Sarah Palin: GOP health care reform proposal a "game changer"

Posting again on her Facebook Notes page, Sarah Palin promoted the GOP's health care reform plan as a "game changer" which offers "common sense solutions." The former Alaska governor advised her more than 955,000 Facebook followers to tune in to House Republican Leader John Boehner's weekly Republican address to the nation:

"Rep. Boehner will highlight a common sense alternative to Speaker Pelosi's 1,990-page government takeover of health care. I urge you to watch for it. For a preview, go to: http://www.gop.gov/solutions/healthcare.gov."

"You'll hear solutions. You'll hear of real choices based on America's proven free-market principles. You'll know once and for all what the GOP and Independents have been saying all along about alternatives to another big government take over. After tomorrow, you'll know that accusations against the GOP and Independents for not providing solutions are false. Those claims are bogus. There are alternatives."

Sarah Palin's full op-ed is here.

By endorsing Doug Hoffman, the Republican Party's 2008 vice presidential candidate sent a message to the GOP that when they don’t act like the party of Reagan, she will oppose them. With this Facebook op-ed, she is demonstrating to them that when they do the right thing, she will support them. Also significant, as Moe Lane points out:

"...if you were holding out hope that former Governor Palin was going to play third-party advocate… you might as well stop. This is her way of saying that NY-23 is a special case, not a general one; and that she’s still in, and in with, the GOP."

Sorry Glenn Beck, but as we said, you're wrong on this one.

If not absolutely brilliant, you have to admit that this is very, very clever. Sarah's nicknames -- Sarahcuda and Mama Bear -- are well-known, but lately and for good reason, she is becoming known as The Arctic Fox.
