As more Americans delve into the disturbing details of the nationalized health care plan that the current administration is rushing through Congress, our collective jaw is dropping, and we’re saying not just no, but hell no!
The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.
These are the opening 2 paragraphs of her statement, none of which backs away from this nonsense.
On Monday August 10th Sarah made this statement in regard to health care reform:
Also this week, Alaskans will join Senators Murkowski and Begich in town hall meetings to discuss the current health care legislation. There are many disturbing details in the current bill that Washington is trying to rush through Congress, but we must stick to a discussion of the issues and not get sidetracked by tactics that can be accused of leading to intimidation or harassment. Such tactics diminish our nation’s civil discourse which we need now more than ever because the fine print in this outrageous health care proposal must be understood clearly and not get lost in conscientious voters’ passion to want to make elected officials hear what we are saying.

Let’s not give the proponents of nationalized health care any reason to criticize us..
Does this seem a bit confusing or maybe contradictory? I'm rather unsure how "Let’s not give the proponents of nationalized health care any reason to criticize us" works in relationship to this bald faced lie, "my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s 'death panel'”. If you're going to get into the crazy land of 'death panels' assertions to your fringe audience it would seem a little tough to say, "we must stick to a discussion of the issues and not get sidetracked by tactics that can be accused of leading to intimidation or harassment" rather than scream at any Congressional member who was backing any such ideas. It would seem a bit tough to get citizens to go along with these civility ideas when Republicans as self-important as our favorite lizzard Newt to say:
"The bill is a thousand pages of setting up mechanisms," he said. "You are asking us to trust turning power over to the government, when there are clearly people in America who believe in establishing euthanasia, including selective standards."
There are clearly people in America who believe the moon landing was a hoax, that Obama is an alien, that Saddam did 9/11, that all kinds of really stupid things are actually fact, like death panels so what exactly is Newt proposing? That these people run the country? That the government should freeze because idiocy is rampant in some circles? Some people advocate euthanasia, well some people belong to the KKK and some even belong to the GOP, or rather CPoR. Aw geeze...
