Well so far, I have yet to hear S*A*R*A*H call the entitlements the Ponzi scheme that they are or suggest the major cutbacks and restructuring that Pawlenty is talking about here.
Most of what I hear from S*A*R*A*H is feel-good, we-can-solve-these-problems-painlessly talk.
What we need is a President who is not afraid to say that to get our economy back on the right track, we are looking at a couple of decades of belt-tightening austerity even if we do all the right things.
Sarah is real.
BTW, Minnesota is full, of pussies, Alaska has Tough Guys.
Most of what I've heard from Sarah Palin since she resigned as governor is her calling Obama on the carpet over a number of issues. She is usually the first out of the gate to do so. Where has Pawlenty been on all this? Or Romney, or Huckabee, etal? Hiding because they don't want the flak that Palin and Rush have received. I don't vote for cowards.
BTW, you couldn’t post this article without attacking Sarah Palin? I would have rather commented on what Pawlenty wrote about. You know now where this thread is headed.
Under no circumstances can we raise the debt limit, and under no circumstances can we deliver anything other than a balanced budget to the president. He can refuse to sign it, but we have to give it to him.
To do anything else will mean we’ve bought the Obama deficits and have made them our own.
And, as a practical matter, if you can’t cut spending when you are bankrupt and facing economic collapse, there really is no hope for you.
Wasn’t he gov when the I-90 bridge collapsed? I’ve wondered how he managed to ditch that scandal.
Good rhetoric and bad ideas from Tim Pawlenty.
Means-testing Social Security cost of living increases? Terrible idea! Tim wants to reward the Federal government for provoking more inflation? Instead just tax the social-security payment if you have to. People in high tax brackets will pay more tax, but everyone will get their COLA.
Even RINOs get it sometimes...and can feel the political winds blowing. America is sick of out-of-control government spending.
This isnt a Palin vs Pawlenty it is us the taxpayer vs the socialists.
I say horray to Pawlenty.
I don't know enough about him, but wasn't he being 'groomed' for years to run as VP with John McCain?
He has some ideas. Some of them pretty good. I will sit back and wait to hear them duke it out.
The best idea is NOT to raise the debt ceiling. We need to live within our means. I’ll support anyone who is in favor of it-Pawlenty, Palin, Ol’ McDonald.
Perhaps you should try decaf.
I’ll be voting for Palin, the next President of the United States.
PALIN 2012
Say it loud FRiend.
This is a leader talking. He knows what needs to be done, is arguing the truth and knows the people will come to support him because people want to support the truth.
How about we cut the scope of the government to put it back into it’s constitutional role in America?
Chopping and trimming at “entitlements” (I take it Pawlenty is referring to stealing Social Security and Medicare - benefits Americans and their employers paid into all their working lives) is not going to solve the problem of our massive government nor it’s out of control spending.
It would be nice if Pawlenty respected the constitution. Being a Rino, he’s never thought about it.
Are you able to compose a comment that would tell the reader what you believe about Pawlenty without trying to tear down Palin? Is Pawlenty that weak?
