Senator Saxby Chambliss from Georgia had the following to say at the Augusta Museum of History for a chamber of commerce forum on health care reform:

"I don't agree with [Governor Palin] that there will be death panels created by any of the plans that are out there," said Chambliss.

There are two problems with what Chambliss did; first of all, Sarah Palin back in November saved his political as* by campaigning for him. In point of fact, Chambliss himself credited his victory to Sarah Palin. So this is how he repays the woman who saved his political as*! I should also note that Chambliss was guilty of being part of the Bush Republican congress that spent money and grew government like a drunken liberal. Ah, Caeden what are you saying? The point is that this is what you get from an inside the D.C. beltway big government Neo-Conservative. This is why folks it is of the upmost importance in the next GOP primaries in 2010 to nominate true Traditional Reagan Conservatives, and not Bush Neo-Cons who differ very little from many Democrats.

The second problem for the backstabbing Chambliss is that he is either ignorant of what Obama is proposing or what Sarah Palin actually wrote. What Sarah Palin was primarily writing about when she said “Death Panels” she was referring primarily the rationing of medical care by government bureaucrats in Washington, and those who have historically has suffered under a health care system which ration care to the elderly, the infirm, and the handicapped. Here is what Sarah Palin wrote in context:

“The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.”

   I was disgusted with a recent Townhall.com article by Charles Krauthammer and I have often been bewildered as to why they would even post his articles because he is hardly a conservative. He barely even qualifies as a left leaning “Rockefeller Republican”, and he has a long history of working for the left and against Traditional Conservatism as espoused by President Reagan. Melissa Clouthier rightly notes the following concerning Krauthammer:

"Although widely touted as a conservative, Krauthammer was a moderate Democrat who worked for the Carter Administration and as a speechwriter for Walter Mondale. Before gaining a reputation as a conservative columnist, he wrote for such hard right-wing media outlets as The New Republic, TIME magazine and the Washington Post. Some of his views on domestic issues are not those one would expect from a conservative. Krauthammer supports abortion, opposes the death penalty, rejects intelligent design, preaches evolution, favors embryonic stem cell research and advocates radically higher energy taxes as a conservation measure."

   So what did Krauthammer write that seriously pissssed me off? Well, first this leftist moron actually had the lunacy to claim that there were no “death panels” concerning Obamacare and he also decided to take a swipe at Sarah Palin who popularized the notion of Obama’s death panels and who completely put both the Obama administration and the entire Democratic Party on the defensive by writing two articles on her face book page! Nevertheless Krauthammer wrote:

"Let's see if we can have a reasoned discussion about end-of life counseling. We might start by asking Sarah Palin to leave the room. I've got nothing against her. She's a remarkable political talent. But there are no "death panels" in the Democratic health care bills, and to say that there are is to debase the debate."

   First of all, Sarah Palin was first and foremost referring to the rationing of care to those with special needs and the elderly, and for reasons of financial concerns these people will not receive care. Secondly, she also referred to end of life of counseling for the elderly with a government check for doctors who push this idea onto patients. Funny, if Krauthammer claims there were no death panels then why did the Senate act swiftly to remove this provision from their bill? Have a hard time answering that one Charlie? I thought you might.

   Lastly, what needs to be pointed out is that Krauthammer knows that he has been outclassed by Sarah Palin. Krauthammer is a “professional” Washington “journalist” and guys like him should be framing the national debate on health care. However, Krauthammer’s influence has been zilch, zero, nada. It was Sarah Palin who with two facebook articles completely rope-a-doped the entire Democratic push for nationalized healthcare. Sarah Palin caused Senate Democrats to cut and run on their version of the bill and even caused Obama himself to explain to a town hall meeting that he is not going to “kill grandma”. Now when a president has to defend himself against wanting to kill off a part of the American population, he obviously has completely lost control of the debate and is wholly on the defensive. Thank you Sarah! Hey Charlie you could learn a lot from Sarah Palin if you would just let your pride and elitist Beltway arrogance get out of the way.
