Palin pre-rebuttal to Obama speech on Facebook
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=130980188434&id=24718773587&ref=nf

I'm pleased that the White House is finally responding to Republican health care ideas instead of pretending they don't exist.<1> But in doing so President Obama should follow his own sound advice and avoid making "wild misrepresentations".<2> Medicare vouchers would give everyone on Medicare the chance to decide for themselves which health plan to use, rather than leave that decision to government bureaucrats. Such proposals are the kind of health care reform that Republicans stand for: market-oriented, patient-centered, and result-driven.

The White House talking points leave the rest of my arguments unanswered. They don't respond to the idea that all individuals should get the same tax benefits received by those who get coverage through their employers; that we must reform our tort laws; and that we should allow Americans to buy insurance across state lines. The White House also fails to respond to the Nyce/Schieber study indicating that wages will fall if the government expands coverage without reducing health care inflation rates.

One last thing: after President Obama's speech tonight, listen for which pundits use the words "false", "scary", and "risky" in describing the proposals I put forward. That's how you'll be able to tell who the White House counted as "allies" worthy of receiving its talking points.

-Sarah Palin

5. Would that it were so,
but Sarah will not leave the stage, unfortunately. She is a narcissist and she will do whatever it takes to make sure that her name stays in lights.

6. Screw off, Sarah--you and your lackeys
have been lying about health care reform from the beginning and have NO business telling Obama what he "should" and "should not" do.

7. Save your breath, Sarah. You'll need it to service five guests after the big dinner.
Why doesn't this wretched woman just go away?

8. why does that ignorant troll get any attention?
I about fell over when I saw that she's being flown overseas to speak at some huge investors conference this year. I can't even imagine that idiot putting two sentences together well enough for intelligent people to understand.

All of a sudden science is the answer, eh?

I guess economics isn't science. More like bullshit.

12. Hey Sarah! How about you not taking government program $$$...
for your handicapped child. Normally I am happy that my tax dollars go to helping special needs kids, even though it is very costly. In Palin's case I think she should "man up" and pay those bills herself. Better yet, she should try to get insurance for him from an insurance company. She would have to whore herself out to Rush Limbaugh for real to make that kind of money.

15. She has no clue whatsoever. Her parents must not be of
medicare age, or else she never asked them how it works.

How anyone takes this dolt seriously is beyond me. She thinks Facebook is a good way to become credentialed as a political heavyweight :rofl:.

16. instead of pretending they don't exist
we don't have to pretend... I mean they've only had all summer to come up with one idea. Instead it's been death panels, rationing care and keep govmn't out of my medicare. Someone tell Palin their ideas do not exist to argue with or for. Her party failed to even enter into the debate.

19. I am way too sick of this woman.
There is no way the master of "word salad" wrote any of this. She also didn't write any of the WSJ articles. Nobody gets that verbally organized that quickly. She definitely does not have that talent. Go away woman......
