So socialized medicine is good enough for the Palin clan, but if universal health care is offered to all Americans the world will clearly end!
That is right folks, little Tripp Palin (son of abstinence only graduate and single teenage mother, Bristol Palin) has federally subsidized health care. Why, you might ask? Is his family poor? No. His mother still lives with her family and the family earns well into the six digits (potentially seven now that Ex-Govvie Palin is now a talking head for Fox). They clearly are not poverty stricken.
No, little Tripp gets the insurance from the Indian Health Services and Alaska Native Medical Center.
Nice.
To be fair, Tripp is an Alaska Native. His grandfather is Alaska Native and therefore he falls within the federal guidelines that allow him to be registered as an Alaska Native and receive federally subsidized health care. At no cost. Well, to him at least. We, the tax payers, get that burden.
So if it is good enough for Tripp, why is it not good enough for all Americans? Or does Palin support discrimination? Is it really ok to say that one ethnic group in America is more worthy of health care than the rest of us? And if it is because of their uniquely poor living standards, why does Tripp qualify? And why don’t the people in the Appalachians qualify? Or why are they not simply a part of the standard state health care programs?

Maybe Mrs Palin thinks the rest of the world is just like her.
Maybe she thinks we’ll all take advantage of loopholes to get free medical coverage, draining the system, leaving her family without special status?
really, it’s not so surprising.
I mean, her daughter became a teen mother in spite of her abstinence only policy. She get’s mad at one guy for saying retarded, yet supports another using the same thing as a slur.
She’s giving “used to be almost cute women” a bad name. I’d be mad at her if I was one.

Mac, she gives all of humankind a bad name. Sometimes I really wonder if she is truly this dumb. I mean, she has to know she is being a hypocrite, right? She must know! No one is truly that dumb. Are they?
By, the by, did you hear about how she freaked out on Family Guy when they “made fun of her son” with down syndrome? Problem is, of course, the character was a girl and the actor actually has down syndrome and lashed back at Palin hardcore. It was pretty great. Nothing like getting burned when you cannot possibly attack back.

Does she have any actual supporters left? If you listen to any non-fox republicans, they HATE her. She just become a parady of herself.

The problem is: there are a lot of Fox Repubs.

Yeah. The break-room TV at my job stays on either the food channel, or Fox news. Mostly on Fox news.
They don’t even turn it off after everyone has left the building. I guess they want the spirit of Fox news to permeate the room even after they’ve all left for the day.
I mean, people in my area cried when Obama was elected. Not tears of joy, either.
They’d vote for Palin in a heartbeat. But remember, I live in the buckle of the bible belt. I don’t think it’s like that every where else. It’s easy to think the Republicans are in charge where I live.
