Read my post #28 again, you responded to that and in that I specifically pointed out that of all of the potential candidates, she was the only one taking the lead on this issue, we got threads from last year asking where are the leaders talking about this? Analyst yes were but most the potentials no, Palin was well ahead of it

So was Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers and Marc Faber all who predicted this in early 2009 in writing and videos(posted here at FR BTW) long before Palin talked about it.

Gee really?

Do you actually think that the author of the article was implying that Palin was the first person in the world to warn that QE2 would cause inflation to rise sharply?

LOL.

the point is that potential candidate Palin understanding and warning about inflation and QE2 back in the fall was a GOOD thing.

Yeah, not like hundreds of others haven’t been warning against QE 2 as well. Of course it’s all about Palin!

Ugh!

I agree. I didn’t mean to leave out the unemployed. We that are still employed have no idea when the guillotine is coming down on our jobs. If something isn’t done soon many more will be unemployed.

I believe we are currently beyond a recession and actually in depression. Headed straight for a deep depression followed by a hard tyranny if something isn’t done soon.

Amazing how the ignorant force history to repeat itself but those that do are supposed to be the enlightened. unbelievable.

Of the potential candidates who are much smarter than Palin including Cain, what did they say about this last year? If they did then I stand corrected, can you provide a link?

For someone so widely regarded as an idiot the lady sure seems to be right about an awful lot.

You're right - but Palin and Ben Bernanke both knew what Schiff, Rogers and Faber were saying - but only one was wise enough to understand... and that 'one' was Sarah Palin.

The author gives Palin full credit for this elementary and obvious outcome, as if it was her who suddenly discovered it.

Attempting to prop Palin up in this way is laughable and it will backfire on her in a big way. It's just another exxageration of who she is and what she has accomplished from her blind following.

Name another politician who made this public call in advance, besides the marginalized Ron Paul who the media ignore. I dare you to dig up another nation-wide politician who had the guts to come out against QE2 and state that it would not work and would cause inflation. You can't, can you? That is why the article singles out Palin. Because she was the only major nation-wide politician who said don't do it and gave a sound reason not to do it.

Thank you very much for showing his bias and showing his complete lack of objectivity and credibility regarding Palin. You saved me a lot of trouble. Thanks immensely. I appreciate it.

And a big Virginia bump, which is where I want to retire.

I certainly agree that she warned about it a while back when those in DC were not sensing the importance of this, and maybe still dont. Or they just are scared to talk about it.

The problem is that those with presidential ambitions tend be thinking about how they may someday want monetary stimulation to make things look better when they are held responsible by the voters for the economy, but not be blamed for the later inflation. You ever see a president in office complain about interest rates being too low?

There are good reasons why Bachmann doesn’t have anywhere near the kind of support Palin has. Bachmann has a record of making strong statements that make her sound conservative, but she has no record of walking the walk while in an executive position.

Palin says something and then she does it. She did more as Governor than most governors even think about. (If you don’t want to learn more about this or to understand that the real Palin is very different from the Palin you think you know, then do not watch The Undefeated.)

This is the reason the Marxists—the principle enemies of the United States—are so afraid of Palin. It also provides an explanation for why there has been the appearance of a Bachmann push in the leftist run media.

Just a caution to well-meaning conservatives: don’t play into the hands of the Marxists and give your support to a candidate they’ve chosen for you.

There is no "draft Rick Perry" club among FR's Palin supporter ranks. The people pushing him around here are either Texans or GOP "Anybody but Palin" hacks.
