| If Democrats and independents needed any more reason to get behind our guys, Nick Rahall and Alan Mollohan, the wildly careening Sarah Palin has targeted them on her "hit list."
Palin, who dropped out of being governor of her state in order to cash in on being a reality TV star and occasional Faux News commentator, apparently wants to "fire" them.
Considering Sarah Palin couldn't bother to finish a single term of the job the people of Alaska gave her to do, Palin is in no position to tell other people in other states how to conduct their affairs.
It's funny how Palin's type of "populism" is intended to hurt working class people and help big businesses. Also.
The bill is the most sweeping piece of federal legislation since Medicare was passed in 1965. It aims to smooth out one of the roughest edges in American society - the inability of many people to afford medical care after they lose a job or get sick. ...
Right wingers like Palin claim Mollohan and Rahall went against the will of the people despite the fact polls show only 24 percent of the public approve of the way the Republican Party handled the healthcare reform issue.
But the truth is Mollohan and Rahall listened to the people. The people denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions. Young people unable to afford insurance yet not able to be covered by their parents' insurance. The people pushed into bankruptcy even though they had insurance. The people whose premiums are skyrocketing.
Every working class man, woman and child is going to benefit from this reform passed into law.
Update
The West Virginia Democratic Party has responded quickly:
Former Vice-Presidential candidate and tea party darling Sarah Palin has named twenty congressional races where she will be helping Republican candidates. Among the races that the former Alaska Governor intends to use her resources to flip are those of our Congressmen Alan Mollohan and Nick Rahall.

Update 2
Never the most emotionally mature or stable of people, Sarah Palin is going off the deep end.
The words and the rifle scopes used on the map say a lot about "violence is not the answer."
Sarah Palin may not be a serious, viable candidate for anything, but her coded words and inflammatory rhetoric are very dangerous. She derailed the debate on the HCR with her "death panels", divided the country with her "Real Americans" speech and now appears to be calling for an armed retaliation against elected representatives of the people.
I'll be waiting for Insurance Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, in her role as a member of the Civility Caucus on Capitol Hill, to denounce the uncivil words and illustrations from Palin. |
