Comment on And by “get to keep your health care” they mean “don’t get to change your health care” (UPDATE: OK, not quite) by Greg L

So we get a government-controlled marketplace where we are required to shop for private health insurance. I’m sure THATs going to be fair. Pay off the bureaucrats, buy a whole lot of coverage we don’t need and don’t want, and we can’t directly do business with insurance companies?

Just imagine if you had to buy your house through a government-controlled marketplace. What if you were only legally allowed to hire a lawyer or an accountant through a government-controlled and managed marketplace. Your right to privately enter into contracts with other persons and entities without government interference is seriously in jeopardy here.

Just think of every transaction and contractural agreement you make going through something that looked a lot like the Department of Motor Vehicles. That’s what this looks like.

Liberals hate her, because they fear her. Which is why I got ambushed 3 times last weekend with folks wanting to bend my ear about how they support her.

Remember, Obama had only been in the U.S. Senate for 2 years before he launched his presidential campaign. Fmr. Sen. Tom Daschle had been preparing to run for President until John Thune defeated him. Daschle mentored Obama and told him to run even though Obama didn’t think he was ready yet. Daschle turned over his entire machine that he built for a presidential campaign to Obama and the timing worked out for him even though it is proving to be a disaster for America.

What would be the point of her staying on, if she could not accomplish anything more?

The establishment GOP was positioning itself to succeed her as governor. By resigning a little early she allows Sean Parnell, a fellow reformer, to assume the office of Governor and in doing this, she has sealed her legacy.

Meanwhile she can further develope the Palin brand down here in the lower 48. She understands that she must use the time that she has now, waiting until 2016 or 2020 may not be an option for her.

When the heat was turned up, she quit plain and simple. She did not serve out even 1 term. I am very, I mean very disappointed in her for this. Palin is very bright and very intelligent but I have absolutely no clue as to why she took a walk.

Reagan used the platform as a two term governor of California to launch his national career, Palin could have done the same thing as governor of Alaska.

Sarah Palin did not quit anything in that manner.

We really need to stop acting like she did. As generally politically astute individuals, we know that Sarah Palin would have been a lame duck governor, even more so with the ethics charges taking literally most of her time. As far as drama is concerned; Andrew Jackson, Abe Lincoln, and FDR, all had their fair share of drama, and they turned out OK.

Palin has resigned as one of the most accomplished governors in American history– I am not exagerrating when I say that. The fact that she secured the largest energy project in the world today, is the fact that hits the nail on the head whe it comes to her qualifications.

This is a debate that I would love to have with Palin’s detractors; prove that she is unintelligent and unqualified–if you are going to spout Axelrod’s talking points, then prove them.

I like Sarah Palin. She was a good candidate and good governor until she quit her office in my opinion. At least one full term and maybe even 2016 and two terms as governor of Alaska and she would have been president one day.

American voters in general would have rallied to her cause with the ethics stuff and Alaskan’s especially would have tired of it by her opponents but the bottom line is she walked off the job. When the going got tough it is perceived that she quit. I have had enough of Palin at this point. Way too much drama with Palin at this point. I see no good candidates right now but it is early.
