The Power Of Palin: Oprah Bows To Sarah

Thursday, October 22, 2009 2 Responses

Bob Beers, of Canada Free Press, wrote an interesting piece: Oprah bows to Palin. I posted part of the article.

I heard today that Sarah Palin has been invited to appear on Oprah Winfrey’s show.

After picking my jaw up from the ground, I ran back over my archives. During the campaign, Oprah had Obama on enough time for her to qualify as one of his campaign operatives. Sarah Palin didn’t even get a consideration much less an invitation. Perhaps it is because her forthcoming book, “Going Rogue” is a bestseller even before it hits the bookstores. This link tells the story. People cannot get it yet and it has blown every single Democrat book that could even be considered competition out of the water.

I have a feeling that part of the reason is that most Democrats do not have the intelligence to read books much less write them. If you want to have a book be a best seller, you have to cater to the reading community, and being liberal immediately removes you from consideration.

Right below Going Rogue is The Lost Symbol and Arguing With Idiots by Glenn Beck. You have to go waaaay down the list to find a liberal piece. It is interesting to note it that Palin is still considered a polarizing figure even after stepping away from the Governor’s mansion in Alaska. What I find most puzzling is the absolute hatred the left expressed toward her though not one of those expressing that hatred had ever met her.

Martin Luther King, the iconic figure of the equal rights movement, expressed a dream not one member of the left has ever fulfilled; to judge a person by his or her character, not by the color of the skin they wear. Sarah Palin has exemplified nothing but superlative character even under withering fire from both her political enemies and those who should have been her political allies. No wonder, when given the chance, she removed herself from the firing line.

Right now the Republican Party is experiencing free fall. Old guard members such as Bob Dole have even gone so far as to sign on to Obama’s ruinous Health Care takeover bill. In New York the party has nominated a woman for an open congressional seat whose voting record makes Chuck Schumer look conservative. Across the nation similar idiotic moves by the GOP are taking place. The party leadership has given up and decided that accommodation is the way to go. Sarah Palin’s record proves that wrong which is why they attacked her, joining with the liberals.

Obama has continued to use the phrase, “America, a country it should be,” in his speeches. The left does not want America to be what it was, the land of the free, and the home of the brave; the wealthiest, the strongest, the best. They want every country to get “participation ribbons” simply for being there. It is like Obama’s Nobel Prize. He got it for his intentions and nothing more. Sarah Palin’s book and her invitation onto the Oprah Obama show say something else entirely.

Gallup Poll: Governor Sarah Palin Just Getting Started

Wednesday, October 21, 2009 1 Response

Governor Sarah Palin’s popularity is growing and growing. First we see her impact on major issues like Health Care, Energy Policy, Afghanistan, and the economy all with simple Facebook postings. We then see off the charts book sales, a price war between retail giants like Walmart, Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble and Boarders and reports her book could save the slow sales season. AMAZING!! She also has a commanding lead in most polls for 2012.

UPI and Gallup had this to say:
Poll: Edwards done, Palin may be starting. Despite a decline in Palin's ratings, however, Gallup said her ability to stay in the news – particularly since her surprise resignation as Alaska's governor -- may allow her to move from being a vice presidential candidate in one election to being a presidential candidate in the next.

Palin went from a 53 percent rating right after her nomination as Arizona Sen. John McCain's running mate at the Republican National Convention to 42 percent at the time of the ticket's defeat at the polls in November. Her ratings have dropped an additional two percent since then, the poll indicted.

The poll results were based on telephone interviews conducted Oct. 1-4, 2009 with 1,013 national adults. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points. A typical small amount polled and not reflective of the overall population.

For those interested, I discovered a nice website: Reagan To Palin

(Pre-Order) Palin Nation: How Sarah Can Win The White House in 2012

Monday, October 19, 2009 1 Response

A new book about Sarah Palin and how she can win The White House will be available October 31st. It is available for pre-order from Patriot Depot. I posted the short synopsis of the new book written by Dr. David L. Geotsch and Dr Archie P. Jones.

Barack Obama is setting the stage for a conservative tidal wave in politics. Jimmy Carter’s weakness in foreign relations and failed economic policies paved the way for the Republican revolution led by Ronald Reagan. Now Barack Obama’s timid foreign policy and socialist economic policies are paving the way for a new conservative revolution in politics. This new revolution can be led by Sarah Palin if she will capitalize on the mistakes and missteps of the Obama administration. This book presents six broad strategies that will help Sarah Palin take full advantage of the reasons President Obama’s approval rating fell so precipitously following the traditional post-election honeymoon. These strategies will allow Sarah Palin to do what Ronald Reagan did when running against Jimmy Carter: take full advantage of her broad grassroots appeal to restore America’s confidence, get government out of the pockets of taxpayers, reinvigorate the free market, encourage entrepreneurship and the traditional work ethic, restore America’s position as leader of the free world, command the respect of our allies and enemies, eliminate America’s new entitlement mentality, and remind American’s that government is the problem not the solution.

About the Authors:

Sarah Palin: Good Intentions Aren't Enough with Health Care Reform

Sunday, October 18, 2009 1 Response

Now that the Senate Finance Committee has approved its health care bill, it’s a good time to step back and take a look at the long term consequences should its provisions be enacted into law.

The bill prohibits insurance companies from refusing coverage to people with pre-existing conditions and from charging sick people higher premiums. [1] It attempts to offset the costs this will impose on insurance companies by requiring everyone to purchase coverage, which in theory would expand the pool of paying policy holders.

However, the maximum fine for those who refuse to purchase health insurance is $750. [2] Even factoring in government subsidies, the cost of purchasing a plan is much more than $750. The result: many people, especially the young and healthy, will simply not buy coverage, choosing to pay the fine instead. They’ll wait until they’re sick to buy health insurance, confident in the knowledge that insurance companies can’t deny them coverage. Such a scenario is a perfect storm for increasing the cost of health care and creating an unsustainable mandate program.

Those driving this plan no doubt have good intentions, but good intentions aren’t enough. There were good intentions behind the drive to increase home ownership for lower-income Americans, but forcing financial institutions to give loans to people who couldn’t afford them had terrible unintended consequences. We all felt those consequences during the financial collapse last year. Unintended consequences always result from top-down big government plans like the current health care proposals, and we can’t afford to ignore that fact again.

Supposedly the Senate Finance bill will be paid for by cutting Medicare by nearly half a trillion dollars and by taxing the so-called “Cadillac” health care plans enjoyed by many union members. The plan will also impose heavy taxes on insurers, pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, and clinical labs. [3] The result of all of these taxes is clear. As Douglas Holtz-Eakin noted in the Wall Street Journal, these new taxes “will be passed on to consumers by either directly raising insurance premiums, or by fueling higher health-care costs that inevitably lead to higher premiums.” [4] Unfortunately, it will lead to lower wages too, as employees will have to sacrifice a greater percentage of their paychecks to cover these higher premiums. [5] In other words, if the Democrats succeed in overhauling health care, we’ll all bear the costs. The Senate Finance bill is effectively a middle class tax increase, and as Holtz-Eakin points out, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation those making less than $200,000 will be hit hardest. [6]

With our country’s debt and deficits growing at an alarming rate, many of us can’t help but wonder how we can afford a new trillion dollar entitlement program. The president has promised that he won’t sign a health care bill if it “adds even one dime to our deficit over the next decade.” [7] But his administration also promised that his nearly trillion dollar stimulus plan would keep the unemployment rate below 8%. [8] Last month, our employment rate was 9.8%, the highest it’s been in 26 years. [9] At first the current administration promised that the stimulus would save or create 3 to 4 million jobs. [10] Then they declared that it created 1 million jobs, but the stimulus reports released this week showed that a mere 30,083 jobs have been created, while nearly 3.4 million jobs have been lost since the stimulus was passed. [11] Should we believe the administration’s claims about health care when their promises have proven so unreliable about the stimulus?

In January 2008, presidential candidate Obama promised not to negotiate behind closed doors with health care lobbyists. In fact, he committed to “broadcasting those negotiations on C-SPAN so that the American people can see what the choices are. Because part of what we have to do is enlist the American people in this process. And overcoming the special interests and the lobbyists...” [12] However, last February, after serving only a few weeks in office, President Obama met privately at the White House with health care industry executives and lobbyists. [13] Yesterday, POLITICO reported that aides to President Obama and Democrat Senator Max Baucus met with corporate lobbyists in April to help “set in motion a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign, primarily financed by industry groups, that has played a key role in bolstering public support for health care reform.” [14] Needless to say, their negotiations were not broadcast on C-SPAN for the American people to see.

Presidential candidate Obama also promised that he would not “sign any nonemergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House Web site for five days.” [15] PolitiFact reports that this promise has already been broken three times by the current administration. [16] We can only hope that it won’t be broken again with health care reform.

All of this certainly gives the appearance of politics-as-usual in Washington with no change in sight.

Americans want health care reform because we want affordable health care. We don’t need subsidies or a public option. We don’t need a nationalized health care industry. We need to reduce health care costs. But the Senate Finance plan will dramatically increase those costs, all the while ignoring common sense cost-saving measures like tort reform. Though a Congressional Budget Office report confirmed that reforming medical malpractice and liability laws could save as much as $54 billion over the next ten years, tort reform is nowhere to be found in the Senate Finance bill. [17]

Here’s a novel idea. Instead of working contrary to the free market, let’s embrace the free market. Instead of going to war with certain private sector companies, let’s embrace real private-sector competition and allow consumers to purchase plans across state lines. Instead of taxing the so-called “Cadillac” plans that people get through their employers, let’s give individuals who purchase their own health care the same tax benefits we currently give employer-provided health care recipients. Instead of crippling Medicare, let’s reform it by providing recipients with vouchers so that they can purchase their own coverage.

Now is the time to make your voices heard before it’s too late. If we don’t fight for the market-oriented, patient-centered, and result-driven reform plan that we deserve, we’ll be left with the disastrous unintended consequences of the plans currently being cooked up in Washington.
