Not a one. Just an occasional glance at her notes. I decided to watch it and not live FReep because I didn’t want to miss anything. She totally changed the whole debate just now and put the political class on notice...........
‘Sarah Palin is coming and the Tea Party is coming with her’
WOOHOO!!
I need to change my tag line. Sarah 2012!
How many Iowans were there I wonder?
Yes, it is pro-growth and many will like to get rid of their accounsts and lawyers! She kills K-Street with this move, Just like Steve Forbes wanted to with his Flat Tax.
They are now $&iting their pants too...
Oh the non survivors like GM LOL !!!!
thank you
She just wow’s me. She is taking time with all these people listening to them. Taking time for them. Its just incredible. i don’t remember even RR doing that.
She is gracious and awesome with the folks you can’t make this up she is the real deal. I love this as much as the speech.
See post 890 for link.
Damn, you just blind sided me with that one. Have to think about that longer as on the surface, it makes a hell of a lot of sense knowing how she works hard to achieve success and I could very well see her trying to influence the other "branches" now, rather than trying what our current marxist is doing "after" election.
PING to this post.
PRAYING that she runs. She is needed more now than ever before!
I will do that. I wrote it down so I won’t forget. Used an old fashioned pen and paper. LOL
YOU ARE AWESOME THANK YOU! I WILL POST A NEW THREAD FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO MISSED IT!
You are completely right about that Windflier......none operates the political field as palin does she is a true leader....never a follower.
Sure it does. As she said, you don't need a title. If you have a good plan, you sell the plan to the people, and the politicians will come along for the ride.
All we need is a president who recognizes a good plan. It's great if they have a plan, but more important is being able to take a good plan and ram it through the political process.
Same here, but it's become a part of her standard stump speech. I think it just popped out while she was adlibbing.
It’s gonna be on C-Span again at 7:00pm Central. Atleast according to the guide.
I loved the speech, especially the part about “...hobbitts...”....seemed like ~20 minutes...needed more!
LOL
She was telling people to get involved, they didn’t need a title to make a difference.
See post 890 for link to speech......
You know, that's the first I remember a politician making me cry too. For me, the second was GWB with the megaphone, "The people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!"
Watching Sarah Palin working the crowd after today's speech is bringing a tear to my eye now. She's simply electric. I'm so pleased C-SPAN is providing this extended coverage.
