Just for the record, it now appears that Palin was for "death panels" before she was against them, given the proclamation she signed last year:
Quote:
WHEREAS, Healthcare Decisions Day is designed to raise public awareness of the need to plan ahead for healthcare decisions, related to end of life care and medical decision-making whenever patients are unable to speak for themselves and to encourage the specific use of advance directives to communicate these important healthcare decisions.....
WHEREAS, one of the principal goals of Healthcare Decisions Day is to encourage hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, continuing care retirement communities, and hospices to participate in a statewide effort to provide clear and consistent information to the public about advance directives, as well as to encourage medical professionals and lawyers to volunteer their time and efforts to improve public knowledge and increase the number of Alaska’s citizens with advance directives.
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin

Yep...just what the House bill proposes.
Yet,....being the hypocritical hack that she is, and in the self-proclaimed new role as the voice for the "common, hard working, patriotic American", for some reason she feels to the need to keep stoking the fires and demonstrating her ignorance.
