Obviously ABC's George Stephanapoulos tried to get former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich to trash Sarah Palin, but the wily former Speaker wasn't having any of that noise.
After Stephanapoulos read Governor Palin's comments about the "evil" of a government system that would tell its patients to die instead of helping them live, Speaker Gingrich reminds us all that Obama is asking us to "trust the government" on communal standards which will set up a system where bureaucrats decide what healthcare we are "allowed" to have. The former Speaker also reminds us that these standards are a dangerous road down which to travel and that euthanasia is a likely outcome of bureaucrats deciding who is worth getting healthcare and who isn't.

Gingrich is right and so is Palin on this issue. Do we really want to hand this government, the one that cannot even govern a "cash for clunkers" program correctly, to make decisions on who is allowed to live and who will have to die?
I know I don't. No matter who is in charge in Washington, I don't want my government deciding who is worthy enough to be allowed to get healthcare.
Update (by JP): Michelle Malkin: "Death panels? What death panels? Oh, those death panels." See also Mark Tapscott: "A tale of two professors and Sarah Palin on Obama's 'death panels.'"

I read a post elsewhere that someone on FOX was trying to push Huckabee into distancing himself from Palin as well. According to the post, Huckabee didn't take the bait. The tactic by the left is to now to try and get other potential gop candidates to denounce her or at least distance themself from her so that it can keep saying that she is "divisive, and dividing the republican party, the tactic being used by David Frum already. Just a week or so ago Tim Pawlenty refused to take the bait, too. Good for them, but I still don't trust any of them.

ReplyDeleteThe liberals that want to throw granny under the bus kill unborn babies and say "don't fetus any garbage". Evil trees cannot bear good fruit. Of course they want to get rid of disabled, that is what Hitler - head of National Socialist Workers Party did.
