A Daily Agitation

Our fav right wing nut, Sarah Palin,  is trying to insert herself into the national dialog, she has written an editorial for the Washington Post.  She is trying to help set policy but so far she is a failure.  And why would she want to use the “elite” press to make her point unless she had broader plans for hewr future.  I guess she began with an energy statement since she was the governor of a state with lots of oil, she dealt with oil companies and all that somehow makes her an authority on energy issues.

In an op-ed piece in today’s Washington Post, she critiques the energy plan that President Obama and Democratic allies in Congress are pushing through.

After reading her op-ed one will see that she used a 1000 words to say “no”.  She is a true Repub….she is turning a complex issue like the cal and trade debate into a slogan…hers is “cap and tax”, the new name for the conservatives to use in attacking the program.

She did nothing to offer an alternative to the Obama plan, just said no.  She did use another tried and true Repub tactic ……fear.

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.

All Americans are worried about their jobs, the economy and their savings and she tries to scare the people into thinking one way without offering real alternatives or proof of what she is saying.

Read the op-ed and ask the question–what is her alternative?  Wait!  Do not hurt yourself.

Anyone can say “no” and anyone can make up a slogan and anyone can ……..but to be a statesman one needs to offer alternatives to complex issues and that my friend eliminates Palin from such a title.
