Former Governor Sarah Palin gave the keynote speech at a Tea Party rally in Indianola, Iowa on Saturday afternoon.
"We sent a new class of leaders to DC, but immediately the permanent political class, they tried to co-opt them. Because the reality is we are governed by a permanent political class, until we change that," Palin said about career politicians.
The speech, roughly 40 minutes, ranged from politics to policy. Palin made sure to address reforming taxes and entitlements. Palin called for eliminating all federal corporate income taxes and called entitlement reform "our duty."
As predicted, Palin took a swipe at career politicians, which some suggest is a veiled criticism of GOP candidate Gov. Rick Perry.

Expect round two tomorrow in NH!
My bet is that within a month of the start of her candidacy, she will have more money than the RNC.
Monday!
These five day weekends always throw me off!
If one were to poll the popularity of the professional political class in general (elected or civil service and of whatever party) the result would be half or less of whatever percentage of the population itself is in government employment. And any left over hate the second party in her target box, big capital. In other words, this speech was a declaration of war against the two most most despised groups in America. That is awfully shrewd target selection for a "Backwoods Barbie".
It could be considered a "high risk" strategy if all one knows is working on the public's dime and you think losing an election is a "risk". But I don't think she sees the world that way. And it shows that Mrs. Palin, assuming she does run, is going to stand out like Snow White on a stage with seven (or however many) dwarfs on every debate stage she occupies from now till November of next year.
How have y’all defined “soon?”
I really believe you right. I can't do the $1,000 but I will donate $20.12/week through the campaign. To me, Sarah Palin is a solid investment.
Run Sarah, RUN!!
