In front of a wildly supportive crowd of Tea Party members at a rally in Indianola, Iowa, Sarah Palin said that the U.S. is now at a “tipping point.”
While didn’t explicitly announce her candidacy for the 2012 Presidential race, observers at the Des Moines Register who covered the event said Palin’s comments sounded like a campaign speech.
“Iowa you are good people,” Palin said. “We’re here because America is at a tipping point. America faces a crisis, and it’s not a crisis like perhaps a Midwest summer storm that moves in and hits hard, but then moves on.”
When the crowd interrupted her 40-minute speech with wild cheers, Palin said: “Folks, you know it’s not enough to just change up the uniform … if we don’t change the game plan.”
Palin covered a broad array of her topics during her speech in front of a rain-soaked crowd of some 2,000.
“Our country can’t afford more trillion dollar thank you notes to campaign backers,” she said. “Like you, I’m not for sale.”
Warning that “it’s time restore a country that we love,” she said the people need to “restore all that is free and good and right about America.”
Here are some other quotes from Palin’s speech as quoted by a Register series of tweets.
*“Real hope is in you. It’s not that hopey, changey stuff that we heard about back in 2008.”
*“Instead of chasing industry off-shore, I propose to eliminate all federal corporate income tax.”
*“Many big corporations, they skirt federal taxes because they have friends in DC who write the rules for the rest of us.”
*“America’s economic revival starts with America’s energy revival.”
*“We need to move on tapping our own God-given natural resources that are part of our reserves.”
*“The real stimulus that we’re waiting for is robust and responsible domestic energy production.”
*“Let’s enforce the 10th amendment. Devolve powers back locally.”
*“My plan is a bona fide, pro working-man’s plan.”
*“The real challenge is not whether we will replace Obama in 2012 but who we will replace him with.”
*“I believe in the free market which is why I detest crony capitalism. ... Obama has shown us crony capitalism on steroids.”
*“I don’t play that game of hiring expert political advisers just so they’ll say something nice about me on TV.”
*“You want to know why the permanent political class never really cuts anything? It’s because there’s nothing in it for them.”
*“Polls? Usually I say polls are for strippers and cross-country skiers.”
*“We are governed by a permanent political class, until we change that.”
*“President Obama, is this what you call winning the future? I call it losing our country.”
*“We love our country in good times and in bad and we never apologize for America.”
Show me were I said either. However since you brought it up I would surmise your are both clueless and perryite. Usually when people say ‘lighten up” a nerve has been hit - just saying.
I did not call you a name. I said that you are either a troll or if not you are uninformed.
Your assertion that Palin quit to go and make more money is incorrect. She quite because she was being sued into bankruptcy because the state of Alaska did not have laws to protect the governor.
Since she quit as you put it they have neacted appropriate laws.
What is much more interesting is that you cannot defend or make excuses for the way in which she was attacked by the White House in the courts. There was a special team put together to hound Palin out of office with lawsuits. No one could withstand this kind of legal assault. No one.
You have a dishonest streak in you not conceding these legal attacks and its consequences.
I'll take your word for it that you are just impatient with her.
See my thoughts on this aspect of her behaviour here.
Cheers!
