governor palin: drop and give me 20! and don’t go crying to obamacare…

Governor Palin has been busy!

This afternoon, she launched - yes, launched - her latest rhetorical dissection of all that is wrong with Obamacare and the “yay-hoos” who foisted it on us.  The entire post is worthy of lamination, but below is a choice section tdc found particularly spectacular.

In her discussion of the multi-trillion dollar costs of Obamacare, Governor Sarah Palin writes:

This is probably what President Obama was referring to when he admitted recently that he had known all along that “at the margins” his proposals were going to drive up costs. Give us a break! Only in this administration would they refer to a $3 trillion spending increase as “marginal.” Next time he comes to us with another one of his harebrained proposals for a budget-busting federal power grab, let’s make sure we remember the president’s admission that he was lying all along when he told us his health care plan was going to cut costs. He is increasing costs. He admits it now. Period.

Higher costs and worse care – is it any wonder why people are overwhelmingly in favor of repealing and replacing Obamacare? Politicians who have vacillated on this issue need to be fired. Candidates who don’t support “repeal and replace” don’t deserve your support. No amount of money spent on Washington’s “government-wide apolitical public information campaign” (otherwise known as “propaganda”) will convince Americans that this awful legislation is anything other than a debt-driven big government train wreck. We need to repeal and replace it, and that can only happen if we elect a new Congress that will make scrapping Obamacare one of its top priorities. We can replace it with pro-private sector, patient-oriented reform that the GOP has proposed.

Once again, Governor Palin lays out a concise, informative, hard-hitting argument for fighting back against unfunded government mandates and arrogant politicians. 

In March of this year, Governor Palin set her sights on gaining twenty key seats in congress.  Now, a few short weeks before the election, she and her team have taken their effort to the next step with a new website, Take Back the 20.

From a design perspective (of course, we have to go there…) the site is nicely done.  One page, clearly-organized, informative, and makes an immediate call to action - the Palin team has done their due diligence.  Now, though, it’s time for us to do our due diligence.

Visit Take Back the 20.  See which candidates you can help - with time or resources - then step up and do so.  The race for 2012 starts now.  Whether the GOP nominee is Sarah Palin or someone else, November 2010 will decide the extent of the mess he or she has to clean up.

To carry the metaphor a bit too far:  grab your broom and help sweep some tired ol’ legislators out of office and into the dustbin of politics-as-usual.
