Will you vote for Sarah Palin in the 2012 election?
I think she’s made it pretty clear now that she will be running. She backed out of Alaska to focus primarily on her campaign, and she is going to such lengths as to tour with Democrats (she stated that it didn’t matter which party they came from, as long they supported the right things) to increase her popularity amongst America. If you’re Republican and plan on voting, would you give Sarah Palin a chance?
If she runs against obama.. you bet I will.. I will vote for anyone who runs against little Hitler… he needs to be thrown out of Washington.
I would vote for Palin.
I have no idea who I will be voting for THREE years from now…much less what I was doing 3 years ago..
No.
I’d rather skin myself and jump into a bath of lava.
After she became a deather in her statement today saying that people were planning on euthanizing senior citizens who already are on government run health care.
No one will ever take a quitter and a slanderer seriously. She is toast. Really, she is on the back burner, the write the book circus and she will never hold office again.
Guarantee it. SHE IS A DEATHER AND PROBABLY A BIRTHER.
I’m all for a woman president. As long as it’s not her.
It’s too soon for me to decide.
I think in the interests of the country, and the Daily Show, that we should do all that we can to support a Palin candidacy. Obama also needs a bit of time off.
She is a Moron read this and then Email me and tell me why I shoWASHINGTON – Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin says the health care overhaul bill would set up a "death panel." Federal bureaucrats would play God, ruling on whether ailing seniors are worth enough to society to deserve life-sustaining medical care. Palin and other critics are wrong.
Nothing in the legislation would carry out such a bleak vision. The provision that has caused the uproar would instead authorize Medicare to pay doctors for counseling patients about end-of-life care, if the patient wishes. Here are some questions and answers on the controversy:
Q: Does the health care legislation bill promote "mercy killing," or euthanasia?
A: No.
Q: Then what’s all the fuss about?
A: A provision in the House bill written by Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., would allow Medicare to pay doctors for voluntary counseling sessions that address end-of-life issues. The conversations between doctor and patient would include living wills, making a close relative or a trusted friend your health care proxy, learning about hospice as an option for the terminally ill, and information about pain medications for people suffering chronic discomfort.
The sessions would be covered every five years, more frequently if someone is gravely ill.
Q: Is anything required?
Monsignor Charles Fahey, 76, a Catholic priest who is chairman of the board of the National Council on Aging, a nonprofit service and advocacy group, says no.
"We have to make decisions that are deliberative about our health care at every moment," Fahey said. "What I have said is that if I cannot say another prayer, if I cannot give or get another hug, and if I cannot have another martini — then let me go."
Q: Does the bill advocate assisted suicide?
A: No. It would block funds for counseling that presents suicide or assisted suicide as an option.
Q: Who supports the provision?
A: The American Medical Association, the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and Consumers Union are among the groups supporting the provision. AARP, the seniors’ lobby, is taking out print advertisements this week that label as false the claim that the legislation will empower the government to take over life-and-death decisions from individuals.
Q: Should the federal government be getting involved with living wills and end-of-life questions — decisions that are highly personal and really difficult?
A: It already is.
The government requires hospitals to ask adult patients if they have a living will, or "advance directive." If the patient doesn’t have one, and wants one, the hospital has to provide assistance. The mandate on hospitals was instituted during a Republican administration, in 1992, under President George H.W. Bush.
Q: How does a living will work, and how is it different from a health care proxy?
A: A living will — also called an advance directive — spells out a patient’s wishes if he or she becomes incapacitated. Often people say they don’t want to be kept alive on breathing machines if their condition is terminal and irreversible.
A health care proxy empowers another person to make medical decisions should the patient become incapacitated.
There’s also a power-of-attorney, which authorizes another person to make financial decisions for someone who is incapacitated.
Such legal documents have become standard estate-planning tools in the last twenty years.
Q: Would the health overhaul legislation change the way people now deal with making end-of-life decisions?
A: It very well could.
Supporters of the provision say the main consequence would be to formally bring doctors into a discussion that now takes place mainly among family members and lawyers.
"When you execute a legal document with your lawyer, it ends up in your files and in the lawyer’s files," said John Rother, a senior policy and strategy adviser for AARP. "Unless the doctor is part of this discussion, it’s unlikely that your wishes will be respected. The doctor will be the one involved in any decisions."
The American Medical Association says involving doctors is simple common sense.
"There has been a lot of misinformation about the advance care planning provisions in the bill," AMA President Dr. James Rohack said in a statement. "It’s plain, old-fashioned medical care."
Q: So why are some people upset?
Some social conservatives say stronger language is needed to protect seniors from being pressured into signing away their rights to medical treatment in a moment of depression or despair.
The National Right to Life Committee opposes the provision as written.
"I’m not aware of ‘death panels’ in the bill," said David O’Steen, executive director of the group. "I’m not aware of anything that says you will be hauled before a government bureaucrat. But we are concerned … it doesn’t take a lot to push a vulnerable person — perh
right now i would not vote for her but it would depend on who she was running against. i like her a lot and maybe in 3 years she will get more experience and i would vote for her. after the way the democrats attacked her children and espically her baby was disgusting and i will never vote for a deomcrat again, they are the lowest of scum.
No, and I really doubt she will run. The fact that she resigned as Governor proves it, I think.. I really can’t see how ANYBODY but Mitt Romney will be the candidate for the Republicans..
First I am a democrat, so i would never vote for Palin!
If I were a republican, i would not vote for Palin…
She is not an intelligent person and not ready for any political position..
I hope she does run against Obama in 2012, then he will win for sure!!!!!
She is a Birther, a Death panel propagandist, and a quitter!
No political career for her, ever!
The only woman i would vote for would be in 2016, and that would be Hillary Clinton……
No
I will not
But I will enjoy voting against her once again.
Palin will not be the republican candidate in 2012.
If you want to set the country back to the 18th. century shes the one.
DEFINITELY.
