Alaska’s Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski has never been a fan of Sarah Palin. Already blasting Palin for “abandoning our state,” and warning her not to run for her Senate seat, Murkowski has now chastised Palin not to “gin up fear” with her “Death Panel lies.”
`
Last week, Sarah Palin posted to her Facebook page:
“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.”
`
Sen. Murkowski’s response:
“It does us no good to incite fear in people by saying that there’s these end-of-life provisions, these death panels. Quite honestly, I’m so offended at that terminology because it absolutely isn’t (in the bill). There is no reason to gin up fear in the American public by saying things that are not included in the bill.”
Hmmm_I don’t know DJ. Like so much MEALY-MOUTH blather pouring out of the mouths of most politicians these days,Sen. Murkowski's attempt at chastising Palin comes across as pretty LAME to me.It seems that modern-day American politics has devolved to a MINDLESS and GUTLESS activity for mostly wannabes, extremists, liars, thieves and arrogant CON men. Perhaps it’s always been that way??? I’m just more aware of it now that I’m “good and grown” and can really see and assess the situation for myself.Very few smart, thoughtful and courageous politicians out there_smh.
