Palin "We used to hustle on over the border for health care..."

[kaiser soze]

So there you have it, Queen Conservative even admits her family once used Canadian healthcare. :rolleyes:

"My first five years of life we spent in Skagway, Alaska, right there by Whitehorse. Believe it or not -- this was in the '60s -- we used to hustle on over the border for health care that we would receive in Whitehorse. I remember my brother, he burned his ankle in some little kid accident thing and my parents had to put him on a train and rush him over to Whitehorse and I think, isn't that kind of ironic now. Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada," Palin said a speech Saturday night, according to the Calgary Herald.

Or is she just saying this to win the votes of the Canadians....who knows

Don't forget, little kid accident things happen :p

what a socialist bitch!

[Echewta]

Come on. Give her some credit. It was the 60s. Peace, love, having your parents put you on a train for health care because you didn't want to pay for it, flower power, etc.

[kaiser soze]

I don't care, it is her constituency who should care - the people knocking Canadian Healthcare at this moment on the boards

[RobMoney$]

I don't care, it is her constituency who should care - the people knocking Canadian Healthcare at this moment on the boards

Yeah, all 3 of us.


By the way, you're from Buffalo, right?

[kaiser soze]

obviously you don't care - I figured as much.

Just wanted to join in your hypocrisy finger pointing

[travesty]

Come on over and join the finger poiting. It's fun, the more fingers your point the more fun it is. I like pointing my middle finger at Canada, then slipping over the border for some poutine and hash.:D

[kaiser soze]

I heard they truck over busloads of senior citizens for their Timmy Horton Rx

You know damn well there will be people who's heads will explode over this, this is a travesty (no pun intended)

Honestly I don't care. It's win win for those of us who don't support her. She admitted that Canadian Healthcare is not a death panel and if she is lying about it then that's another sad face sticker for her.

[RobMoney$]

Honestly, Why is Sarah Palin, or what her opinions are, even being discussed?

Who cares.

[kaiser soze]

once again *poof!* as if she never existed

She is discussed because there are millions of people who believe she is relevant (as you did when you voted for her).

Oddly the people who appear to be the figureheads (or at least the most popular) of the conservative movement are the ones you'd rather ignore right now.

plus she's funny, a great example of what the right has to offer right now

did you burn your PALIN or BUST signs as well?

[ms.peachy]

Honestly, Why is Sarah Palin, or what her opinions are, even being discussed?

Who cares.

Yeah, I gotta agree with you here. She has no real traction. It's becoming more evident as time goes on.

We get The Tonight Show on CNBC over here on the weekends, late at night. Happened to see the one with her, that snowboard kid and Adam Lambert. Would so love to hear what those three chatted about backstage in the green room.

[RobMoney$]

So because her parents took her to Canada for health care when she was under 6 years old, she is a hypocrite?


Well, this settles it.
I am now ready to give half my income to the government.

[kaiser soze]

I'm pointing out the idiocy that makes her Sarah Palin - she is admitting and heralding Canadian healthcare after playing the anti-socialist card during her campaign.

I'm also a bit confused as to what she is trying to accomplish sharing her childhood hospital visits with the Canadians, but she is sharing them nonetheless - This is her modus operandi - tell a story to connect to something relevent today. Did she say it sucked? no, so most in her audience would could postulate that Palin supports Canadian Healthcare which is in stark contrast to the belief systems of those who follow her.


If you think Palin is out of the picture then your vote was irrelevant from the start - Obviously you're not a man of principle if you're going to turn your back on her now, it was the skirt and heels right?

I won't count her out and I know many from the left and right will not either. She's one of the strongest (media whore much?) the right has right now....sad to say.

You could say I'm bothering myself with her....but at least I didn't vote for her. ;)

[RobMoney$]

I didn't vote for her as much as I voted for McCain.

Doesn't matter much though, Obama hasn't done a god damn thing he campaigned to do anyway.
He couldn't even secure a stupid Olympic bid.
I cannot think of someone who had more political capital and failed to accomplish a single thing.
That's a great claim to greatest American political failure of all-time.

[kaiser soze]

I guess I hit a nerve considering your jumping on Obama like your many other threads. Hey man, I'm a bit disappointed with him as well - actually quite disappointed in him and have said he's not looking at a second term in my eyes.

topic on hand sound familiar?

If she is irrelevant then why are you bothering with this thread?

[travesty]

My parents used to take me to military hospitals and Naval doctors when I was a kid. I talk about how bad they were all the time now and I damn sure don't want our healthcare system to operate like they did. Does that make me a hypocrite/ idiot because I benefited from the system but also believe there is a better way? I don't see the correlation.

[RobMoney$]

If she is irrelevant then why are you bothering with this thread?

To expose you for the liberal puppet that you are?

[kaiser soze]

Difference is travesty - people pay to hear her which means people are willing to contribute to her message, prop her up, embolden her mission....however rogue-ish it is. I guarantee the context of her story wasn't one of regret or scorn for current policy....we know that sing-songy voice of hers and how it chimes in on all the right talking points albeit always off the mark.

Hell if she was in a room of rapists she'd probably agree with them on some level.

robmoney -yeah I'm a puppet, here stick your hand up my ass....it's probably the only hole you've been offered in some time.

[RobMoney$]

Why do you always resort to ad-hominem attacks?

[kaiser soze]

how ironic

here I thought you're statement "liberal puppet" was ad hominem

I guess I'm wrong and you're right...always

Now back to our argument over some irrelevant person you put your ballot in for.

[RobMoney$]

I don't care, it is her constituency who should care - the people knocking Canadian Healthcare at this moment on the boards


how ironic

I thought your 2nd post in the thread was "ad-hominem".

I guess I'm wrong and you're right...always

Now back to your personal vitirolic campaign against everyone who doesn't share the same political opinion as you do.

[kaiser soze]

Uh, I barely have knocked anyone for their position in healthcare - read through the threads, I don't even think I've joined in one.

Now back to your personal vitirolic campaign against everyone who doesn't share the same political opinion as you do.

Once again coming from the guy who has championed vitriol

read my sig - you are the epitome of bile

This is how you operate - you won't stop until you think you have smashed the other person into the ground or the thread is locked.

Don't like the thread? Leave.

Now back to discussing Palin and wherever she is coming from, even if it's with myself :D

[Whatitis]

Oh, the hypocrisy! Her parents took her to get healthcare in Canada! In the 60's, from Alaska. You act as if she had any say about her own healthcare as a child. I surprised someone from the Huff Post or NY Times didn't dig this story up before Palin admitted this or maybe they did and found it irrelevant because she was a child!

[Whatitis]

But the Huff is going to run with it. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/huffpost/20100308/cm_huffpost/490080) Such a class organization.

[RobMoney$]

Don't like the thread? Leave.


I probably wouldn't have bothered responding to this thread at all if you hadn't taken the pointed shot at the "people knocking Canadian Healthcare at this moment on the boards"...which is pretty much travesty, valvano, and myself.

Don't start none, won't be none. :)

[RobMoney$]

Oh, the hypocrisy! Her parents took her to get healthcare in Canada! In the 60's, from Alaska. You act as if she had any say about her own healthcare as a child.

Well, since the waiting lines were so long, she was actually there until she was 24. :rolleyes:



The Left's obsession with Palin is just astounding.
Next thing you know, HuffPo will run a story about her latest dump being more blue colored than red.
Anything at all just to stick a barb in her, as though it makes some kind of impact on the national political scene to put her down.

And I thought the Left was supposed to be the side of tolerance and compassion...


Also,...Ad-Hominem.

[travesty]

Wan't "Ad-Hominem" a Muppet's song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdUeVAkzEas&feature=related)

Ad Hominem, do, do, do, do, do, Ad Hominem, do, do , do do,

Difference is travesty - people pay to hear her which means people are willing to contribute to her message, prop her up, embolden her mission....however rogue-ish it is. I guarantee the context of her story wasn't one of regret or scorn for current policy....we know that sing-songy voice of hers and how it chimes in on all the right talking points albeit always off the mark.

I still don't see what that has to do with Canadian Healthcare or healthcare in general. Was she slamming it, or praising it? I couldn't say from your short quote of the speech. I mean I assume it was some sort of jab, but I can't tell. Sounds more anecdotal than anything. Hardly worth getting excited over.

[Echewta]

Yes, crazy how the left is obsessed with someone who was on the Presidential ticket for the Republicans as Vice President. Whats to fear? She almost became second to the throne. And she hasn't gone away. Seriously, light up lefties.

[RobMoney$]

And she hasn't gone away.


Actually, she has.
She resigned, remember?
Something about a constant barrage of baseless ethics charges that were ALL dismissed, made by a liberal blogger that made it impossible to Govern efficiently?

[Documad]

We get The Tonight Show on CNBC over here on the weekends, late at night. Happened to see the one with her, that snowboard kid and Adam Lambert. Would so love to hear what those three chatted about backstage in the green room.
Ha ha. Shaun White would have been the brains in that group.

I tried to DVR the Tonight Show just to see what Jay might do after he got the show back. I wasn't able to make it through the first episode so I missed the Sarah Palin one.

[DroppinScience]

Now that is a delusion and a half.

Palin resigned because she found the idea of governing a small state too boring a prospect when she could go south of the 49th parallel and take in all the publicity, rake in speaking fees, and generally starve for attention.

[Bob]

i think that palin's resignation speech made it pretty clear why she resigned

Oh LOOK, more baseless accusations from the left...

[kaiser soze]

of course she's base-less

I'm sure you're not the only one who jumped ship!

JUDAS!



























































































PRIEST!

[yeahwho]

i think that palin's resignation speech made it pretty clear why she resigned

as both dark and glorious days are bestowed upon this great nation of ours, sarah palin's resignation speech (http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/07/full-text-of-palins-resignation-speech.php) will always be there to inspire, comfort and instill pride for current and future generations of americans.

[checkyourprez]

Oh LOOK, more baseless accusations from the left...
