My sense is that Sarah Palin doesn't know what she believes or doesn't believe. She doesn't know what she supports or doesn't support. She's being used, and it's her own fault for never taking a passionate unwavering stand on anything of substance in our political dialogue. (consistently implying that Obama is a terrorist does not qualify as substance.)

She may have been hypocritical and there's no question her claim is an outright lie, but she still managed to scare Harry Reid and our wimpy Democratic Senators into dropping that much needed provision from the bill.
Sad,

What I find interesting is that she made this declaration on April 16, 2008 and Trig was born on April 18, 2008.

Now, 16 months later, Palin is not only 180 degrees from her declaration, but also suggesting that these Death Panels are going to kill her baby.

I guess nothing happens in this world until it happens to Palin.

What a fcuking hypocrite!

PEACE

Actually, and advance directive and a power of attorney are two different things, but are often combined and called "a living will."

As you might conclude, an "advance directive" directs, in advance, what kind of end of life care you want. Do you want all efforts to keep you alive? Fine, you can state that in advance and your greedy children AND the government death panel will NOT be able to pull the plug. But if you want to direct that certain things NOT be done, you can do that to.

So despite the fact that "deathers" are afraid of it, an advance directive is the BEST way to assure no one pulls the plug.

A power of attorney for health care appoints someone else to make decisions for you if you are incapacitated. If you want to live as long as medical science can keep you alive, you'll want to have an advance directive, in addition to giving someone else a POA, or the person with the POA WILL be able to pull the plug.

She "walked the original death panel comment back"?

I think she doubled down. http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=116471698434

It reads like a shit storm of lies.

This silly woman is so obviously sublimating her own feelings of guilt for having tried to spontaneously abort poor little Trig on her flight from Texas to Alaska. No one can blame her for feeling guilty about this, or for having such misgivings about carrying a Downs baby to term. We can, however, blame her for trying to turn her own twisted feelings into a public platform. Leave your children alone. Mrs. Palin? Leave my children alone, and the rest of us for that matter.

Sarah Palin's handlers know one thing, and they know it well... there is no such thing as bad publicity... Sarah Palin is the latest in a stream of know-nothing dummies who know how to read a teleprompter... and the more we hear about her, the more we hear about her, the more we hear about her... its what wins elections... name recognition... if we saw it on TV, must be good...right?... everybody's talking about it, must be good...right?... can't remember who said it, but it makes sense to me, must be so... right?... brace yourselves!... Palin in 2012, by a landslide!... you can say you heard it here first... must be so, right?...

First appointment to Death Panel.

I am getting sick and tired of TPM obsession with Sarah, she has been your cover girl since last week. At the slightest tweet she makes your day. C'mon

this dumbass hooker does not have a clue, she is just a prostitutefor the repbulican party, she has no political future at all, there is no way in hell she would ever be elected as POTUS.

See also Jon Stewart's take on this from last night. He showed Glen Beck ranting this week about how we have the greatest health care system in the world. Then he showed tape of Beck ranting after his surgery a year and half ago about how bad his health care was. Just another wingnut hypocrite.
