To that end, we should identify some of the ideas espoused by the resigned governor to see if the criticism stands. I will start by pointing out the hypocrisy of the claims about death panels. There was no evidence to support a claim of death panels, but as Rob pointed out in another thread the "free" market insurance companies make nickel and dime decisions about what treatment is appropriate.

I will also take issue with her all taxes are bad approach. The amount of debt we have accumulated from an unjustified, even illegal, war has strangled the government, but her pandering to the tea party mind-set seeks to eliminate government by starving it.

She could afford a no taxes approach what with oil royalties and the fact that AK gets more money from the feds than they put in.
