Another hit piece on Palin

Politico:

'She's becoming Al Sharpton, Alaska edition'

They seem to be upset that she fights back when attacked and they confuse her counter attacks with her positions on the issues.  I get the feeling that Politico has decided that since she want talk with them they are going to attack her to get the media traffic she drives.   She is not doing the politics of grievance as alleged.  But, she does tend to fight back more than most politicians.

I like the fact that she is a fighter.  Palin does have strong policy views that Politico ignores.  She is very strong on energy and national defense.  Both of those issues will be important in the 2012 election.  She is also strong on economics and controlling spending.  None of these issues have anything to do with grievance.

Politico tries to seal its position as Anti Palin, Ink.  This article is based on a piece in New York Magazine, but it does not drip with quite the venom of Politico that seems to have a real hate for Palin.  Roger Ailes may not be entirely happy with one event with Palin, but he is more than happy with the traffic she drives to Fox News.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
