Sarah Palin is the first Republican leader to speak at the event in New Delhi. Sarah was invited to speak on her Vision for America.
Today’s tea party is a strong and vibrant movement in the US. The former VP candidate is emphasizing energy challenges. “We all face energy challenges in the international arena.” ENERGY is the key. My vision for a free and prosperous America involves an emphasis on energy.
On green energy– I am in favor of an “all of the above approach” to energy. Unfortunately, though some have stymied responsible drilling. It means we continue to transfer hundreds of millions of American dollars to foreign regimes. Everything is touched.
As government locks up land – they try to tell us that green jobs are our future. “A recent British study found that for every green job, 4 jobs were lost.” This is social engineering.
Americans can tap into our own natural resources. And natural gas- green and efficient. Natural gas is an ideal “bridge fuel” to the future. It’s a false fairy tale for government to interfere and for Americans to believe that we don’t need oil and gas.
“Big government ideas are once again being thrown into the ash heap of history – but they’re not going quietly.”
The future lies with us. There are few limits to what India and America can do together. We both want to expand trade and investment with allies.
It is our people who are driving this relationship.
Our ties and our bonds are deep. They’re not driven by a free people and a free markets not by conclaves.
We will lead because we are on the side of people to make decisions for themselves. We are on the side of religious tolerance and women’s rights. I admire India’s history of strong women leaders.
I supported South Carolina’s first Indian governor Nikki Haley. I support the tea party a vibrant and growing movement.
On social media- We should look at this as an opportunity to advance freedom.
This hunger for freedom is not just American. We have such a connection. Half a world apart but connected by this. We can lead by example.
On trade with India– Sarah Palin: We are thankful for the free trade agreements throughout the world.
On foreign policy- Sarah Palin: There would have been more decisiveness. We have a rich tradition on being on the side of those who seek freedom. “Less dithering and more decisiveness.”
On China- Sarah Palin: China has a choice. We need to be sure and India needs to be sure that we are clear with their expectations… We say they manipulate their currency. They accuse us of the same. …What’s with the military buildup? We have concerns… Again we look forward to see them making the right choice.
On the tea party movement- Sarah Palin: The tea party patriots just want the Constitution to be followed. It’s smaller smarter government. It’s too good to have a leader.
On campaigning for VP- Sarah Palin: You can’t really trust the media. You have to have the boldness and courage of setting the record straight. Especially when they have made their choice… I’m not just going to sit back and take it. I’ve learned you can’t just trust the media to set the record straight. Republicans have the fighting instinct of sheep sometimes. I don’t play the victim card when they do choose to set the election straight.
On losing election- Sarah Palin: Obama was a change agent. Question: But so were you. Sarah Palin: But I wasn’t on the top of the ticket.
Sarah Palin: It’s time a woman became president of the United States of America. (Applause)
Sarah Palin: I am a strong supporter of peace through strength… If we want a more peaceful world India and America must work more closely together.
Her role in Republican Party- Sarah Palin: I’m pretty independent and some people don’t like that… I’m a mom and I just don’t have the time to play some of the games the guys want to play.
On reviving American economy- Sarah Palin: It’s common sense free market principles. Cutting spending.
Last question – Will you husband be called the first man? Sarah Palin: First dude.
Closing statement: When I was waiting for your speech I was talking to an official and he said he was looking forward to her speech. I asked him why and he said, “Because Sarah Palin is a a friend of India.”
Go Saraaaah!
With big broom, cleanup prostitucians, RATs and RINOs!!
EXACTLY. This is one of the reason, and arguably the biggest reason we're stuck with Obama; Too many people thought it "was time" for a black president.
I hate identity politics, and I especially loathe identity politics when practiced by allegedly conservative politicians.
"I’ve learned you can’t just trust the media to set the record straight. Republicans have the fighting instinct of sheep sometimes."
All together now, boom, there it is, boom, there it is!
We need a woman. Any woman. That is all that matters.
Making sex a qualification, legitimizes making it a disqualification.
No, it isn’t Sarah.
It’s time for a conservative American patriot to be president.
The genetalia of said person isn’t important.
I think I’ll be looking elsewhere.
I’m tired of typical stupidity such as this.
I’m, still, hoping for a final ‘12 GOP Presidential ticket of, either, Sarah Palin/Herman Cain, or Sarah Palin/Allen West.
Two things.
First, the author doesnt seem to quote her, it looks more like summaries. So until someone shows a quote where she said it, I wont hold it against her.
Second, if the conservative movement devolves into identity politics and doing things for the sake of something other than protecting the Constitution, then it will not survive as a movement.
No, I kind of agree -- but we shouldn't stop there if we're going to play these games. Let's elect a "hot-looking woman of Asian extraction because it's time."
I nominate Michelle Malkin.

Good grief, the feminist speaks........
Wow.
“You have to have the boldness and courage of setting the record straight. Especially when they have made their choice… I’m not just going to sit back and take it. I’ve learned you can’t just trust the media to set the record straight. Republicans have the fighting instinct of sheep sometimes. I don’t play the victim card when they do choose to set the election straight. “
No more of Bush’s hiding from the media misdirection.
I’m all in.
That's what Hillary thought would get her elected.
The last thing Sarah Palin needs to do is remind anyone that she is a woman. I like it better when she goes after the issues and not hide behind her genre. That's what liberals do.
Very good statement by Sarah, especially in India where they know strong women leaders like Indira Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi.
This is an excellent move by Sarah to visit the two countries who along with the US face Islamic terrorism. The contacts she makes here will be invaluable when she becomes President.
I bet Obama is seething with jealousy.
A shame too. Sarah's political stances are enough to win.
Give me a brake she was being tongue and cheek. Lighten up she is fighting for you and your children’s future.
“Oh yes. Let’s elect a woman to be POTUS simply because ‘It’s time’.”
Well, when I look around the GOP I don’t see (m)any males s who aren’t squishes
It worked great the last time around... :P
