The saying goes that a man is distinguished by his enemies. The same holds true for some woman – especially where Gov. Sarah Palin is concerned. House Democrats - tone deaf to the outrage building in the country over health care, multi-trillion dollar deficits, bailouts and wasteful stimulus – have decided to assail Palin for her Washington Post Op-Ed piece attacking the global warming fraud known as “climategate.” “Ex-Governor Palin is at it again,” said Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.). “There is no there,” Rep. Blumenauer said of e-mails proving fraud by climate scientists, “And the ex-governor’s state has [endured] the greatest impact in terms of global warming of any state in the nation...”
Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), chairman of the House climate change panel, grudgingly agreed to hold hearing into the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia – responsible for manipulating climate data. Rep. Markey assures fellow Democrats that the hearings will continue to promote the fiction that the tainted climate data does not undermine the claim that the world is growing hotter due to human activity.
According to a recent Rasmussen poll, the American people are evenly split on the question of global warming, 43% believe global warming is a real danger, while 43% believe it’s a load of eyewash. Eighteen percent of Americans, those easily distracted by shiny objects, have no opinion one way or another.
More Americans are less distracted on the question of America’s direction. Rasmussen reports that a whopping 65% of Americans believe the country’s affairs have been horribly mismanaged under Democratic Party rule. Republicans agree by 92%. Among independents, that number is 80%. The mainstream media refuses the report the obvious – that the aloof Democratic Party aristocracy is heading for electoral disasters in 2010 and 2012.
The Washington Post gives Sarah Palin a soapbox to voice her views believing that, in doing so, the country will reject her analysis and, should she run for president, her. The Post and leading Democrats miscalculate, failing to see the obvious: that their ridicule and distain for Palin is identical to that displayed toward the overwhelming number of Americans in regard to ObamaCare and the president’s crushing federal debt. In doing so, they fail to grasp that they are painting Alaska’s former governor as one of us.
