"Welcome to Minneapolis,'' she said.
Big applause.
She looked around the crowd. "Take that, liberals!''
Then, she quoted Sean Hannity, who was on hand, doing his television show right from the convention center.
"As Sean Hannity says, 'Let not your heart be troubled. We own this country!''
More applause.
She attacked the new nuclear arms compact (we won’t fire nukes at anybody who complies with nuclear treaties). She attacked Eric Holder, the attorney general who dared “give the underwear bomber the same rights as a U.S. citizen.’’
And she attacked “Obama care.’’
“Repeal Obama care,’’ she said to cheers. “....You better believe it baby. That’s what this girl is all about.’’
The administration has messed with the Constitution, it’s taking over private enterprise. It’s even messing with God.
“God gave us our rights!’’ she said.
“Yes!’’
“Government can’t take that away from us.’’
“Yes!’’
First to go, Pelosi and Reid.
“Yes!”
Then Obama.
“We’ll make him a one-term president.’’
“Yeah!!!”
Replaced by?
“A rock-ribbed, bold conservative president,’’ she said. “That’s what this country is all about.’’
She didn’t say who she had in mind.
And then she introduced Palin, “who is one of us. As drop-dead gorgeous as she is on the outside, she’s 20 times more beautiful on the inside.’’
Palin took over and quickly won over the crowd by praising vets and saying “that it’s good to be in the Land of Lakes, where you’re proud of your guns and religion.’’
Ecstasy in the crowd.
“I love being in Minnesota,’’ she said. “You all sound just like me.’’
She asked if there were Tea Party members in the crowd.
There was a big roar.
She praised the Tea Partiers, saying, “we’re ready to take our country back....These people are not afraid to speak out. Like Michele.’’
Draped in necklaces and wearing a stylish outfit, Palin even made a crack about teleprompters and writing notes on her hand.
In this case, she said, she’d written the number of kids (five) and foster kids (23) Bachmann and her husband have raised or cared for.
“That was palm worthy,’’ she said, holding up her hand for the crowd to see. “I had to write that on my palm, the poor man’s version of the teleprompter.’’
She “goshed” a little, praised hockey moms, ripped Washington pols (“they’re becoming addicted to opioum. That’s O-P-M, other people’s money’’). And, of course, she praised her co-star.
“My goodness gracious Minnesota, Michele has the courage to stand for you.’’
The crowd, mostly white, tending older, cheered and cheered in the heart of Minnesota liberalism.
I caught that nasty Ed Shulz trashing her and Bachmann, but he did say that 10,0000 people were ther. He had some lib “journalist” on that said the crowd were just being fooled by these two.
That's a HUGE crowd!
These two ladies are both incredibly intelligent and amazingly good looking.
The crowd is huge and enthusiastic.
These two women have more balls then the entire GOP.
What a twit Doug Grow is to write such condescending pap. Hey Doug, Springsteen can't sing for Democrats anymore - if he launches into "Born in the USA" people will want to see Obama's birth certificate again.
