Obama Trounces Palin in Poll

That WAS fun.
But 73% of the Republicans support a woman who lied in her tweets about Obama creating death panels? Yikes.

It’s very scary, indeed, to contemplate who these 33% and 37% who think Palin is anything but a “whack job.” Geez, how severe are their Axis I and II DSM-VIr diagnoses? Clearly, there is no cure for stupid.

Anyone who believes that there was no end of life written in the hc package ,I have a bridge in brooklen I will sell you! become informed! read,read,read! why did they drop from the hc what you say didn’t exist? Read what the american collage of surgins wrote about OBAMA should stop fabricating information to the voters!

Polls only matter when they can be used against Obama. Like when the polls show that Obama’s support is decreasing!!!!!!!! (PRINT that) and yet it is still several times the support of the republicans (Don’t mention).

Amy in Maine ——– While I am not a Palin supporter, which is worse? Lieing about death panels (which there are panels in this plan, but not death), or that the AARP has endorsed this plan? I would say Obama has tried to speak for a group that openly stated they did not endorse it whereas Palin only spoke for herself. Now, some boogieman sent me an email from Axelrod supporting chain emails. Something to think about.

GO SARAH PALIN AND KEEPS AGAINST NATIONALIZED DEATH CARE REFORM UP !!!!!
The funds to reform it would cost range from US$1,500,000,000,000.00 up to US$3,000,000,000,000.00 which enable definitely for America to go to bankrupcy within five years. I only support health care reform within range of American economic can handle it.
STOP PRINTING MONEY, BORROWING MONEY FROM CHINA AND RAISING TAXES.

I would say lying about death panels is far, far worse than saying AARP has endorsed a bill when they haven’t officially. Palin spread a lie to influence a policy issue, frightening people into thinking healthcare reform would mean their babies and elderly parents would be brought before panels that would decide if they would live or die, which is a total falsehood. I think deliberatly lying to the public, spreading misinformation, is very close to treason in a democracy. It poisons the debate. Obama saying AARP had endorsed the bill was hardly a lie – they endorse healthcare reform, but they want to make sure nothing in it changes Medicare – you know, that government run agency on which seniors depend?

Obama is certainly jepordizing his reelection if his embrace of healthcare co-ops turns out to be significantly weaker than a public option. John Edwards better as time passes. His indiiscretion is certainly no worse than what Bill Clinton survived multiple times and who is still obsessed with the Dean scream?

I bet those 33% who support Palin still think that Bush was a great president. That segment of the population will always support any Repulican regardless of how radical they are.

If you are so convinced by this snapshot poll that Sarah Palin is irrelevant, then why do you constantly dwell on her and discuss her? Why not Romney, Thune, Pawlenty or Jindal? I know why and so do you. She scares the bejeebers out of the political class and their smug arrogance about the average American and what she or he can do to affect the direction of this country. She will have the last laugh, not you! Just remember, you heard it here pundits!

ifrichar, this is on FoxNews online:
Look out AARP. There’s a new senior advocacy group on the block offering a conservative alternative to seniors.
The Atlanta-based American Seniors Association (ASA), which is opposed to President Obama’s health care plan, is trying to capitalize on growing public dissatisfaction with the AARP.
About 60,000 seniors have quit AARP since July 1 due to the group’s support for health care reform, a spokesman for the organization said this week.
AARP is running ads to support a health care overhaul and hosted Obama at an online forum recently to promote his agenda to AARP members. But the group has not endorsed a specific bill and says it won’t support a plan that reduces Medicare benefits.
Spokesman Drew Nannis told The Associated Press it wasn’t unusual for the powerful, 40 million-strong senior citizens’ lobby to shed members in droves when advocating for a controversial issue.

Palin is God’s gift to Democrats.

What can i expect from ABC or from that poll from left leaning media outlet? nothing!!
You guys pretend to be neutral but people can see your true colors….”liberals in tank with the One even when O was running againts Hillary back in the primary”
With all the help from CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS,NPR etc Obama can get only 56 % of the vote?

Palin will not win, if you want to cast your hopes on palin,well go head, she will lose!

Mike In Carolina wrote “”"”desparate for substative criticism of Obama. he’s doing a great job and they know it; especially compared to the last guy. GWB makes Obama look like Einstein.”"”"”
Well Mike, it took until the middle of 2003 for GWB to fall below 50%. How’s Einstein doing?

Mike Jones —– It is amazing how they keep her “hanging” around. I thought the death panel would have been her death.

Amy in Maine wrote “”"”How soon they forget…9/11.”"”"”
Actually, I was in Iraq and all over the ME after 9/11 so I won’t forget. The fact is, GWB’s first term, while running a deficit (as most do) was quite productive and lucrative to many. His 2nd term as the Iraq war went on was his downfall. My point was to show his and Obama’s popularity is almost identical up to this point. I am still intrigued with dems and reps only pointing out the worst points and never the best. You should try it sometime.

Give it time. Back in 2006 no one knew who Barack Obama was.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people. Sarah could very well come out on top. With the right advertising agency you can convince them of anything from Rodney King deserving to be beat up to invading a country that didn’t attack us to denying Americans universal health care.

Amy, if the death panel clause didn’t exist in Obama’s health plan, how did he manage to take it out? Obama supports the Daschle plan that calls for and enforces RATIONED CARE. Obama has already said that the elderly should not be receiving expensive care for things like HIP REPLACEMENT. Not receiving care is like ushering in death, for I know if I am elderly and break my hip that I will not be allowed to get fixed by Obama’s panels (death panels) then they might as well shoot me.

So President Obama is beating private citizen Palin in a poll that was done in the first week of August and it’s now the third.
That is some hard hitting journilism.
Pathetic

AARP supports a portion of the bill that pertains to seniors. So like most bills you have to weigh the good with the bad. You can support a bill without endorsing it wholeheartedly. That’s what Obama was saying.Most of us got it. Except for those that want to tear down anything good that could come from it.The right for seniors to discuss their options and wishes with their doctor during an office visit, covered by medicare.When someone 30 years old gets cancer, it’s a given they will want treatment to fight it. When a person 85 gets cancer, your choices may differ when it comes to treatment, for the simple fact, the treatment may kill you first.

Of course liberals wouldn’t know anything about the health care bill because they don’t bother to read it they just get their marching orders from their approved scripts and staged Obama townhalls. At least, Palin thinks for herself, gives speeches without a teleprompter and isn’t out to destroy individual freedoms, cripple small business, and spend taxpayer’s money. How’s the Stimulus job and money working out? Health Care bill is not about health or care it is a massive build up of government. Try reading and thinking.

It’s going to take a woman like Sarah Palin to bring about REAL change for our nation. With this adminstation it is HOPELESS!

potatoegator..My 82 year old father went to his doc for a check-up and to get his blood pressure meds. Aside from severe arthritis and hypertension he was in very good health. During his office visit the doc asked him if he’d ever had a colonoscopy. He said no. Doc said medicare pays for it, do you want one? Well first off, he didn’t know what it was, but decided to have it anyway.I didn’t think it was a good idea or even necessary at 81, with no symptoms.During the procedure his blood pressure dropped dangerously. When he was brought back to his room he was incoherent and hallucinating. I was told that sometimes older people have increased dementia when they are in a strange place. I said he didn’t have dementia when I brought him in. He was also very dehydrated from the prep. Long story short, he got out of bed in the hospital when no one was there, fell and broke his hip. He had a partial hip replacement, spent the next two weeks talking out of his head, throwing things, stripping off his clothes and trying to get someone to wipe the water off the dripping ceiling that wasn’t really dripping.After 13 weeks in the hospital and 2 more months of therapy, he’s home. He’ll be on home health care for the rest of his life. He now has to walk with a walker and spends most of his time in bed. Now, did he really need that colonoscopy? NO I wish someone would have rationed his care.

Did you read about the teenager who needed a liver transplant and Cigna insurance company turned her down? but changed their mind later? but they delayed too long and she died not getting the transplant.
people need to remember that all these fear tactics are about what already happens with private insurance – the government could manage health care for about 2/3 or less of what private insurance is reaping.

PotatoeGater22 | Aug 18, 2009 5:03:11 PM….I think your(and others) logic is too large a leap for some!

“Hen realize that when it comes to a choice for the obamacare (death) panel of experts to either spend money to care for a retired white American…vs a 30 year old ILLEGAL ALIEN who’s NEVER paid a dime to the US Treasury, the death panel will choose to let the old American DIE every time. That is a fact. READ THE BILL. Sarah Palin has.”
This is so *not* a fact that it’s hilarious you are saying it is. Here is some actual text from the bill: “SEC. 246. NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS.
Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.”
Do you think if Sarah Palin had read the bill that she would be against advanced directives? Because last year, she was heavily in favor of advance directives.

“mallory” thinks that “Advanced Directives” are what the death panel comment was about? Open your mind, mallory, to a day in the not too distant future when the obamacare chickens have come home to roost and there’s no money. Just like every other God-forsaken do-goody ill-advised program the democrats have ever dreamt up to spend taxpayers (read: Republican’s) money (Social security? Medicare? …). And when, mallory, your mother or father is old and grey and God-forbid is stricken with cancer. Curable cancer but cancer nontheless. Well, mallory, it can be very expensive to cure cancer. So the (death) panel group of “EXPERTS” will need to convene and decide if there’s enough money to treat your old man or old lady. At some point, for some people (whites only? – read the bill – there is a Department of Minority Health in there. So obviously minorities will be getting SPECIAL TREATMENT of some sort) there will BE NO MONEY to treat them. They will be offered some painkillers (IF there’s enough money for that) or a Michael Jackson concoction and bye-bye mama and papa. Think about it. It’s that way now in Britain and even Oregon. it WILL be that way in obamacare and if you doubt me, then say hi to the tooth fairy tonite for me.

If she is not a threat, Why does the State Run media continue to focus on her?

“mallory” and as for ‘Zeke’ and euthanasia – First off, the liberal bastions of Oregon and Washington already HAVE euthanasia. We all know you liberals won’t rest til we all have it, no matter what Zeke says. But it’s now only Zekee, do u understand wha obama’s science advisor stands for (though he, like you, wants us to believe he only ‘used to’ believe what he wrote in his books.) Look it up, you can read.

The Great Republican Hope “Sarah Palin” NOT!

I don’t believe a word he says. Its too early to state polls for Obama and Palin. Besides that Obama is also slipping in the polls at this time and has made some good mistakes in the last few months. His Health Care Reform got him in deep trouble with the public and it isn’t over yet. We don’t need the government to choose insurance for us we can get on our own.

I think Palin would be a good match to campaign against Obama. Its worth the effort even if she lost. And the people that comment against her are jealous of her accomplishments because they will never accomplish anything in their lifetime and will be lucky to get a job after they gradute college. They will have to apply for welfare. Palin will run in 2012 but there may be another democrat and republican running also as an independent.

Jim Cunningham: The democrats fear Palin but will not admit it. I believe she will run in 2012 but she better get herself started early in 2010. She is a good match against Obama and I believe she has a good chance. Palin knew what Obama’s Health Care Reform plan stood for and he got caught and had to change it. The networks don’t like her because she knows what they stand for and let’s them have it. She also knows that Obama is not running this country the way it should be run. We now have a trillion dollar or more deficit that it will take Bill Clinton to balance for him.

Well Palin spoke against the death panels and the liberals droped the measure out of the bill.So there most be some true on the allegations I think. Now who are the loosers ? The crazy Palin or the lonney liberals ? LMAO

That anyone can support Palin speaks volumes for the poor job that’s done in educating Americans.

Perhaps you should read it then. It’s available on the internet.

Just because Palin says something doesn’t mean it’s true. Nothing has been changed in House bill HR 3200 at this time.

Calvin wrote: “Imagine how well a sucessful governor like Palin will do against a failing president like Obama in a couple of more years.”
Sarah Palin is not a successful governor. She quit the job.

I’m more amazed that there are 33% who would vote for the illiterate but I guess 2 years of gov of one of the smallest, most insignificant states in the country is “experience” to some….
oh no, wait……would that be the same 33% that approved of the Bush administration? It must be getting awfully hard to breath with their heads still buried in the sand…..

The POTUS seems to be doing what he does best, when there is controversy or he isn’t agreed with, then cut and run. If he believes in the public option so much, why is he backing down from it? Same ol’ Same ol’…exactly what he did when he was in the senate…don’t make a firm decisoin and don’t vote any way but “present.” He makes me sick.

Reading this article was no different then reading a piece of fiction.
Sarah Palin is a private citizen and is not running for any office. President Obama’s popularity is falling every day.
Who cares if he beats her in some sort of fictional pole?? This story is nothing then a device to prop up his ego.

The poll was taken by a democrat in an all democrat voting district..Obama’s polling numbers are lower then Bush were during his first 8 months in office and lower then most other Presidents in the last 50 years…
Romney or Ron Paul would cream Obama in a election if held today..People have woken up to realize what a phony and fraud he truly is..

Obama’s buddy Bill Clinton in 1994 sent a Presidential panel around to different areas of the country to gather information about human radiation expierments and other crimes against humanity that happened on USA soil during the cold war and what happened to adults and children were beyond horror. Clinton gathered the information and left the people that were still living high and dry. So I don’t want to hear what a moral man he is. Don’t let the gov get in control of this healthcare. You can research what I have told you.

Every-time Sara Palin opens her mouth, her poll numbers drop by about 5 percent. By my calculations, she has about 6-7 press conferences, public statements or widely publicized twitters before she drops off the radar completely… becoming a statistic, a has been, wanna be – but never gonna be. Keep talkin’ Sara, keep talkin’. —- And to those that support her… give it up folks, she is so far away from becoming president that you really need to focus elsewhere.

Sarah Palin may still be looked upon as to new a candidate for a high republican office, but her relatively new position is certainly something to build on. I remember when Jimmy Carter, from Georgia, ran for president and people were asking,”Jimmy who??” And he came virtually out of nowhere to be elected as President. I believe Palin has a much greater chance to be a serious and victorious candidate for President. It may be 2012, or 2016, but with her youth, intellect and determination, she could easily become the candidate we need as republicans in the next few years. I hope she doesn’t make a run against Obama, unless he gets canned by or before the end of his first term. If she should lose in 2012, she might not be a viable candidate in 2016. But I believe she is a rising star in the republidcan party.

Palin’s right

Cycles… Reagan won in 1980, took office in 1981, unemployment was almost 7%, 2 years later into Reagan’s administration unemployment was 10.8% and some people where calling him the anti-christ. Even a failed attempt to assasinate him (Foster’s stalker), but in 1984 jobs kicked in and Reagan was re-elected winning 49 states. Same with FDR, the previous clown messed up, it took a while for recovery to kick in, overwhelming re-election. The only ones who actually lose elections are junior senators from the new President’s party during the midterm elections.

David Chalian?
Do not think that I am stupid…
I posted to you (2) days ago with a worthwile Post about Sarah Palin…and you have so far, not posted it.
Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck (by permission) are watching your Article…Good Luck.
