Sarah Palin is the first Republican leader to speak at the event in New Delhi. Sarah was invited to speak on her Vision for America.
Today’s tea party is a strong and vibrant movement in the US. The former VP candidate is emphasizing energy challenges. “We all face energy challenges in the international arena.” ENERGY is the key. My vision for a free and prosperous America involves an emphasis on energy.
On green energy– I am in favor of an “all of the above approach” to energy. Unfortunately, though some have stymied responsible drilling. It means we continue to transfer hundreds of millions of American dollars to foreign regimes. Everything is touched.
As government locks up land – they try to tell us that green jobs are our future. “A recent British study found that for every green job, 4 jobs were lost.” This is social engineering.
Americans can tap into our own natural resources. And natural gas- green and efficient. Natural gas is an ideal “bridge fuel” to the future. It’s a false fairy tale for government to interfere and for Americans to believe that we don’t need oil and gas.
“Big government ideas are once again being thrown into the ash heap of history – but they’re not going quietly.”
The future lies with us. There are few limits to what India and America can do together. We both want to expand trade and investment with allies.
It is our people who are driving this relationship.
Our ties and our bonds are deep. They’re not driven by a free people and a free markets not by conclaves.
We will lead because we are on the side of people to make decisions for themselves. We are on the side of religious tolerance and women’s rights. I admire India’s history of strong women leaders.
I supported South Carolina’s first Indian governor Nikki Haley. I support the tea party a vibrant and growing movement.
On social media- We should look at this as an opportunity to advance freedom.
This hunger for freedom is not just American. We have such a connection. Half a world apart but connected by this. We can lead by example.
On trade with India– Sarah Palin: We are thankful for the free trade agreements throughout the world.
On foreign policy- Sarah Palin: There would have been more decisiveness. We have a rich tradition on being on the side of those who seek freedom. “Less dithering and more decisiveness.”
On China- Sarah Palin: China has a choice. We need to be sure and India needs to be sure that we are clear with their expectations… We say they manipulate their currency. They accuse us of the same. …What’s with the military buildup? We have concerns… Again we look forward to see them making the right choice.
On the tea party movement- Sarah Palin: The tea party patriots just want the Constitution to be followed. It’s smaller smarter government. It’s too good to have a leader.
On campaigning for VP- Sarah Palin: You can’t really trust the media. You have to have the boldness and courage of setting the record straight. Especially when they have made their choice… I’m not just going to sit back and take it. I’ve learned you can’t just trust the media to set the record straight. Republicans have the fighting instinct of sheep sometimes. I don’t play the victim card when they do choose to set the election straight.
On losing election- Sarah Palin: Obama was a change agent. Question: But so were you. Sarah Palin: But I wasn’t on the top of the ticket.
Sarah Palin: It’s time a woman became president of the United States of America. (Applause)
Sarah Palin: I am a strong supporter of peace through strength… If we want a more peaceful world India and America must work more closely together.
Her role in Republican Party- Sarah Palin: I’m pretty independent and some people don’t like that… I’m a mom and I just don’t have the time to play some of the games the guys want to play.
On reviving American economy- Sarah Palin: It’s common sense free market principles. Cutting spending.
Last question – Will you husband be called the first man? Sarah Palin: First dude.
Closing statement: When I was waiting for your speech I was talking to an official and he said he was looking forward to her speech. I asked him why and he said, “Because Sarah Palin is a a friend of India.”
West has already said he is not interested in a presidential run at this time. I look forward to him being the VP candidate with either Palin or Bachmann at the top of the ticket.
And the people who think that its time we had a good President, and dont worry about whether we have a woman or a minority.
Those sheep just need the right babe to lead (and herd) them.
Do you know when the first woman candidate for President was? It was a while back.
I don’t think anyone should be sidelined, I just do not think there is a set aside and a quota
I want a candidate who will take the oath of the presidency seriously. I want a candidate who understands the Constitution and won't be working 24/7 to destroy it. I want a candidate who understands that government is the preventer of freedom, not the granter of freedom.
I want a candidate who views the ever-expanding federal government as an impediment to liberty. I want a candidate who is not afraid to express the opinion that the sixteenth and seventeenth Amendments are such impediments to liberty and need to be repealed to restore the promise of the Founders.
I want a candidate who clearly understands that the nation can no longer travel down the path the federal government has set for us because it is a dead-end to poverty and tyranny.
This kind of conversation, concerning skin color or gender being a qualification or an impediment to anything, is the kind of thing the Left obsesses about. I simply won't entertain it. There is far more at stake.
Well I have to agree...as long as she’s white...looks like the black man failed at governing this country but to his credit I’ll give him a BIG A+ for vacations, parties and golf!!
Sarah Palin is referring to herself, not just any woman. She is selling herself to the voters. You do know that if she runs, her gender is going to be used against her, right? Well, this is Palin making her case that gender DOES NOT MATTER! Palin is taking the GOP Establishments arguments away from them with a preemptive strike. You folks need to learn to comprehend strategies and not be so quick with the knee jerk reactions. THINK! (or are some of you opposed to her no matter what she says or does?)
Its the headline because its the only thing new or different in the article
Before Palin was on the ticket, McCain was lucky to draw “crowds” of 500 at rallies. If you check Rasmussen's 2008 daily polling, you'll discover the ONLY time McCain was ahead was the days between Palin joining the ticket and the TARP bailing.
If you believe Palin was the reason McCain lost, you are incredibly ignorant.
Better adjust your tin foil hat.
Management (decision making ) for what you don't want runs you around in circles and doesn't accomplish a damn thing
We have to change the language. Our founding fathers fought a revolution for _____________(go ahead fill in the blank, if you need a hint, look at the name of the website)In contrast, the French revolution was about?
Every discussion I have with liberals or conservatives is in great detail about what they DON'T want. So, what do we want?
I think we can convert and unite people about the concept of ________, at least we have a chancc. We will never unite people on what they don't want. Successful revolutions are fought on ALL fronts and for something.
No, the women who have run and lost were not elected because people didnt want them as President. No one is sidelining anybody. Should Carol Mosely Braun have been elected? What about Hillary? Why would you support sidelining them, if after all, we have moved beyond that?
we need to make a real effort to find that black, female, lesbian conservative!
I like West but is low % of voting record on spending is cause for concern. He voted less than 75% of the time for spending cuts when the vast majority of the freshman class voted >90% for those same cuts. West is not following his words with actions and until he does my support for a higher office for him is not there yet...
Are you sure? I give you Dole and McCain.
The media won’t push a Palin run as “historic.” They’ve already played that tune with Shirley Chisholm AND Hillary Clinton.
Disc or drum?
she was being tongue and cheek.
Prove it.
she is fighting for you and your children’s future.
Liberal Playbook quote?
There was a Gallup poll a few weeks ago that said that Palin is significantly more popular among moderate/liberal Republicans than conservative Republicans for the nomination as our Presidential candidate. She was also significantly more popular among people who are not religious/never attend services than those who attend on a monthly, weekly, etc. I thought it was a bad sample.
But after seeing all of the pro-gay and pro-feminism comments from Sarah in recent months, I’m really starting to wonder. If the “liberal Republicans” like her more than RINOs Romney and Huckabee or anyone else, there’s really not much of a record she compiled that I feel comfortable looking at to conclude that she’s an authentic conservative aside from what she says.
Her loyalist branch of people who insist that she’s the only option and that it is unreasonable to examine these strange statements she keeps making are also making me suspicious. That’s the kind of behavior we see from Obama-bots on the left - willful blindness is NOT a conservative trait.
Maybe I’m just being stupid, but my gut is telling me that something is fishy.
I have seen no evidence the country really cares about sexism against conservative women
