After Sarah Palin posted her facebook comment asking why the president hasn't talked about tort reform in connection with health reform when it could save billions of dollars, her words sped around the world, hit the news wires and the cable shows in a few hours.
A blogger on a popular site complained that he had been talking tort reform for years, and how come Sarah Palin gets all the attention?. Another blogger had it right:
So how come when I mention Tort Reform, 5 times daily for the past 2 years, nobody on hotair says, "All Hail kirkill?" Oh, I didn't use Facebook...darn. ;-)kirkill on August 21, 2009 at 1:52 PM
Hey, don't feel bad...Rush has mentioned tort reform for a long time. So has Hannity. So has Levin and Laura Ingraham. But the libs did a stupid thing when they made Sarah the butt of their slander, criticism and jokes, because they made even libs want to know what she says. She is now the most powerful voice in the conservative movement, writing face book pages from her living room in Wasilla. When Sarah speaks/writes, people listen. And what of the greek-column, logo making, teleprompting orator of the century? She's making him all wee-weed up.

Just as she highlighted the central danger of Obama's health care push -- government control over peoples' lives -- she now puts the question squarely: Who are you for, the trial lawyers or the people?
I love this woman. Although I'm noticing a trend. The MSM laughed at her death panels comment, but then a funny thing happened. 1. I suddenly got addressed more openly and some of the articles supported her claim to a degree. 2. I put Obama on the defensive....
With her Facebook post on Brazil drilling and now this one, the MSM hasn't been as quick to bring it up... because they realize she did so much damage with "death panels". In a way this saddens me, because it's clear they're not going to give her the microphone... but it also proves she has valid points and they don't want to give her credit... in that sense. I have to laugh
Sarah Palin must be president of the United States or else this america that we love so much is doomed to exist. Any great country that is overrun by liberal elite extremism is destined to collapse. This is a real fact. Look at the once mighty Roman Empire. What caused its downfall?? Corruption in politics lead by liberal elite senators. Rome was not destroyed from the outside until it was destroyed from within.
