‘Snowden is not the problem’ Palin says
The Daily Caller ^ | June 16, 2013 | Breanna Deutsch and Sarah Harvard

Posted on 06/16/2013 4:38:44 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Sarah Palin energized a group of social conservatives at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference Saturday, blasting the Obama Administration’s apparent lawlessness, calling the current state of America “Orwellian,” and urging the United States to stay out of Syria’s chaotic and brutal civil war.

In comments to the Daily Caller, the 2008 candidate for vice president also declined to join many of her fellow Republicans in condemning National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, saying the real problem was the government’s violation of Americans’ rights.

In her speech, Palin called the current political atmosphere, rife with scandals, a “a symptom of a bigger disease,” expressing outrage over the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative nonprofits.

“You don’t marginalize everyday, average Americans. Those, who are part of the Tea Party, that want to protect the constitution,” said the former Alaska Governor. “The IRS can’t figure out how it spent $4 million dollars on a training conference because it lost its receipts… really?”

The 2008 GOP Vice-Presidential nominee said President Obama has lost the trust of the American people.

“Like the other day,” she said ”[Director of National Security Intelligence James Clapper] bragging that they used the ‘least untruthful statement.’ Now, where I come from that is called a lie. Yes, the officials lied and government spied — and in Benghazi government lied and Americans died.”(continued)

Go point by point down his record. Not his promises...his record. If you can still say the above, so be it. But his record isn’t a campaign promise.

No Johnny I wouldn’t, and once again you show just how low class you are.

I want to pass a better world on to my kids and will do whatever that takes. Meanwhile you can sit back and crow about how you voted for your “priciples” and continued to lose time after time.

You want your kids to grow up in a better world where politicians ‘win’ and have no principles. Well, you gave your kids that world already so you are a success as a Father. Happy Father’s day!

I cannot imagine Romney would have been as fiscally insane.

You need a larger imagination.

Romney would have been worse. At least Republicans are somewhat (minus SC) fighting him. They would be marshalling up behind Romney.

You keep running leftist GOP-E and griping because conservatives won't let them 'win'.

I've got a longer viewpoint than you.

I'll stick with my principles. Don't kill babies or support that. Don't try to ban firearms. Don't support large government.

Your boys aren't that.

Please don’t be obtuse. Jeb was a good Gov. I have never and will never support him for President.

12 years of the Bush family in the White House is 12 too many.

Your implication that I would is pathetic.

Ignore the castle-in-the-sky crowd as they ignore we feet-on-the-ground crowd. Just... ignore them.

A Benedict Arnold type, I’d say. He did good but then went to the dark side.

Why not? He could ‘win’ faster than Romney could. Isn’t that your whole argument? Winning is all important?

If you try to get me to vote for a pro-abortion, anti-gun, big government GOP liberal.... expect you won't get my vote.

If he was a good governor, why wouldn’t you support him for president? Just because his last name is Bush?
