Revolution: The Plunging of the Markets and Changing of the Guard
Mrs Palin said America does not need a talk, talk, talk law professor blaming his predecessor for failure, but a commander in chief who understands peace through strength.
She said Washington merely replaced private irresponsibility with public irresponsibility.
She noted 92% of the people who got US into this mess still have their jobs, some of them with big bonuses, while millions of Americans are out of work.
What is telling is that Sunday’s Meet The Press, where significant political economic changes are first admitted by the establishment, acknowledged as much, mentioning her as the Presidential Candidate for 2012 to take on 0, with support from Independents more powerful than either political party. Then there were the nervous gestures.
On that same Meet the Press show, Deputy National Security Adviser, former Federal Reserve Chief and former Treasury Secretary put on pitiful quavering alternating displays of arrogance, blame, bluff, bluster, blunder and incompetence.
They claimed their tremendous work saved the world, global financial system and free markets from terrorists and collapse. In fact, they did not see or stop them coming to our shores.
After shipping productive American jobs and safety offshore from red tape, they adopted Sino Soviet Central Planning Politburo strategies to further beggar middle America and our economy.
With trillions of taxpayer dollars, they bailed out elites who gambled away the rent money, laid off hardworking people and still got billions in bonuses that could employ thousands of Americans who produce rather than gamble away our future.

Same ol’ same o’, as Sarah Palin noted.
Broken trust, with more than 40 lobbyists working in the 0 administration, generational theft and loss of transparency.

I’m as much as a populist as the next guy, but Palin is not and will not be the leader of regular folks revolution….she just parrots tired old talking points. Revolutions always have some big visionary thinkers behind them, usually not the one making the speeches, and the visionaries have a charismatic, true believer that articulates that vision in a way regular folks can relate…Palin is neither…she may be a marker, and indication that conservatives are now the rebels rather than the lefties that were in the 60s/70s…but she is know revolutionary leader…and she does not associate with any big thinking visionary…

Palin is an albatross tied to a millstone around the Tea Party movement’s neck.
The sooner they figure it out and jettison her with the rest of the status quo the better.

Agree with both of you, Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln our salvation lies not in putting anyone or any party on a pedestal, but in exercising our God-given Constitutional rights of freedom, independence and prosperity.
At the same time we get nowhere fast by faulting people brave enough to question the status quo by saying no one person or party speaks for all Americans. The message of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln was American unity beyond divisive politics and name calling…

Excuse me, but a $349 price tag for a ticket is not “for the little” people and no amount of PR BS is gonna convince us otherwise. She’s another W. She has plenty of charisma and ambition, and that fools a lot of wishful, gullible people into thinking those are marks of a leader when in reality, those are qualities more suited for Hollywood.

Well, if we knock down every spokesperson, we will basically be ungovernable…
