Perhaps someone can explain how this can be when she doesn't even advocate ending any programs or agencies of government, even those that are plainly unconstitutional such as the Dept. of Education.

That's not pertinent right now. Palin's cornerstone issue is energy. Everything revolves around energy because high energy prices drive up the costs of all goods and services.

If you've bothered to look at her record as Governor rather than touting a political party who's total membership is the equivalent of a local fitness center, you'd discover that she drastically reorganized the state government and discontinued funding redundant and obsolete programs. I'm confident she'll put forth a plan on reducing the size of the federal government or endorse Rand Paul's plan.

I hear similar comments all the time. There's no doubt that she's a politician that makes it easy for people to project their fondest hopes and wishes onto, that's for sure. She's a regular political rorschach test.

That is absolutely correct. We have to survive what Obama and the democrats and the RINOs have done to the economy and that means taking emergency actions first, then moving on to the luxuries.

The number one emergency action is freeing up the markets in energy.

I do wish she would say: DEFUND THE EPA.
