Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin addressed the Orange County Republicans at their annual Lincoln Day fundraiser event. 1300 Americans who happen to be Republican attended the event and cheered her speech.
C4P reports on the local the media coverage of the event. Governor Palin 4 President has photos from the event along with snippets of her speech.
Sarah Palin fired back at the left leaning pundits who hyperventilated over her use of crib notes during the Tea Party convention keynote speech. At a rally today in support of Governor Rick Perry, sse sent a crib note to her mom – Hi Mom!
Her response is classy and priceless – Sarahcuda scores again:
Hi Mom!

A reminder of what it looks like when you don’t use crib notes:
Sarah Palin - A New Face on Fox
Recall all those delusional folks who claimed Sarah Palin brought down McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign?
Turns out they were wrong.
Via Breitbart:
Sarah Palin and Sen. John McCain plan to campaign together again.The Arizona Republican announced Wednesday that the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate will join McCain in Phoenix on March 26 to help campaign for his re-election to the U.S. Senate.
It seems McCain knows a winner – I predict a win for McCain.
Sarah Palin - A New Face on Fox
Let liberal aneurysms begin:
2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is joining Fox News as a contributor, the news channel announced Monday.
The former Alaska governor, whose book, Going Rogue: An American Life, became a bestseller weeks before it was released and remains No. 2 on the New York Times bestseller list, has signed a multi-year deal to offer her political commentary and analysis across all Fox News platforms, including Fox Business Channel, FoxNews.com and Fox News Radio.
Sarah Palin was able to effect positive changes in the Dems health care scheme using FaceBook posts – imagine what she’ll accomplish on Fox News.
Going Rogue - An American Life
Over the past weeks, I’ve read fantastic reviews of this book. Check out Bank of Kev and American Thinker’s review of Going Rogue, both are outstanding works in their own right. I’ve borrowed the question set from the Bank of Kev review in order to frame my thoughts on the book.

Peter Heck, a public high school teacher, penned an articulate and reasoned case of the mainstream media’s obsessive Palin bashing. Quite frankly, the writing is on the wall and the MSM is scared…
Since the moment she burst onto the national scene, there has been an unparalleled effort amongst the so-called sophisticated elites to destroy Sarah Palin. Unparalleled, but not unprecedented.
In the 1970s, the dominant left feared the rise of another radical right-wing governor of a western state — you might remember his name: Ronald Reagan — and they utilized a full arsenal of tactics to try to slow his meteoric rise. Comparing their words and actions then to their current anti-Palin crusade now is stunning.
Of course the tone and actions of today’s Democrats are off the charts. I’m sure Reagan was not hung in effigy, nor was his personal contact information made public. But that was then, this is now. Hopefully, in the end, the result will be the same:
After all, everyone knows how the Reagan story ended: the annihilation of a bumbling predecessor, a clear conservative agenda that revitalized the American economy and ended the Cold War, a landslide re-election of embarrassing proportions, and a legacy as one of America’s greatest Chief Executives. Considering then the striking parallels between the “Gipper” and the “Pitbull with lipstick,” maybe the left’s deranged animosity towards her is simply born out of a fear of the inevitable.
2012 cannot come soon enough.
No Healthcare Reform without Legal Reform
The following was posted on Sarah Palin’s FaceBook account. Spot on analysis with supporting data listed below the text.
President Obama’s health care “reform” plan has met with significant criticism across the country. Many Americans want change and reform in our current health care system. We recognize that while we have the greatest medical care in the world, there are major problems that we must face, especially in terms of reining in costs and allowing care to be affordable for all. However, as we have seen, current plans being pushed by the Democratic leadership represent change that may not be what we had in mind — change which poses serious ethical concerns over the government having control over our families’ health care decisions. In addition, the current plans greatly increase costs of health care, while doing lip service toward controlling costs.
We need to address a REAL bipartisan reform proposition that will have REAL impacts on costs and quality of patient care.
Sarahcuda – 1 Obama – Zero
Yesterday, Sarah Palin posted a slamming rebuttal on FaceBook, addressing criticism of her stance on Obamacare. It is refreshing to note that she is more familiar with the plan than Obama or any Democrat legislators and backs up her statements with citations – when was the last time a Democrat bothered to do so?
The entire text from FaceBook was cut and pasted to this post:
Yesterday President Obama responded to my statement that Democratic health care proposals would lead to rationed care; that the sick, the elderly, and the disabled would suffer the most under such rationing; and that under such a system these “unproductive” members of society could face the prospect of government bureaucrats determining whether they deserve health care.
The President made light of these concerns. He said:
“Let me just be specific about some things that I’ve been hearing lately that we just need to dispose of here. The rumor that’s been circulating a lot lately is this idea that somehow the House of Representatives voted for death panels that will basically pull the plug on grandma because we’ve decided that we don’t, it’s too expensive to let her live anymore….It turns out that I guess this arose out of a provision in one of the House bills that allowed Medicare to reimburse people for consultations about end-of-life care, setting up living wills, the availability of hospice, etc. So the intention of the members of Congress was to give people more information so that they could handle issues of end-of-life care when they’re ready on their own terms. It wasn’t forcing anybody to do anything.” [1]
The provision that President Obama refers to is Section 1233 of HR 3200, entitled “Advance Care Planning Consultation.” [2] With all due respect, it’s misleading for the President to describe this section as an entirely voluntary provision that simply increases the information offered to Medicare recipients. The issue is the context in which that information is provided and the coercive effect these consultations will have in that context.
Section 1233 authorizes advanced care planning consultations for senior citizens on Medicare every five years, and more often “if there is a significant change in the health condition of the individual … or upon admission to a skilled nursing facility, a long-term care facility… or a hospice program.” [3] During those consultations, practitioners must explain “the continuum of end-of-life services and supports available, including palliative care and hospice,” and the government benefits available to pay for such services. [4]
Now put this in context. These consultations are authorized whenever a Medicare recipient’s health changes significantly or when they enter a nursing home, and they are part of a bill whose stated purpose is “to reduce the growth in health care spending.” [5] Is it any wonder that senior citizens might view such consultations as attempts to convince them to help reduce health care costs by accepting minimal end-of-life care? As Charles Lane notes in the Washington Post, Section 1233 “addresses compassionate goals in disconcerting proximity to fiscal ones…. If it’s all about alleviating suffering, emotional or physical, what’s it doing in a measure to “bend the curve” on health-care costs?” [6]
63% of those polled believe Sarah Palin will be a viable candidate in 2012.
Run, baby, Run!
The ‘Cap And Tax’ Dead End
Sarah Palin
We have an important choice to make. Do we want to control our energy supply and its environmental impact? Or, do we want to outsource it to China, Russia and Saudi Arabia? Make no mistake: President Obama’s plan will result in the latter.For so many reasons, we can’t afford to kill responsible domestic energy production or clobber every American consumer with higher prices.
Can America produce more of its own energy through strategic investments that protect the environment, revive our economy and secure our nation?
Yes, we can. Just not with Barack Obama’s energy cap-and-tax plan.
