Revolution: The Plunging of the Markets and Changing of the Guard
Then on Meet the Press, the former head of the Republican National Committee and Clinton Press Secretary looked down their noses at Tea Party Populism.
They compared it to previous failed movements like billionaire H Ross Perot’s United We Stand America: It may have change the dialogue, but not the players.
Unlike government monopoly media, good and decent Americans of the Tea Party movement hold CEOs and politicians accountable for the plutocrat plundering of America.
Little middle Americans work to elect common sense representatives who will return to the revolutionary Constitutional principles that prospered America into the world power she once was.
They see a moral shining America on the hill, instead of the hated laughingstock and oppressor she became from bailouts of crony capitalism, war profiteering, undeclared wars and 6700 military bases or installations of Empire renditions around the world including the USA.

Every American should see the 40 minute Nashville Tea Party speech that began with I am so proud to be American and Happy Birthday Ronald Reagan, with a special welcome to those C-Span viewers who were not welcome to Healthcare meetings, and recognition of a guy with a truck and principles.
Her speech was a civil, polite, principled thumb in the eye to the elite establishment that for generations ran America and her economy into the ground at the expense of the people who elected and worked for them.
She asked, how is that change, hope (and transparency) working out forya?
She suggested when a polticial party is 0 for 3, they might stop blaming and lecturing, and start listening.
(The fact is more and more Americans trust neither political party.)

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…
