Palin on Obamanomics: We tried to warn you

She really did, back in the days when expressing even mild skepticism about The One’s pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class was cause for having your dirty laundry aired on the national news. From her RNC acceptance speech:
But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed … when the roar of the crowd fades away … when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot — what exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger … take more of your money … give you more orders from Washington … and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world…
Taxes are too high … he wants to raise them. His tax increases are the fine print in his economic plan, and let me be specific.
The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes … raise payroll taxes … raise investment income taxes … raise the death tax … raise business taxes … and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars…
How are you going to be better off if our opponent adds a massive tax burden to the American economy?
Don’t forget taxes on health-care benefits. Says Palin to Hannity of our new federal colossus, “It’s expanding at such a large degree that if Americans aren’t paying attention, unfortunately our country could evolve into something that we do not even recognize.” Are Americans paying attention? The astounding thing about that Gallup poll Ed posted earlier isn’t that a majority now disapprove of how The One’s controlling federal spending, it’s that it’s a bare majority — 51/45 — despite the projections of trillion-dollar deficits for the next decade. In fact, on the issue of the deficit itself, Obama doesn’t even attract majority disapproval: 48 percent are unfavorable versus 46 percent who are favorable, a spread within the poll’s margin of error. I’m tempted to blame the media, which is still letting him get away with his nonsensical “jobs created or saved” crap, for not pushing the meme of how ruinous this course is, but The One himself has copped to its unsustainability both in public forums and in interviews. The information’s out there. A lot of people simply don’t care, evidently.
Here he is this morning finding the silver lining in the fact that “only” 345,000 more jobs were lost in May, which, by his own admission, is almost twice as many as have been “created or saved” by the stimulus in the three months since it passed in February. Cost per job so far based on the most recent figure of how much money’s been spent or obligated: Just south of $75,000.

Palin’s “street smarts” experience is legitimate; whereas Obama’s is thuggery.
His intelligence is no greater than Palin’s. And his actions in office along with the Washingtonians prove that there’s no trusting Ivy League or country club insiders asserting the prick ideology and mannerisms to do what’s right for America.
Drill here. Drill now. Prosper with JOBS, natural energy, free trade, strong economy into recovery and prosperity with LOW TAXES while rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure.
Go Conservative and hold our elected officials responsible for their corruption and Socialist legislation.
Palin has my support. She took the worst and most undeserved abuse of any national candidate for office to my memory. I’m glad that she’s free of McCain, and that she’s proven she can not be dismissed as she’s still hard at work for America. By doing right for Alaska, our most unique state (Hawaii is positioned strategically as well but does not provide our nation’s essential natural resources as Alaska does), Palin is still doing right for America.
maverick muse on June 8, 2009 at 2:52 PM
That’s kind of disingenuous. There is all kinds of gray area between the extremes on both sides (even if each individual abortion is necessarily binary). Aside from the federal vs. states rights issue, you’ve got the question of subsidizing, the issue of the rare mutually lethal pregnancy, and active destruction vs. preventing implantation (I don’t include the rape/incest exception here, as I find it misogynistic).

The only way to get Palin elected is from the bottom up. The journalist and professional politicians have nothing but disdain for the average American. Palin is not refined enough for them and threatens their hold on power and privilege.
Go to a tea party – get involved locally and drive the current political class out of the system from the bottom up and then we can elect someone who is represents the true majority (not just the loudest group) of Americans.

why dont we have more talent out in front to choose from? Are they all too fearful? What am I missing here? They dont seem to support one another at all. Its time to get your act together GOP. As people are becoming more aware of the failure of Obamanomics the GOP better have workable ideas available to the public. Time is short.

The beltway REPs thought that OBAMA’s economic plan would work! that is why no one from washington is attacking him. We are so screwed..

Nancy Pelosi is to the right of Obama when it comes to abortion. Tiller might have been to the right of Obama on abortion. Perhaps if McCain had been interested in seeking the “common ground” Obama pays lip service to, but is too far to the left to actually see, they may have thought differently about their vote.
littleguy on June 8, 2009 at 2:55 PM
Then your friends aren’t too smart, because McCain stated very clearly that he believes that life starts at conception.

You are very entitled to your opinion on abortion. I don’t agree with you but if you like the woman you don’t have to agree with her on all the issues. I like her and don’t agree with her on a couple of issues.
youngO on June 8, 2009 at 2:55 PM
If true, then Palin would never get any credit for any accurate criticism of Obama, because she was just opposed to him.
Very convenient.
That reasoning does sound suspiciously familiar, though. Kinda like the notion that there is no truth, just statements made by those in power to help themselves. Or that the end justifies the means. Or that the founding fathers were just rich white guys structuring the new government in such a way as to maintain their power.
In fact, it sounds a lot like the primary world view of leftists everywhere.
tom on June 8, 2009 at 2:56 PM
I don’t see anyone here saying that Palin is a genius. What we’re saying is:
a) She saw Obama for the fraud that he is, a long time ago.
b) It doesn’t take a genius, it jut takes someone who can put 2 and 2 together and get 4 (also known as having common sense)
You’re a dumbass, and you seem to enjoy proving time and again that there is no rational defense of Obama’s policies, and all you can do is to resort to personal attacks on anyone who speaks against them.
UltimateBob on June 8, 2009 at 2:57 PM

Have you watched an abortion? Have you seen a partial-birth abortion?
mankai on June 8, 2009 at 3:00 PM
I suggest that you’ll notice more and more that folks around here are more conservative than they are GOP. Many of us have had to finally admit the GOP moved farther to the left than is comfortable. Any Republican who supports abortion rights (among other conservative values) has abandoned conservative ideology for self-promotion.
That is the split in the GOP. That is why the GOP’ers are immobilized. They can’t suddenly develop an ideology they don’t believe in, and they know they can’t continue as RINOs.

That’s probably it, really. Birth control always has a small chance of failure, and these people want absolute assurance that everything will go as planned. Abortion provides that one last contingency to guarantee that giving birth does not interfere.
Absolute guarantee can also be seen as the rest of what P.BO offers.

It’s still not as bad as it was when this story was in the headlines. We (myself included) got sidetracked by the picture on Drudge of Michelle giving the “hairy eyeball” to Sarkozy’s hot wife.

Remember that during the campaign John McCain said that Barack Obama would make a fine President.
Sarah Palin never made such a statement.
bw222 on June 8, 2009 at 3:06 PM
Reversing Roe V. Wade merely puts it back into the states jurisdiction to decide on.
I sorta wish that I wouldn’t have to argue with you on this.
If Obama had had his way several decades ago, perhaps you wouldn’t be around to argue with?
Neither would allowing abortion unabated sustain a country to debate these things.
You, could’ve been a goner after conception.
Would we be better off without a dimwit like you?
You mean like the Europeans?
You’re argument here has zero basis in reality, because the commies in EU are learning from their mistakes.
And oh yea, you’re an idiot!
Mcguyver on June 8, 2009 at 3:10 PM
There it is. This is the money question.
Of course she hasn’t (Sorry, Ann). No one who does (and yes I have…) would walk away thinking abortion is okay.
bluelightbrigade on June 8, 2009 at 3:11 PM
Not exactly:
300 million x 1 million works out to this:
300,000,000 x 1,000,000 = 300,000,000,000,000 or 300 trillion
But what’s bad is how little you would have to adjust the statement to get close to the real deficits we’re running.
Cut it down to $100 thousand apiece, and you get this:
300,000,000 x 100,000 = 30,000,000,000,000 or 30 trillion
which gets uncomfortably close to the actual deficits we’re looking at over the next few years.
tom on June 8, 2009 at 3:13 PM
That would be 300 TRILLION dollars, which is much more than the Porkulus package cost. If you assume 300 million Americans and $787 Billion dollars, that comes out to $2,623 per person, or $10,493 for a family of four.
Earth to Obama: What did we get for our money?
Steve Z on June 8, 2009 at 3:15 PM
Can I ask a simple question-What proof is there that Ms.Palin has forced her pro-life views into her governing style? What law has she passed that negates Roe v Wade in order to strike such terror in pro-choice hearts? What power would she wield if she ever attains a presidential or vice-presidential office that could overturn Roe v Wade.
Keep SCOTUS out of this discussion, because as we have all noted in the current dialog,just because you nominate an individual does not mean that they will be accepted. So fill me in on the power Palin would wield over RvW. No offense is intended to anyone.

Politics, sausage, and abortion.
Anyone who likes them should not watch them being made.
BobMbx on June 8, 2009 at 3:16 PM
Being a social conservative to Sarah Palin means to be personally driven by moral clarity and scruples.
The reason the Far Left hates Sarah Palin is not for personal viewpoints but that it is at odds with Obama’s totalitarian agenda to turn America into a Narcissistic cesspool replete with effete elitists, amoral sensualists and mind-numbed drones.

Guess I misremembered the acceptable practices. Also appreciate you not flaming me there.
cs89 on June 8, 2009 at 3:17 PM
I like to avoid bringing emotional content into these arguments. After all, doesn’t this change if the abortion in question was of a child that could not have survived, in order to save the life of a mother who would have died giving birth? Both would look the same to an observer.
Count to 10 on June 8, 2009 at 3:17 PM
Quick note – even if Roe Wade were overturned, it would simply toss it back to the states – not outlaw the procedure.
Also, while this is a divisive issue, one would think that certain aspects, such as the partial birth abortion, would draw universal condemnation from both pro and choice. Our friends far a port, however, somehow justify even this.
maninthemiddle on June 8, 2009 at 3:18 PM
Gov. Palin lives as a social conservative and expresses her personal views on such, but I don’t think she governs Alaska from that platform. She is a common sense fiscal conservative that recognizes our need for energy independence and strong national security.
I seriously doubt she would support federal dollars being spent overseas for abortions, but I don’t see her on a mission to reverse Roe vs. Wade either.
joedoe on June 8, 2009 at 3:18 PM
Palin / Prejean 2012?
Yeah, Prejean will still be under 35 then. But Obama wasn’t a natural born citizen, that didn’t stop him.

OK, hear this. GOP now apparently wants Sarah back at the dinner and is working the phones to get her.

johnnybgood on June 8, 2009 at 3:22 PM
Well, that’s the way it should work, in theory, but I think there is the fear that it would only get overturned because the child is granted the right to life, which would necessarily extend murder laws to cover abortion, and again remove control from the states, just in the other direction.
Count to 10 on June 8, 2009 at 3:23 PM
I think what this really boils down to is….neither side is ready for a female president. They certainly don’t want it known, that it’s possible, a woman can do the job. There’s enough ego in D.C., that if it were food, the world would NEVER go hungry.

bluelightbrigade on June 8, 2009 at 3:30 PM
That’s a good point. But, if we could get Roe v. Wade overturned, I bet we could get abortion outlawed the same day. Wishful thinking, I know.
Ya know, there is the possibility of requiring females to take birth control at all times, and when they are ready and willing to have a child, they can seek a court order to temporarily stop the birth control. Of course, some certifications would have to be made concerning the financial and emotional capacity of the mother to raise the child IAW the government standards.
Hmmmm….no abortions and unlimited sex….a perfect solution for both sides.

I got a benefits letter today from the Social Security Administration telling me that the system would be paying out more than it takes in by 2017 and that the “trust fund” ( which does not actually exist ) would be gone by 2042 or so
–and that we should “do something”, otherwise the system would pay out only “78 cents on the dollar” of benefits, or less
Who was that message aimed at?
Palin, as always, gets to the point effectively with compassion and a compelling logic. She IS Reagan, or as close as we’ll see.
That’s what drives the Leftie Trolls crazy……

AP, you blame the media for The One’s (”sort of God”) high approval ratings because they aren’t doing any honest reporting . . . did it ever occur to you that they might possibly be tampering with those opinion poll numbers? I mean really, if they would lie in their news coverage, maybe they’re also lying about those numbers. Granted, I’m from the heartland, but I know several people, including my Democratic family members, who are suffering buyer’s remorse. And I look at some Jewish blogs, people not known for being conservative, and they are really upset about his foreign policy sell-out of Israel. I just think there’s something really odd going on here. Something doesn’t smell right . . .

Since you are talking about both sides in DC I agree with you. But this is not true in the real America. I already voted for Sarah. She just had this aging ugly tumor that was dragging her down last time. Glad she’s rid of it.

This is why I like Gov. Palin. She also has no “card” to play, other than being a woman. She’s not black, she’s not a veteran, she doesn’t come from a patriarchical political family, she didn’t attend an Ivy League school, etc….
She is simply a smart person, who has learned how to lead without being arrogant or hypocritical.
I think Jefferson, Adams, Henry, etc…would be proud (and it goes without saying, so would Franklin).

You’re a joke. Im nearly done raising my 4,my youngest is near 15.

I am an “empty nester” that has just recently begun to have the time to do the things that I wanted to do,but I have to tell you, its jerks that think like you that have made it hard for mothers to have careers.
Am I to stay home and take care of my children too, or do I have your permission to run for office? Should all conservative women just stay home and take care of their children? Who do you think you are- to sit in judgement of another parent? What do you think of Biden’s brats and the partying they were involved in? Shouldnt he stay home and take care of his children also?

Until some bright politician is able to come up with a clever and simple way of demonstrating to the masses how these mounting deficits will affect them and their families, directly, then the tax raising bureaucrats are all safe.

WHOA! Hit a nerve there, did I Mcguyver? Your post makes no sense and does not address any of the issues I was raising. Personal attacks are the stomping grounds of those without an argument.
- AND? What’s your point?
- I have no idea what you are insinuating, or how it has anything to do with the FACT that countries that are taken over by other countries no longer have the freedom to decide what happens from a legal perspective.
Someday voters will realize gay marriage, abortion, health care, education only matters if you HAVE A COUNTRY that can debate those things.
-But if you choose a terrible president based solely on their stance on abortion you could get taken over by enemies. That would end the debate, unless the country is a peaceful utopia, in which case it probably wouldn’t be taking over other countries.
At the rate we’re going we’ll be steamrolled by commies before people realize defense and economic viability are the most important issues to vote on.
- NO, I mean like the commies, like I said. North Korea, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, and their useful friends like Iran, Syria, etc. Never said a thing about the Euros, Euro.
HOW are the “commies in the EU” learning from their mistakes? And who, exactly, are they? My dimwit, idiot, engineer mind can’t work teh majik and read your giant, omniscient thoughts. Spell it out, genius.

AnninCA:
Regarding the abortion issue and as many others have said: Palin is staunchly pro-life. But, here’s the deal. (Atleast in my point of view and I think several others will agree) she tends to govern from a libertarian position, which is why, I think she IS and can be appealing to moderates (such as yourself) – yes she has her beliefs, but she doesn’t shove them down others throats. You know, you can agree to disagree with her on some issues and still be a supporter. Not everyone will agree on everything. Just a question, and I’m not being rude when I ask you this, I am just curious. What is your fear/concern of her position on abortion?

Notice how all of the Leftists trolls posting in this thread can do one thing, and only one thing, and that is to hurl ad hominems ar Palin?
They can’t refute what she is saying, so they have to attack her personally.
Saul Alinsky is looking up at them and smiling approvingly.

And everyone, seriously, regarding the trolls that come on these boards, just ignore them. They come here to leave a snarky little comment just to stir the pot. We will not change their minds and they will not change ours. But, don’t respond to them, that’s what they want. Just ignore them and they will have no reason to continue to comment.

Do you Palin gushers really think all 20,000 people showed up just for her? There was a parade. Its not like Upstate New York had a lot of special celebrations. Just admit that doesn’t prove anything.

I don’t know anyone who regrets voting for Obama. I’m very proud I did and will 100% vote for him in 2012. I know many of my generation, and the new voting generation who will turn 18 in the next 4 years, feel the same and will show up in the millions. All he needs is 50+1%…and I’m sure he’s already got it wrapped up.

Tried to warn us about what. The US economy going off a cliff in the fall of 2008? Easy to criticize spending, deficits, and nationalizations but no party planned for what happened in the aftermath of one of the biggest financial disasters since the Depression. How would Palin have handled things… let AIG go bust? Let 1/3 of Americas wealth go down with the largest three banks? What was her alternative?

and do not forget about the absolutely mind numbing, taxes on smokes. I get so mad every time….grrr! I know not many here care but it is the most irritating thing for me right now and that has to be because it has already in effect. Just wait.

what was one of obooba’s college essays on again? OH YEAH, we don’t know, as not one single iota of info from his wondrous college days are open to the public. “torture” memos, yes……transcripts of the douchebag, not so much
Ris4victory on June 8, 2009 at 6:23 PM
Yeah … you stick with that moron who thinks there are such things as “profit and earnings ratios”.
Next, the idiot messiah will announce a new speed limit of “50 miles and hours”, being the total math illiterate that he is. But I’m sure he looks like a genius to you and your ilk – morons that you all are.

15,000 out of 20,000 apparently did because that parade only used to get 5,000 people before.
According to some reports,some people even drove 10 hours straight to see her.

That excuse doesn’t fly with a trillion dollar porkulus, trillion dollar budget deficits, nationalization of GM n Chrysler, introduction of cap n trade, national health care etc etc. Palin may’ve bailed out AIG in that moment of pressure but she’d never have overseen the rest of the menu.
promachus on June 8, 2009 at 6:37 PM
Well, I suggest you study real hard, especially about our political process. You have evidently forgotten about a small thing called the “electoral college”. Should also study up on Russia, Cuba, North Korea, etc. before making the same mistake twice.
hillbilly on June 8, 2009 at 6:56 PM
Seems about right. In 2008, Romney spoke just a few city blocks away from me. I didn’t bother to see him. But when Palin had a rally in a town 5 hours away, I gladly drove.
