Sarah Palin.. Medicare is evil.

[Joanne98]

By Miryam Ehrlich Williamson

I’ll start my comments on last night’s VP debate with a note from The New Republic’s Jonathan Chait about how Sarah Palin tried to close the sale. It’s emblematic of the entire Palin performance.


Palin’s final quote was from Ronald Reagan, warning that without vigilance, “you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children, and our children’s children, what it once was like in America when men were free.”

In fact, Reagan was not warning about a general lack of vigilance about freedom, he was warning what would happen if Medicare was enacted.

For all its faults, there’s hardly a government program more popular than Medicare. More quickies to come — when I get done laughing.
