If Palin does endeavor a run for office, I hope she goes for the big prize, the presidency. She’s really the only one I truly believe who would at least try to tackle the whole corrupt DC system... the slimey nexus of government/media/big-business that feeds and enlarges the federal behemoth, and comprises the “professional political class” as she calls it. I no longer have any faith that the GOP itself has any interest in this.
U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) told the tale of one of his constituents who applied for tax-exempt status for her Tea Party group in July 2010. Twenty months later she got her first response from the IRS, a letter with dozens of questions. She answered them all, but she’s still waiting for approval. However, during the intervening three years she was visited by the FBI’s domestic terrorism unit, had four additional FBI inquiries, had both her personal and business taxes audited and been the subject of an OSHA inspection.
