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.”
Right now...I feel that while she has certainly supported the highest moral concepts of the party, there is a lack of that "decision making" process that goes with the Presidency. (Sorry Sarah...just my opinion)
I do think she's good for the party...but I'd rather get behind someone who has an unwavering loyalty of "wisemen". I think Bush chose the best....It was the beginning of the anti Bush rhetoric...which goes on and on and on....because the Dems just don't know when to quit.
I think 2012 is a good time to send them their pink slips.
I disagree with the former governor when she said “What America needs is a woman president.”
I also disagreed with former Governor Reagan when he said in 1980, “What America needs is a woman Supreme Court justice,” and he gave us Sandra Day O’Connor.
I like Allen West, but just a few days ago, there was a thread I was in calling him a RINO because he wont support the Constitution and isnt pro-life. I did a quick search, and also found Rand Paul and Paul Ryan are RINOs threads.
Id love to vote for someone like those guys, but I wonder if the small group of purists is going to do enough harm to effectively give conservatives only one candidate.
she was responding to a question of if she thought a woman COULD be elected POTUS. And she responded that not only did she thing a woman could be elected in present day America but she thought it was time fo a woman to be elected.
LOL, didn't we get one of them already?
There is no such thing as a “time” a woman became President anymore than there is a time for a functionally illiterate became President.
We don’t take turns being President.
2012 would be a good year for a real conservative with conviction to step forward and run for President, man or woman.
The majority of Republican males are boobies: Romney, Lugar, McConnell, Boehner, Cantor, Daniels, etc. I prefer a strong, principled candidate who has boobs than a sniveling, unprincipled male who is a boob.
Right now NO ONE is running.
about the only people that don’t think it’s time a woman was elected are the sexists that don’t think ANY woman should be elected.
Maybe because he saw the speech?
Your whole low rent, mildly retarded, version of Charles Krauthammer act would go down a lot easier if you’d actually inform yourself and watch speeches rather than making a donkey out of yourself by demanding that someone ‘prove’ something that could never possibly be proven.
Lucky for you, someone will probably upload the interview to YouTube.
Sheila Jackson-Lee for President??
It’s time?
We have those guys who landed on Mars backing her campaign
lol
Why not, they’ve done such wonderful things since they got the vote....
That would be NM Gov. Susana Martinez, who already has done away with drivers licenses for illegals.
and yet for 200+ years 50% of the population has been sidelined from the seat simply because of their sex.
We have moved beyond as a country that one sex should be sidelined for any position. And all candidates should be on equal footing where their ideas and convinctions can be looked upon in that backdrop.
Her parents weren't citizens when she was born.
It's a good article, but a bad headline. No "hats off" to Gateway Pundit this time.
ROFL. We’d have a PC two-fer: Black and female.
Now if she were only a Lesbian.
LOL
