Palin Watch Continues: No Announcement In Iowa Speech
By Robin Abcarian Los Angeles Times September 3, 2011 Reporting from Indianola, Iowa— Sarah Palin did not announce a presidential candidacy Saturday in her speech to the Tea Party of America.
Instead, she hit the usual "tea party" high notes about the dangers of a second Obama term and the perilous financial situation the country faces.
But in addition to those familiar themes, she also unleashed a high spirited attack on “corporate crony capitalism” and the “permanent political class.”
It was not lost on the crowd of about 2,000 that a certain Texas governor has spent most of his career in office and has been accused of rewarding his financial backers. That man, Rick Perry, is widely considered the current frontrunner for the nomination.
Sounding very much like a candidate, she proposed her own plan for economic recovery, including repealing “Obamacare,” focusing on energy independence by developing America’s natural resources, and putting an end to the federal corporate income tax. “This” she said, “is how we create millions of high-paying jobs.”
To offset the loss of government revenue, she said, she would “eliminate corporate welfare—the loopholes and bailouts.”
“Barack Obama promised to cut the deficit in half. Instead he turned around and tripled it,” she said. “Barack Obama is adrift,” she said at another point. “He doesn’t make sense.”
“Who wants to win the future by investing in hare-brained ideas” like “solar panels and really fast trains?” These, she said, are “non-starters . . . . All aboard Obama’s bullet train to bankruptcy.”

They aren’t really Palin fans. It may be that some peoples ares are very sensitive to higher notes.
Perry! Bought and paid for!
Keep telling everyone who he'll owe favors to. We want to know.
Unfortunately The Country Club —Rockerfeller type GOP will not support her and abandon the GOP like they did in 1964
She has to be able to attract almost all the independents to win
Forget any of the 43% democrats who vote for any democrat candidate
... and that's without her even being a candidate! (Thanks for the free real estate in your heads, Dinosaur media!)
I think a Palin/Cain ticket would make a lot of liberal heads explode. A lot of RINO heads, too.
Buying a possible future President is not capitalism. It's cronyism. And it's what's wrong with DC.
There are more down home folks voting than there are elitists. The country club set got us in this mess. They can pound sand.
Yes I cowered just a bit too... (lions and tigers and bears... oh my!!!).
Your Populist rhetoric is somewhat amusing though. You sound like a borderline Bolshevik.
Perry! Bought and paid for!
Keep telling everyone who he'll owe favors to. We want to know.
Does it get any better than this? LOL.
GO SARAH!!!!
