Sarah just said it
Fox News ^

Posted on 09/09/2008 7:36:22 AM PDT by B Knotts

Sarah Palin, speaking in Ohio, said (I'm typing from memory), "Government isn't always the answer...in fact, sometimes, government is the problem!"

Wow. Straight from the Gipper!

“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem.”

Ronald Reagan

Sarah is saying that there are limits to what government can and should do, in dealing with the various problems people face.

Limited government, what a novel idea, if only the founding fathers had thought of it..............

If this keeps up, we might have an intelligent political discussion in this campaign.

Biden spoke Monday near Green Bay and railed about jobs being lost at the local paper mill.
Who wants to bet me that the paper mill got tired of trying to meet all the EPA demands and still stay profitable?

Anyone got more details on this plant downsizing or shutting down?

Let me anticipate the Democrats’ response: “Silly little moose hunter, quoting Reagan.”

Strange to think Ronald Reagan is back as a babe.

If only Republicans since 2000 had thought of it.

Government is always the problem.

Besides the Defense Department, FBI, CIA, can anyone name one Federal government department or agency that deserves to exist?

About time someone tries to fill the shoes of the Big Gipper. America needs someone like him now.

I've been repeatedly told here on FR that not only was W filling in the Gipper's shoes, but that he was better.

Cobble that with BO saying that tax hikes not a good idea for a recession, and now he’s slit the throat of his plans. He essentially admitted that the reverse is true — tax cuts are good for growth.

The only thing that's more strange is my writing a $100 check to McCain/Palin today.

“Straight from the Gipper!”

That will get votes, or at least it’s designed to.

You know, Sarah Palin sounds like she understands something of the philosophy of the First President of the United States, George Washington, who observed:

"Government is not reason. It is not eloquence. It is a force, like fire: a dangerous servant and a terrible master."

It sure looks as though Ron has been whispering in Sarah's ear. Ever seen A Guy Named Joe?

Someone said that it’s funny how Obama says the problems in our country are with the way the people think, whereas with McCain the problem is with the way our government thinks.
