Wow. Just fucking WOW. Palin's closing Reagan quotes...
Unbelievable.

Sarah Palin finished her closing remarks by quoting Ronald Reagan:

It was Ronald Reagan who said that freedom is always just one generation away from extinction. We don’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream; we have to fight for it and protect it, and then hand it to them so that they shall do the same, or we’re going to find ourselves spending our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children about a time in America, back in the day, when men and women were free.


When did he say this? It was on a recording he made for Operation Coffeecup — a campaign organized by the American Medical Association to block the passage of Medicare. Doctors’ wives were supposed to organize coffee klatches for patients, where they would play the Reagan recording, which declared that Medicare would lead us to totalitarianism.

You couldn’t make this stuff up.

RAW

1. I actually saw a similar broadcast of Reagan deriding Medicare
on one of the stations tonight.

What a quack that guy was.

2. saw that on Keith and Rachel last night
seems the mccainiacs took did a cut/paste of smirk-boy and reagan, threw it in a bowl, mixed it up and voila - Sarah Salad

those segments need to be played over and over again - there's nothing real about Palin, she's a characature
