Yet Even More blogger reaction to Sarah Palin on ObamaCare

America's Right:

Palin has proven herself to be an American everywoman, a politician as truly removed from the trappings of Beltway power as Barack Obama convinced everyone he was. In fact, she was so much an everywoman--what governor cooks for her own children?--that a threatened left-leaning media abandoned every remaining shred of objectivity and professionalism and worked full-time to derail not only her candidacy, but her personal life.

[...]

That the mainstream press is attacking, personally, a woman who no longer holds a job in the public eye, is evidence in itself of exactly how much of a win Palin has orchestrated here.

[...]

Attacking Sarah Palin, you see, is merely an effort by the left to distract America from the tanking public opinion toward their proposals, their party, and their president.

Pirate's Cove:

And, now, Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark)

I can tell you, I’ve laid down my set of principles, so I will not force government-run health care on anyone. If there ever is government-run health care, the first ones to sign up should be the president and every member of Congress, including myself. You should be able to keep the insurance you’ve got today, if you like it, and always choose your own doctor. No federal funding for illegal immigrants or for abortion, and no rationing of health care. I will never vote for a bill to kill old people, period. [emphasis added]

Palin wins again!

Right Squared:

I’m not seeing the brain-dead, uninformed Sarah Palin the Democrats portrayed her to be during last year’s Presidential campaign; and they aren’t either. Her recent articles against government controlled health care present factual, compelling arguments that can’t be refuted by the Obama administration.

This is the Democrat’s worst nightmare.

[...]

Sarah Palin has hit the ground running since becoming a private citizen and has taken her spot as a powerful advocate for conservative principles, smaller government, and common sense.

[...]

Sarah Palin has been demonized and on the receiving end of unending left wing vitriol and vile personal attacks for the past year. Her crime; she’s a conservative, pro-life, pro-Constitution woman. And her liberal attackers still haven’t figured out that these continuous attacks only weaken them and strengthen Sarah Palin.

JoshuaPundit:

The Nazis has a term for it, 'unwürdig des Lebens' (unworthy of life) and used this as policy for their own version of government run healthcare to euthanize thousands of people who were mentally ill, suffering from terminal illness,or were disabled in various degrees.

Governor Sarah Palin was one of the first national figures to pick up on this, and she had a damned good personal reason to do so - she's the mother of a Down's Syndrome baby. She pointed out that there was nothing in Obamacare whatsoever to stop 'death panels' from making binding decisions on who would receive care and who wouldn't, based on age, physical condition or disability.

She was roundly ridiculed for it, especially by Democrats and the dinosaur media.No less than the New York Timesdubbed the talk about death panels 'stubborn and false'.

Except, guess what? Governor Palin was entirely correct, once again.

No Smoke Blown:

Now we know what Sarah plans to do for the next year or so. She will just pick her spot and lob in her grenade. The Left hates her so much, they will overreact. The media can’t shut her out like they do the tea parties. They hate her more than the far left. The elitist female freaks think she’s trailer trash because she didn’t go to Radcliffe and live with another woman. African Americans hate her because she’s against handouts, special minority benefits, and social programs. Disguised repatriations.

Paybacks are hell and she’s going to pay Obama back for everything his party, his friends, and his media put her and her family through in the past 18 months. She will lob a few more grenades into the health care reforms in the next month or so. She will absolutely trash cap and tax since she is more knowledgeable than anyone in Washington about energy. She will remind Obama of his campaign pledge to drill offshore.

[...]

Each step of this plan to move to a socialist country will now be hit with a grenade. A Palin shot. It will get coverage. The media thinks it is still trashing Palin. But, the media, like Obama, misreads the majority of Americans who don’t live where the media lives and don’t watch the mouthpiece media.

The Politicizer:

Sarah Palin has accomplished more in influencing the American people as a private citizen in two weeks than Democrats in Congress have since the 111th session began. Palin gained credibility as one of the leaders in countering provision 1233. She succeeded in getting it removed from the bill by informing the public of the dangers that the provision contained by giving too much unrestricted power to the federal government.

[...]

In addition to her Facebook note, Sarah Palin has also posted videos and articles countering Obamacare on her page. In one video, a woman poses a question to Obama about her elderly mother’s love of life, and her overcoming of near-death health issues. He responded by first addressing waste in the healthcare industry, then adding that under his plan, she would sit down with her doctor in these crucial situations. Her doctor would then pressure her by suggesting that she might be better off just “taking the pain killer” rather than getting such a costly surgery.

[...]

Isn’t it funny that this "backwoods", "incompetent", "irrelevant", "illiterate" former governor can create such havoc for the Democrats in Congress? Again, Democrats underestimate Sarah Palin at their own risk.

WatchBlog:

For those liberals who maintain that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is less than intelligent or a non-factor in 2012 (or both), they should consider what just occurred over the past two weeks regarding the debate over ObamaCare.

Palin not only hijacked the debate over health care, she practically forced the Democrats to reconsider the very foundation of their bill with a silkiness that would make Ronald Reagan proud. She also earned a legislative victory over Obama despite being an unelected official who some pundits have written off as irrelevant.

[...]

This woman clearly has the charisma many politicians wish they could buy. She rejuvenated Senator John McCain’s campaign, and many conservative voters believe she significantly helped the ticket. Yet who would have thought she could have such a dramatic effect on American politics without an official pulpit from which to lead?

[...]

These past two weeks, Palin demonstrated a keen understanding of how to communicate an effective message that alerts and persuades the American people. If she can do this with any regularity (and if Obama continues to attempt to ram socialist policies down our collective throats), she can take the country by storm in 2012. Whether liberals think she is stupid or irrelevant, they had better take notes. Palin is more relevant today than she was when McCain selected her as his running mate.

Oh, and given what happened the past two weeks, liberals might want to try a different strategy because ad hominem attacks like calling her "stupid" clearly haven't worked.
