Venal politicians running a feral government.

Hmmm. Just thinking what a trip it would have been if this had instead been served up as a part of the official televised Republican rebuttal to Obama, with such passages as this:

“...a country going bankrupt to fund a bloated, distant and often corrupt federal government led by venal politicians more concerned with paying off their campaign cronies...”

Wow, the mind reels. So glad there’s at least someone out there who genuinely offers a voice to the views I hold. Not getting that much anymore from the GOP proper, to put it mildly.

Sarah must run and win.

"What is the true state of our union? Though this may sound harsh, I’ll speak the truth here," Palin wrote. "We are a country going bankrupt to fund a bloated, distant, and often corrupt federal government led by venal politicians more concerned with paying off their campaign cronies and consolidating their own power than in preserving the constitutional republic that so many have fought and died for (including our brave men and women in uniform who were barely mentioned last night)."

This perfectly sums up Washington. If she campaigns on this theme she will win votes from across the spectrum because this is the honest truth.

I smell either a.) a Republican insurgency ticket or b.) a third party in 2016.

In either case, a "Washington vs The Rest Of Us" campaign would have momentum.

Palin's right on this...

“...venal politicians bankrupting the nation...”

Exactly correct, Sarah; no wonder politicians and the mnedia all hate you - you tell the truth, which is against the religion to which all politicians and media figures adhere.

I would love to see Reid piss Palin off when it’s her time of the month. Not good for Reid.
