Sarah Palin today released a list (on her Facebook page) of House Democrats she wants her political action committee to target for defeat, POLITICO reports. Among the 20 targets are West Virginia Reps. Alan Mollohan and Nick Rahall.
They and others on the list voted for health care reform and come fr
om districts Palin and Sen. John McCain won in 2008.
Palin writes on her Facebook wall:
“With the president signing this unwanted and ‘transformative’ government takeover of our health care system today with promises impossible to keep, let’s not get discouraged. Don’t get demoralized. Get organized!”
Read on for Palin’s entire Facebook message.
With the president signing this unwanted and “transformative” government takeover of our health care system today with promises impossible to keep, let’s not get discouraged. Don’t get demoralized. Get organized!
We’re going to reclaim the power of the people from those who disregarded the will of the people. We’re going to fire them and send them back to the private sector, which has been shrinking thanks to their destructive government-growing policies. Maybe when they join the millions of unemployed, they’ll understand why Americans wanted them to focus on job creation and an invigorated private sector. Come November, we’re going to print pink slips for members of Congress as fast as they’ve been printing money.
We’re paying particular attention to those House members who voted in favor of Obamacare and represent districts that Senator John McCain and I carried during the 2008 election. Three of these House members are retiring – from Arkansas’s 2nd district, Indiana’s 8th district, and Tennessee’s 6th district – but we’ll be working to make sure that those who replace them are Commonsense Conservatives. The others are running for re-election, and we’re going to hold them accountable for this disastrous Obamacare vote. They are: Ann Kirkpatrick (AZ-1), Harry E. Mitchell (AZ-5), Gabrielle Giffords (AZ-8), John Salazar (CO-3), Betsy Markey (CO-4). Allen Boyd (FL-2), Suzanne M. Kosmas (FL-24), Baron P. Hill (IN-9), Earl Pomeroy (ND-AL), Charlie Wilson (OH-6), John Boccieri (OH-16), Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-3), Christopher Carney (PA-10), John M. Spratt, Jr. (SC-5), Tom Perriello (VA-5), Alan B. Mollohan (WV-1), and Nick J. Rahall II (WV-3).
We’ll aim for these races and many others. This is just the first salvo in a fight to elect people across the nation who will bring common sense to Washington. Please go to sarahpac.com and join me in the fight.
Stand tall, America. Real change is coming!

Ugh. What. A. Moron.
Ugh… some send this loon back to Alaska… have we not had enough of her yet? A dog barking in the middle of the night makes more sense than this excuse for a talking head. Amazing this is the leadership of the republic party! Bring it!
Palin targets? Is she now a WV voter? Last I heard she was quitting her day job as gov of Alaska cause she ‘was just too busy’.
Busy like like running for the border to get some of that free Canadian health care. Busy grabbing the cash on a book tour.
A pathetic flake, low on facts and high on greed.
i hope by the time 2014 rolls around people will be so sick of her they will see what she really is. an opportunist who winks well
Who is she to tell us who to vote for in our local elections. Oh I forgot she knows everything.
She sspeaks for those of us who want the end of dirty, corrupt Wasington. Whether or not you like her, ou government needs voted out because they are no longer representing their constituency. Mollohan got rich in Wasington taking money from”special interests”. WV has not benefitted by having him in congress. He turned his back on us.
In that graphic floating around it had Rahall listed as WV-2 and the cross hairs on the middle portion of the state. I see the WV-2 has since been fixed, but the cross hairs remain.
this from a woman who used to sneak across the border to Canada to get her family free health care
She is right! We need to get rid of these mis-representatives! They did NOT represent the majority of their constituency and need to GO!
Great.. All we need is more backwoods ignoramuses injecting themselves into our politics. Can’t she take that Journalism degree (took 6 colleges to earn), and find herself a nice paying job, maybe on some extremist network, and leave the rest of us the hell alone.
Too bad Mollohan won’t make it out of the primary this year. In any case, I hope the Repubs nominate her in 2012…Obama will once again win by a huge margin.
All of this from a politician who walked out of office – and walked out on her own state for no real reason. All of this from a politician who couldn’t nail down what the Vice President does, a job she was ‘applying for’ none-the-less. All of this from a politician who couldn’t tell America what her party’s platform was – DURING AN INTERVIEW. All of this from a politician who blamed the head of the campaign, John McCain, for not having things in order and losing the election. Did she ever consider that it was her lack of credibility that lost the election for the Republicans. I hope America doesn’t forget what a TOTAL MORON Sarah Palin was, is, and ever shall be – world without end. My Mother told me not to hate anyone, but it’s getting awfully hard these days. Let’s hope for a brighter future.
For those of you reading this – surely you can see that residents may come out to see her if she in fact comes to WV — she is nationally known and out of interest there may be a big turn out — Heck, I might go to see if she is as stupid as she looks and sounds on TV. My response is – the republican party is running pretty scared! And they should be — Obama ran on a platform that he is keeping – health care reform — and it may not be perfect but it sure is a start. We need to stop watching any news or stories carried about her so she will not be a focus any longer — I think she is a horrible representative of women in politics — And lastly, coming to WV and thinking she can get us fired up — her statements have already done that —- I believe she will understand the journalism on signs that says “Palin Go – Palin No” President is only trying to straighten out the cards he was dealt when he took office… Go on the website and read the heath care reform bill – do you know that there are attachments — home visiting for one — everyone needs to go to Thomas.gov website and be informed on what is going on —-
So funny how she wants to downsize and kick out government because it is not good, but she IS the government. How long has she been on the public payroll. This is the total hypocrisy of the Republican party. If she believes in smaller government then she needs to go work in the private sector.
She is a nut. But there are enough unaware people who have nothing else to do but follow her dim light. She is a scary nut.
I agree the Democrats Mollehan and Hahall need to go, Sarah Palin Drained the Political Swamp in Alaska, she can direct West Virginians to do the same.
These two elected Congressmen voted for the Health Care Take over, and now we find out that in their Bill “HR 4872′ there is a provision that Tax Payers dollarswill pay for sex enhancing drugs to Convicted Sex Offenders. If this Reconsilliation Bill Passes without amendments this will be Law. Who will protect our women and children from these perverts when the Gov. is paying for innocent women and children to be raped.
Just because your mom, dad or friend is a Democrat dosen’t mean you have to stick to any party, you know what is best for your family and State use your Voting Right wisely. Mollehan,Hahell, Manchin,Rockerfeller, and Byrd all are in favor of CAP and TAX, and the EPA holding mining permits hostage, they are the reason our coal mines are shutting down. When you go to the Polls this year to vote, before you cast your vote do your homework, research their lives and political views if they do not have your values then don’t vote for them. Lets clean our SWAMP!
She is exactly what is wrong about this country. 45% of the people in the country are now on government healthcare. Medicare, medicaid, veterens, state employees. I bet she was covered by a single payer government plan when she was governor of Alaska.
Sarah Dean, your horrible spelling, grammar, and clear lack of understanding of the health care bills sickens me. In addition, you think WV should allow king coal to reign. Stop and think – with all of the coal that has been taken out of the mountains of WV, wouldn’t you think we would be a very wealthy state? Wouldn’t you? Well, that’s hardly the case. You think the EPA is holding mining permits hostage? Tel me be the first to inform you that the EPA was in the pocket of the coal industry for so long, that now – FINALLY – under the Obama administration they are taking the industry to task for being ‘above the law’ for so long. Sarah, if you want someone to check out someone’s personal history, life, and if you really want to do your homework read a little about Massey CEO Don Blankenship. Read about his MILLIONS of dollars and the amount that he takes ‘home’ each year. Read how much he makes here http://www.topix.com/forum/city/williamson-wv/TSEQECC4T8OPSQPA9 – and THEN you tell me that the EPA is the reason coal miners are losing their jobs!!!! You have no idea about what is actually going on in the world around you! You listen to the talk boxes of the right – and you believe that what they say is so true it could be read from the pulpit on Sunday morning. It’s not true – they are telling you what they want you to hear. WAKE UP!!!! If you don’t wake up you’ll be as ignorant as they are!!!!!!
I have done a lot of listening for the past two years and to be frank about the political field we have indured, five politicians come to mind, SARAH PALIN, Mitch Mcconnel, J. Bouner, the idiot from Texas who likes to yell in the house of representatives, You lnow the baby killer shouter, then you have the Florida Mouth of the south, all five read from the same tired old book of lies deception and denial. I won’t go into the background of Palin but it is quite a story from which you could make a b movie. She didn’t walk away from her office, she ran because her own state was after her for all the under the table deals and plain thivery from the coffers of Alaska, Illegal state plane use among a few, but usuing her kids for political gain was the overriding fact about her I couldn”t stomach even if i were a republican.
It is so comical and amuzing to read the postings from the still wet behind the ears younger generation that are so opposed to Sarah Palin. They seem to think they have the knowledge, experience and expertise of how to run a country while the majority of them are still learning what politics are all about and have no experience at all with regard to politics. Nothing can replace years of EXPERIENCE.
Vernon, are you an idiot, or just telepathetic? How do you know our age? You really amuze me.

Mollahan and Rahall both need to be voted out!
This is one woman that I could live with OUT. She needs to go back to Alaska to her unwed daughter and grandchild. So much for parents teaching sex education. Then with all the money she has taken from tax dollars I think she should pay for the heatlh care her grandchild receives free. She does not support health care for people that really needed, but accepts free care from the Alaska goverment for her grandchild.
I support the health care reform….it is far from what I had wished for, but maybe the people that really need health care can get some assistance. I had to sell my house due to COBRA of $750.00 month and over Seven thousand dollars in medical care last year. Health care Reform is needed Thank you Congressman Mollohan and Rahall! You have my vote.
Stay out of WV Palin !!
She has the IQ of GW or less. I bet she can’t even see WV from her back yard. Bring it on Sarah. Don’t under estimate the people of WV. You’re still a pig with lipstick, sorry pigs.
Sarah Palin hasn’t gotten any smarter since she walked away from her job as gov or Alaska to try to save her sorry butt, and now she wants to tell West Virginians who to vote for? I don’t think so! We can make our own decisions about Mollohan & Rahall & the way I see it, they might not be perfect but I have been happy with what they have done for our state so they will get my vote again. Sarah Palin is just plain ridiculous, in my humble opinion, with her winking, her trying- to- be- cute little remarks. Oh yes, I will listen to her & I can just see her running our country in a couple years, can’t you??? Talk about scary!!!
Vernon…
I would rather be “wet behind the ears”, as opposed to being “Anal Retentive”. You say, “Nothing can replace years of EXPERIENCE”….which Palin doesn’t exactly rack up.
She DOES have the distinction of never being FIRED from a job…. as she ALWAYS Quits!! “Winkie Palin” wanted to be the VP… yet couldn’t take the ‘pressure’ of being a Governor!! She quotes the Bible out of the Right side of her mouth—while she repeats PROVEN LIES, and bigoted comments out of the left (“bearing FALSE Witness”, eh??). While espousing “her christian values”… she associates with her “Witch Hunter Rev Muthee” … Is a Graduate of, and supporter of the Cult Group, The Masters Commission. (Google Palin+Muthee… or Palin+Masters Commission)
Palin has now put “targets” on the Reps… calling on people to “Reload”. Palin is a dangerous, self-serving IDIOT. Palin (known fact..I was one of them!!) has cause More people to switch from the Republican Party to Independent. Any Politician that would align his/her self with “The Dingbat Palin” automatically is placed in my “Do Not Trust” list. I despise ANYONE that LIES & HIDES behind their Bible !!! Educate yourself to Palin’s connections. Do it with the lights on…. it’s pretty scary !!
I say we vote out Shelley Moore Capito. She certainly doesn’t represent me as a constituent who is unfortunate enough to reside in her district. Wonder how many in Shelley’s district are ALREADY on Medicaid or Medicare? I didn’t vote for her in the last election and I certainly won’t vote for her in the next. Republicans aren’t for health care reform. The only thing they’re “for” is being “against” the Democrats. They’re out of power and I hope to God they stay that way. Personally I like having people in power who are capable of critical thinking. The Republicans want to appeal to the lowest common denominator of their base, which is why they allow Sarah Palin to continue to speak for them. John McCain created a Frankenstein monster when he plucked her out of Alaska and gave her a makeover to try to cynically appeal to Hillary Clinton supporters (as if). In a way, I hope Sarah Palin does run for President, and that the right wing is dumb enough to nominate her. Because there is no way anyone capable of, you know, thought, is going to vote for her. Go back to Alaska, or at least Fox News, Governor Barbie. West Virginians may not be able to think for themselves, but they certainly don’t need you thinking for them!
I have never SEEN such EVIL campaigning in my life. Republicans cannot realize that THEY caused the situation that AMERICA and the WORLD is in. A bunch of whine babies and losers.
Palin-you wishy washy ignorant igloo misfit–go away and stay out of WV. You called us dumb hillbillies. We are the ONLY state that is progressing …. due to our Democratic society and well balanced people who know how to live the “good” life. All of America has had enough of politics and news that condemns everyone. President Obama won by a landslide, Get Real. Let him do his job…at least he is FOR AMERICA. By the way..Palin, you need an estrogen patch the size of a diaper…Washington doesn’t need a fickle pickle to run America.
Sarah Palin leading any Political Action Committe is like “You’re doing a heck of a job Brownie” running FEMA.
This woman is not qualified to run her own household let alone MY Country. Any one who believes she is qualified is just as backwards and PREJUDICE as she is. For 43 Presidents I have had to say that is the President of the United States why is that not the same as our 44th President who loves all AMERICANS. God Bless My President
Is it true the federal investigation of Mollohan was dropped by the Obama administration for his vote on the healthcare bill ?
I think some one should “open season” on her and put us all out of our misery….like she did to and continues to do to the wolf population in Alaska and now in parts of this country. She can’t control her family or run her own household. How could she possibly think she’s good enough to run this country? She’s no more than low life scum!!
I stand by anything I say about this thing called Sarah Palin. She’s a low life witch who targeted wolves in Alaska and when asked why replied:
We have to eat too and we eat what we hunt. What a crock of crap this one delivers. She is not worthy of being more than a scuff mark on the concrete of life.
For “Watcher”….
No… it isn’t true. The investigation was dropped back on 1/26/10. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/26/AR2010012601156.html
Probably what you are referring to is the “Faux News” … and “Napolitano baselessly links Mollohan vote to DOJ dropping
probe”. http://patrickhenrypress.info/node/169652
Vernon: I’m not a wet behind the ears youngster. I’m 70+ and not senile by any means. Sarah Palin is a disgrace to women every where and to her party. She left Alaska to make money, most of which she won’t pay taxes on because it will be called a stipend or reimbursement for expenses, whatever it takes to make it fax free. As for her take on health care, she flat out lied about old people being targeted for early demise and everything else she said about health care. Those of us on SS welcome an end to the donut hole. For those who haven’t reached medicare status, they won’t have to worry about being dropped after they max out their benefits becuase of a serious illness and my grandchildren can attend college and still have health care through their partents. Those of you who side with Sarah Palin are really against Obama because he’s black and for no other reason.

Well carole must be backing Rahall on that basis because she could not vote for corrupt Spike Maynard!
But then, if she believes the republicans and Palin as spokesperson, is fightning corruption, then she is very confused and can’t know the difference!
Palin has more intelligence in her big toe than Mollohan and Rahall have collectively. If you peple believe these two idiots are so great, why is it that W.Va is in the economic gutter year after year? Here’s why……..illiterate, backwoods, toothless, uninformed rednecks that vote a straight dumocratic ticket year after year. The same one’s that are dependent on a “Guv’mt check” to sustain their miserable existence.
Don’t re-elect ANYBODY!!!!!!!
Sarah continue to do what you are doing you have the idiots babbling to them selves.
The record shows that you idiots have failed,now step aside and we will correct your mistakes. Your record speaks for its self and you are ashamed so you cast doubt about others.
