That would cover 2 dudes, can you be more specific? ;)
Because the schedule is listed as 11am CDT - 2PM, (see first post on the thread) which makes it a 3 hour event -- Noon to 3pm ET. And her speech is at the end.
Maybe there is a glitch somewhere, but I am just going by the schedules as reported.
The weather is going to be a major concern. Thunderstorms moving into the area. (Perhaps apropos!)
O, happy day!
..that’s been his nickname in Texas for a long time—the other guy from Mass. is irrelevant IMHO...
@PeterHambyCNN
Peter Hamby big thunderstorm moving through Indianola. Palinistas running for cover.
Good point.
CSPAN is running some programs regarding labor.
They just finished with Sec. of Labor Hilda Solis. [I turned it on about 45 minutes into her interview.]
She was talking/blaming gridlock for the economic situation. She also said during the Obama Term, they have created 2.4 million jobs, even though they only managed a few thousand the last few months.
[And she said it with a straight face. They have repeated the lies so many times, they actually believe the lies themselves.]
==
Next segment has Fiscal Times Senior Editor, Yuval Rosenberg. He says the economy needs to be adding at least 130,000 new jobs per month just to attain the break-even point, but things are going alright because consumer spending is good.
Caller complains that businesses are sitting on bundles of cash and refusing to hire people. Rosenberg agrees with caller. [He fails explain that buinesses are apprehensive, because of the uncertain business environment.]
Rosenberg says the last stimulus did create 2.9 million jobs, but the money could have been spent better.
[I can’t listen to any more of this clueless propaganda.]
It is like Peter Singleton said last night at the C4P meet-up:
Sarah is the only one with the COURAGE and the VISION to lead this country right now. Someone piped up with: And the record!
Singleton also said: This is not about Sarah, it is about us [the people] but we need a leader.
Couldn’t agree more!!!
Battle Hymn of the Republic—very bellicose, hmmm?
(sarc)_
bttt
My bet is October around Columbus Day.
love your signature quote! :-)
@IowaPolitics
IowaPolitics Pouring rain at Tea Party of America’s “Restoring America” event in Indianola. People huddled under umbrellas, under media tent.
The front row of the media tent seemed like a good idea, but rain making its way in here. Computer getting wet. All this to see Sarah Palin.
We really need a ‘like’ button. :)

That FNC poll was hinky from the get go. Why poll registered and not likely voters, eh? Snort.
