was even necessary.
Here’s another example:
Congressional Leadership Publishes Text of Bill to Fund Entire Government–on Same Night as Vote
Earlier in the day, Republicans House members expressed dismay at the congressional leadership for not making the text of the bill available sooner for members and the public to review.
Still pulling the same old garbage, but, but, it’s been being worked on, members should have known, but, but, the people don’t camp out in committee meetings or in the House balcony.
Not to forget that bill that was voted on in rough draft form back in the spending frenzy of 09.
Yes siree, Greg, you get the most absurd comment of the day award. Congratulations!
GREG: hi, you look so happy to describe that one above; DON’T you think that THE REPUBLICANS
know what you all will do? if they start to unveil their PLAN at this time?,
LISTEN to the MAN, HE KNOWS his plan, but HE will LET the AMERICANS know before you all guys do what you usualy do, THAT is “TEAR it apart to fit your AGENDA: IN fact, HE was telling the REPORTER how he was going to start precisely; and the reporter got angry enough,
TO show which side his media was,and it was not on the CONSERVATIVE SIDE.
YOU cant show the PIG, and you cant describe it to the FOLKS, but the folks know which side is the pig from, just check in your backyard. bye take a break

@ Missy, #6:
So, you are comparing a trillion dollar unread bill written in lawyer speak, signed into law with a campaign pledge posted online in plain english for voters to read six weeks before they go to the polls.
Sure. I’ll make the comparison.
Like them or hate them, the provisions of the Health Care Reform Bill were right there in black and white, available for examination. Of course it’s written in “lawyer speak”. It’s actual law, expressing in minute detail the approach to be taken to an enormous number of specific health care system issues. Unlike The Pledge, it’s not a short collection of appealing intentions, carefully worded to resonate with populace dissatisfaction and anxieties, while remaining devoid of anything in the way of potentially troublesome details.
It totally astonishes me that intelligent people would consider voting for someone who won’t even talk about their specific intentions. Particularly when they’ve openly stated that, if revealed before the election, those specific intentions would become problematical issues.
Allow me to paraphrase House Minority Leader John Boehner’s comment about The Pledge, which we can hear in the FOX NEWS link provided up in post #5. Just in case anyone has missed his meaning–conveyed in “politician speak”–it’s this: “If we tell the people what’s actually in the bag, we’re worried that they might not want to buy it.”
GREG: of course they have to make sure the people understand the measure the REPUBLICAN
want to put into laws, WHY? well; it’s because the people are use to this government doing in their back all the take and the spend! SO they will first explain their plan to SERVE THE PEOPLE, therefor let the AMERICANS decide for them if they agree on the plan,
A very different change of what the people is use to, this ATTITUDE will win many votes
ABSOLUTLY,
bye

And examine them they did, and many do hate them. You seem to be under the impression that no one read through the mess, you are mistaken.

Hah! Another one…..This week Max Baucus spoke of being an author of Obamacare at a townhall meeting. When asked if he read the whole thing he said he didn’t, that’s what they have experts for. You seem to want to give democrats in Congress a pass, it’s all the people’s fault. The people did not want Obamacare, they spoke…loudly and persistently, they were not listened to.
Unlike The Pledge, it’s not a short collection of appealing intentions, carefully worded to resonate with populace dissatisfaction and anxieties, while remaining devoid of anything in the way of potentially troublesome details.
It’s definately not a short collection of intentions and it’s not appealing. Though carefully worded, it does not satisfy the majority of the “populace.” Unlike Obamacare, The Pledge was written with input of the “populace”
The Pledge to America was not written by politicians, but by American citizens nationwide who responded to the Republican leadership request for public input on a new direction for America, according to House Republican Conference Secretary John Carter this morning on CSPAN Washington Journal.
~~~~~
Carter, one of six elected Republican leaders in the House, held extensive live and electronic town hall meetings throughout the year to gain input from voters on how they wanted to correct the misdirection of the country by House Democrats and the Obama Administration.
“The broad consensus ideas that emerged are what make up this document,” says Carter. “This is what the American people are telling Congress to do, and our pledge to do it.”
Apparently you speak to something you know little about:
It totally astonishes me that intelligent people would consider voting for someone who won’t even talk about their specific intentions. Particularly when they’ve openly stated that, if revealed before the election, those specific intentions would become problematical issues.
Eric Canter was all over the place quite some time ago informing the “populace” that the Republicans would be soliciting input. He even established a blog where the “populace” could visit and…input.
BTW, who said this, and I did not paraphrase:
“Our new America will provide unlimited opportunity for future generations, not burden them with mountains of debt.”
It totally astonishes me that intelligent people would consider voting for liars like……Nancy Pelosi and the representatives that voted her into the Speaker’s position.
It totally astonishes me that intelligent people would consider voting for someone who won’t even talk about their specific intentions. Particularly when they’ve openly stated that, if revealed before the election, those specific intentions would become problematical issues.
Is that sort of like the Dims that high tailed it out of town without passing a budget?
Is that sort of like the tax commission that won’t reveal their recommendations until after Nov 2?
Is that sort of like the Dim Congress that went on recess, leaving the decision regarding tax cut extensions until after Nov 2?
Everyone knows that those are “problematic” issues that were purposely put off until after the elections.
Of course, it astonishes me that a person who most likely considers himself to be reasonably intelligent would vote for the guy he knew was lying to him….but, of course, we both know you did that.
AYE CHIHAHUA: hi, It look like they have been indoctrinated, to believe blindly, what they hear, and it’s dangerous for young minds to have been radicalize,therefor closing their mind to
OTHER side of the COIN, they cannot be 100per cent blamed, as the many teaching they receive don’t show them the HISTORY of AMERICA anymore, so they don’t care for THEIR COUNTRY,
AS many military do, and are willing to fight for AMERICA’S FREEDOM being drag slowly
BUT surely to disastrous socialist to empoverish all of them, except the GOVERNMENT and their PROTEGES chosen to protect them in return favor
