Sarah Palin blasted Obama, his fellow radicals in Washington DC and crazed democrat Alan Grayson in her talk tonight in Florida.
The Orlando Sentinel reported:
Sarah Palin lashed out at Washington, the media and condescending liberals Friday night at an Orlando Republican fund-raising event, and predicted the GOP would restore “common sense” to government in the upcoming November elections.
Palin said those notes she wrote on her hand at a National Tea Party event — where the media and White House later “busted me for using a poor-man’s teleprompter” — explained just what the country needed: a strong energy policy, tax cuts; and “lifting America’s spirits.”
“Americans get it,” Palin said. “In Washington, they don’t get it.”
The wildly popular, but equally polarizing former vice presidential candidate packed the Orange County Republican Party’s annual Lincoln Day fundraiser, attracting 1,300 fans to the Shingle Creek Resort. Orange GOP Chairman Lew Oliver said he expected the event to net the party more than $110,000.
Orlando was the latest stop in Palin’s high-mileage speaking tour. She spoke in Daytona Beach last month, headlined an Ohio Right to Life Society fundraiser last Friday, and landed in Calgary, Canada, the next day. Later this month, Palin will help raise re-election funds for U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the man who plucked her from relative obscurity to be his running mate in the 2008 presidential race.
On Friday, Palin advocated drilling for oil and natural gas to gain energy independence but said nothing specifically about such exploration off Florida’s coast, a source of heated political dispute.
While advocating for standard GOP issues — lower taxes, less spending, more freedom and smaller government — Palin also singled out one Central Florida Democratic politician: U.S Rep. Alan Grayson of Orlando. Palin said voters need to remove the fiery millionaire lawyer in November.
“Do it for the rest of America,” she said in a speech lasting about 40 minutes.
Amen. Get rid of that awful kook, Florida.
Governor Palin 4 President has more on tonight’s speech.

So, Pelosi is saying the House will pass the Senate healthcare bill. What are the chances that the Senate could rescind that bill beforehand?

I don’t know what Mrs. Palin’s serious plans are for 2012, but I hope she doesn’t throw her hat in the ring for president.
Instead, I think she could do far more for conservatives and the GOP by being RNC Chair.
Palin for RNC Chair!
Reform the RNC from the inside, top down with strong, consistent conservative values and platforms.
Burst the liberal bubble and expectations that they have concerning Mrs. Palin. Throw another wrench in their plans and efforts to besmirch her and the conservative movement.

“Poor man’s teleprompter”
I’m convinced that the reason they attacked her for that is the “poor” part. The “elite” left doesn’t like the poor people. They don’t care about them. They cater to them during elections and then tax them to death, thus creating more poor, who then will be catered to during the next elections.
I had a look the other day, to see at what yearly salary my government starts taking 50% of it. In Austria they start at making 60k Euros per year. So if you make more than not even 83,000 USD per year in Austria, the government takes 50% of it.
Of course, it’s not nearly enough to finance our welfare state, as our evergrowing debt and deficit proves.
But 83k per year? That’s not “rich”. Okay, when I was IT chief I made more than that per year, but still. 83k per year? That’s not that much. Obama’s 250k (or 125k respectively) are just the beginning.
There will be a lot more poor people once that idiot is done with the US. And that’s the plan. Make the rich poor, keep the poor poor.

Andreas K. commented:
Addition, those 60k are based on our system, where we get paid not 12 times per year, but rather 14 times per year. So if we count those additional salaries out of the picture, the Austrian government starts taking 50% of one’s salary at ~51k Euros, at 70,000 USD per year.
And as I said, it’s not nearly enough, even with our VAT that is 20%. It’s not enough to finance this welfare state.
America, you have stormy seas ahead!
Tawny Jones commented:
Once again, Sarah was fiery, fearless, funny, chic, charming, charismatic, bold, brilliant, beautiful. They love her in Central Florida.
Redwine commented:
Replace that RINO Michael Steele with Palin to chair the RNC!!!! That would be a fantastic move.
Remove all RINOs.
DeMint, Ryan or Pence for POTUS 2012!

Jackie commented:
I’m a Sarah fan — but really sorry she feels compelled to support McCain. He’s not worthy of her loyalty. He allowed his campaign henchmen to treat her poorly – during and after the campaign. I’ll stick with J.D. for AZ.
DanO commented:
I marvel at the effect a few slanted polls have on blogsphere conservatives (if they are not outright “Concern Trolls”) who continue to “wish she does not run”.
Why?
Why pass by the only 2012 contender with EXECUTIVE BRANCH EXPERIENCE that blends fiscal conservatism ( she consistently and dramatically reduced state budgets, year-over-year: http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2009/06/governor-palins-budgets-pointing-out.html ) with absolute adherence to her state’s constitution?
If you Eoyores examine the whole post at C4P, you will find links to the hard numbers of her budgets vs. the last budget of Republican Frank Murkowski. While DeMint, Ryan, and Pence all make sense from behind a podium in a legislative setting, (and Palin has repeatedly lauded all these men) the fact remains that she. is. the. only. one. who. has. done. it.
Militant Conservative commented:
Palin is just paying her political debt to McCrazy.
WE are the power and she knows it. Palin’s support of McCrazy may not be enough to save him. Reguarding her abilities and core beliefs….
The LSM is scared to death of her and HATE her. That means she is on target and has the support if not LOVE of the vast American citezenry. She is most definately a political force to deal with.

We think an awful lot alike, my friend!
And just think of the wicked backlash SP would receive if she refused McCain’s request for political help!
It wasn’t McCain who attacked her, it was McCain’s staff.
Opus #6 commented:
Sarah is a blessing for us Americans.
M Malone commented:
What do you think that misogynist loser Grayson will have to say about this turn of events?
Logus commented:
DanO, the reason I hope Palin doesn’t run for president has nothing to do with her values and ideology. I think she’d be a great administrator and executive. A fine president of the USA in that capacity.
My concern has to do with the fact that she is just as – if not moreso – polarizing than Barack Obama. The media would never let up. And, let us not forget why she resigned as governor. What’s to stop liberals from trying it again when she’s president?
The next president is not going to be another “change” president. The next president will be older and a man. After four years of Obama and all that has transpired, the majority of the nation will vote a little more traditionally.
And, throwing her hat in the ring, do you think the RNC would support her? No, they’ll throw their weight behind Romney, Huckabee or someone else who’s more “mainstream” and more willing to tow the Republican line.
Therefore, the smarter move is to change the RNC from within, and to do that, you start with the chairperson.
BackwardsBoy commented:
SarahCuda is the breath of political fresh air we’ve been needing. She has more in common with the average American than any politician in recent memory, which may account for the lefts’ derangement whenever her name is mentioned.
As for bashing the Idiot Grayson, she just can’t do that enough. Everyone down here is embarassed that he managed to get elected and even more embarrassed whenever he opens his piehole.
And yeah, she’d make a great GOP Chair.

Is there any way to find the names of the people associated with the production and distribution of this brochure?

Every person involved in the production and distribution of this obscenity must be exposed, so that their murderous activities can be stopped.
The only real means we have right now of dealing with this epidemic is to PREVENT TRANSMISSION. And, the transmission of HIV infection is highly preventable, but not if we encourage predatory behavior.
This must stop now, and the fastest way to do it is to expose the perpetrators’ names.
Charlie Gibson commented:
We need to let the media decide who the next conservative candidate should be because that worked so well last election. Some idiots never learn, but they are all too willing to share their stupidity.
lyle commented:
Don’t fall for the ‘polarizing’ label. It’s what liberals and the media use against effecrtive conservatives. The more effective the conservative leader, the more ‘polarizing’.
Of course they hate her. Of course they spread false rumors. Of course they say she’s stupid. Ignore them. The stupidest thing we could do would be to let them choose our nominee again.
Charlie Gibson commented:
Damn skippy, Lyle! If people are too weak stand up for a real conservative—hit the road. Why vote for a dem-lite, when you can vote for the real thing?
It doesn’t matter who is nominated by Republicans, the MSM will give them the same treatment they gave Gov. Palin. The learning curve for some is too steep.
jainphx commented:
Palin polarizing? When those who claim to be on our side fall for leftist and Republican elitist spin, we fall into their trap. Palin is a breath of fresh air in the world of politics and it scares those “phonies” to death. We see the lefts true colors with HCR and their complete socialist agenda, but the Republican elites are still trying to call the shots on our side, they need to be removed along with the Demoncraps, and the sooner the better.
Her Campaigning for McCain is proof of her loyalty, but I will vote for J.D. I know that she will be in J.D.s camp after the primary. Get them all out if we want to survive as a free people!
BarbaraS commented:
It’s not going to matter who the next republican president is. He/she will be trashed probably worse than GWB was. They have had a lot of practice now and will go all out. What are we supposed to do? Let the dems win to keep the peace? No, no and h*ll no.
Sarah is writing another book. I read it is about values. The more she goes public, the more the public sees the lies the media have told about her. The majority don’t believe the media any more anyway.
jainphx commented:
Sarah means peace of mind from the every day turn towards socialism. Just how much more of this complete attempt to take this country apart from within are we willing to accept. I for one am sick of it and will not sit and watch any longer. To me that is what Sarah represents, and I say Run Sarah run for the sake of the country.
avery commented:
Huckabee,you don”t want.He for cap and tax,Amenity for illegal.
hrh commented:
To those who say she shouldn’t run for President but should be RNC Chair:
Don’t you think the country needs cleaning up a bit more than the Repubs?
Parties are a means to an end of governing the country. Palin would be wasted cleaning up the RNC. She’s got the fire, the convictions, and the bravery to clean up the country.
And by cleaning up the country as a Republican, ipso facto, she would go a long way toward cleaning up the RNC, capiche?
And to those who say she’s too polarizing to run: Quit letting the out of control media make your decisions for you. She’s decidedly less polarizing than Professor Lecture, but the media will NEVER use that word for him.
For the past SIX MONTHS, his #s have been straight down the middle in Gallup and Rasmussen. The RCP aggregate poll has had him in the mid 40s with a .6 to 3 or 4 point spread for months.
That’s polarizing.
Get your facts yourself and don’t let the media interpret them for you.
jainphx commented:
Smack dab on the nails head! hrh has it exactly right.

I bet you the first thing that Governor Palin as president will do is sign into law…….
“Drill baby drill”

And…..btw
Oil companys will be paying for the thousands of high paying jobs and not us tax payers.
Ginger commented:
Who was it that said we were to dependent upon the Middle East for our oil? Let’s put the hurt to the muslim world and let them peddle their oil some where else.
