http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/PartyofA&showFullAbstract=1
We are sitting here watching a Politician (NOT) standing at a rope line for over a half hour signing autographs and speaking to our fellow Countrymen.
Just think about that for a moment. Hell, I find myself getting pissed when CSPAN cuts to a crowd shot for goodness sakes.
Are we weird, or do we just see something that we hope and pray the rest of our fellow Citizens will finally see?
Gotta tell you, I’ve seen Sarah speak in person. The room gets electric, it’s uncanny.
She can win it all! I am convinced.
Let all of the American electorate see and hear her and then decide between obama the Marxist and Palin the patriot:
Polar opposites, *you betcha*.
“....”this speech is goin viral...they heard it on their porch in RUSSIA”.....”
And in truth, NO nation really wants an Obama for the USA. They simultaneously hate us,, but still need us to be old fashioned USA. The entire world is in chaos waiting for America to be itself again. Even the Russians know Obamas weakness is far more destabilizing than a strong honest American like Sarah or Reagan.
Thank you!!! Playing now!
Wait a minute...is that an African-American woman in the crowd around Sarah? But, but...I thought the Tea Party was racist?!! What gives?
You show up on enough Palin threads to have caught the kerfuffle over the September 3rd announcement rumor. That got squashed by her organizers the same day that Rove claimed she'd announce today.
Love the song!
You wrote: “She just wow’s me. She is taking time with all these people listening to them. Taking time for them. Its just incredible.”
I’m “wowed” as well. She’s asking people their names and where they are from.
Incredible.
Yes,lv. She is electric.
You can hear her talking to folks, laughing with them, saying hello to the little kids, signing everything in sight.
We are watching true greatness.
The media pix of this event are going to be great.
Found one link so far to video of today’s speech:

“She did not announce...
You must have missed it when her chief organizers squashed that rumor weeks ago. Palin supporters weren’t expecting her to announce today.”
No. She announced. She just didn’t use the magic words: “I am today announcing my candidacy for the Presidency of the United States”
When she says, “My plan is...” and proceeds to lay out a detailed blue print for economic growth, tax reform and energy independence, she isn’t announcing a plan for a new bus tour or another season of Sarah Palin’s Alaska, but HER plan which she intends to implement once she is elected President of the United States.
It was crystal clear to me, as clear as the magic language that the LSM demands every candidate recite.
She also said “NO BAILOUTS” ... ;^)
Imagine 0bama speaking from the heart without teleprompters!???? No more evil TOTUS!!!!
You’re right! She’s the best, no doubt about it!
GO SARAH!
Mr. Pen was pretty impressed as well. I thought for a moment I saw a slight tear in his eye. This country so needs Palin to be our next President. I truly don’t think anyone else will actually do the bold things that she just laid out.
Tell Mr. Onyx that we are looking forward to getting together real soon...LOL!
She's so NOT rehearsed for this part .. thanking people for coming and how glad she is to see them and you can just hear in her voice that she actually means it.
Dear God, I'm not much of a prayin' guy, but please keep this woman safe and give her and her family the strength to carry on !
The guy pulled the gun (pistol) case out at 12:00 on the recording. I was watching when he pulled it out. I stood up out of my chair thinking what is this? Then she signs it and moves on. She has my vote.
Run Sarah Run!!!
