Sarah Palin is a TOTAL hypocrite!

Palin Admits To Traveling To Canada For Health Care

In November of 2009, Sarah Palin Â who is always suggesting that health care reform will lead to socialism Â insisted that Canada needs to reform its health care system to "let the private sector take over." But this past Saturday in Calgary, Canada Â at "her first Canadian appearance since stepping down as governor of Alaska last summer" Â Palin seemed to deviate from her fear of socialized Canadian medicine when she revealed that her family may have benefited from the Canadian system:

PALIN: We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada. And I think now, isn't that ironic?

This isn't the first time Palin highlighted the difficulty of obtaining affordable health care in America. During the presidential campaign, Palin discussed how her and husband Todd had "gone though periods of our life here with paying out-of-pocket for health coverage until Todd and I both landed a couple of good union jobs." At the Vice Presidential debate, Palin recalled times in her marriage "in our past where we didn't have health insurance and we know what other Americans are going through as they sit around the kitchen table and try to figure out how are they going to pay out-of-pocket for health care?"

I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

Since the nearest decent doc in Canada is in whitehorse yt approximately 1300 RT miles by road from her house and gas being about $4.50 a gallon I would suggest she is being disingenuous at the very least If we torture the data long enough, it will confess.

Post #322,584 by jake123 3/9/10 12:27:31 PM Reply	According to her wikipedia page, she was born in 64 six makes it 1970. She sure isn't in her fifties.

However, she has still witnessed, first hand, the superiority of a socialist health care model, making her an unthinking moron. -------------------------------------------- Matthew Greet I'm not prejudiced.
