Comments on: Sarah Palin’s huge 2012 move: She endorses Paul Ryan’s ‘Roadmap’

Fresh off her pronouncements on the Fed’s “quantitative easing” and federal aid to the states, Sarah Palin now adds the deficit and Medicare to her Potemkin façade of policy expertise. This is more than a little ironic for the propagator of the “death panels” myth. As it turns out, Ryan’s plan would inevitably lead to the rationing of the Medicare program on which 46 million American seniors now depend.

Hoping to lead the party that tried to block Medicare in the 1960′s and gut it in the 1990′s, Palin is endorsing Ryan’s proposal to cure what ails the health insurance system for millions of American seniors by killing it. When Ryan unveiled his Roadmap back in February, privatization of Medicare was the centerpiece. But because the value of Ryan’s vouchers fails to keep up with the out-of-control rise in premiums in the private health insurance market, America’s elderly would be forced to pay more out of pocket or accept less coverage.

George W. Bush’s disastrous drive to privatize Social Security helped undermine his presidency. Now, in the wake of a Wall Street meltdown that evaporated the retirement savings for countless thousands of Americans, the Republican Golden Boy Ryan is calling for an encore.

Yeah. Ryan is the one Republicans should be considering for president or VP. Go for it.

I don’t understand how anyone can support a woman who decided that victims of rape MUST buy their own rape kits. That just adds insult to an already demeaning injury. Not to mention her hatred of Europeans for being, well, European!! That’s just intolerance and an overwhelming/disgusting sense of superiority based on nationalism, which is not the kind of attitude I want in a leader.

She doesn’t believe in freedom for the masses and she couldn’t care less about the middle class. All she wants is money in her pockets. That’s why she quit being the Governor. There was a lot more money in book deals and speaking engagements. If anything, this woman is greed-driven and too many people are far too blind to her enslavement to money.

Palin is no more qualified to run this country than my cat. If Palin gets her way, there will be no freedom of speech unless you are a Teabagger (and I don’t mean the sexual kind) or super rich.

At every turn Sarah Palin supporters shows how uneducated and gullible the electorate of America is. At best Mrs. Palin is a parrot; at worst she is a totally unethical hypocrit – almost a kinder, prettier version of Rush Limbaugh. If she is the best the republicans can offer in 2012, than I sumbit you all should be looking ahead to 2016…

Wow, a small write up about Sarah Palin putting forth one more policy statement and people’s heads explode eh? Love it. Thanks James heard you on Tammy Bruce yesterday – Great stuff!
If Sarah is so unelectable and unqualified – then pull up your ‘depends’ boys and girls and run against her, showing her lack of depth and inexperience. End of story. Don’t see it happening so far. Just a bucnh of Carl Rove, Chris Christie, naysayers. So? Soooo….? WHERE’s THE BEEF? Where’s Casey? Who’ll step up to bat? Any principled foes? I’m waiting…. my God, my God, where’s the forum for debate gone? No One wants to step in the RING. Name calling Little Rascals can’t STAND Darla getting in the ‘boyz only’ clubhouse. My vote’s for SP. No doubt. She speaks my language. Freedom.

In no sense of the word “Qualified” is she. It’s ridiculous.

The Palin phenomenon will burn out soon enough of its own accord. Reality show overexposure has already proved to be her undoing. She portrayed herself as a serious gun enthusiast in the past, but footage of her shooting a caribou recently proves that she is only a poseur who possesses merely nominal experience with firearms. Not to mention the fact that she quit her executive office mid-term!

Anyone who hitches their star to Sarah Palin is politically doomed in the long run, although they may get a short-term boost out of it. I voted for George W. Bush in 2000. I voted in neither of the two most recent elections, because each time, I couldn’t determine which of the two candidates was the lesser of two evils. These are my opinions, and for the record, I am fiscally conservative, but socially liberal. That puts me out of step with mainstream Republicans, who are socially conservative, but too willing to tolerate policies that are fiscally liberal.

The woman does not deserve one bit of attention until she does an REAL interview in real life..not via twitter.
We call her the “twitter quitter” at my house. Perfectly apt if you ask me.

There is no end to the duplicity and misdirection your are will to swill. The choir of Sarah is deaf to your pleadings, have another hot pocket that your mom brought down to you in the basement.

And the winners are TinyOne, Gotthardbahn, and MtCDoc1. Well said, guys.

As a lifelong political conservative and now Tea Party supporter, I believe that Sarah Palin is a genuine “disaster waiting to happen.” I only hope that her windfall celebrity book and TV money is enough to keep Sarah and her trailer-trash family fat, happy, contented, and away from the Republican primaries.
