Perhaps she was upset that there isn't coverage for undocumented immigrants...since Palin values the sanctity of life I'm sure she believes everybody deserves access to care. #sarahpalin
ABORTION IS NOT HEALTH CARE???!!!! You want to tell that to the women whose pregnancies are life-threatening, Sarah? They don't deserve to have a legal medical procedure performed that might save their lives, Sarah? Should they just die, Sarah, because idiots like you don't consider abortion health care? How dare you pretend to speak for women's rights when you clearly value their lives so very little. #sarahpalin
She needs to STFU already about "rationing care" and "death panels." Fuck you, lady. You think our health care isn't rationed already? Only in the US would a political party protect an industry that sits around pondering whether to make gender a pre-existing condition under which health care can be denied. Where a victim of domestic violence can be denied health care because she is too high-risk. Where the failure to disclose treatment of a teenage case of acne can cause the termination of a health insurance policy you have paid for faithfully for years under the assumption that if you get cancer, you'd get treatment.
Fuck this fucking country, where Republicans "leaders" can grab whatever microphone is in front of them and yammer on with lies about pulling the plug on your grandma and women traipsing off to get three abortions on their lunch hour and how we have the best health care system in the world.
Fuck you, Sarah Palin, and the horse you rode in on. I hope you get hemmorhoids and end up being denied treatment because you were once pregnant and that's a pre-existing condition. Karma can't come soon enough to suit me. #sarahpalin
Nancy Pelosi just wants to make sure no one notices Part 3, Section 1421, subsection c on page 1756 AKA the Waffle Amendment, which grants Nancy Pelosi the right to free Sunday brunch for the rest of her life. It could be very controversial. #sarahpalin
I believe the President said that he expected a bill by Thanksgiving, and the Dems have taken that charge seriously. The GOP has not provided any realistic plan of its own, and right now they are just whining. I grow tired of this shite. #sarahpalin
I just got stuck in a Wikipedia black hole. And somehow ended up on Barry Goldwater's page. But I found this. And how appropriate.
"When you say "radical right" today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to take the Republican party and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye." #sarahpalin
Pfailin and her many, many followers make me despair for the intelligence of my fellow Americans on the right. It's one thing for this obvious lunatic to be ranting and raving like this, but quite another for her to have such a large following of people who co-sign the ignorance she spews. I wonder what they're so afraid of. Perhaps it's the slow but steady dissipation of their party's and churchs' influence and the realization that people who don't believe as they do are running the show now? Welcome to our nightmare, nutjobs, now you see what the last 8 years have been like for the folks on the left. #sarahpalin
@Hooplehead: But here is the thing, at least in my mind. We didn't give the GOP crap for any and everything. We were against a pointless invasion and had problems with the flagrant abuses of human rights, but our folks didn't just stick our their tongues because an idea came from the other side. I can't deal with the pointless partisanship of today. #sarahpalin
@badmutha: IMO, we didn't give the GOP nearly enough crap for the Bush Admin's insanity. But that's another rant for another day.
Re: the partisanship, I agree with you. The problem is, how you reach out to people who are determined to stick their fingers in their ears and believe the worst, no matter what? O's trying, and getting nowhere. The GOP have painted themselves into a tiny corner, and from all appearances their solution to getting out of it does not appear to be doing anything to fix the mess they've left us with. #sarahpalin
@Hooplehead: And hearted! I couldn't have said it better. The fact that the GOP bill wouldn't even cover more than an additional 2 million people just goes to show that they are NOT SERIOUS about wanting to fix health care. They are fine and happy with it the way it is. So, obstruct they will. Things are going to get real ugly in the Senate. #sarahpalin
They just DO NOT care about the people they are screwing. Nor, I think, do all of the GOP/Pfailin fans. All that WWJD stuff goes out the window when there's a poor person to kick and look down on.
The nastiness of the class and race-baiting they are willing to engage in to maintain the status quo is just staggering. Anyone who's been paying attention knows that insurance companies routinely deny claims with impunity, whether people are covered or no. This is needed reform, and there is massive waste to be cut and we're wasting time dealing with "death panels" and "communists." Really?
And you're right, it is going to get even more brutal as it goes to the Senate. I just hope that Harry Reid has the guts to deliver what Madame Speaker has. Or deploys Rahm Emmanuel to close the deal if he can't. If he falls down on the job for this, he needs to be fired. #sarahpalin

That is so, so true. My bf's mother is one of them. She does charity work b/c the Church tells her she should, but that doesn't mean she has any compassion for the people she's serving. I do not get how she can serve a meal to dozens of illegal immigrants, poor people and homeless children and come home and fire off an email railing about how the illegals are taking our jobs, how poor people are faking it because they have cell phones and cable TV and homeless people ended up on the streets because they did something to deserve it, and it's all somehow Obama's fault because he's a socialist Nazi. The contortions her mind must go through every day is baffling. #sarahpalin
Does anyone else find Sarah Palin's virulent opposition to abortion a tad ironic? Because in my opinion, her existence is the strongest argument for abortion. #sarahpalin
I love how almost 10,000 people on facebook have already "liked" this and how almost all of the 3,000+ comments read like "keep up the good work Sarah! show those dems who's the boss!" and "God bless you and your work. Our fair country needs more people like you in office!" Ugh. This is childish but my favorite comment is "you needed a good ramming, B" #sarahpalin
@JessickerFletcher: This comment wins my coveted "Conservative Crazy Award"
"It is completely apparent now that our elected officials don't give a tinkers damn what their consituents want. That they would foist this monstrosity on us despite the public outcry against it is almost unimaginable. I hope that there will be many more, larger marches on Washington and that common sense and reason will prevail. But, if last night was any indication, common sense and reason left Washington a long time ago. It is time to clean house (both White and Congressional) and the Senate. I fear that some Repubs are even in on the Dems little scheme, so they too must be weeded out and destroyed. It is time to find the truly conservative and fiscally responsible candidates and back them hard. It will not be easy as there will be much opposition from the Dem machine and their cohorts in crime. But it MUST be done to save this country and our freedoms. God Bless America and God Bless Sarah Palin."
Ha, "tinkers damn" what will those folksy rednecks think up next?
My favorite conspiracy theory is that Bart Stupak had big plans to party hard on Saturday night and Nancy Pelosi wanted to ruin them. Well played Madam Speaker. #sarahpalin
'Conspiracy Talk with Sarah Palin' sounds like a great idea for a TV pilot... provided that it's framed as humor and anyone who takes anything said on the show seriously is promptly shocked. I'm already writing the theme music in my head. #sarahpalin
@argle-bargle? or fou-ferraw?: I'd take it, fully sketched so it couldn't be stolen, to the Stewart-Colbert people if I were you. And mention that, unlike Wanda's show, they're not so progressive that they have a woman on main writing staff yet. #sarahpalin
I really hate her Political Performance Art a lot. Does she not realize her installation into VP-nominee position was arguably a stunt in the first place, and if she gets too far out on Limb Crazy the Rethugs are going to dump her just like they did Larry What's-His-Face who got busted soliciting (all right, is it still allegedly soliciting?) in that bathroom?
@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: I don't think they're ever going to drop her. Because like all their biggest players, she is ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED that she's right. That's the scariest part. She isn't just doing this for entertainment value or publicity. She's so fucking sure that she is right about everything that she will not drop it even if it looks like she's going to lose followers.
That is the kind of true believers most political movements have to grow in vats and brainwash from birth to get. Sarah Palin will never be dropped. We'll be hearing from her till we're all old and crusty. #sarahpalin
@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: The entire party is becoming political performance art. The constant interruptions and shouting by the Republicans when the Democratic Women's Caucus had the floor during last night's health care debate was just embarrassing.
