Palin Watch Continues: No Announcement In Iowa Speech

By Robin Abcarian Los Angeles Times September 3, 2011 Reporting from Indianola, Iowa— Sarah Palin did not announce a presidential candidacy Saturday in her speech to the Tea Party of America.

Instead, she hit the usual "tea party" high notes about the dangers of a second Obama term and the perilous financial situation the country faces.

But in addition to those familiar themes, she also unleashed a high spirited attack on “corporate crony capitalism” and the “permanent political class.”

It was not lost on the crowd of about 2,000 that a certain Texas governor has spent most of his career in office and has been accused of rewarding his financial backers. That man, Rick Perry, is widely considered the current frontrunner for the nomination.

Sounding very much like a candidate, she proposed her own plan for economic recovery, including repealing “Obamacare,” focusing on energy independence by developing America’s natural resources, and putting an end to the federal corporate income tax. “This” she said, “is how we create millions of high-paying jobs.”

To offset the loss of government revenue, she said, she would “eliminate corporate welfare—the loopholes and bailouts.”

“Barack Obama promised to cut the deficit in half. Instead he turned around and tripled it,” she said. “Barack Obama is adrift,” she said at another point. “He doesn’t make sense.”

“Who wants to win the future by investing in hare-brained ideas” like “solar panels and really fast trains?” These, she said, are “non-starters . . . . All aboard Obama’s bullet train to bankruptcy.”

I’ve been guessing CONSTITUTION DAY, September 17, but I have no idea if she has a speech scheduled or planned for that day.

GO SARAH!

Listen to her speech today. It's posted.

I am a Palin Fan and hope she runs if only to put pressure on the RINOs

But unfortunately listening to the speech her voice is still hard to listen too

It is not her fault and you are born with what you are born with

Like it or not it is not a voice to inspire people--the words are

Don't think she can overcome this disadvantage

I am a realist

And don't forget that during Reagan's time, there was only one actual debate which Reagan suddenly surged to the top from. There were also only 3 major propaganda networks and mainstream America was mostly glued to the 6:00 news or the NYT Headlines.

In this era, believing that Palin is greatly loved by all and worship the ground she walks on, but the media is covering all of that up, is pure delusion.

Palin could enter the race all she wants, but her numbers won't change all that much. She will have that 10 to 15% loyal die hard fan base, but the main voting public will go for the more moderate kind of candidate.

The big money is already headed Perry's way. From Big Oil to Coal, to Industry. An 11 year Governor from a state the size and complexity of Texas, with an extremely solid economic record, is what will win this election.

but if I had a nickel for every

Not to be snark, but, it sounds like you spend too much time on FR to know how many times people make those predictions, and/or perhaps you have too much time on your hands.

Tune in tomorrow, when I'll probably make the same prediction, or perhaps a slightly different one. But, I guess I don't have to tell you to tune in, since you're here all day, apparently.

Well if she were to announce she would draw in tons of money in a very short time. I do not think she will run but I love the fact that there is always room for one more. A 22 minute speech that was good, and 45 minutes mixing with the folks. Sarah is special because of her connection with the folks. She is money and very valuable to the mission of making Obama a one term President and gaining 15 Senate seats and more House seats. She is like no one else and will put her political capital where she feels it best serves the country.

That’s not a complaint that I hear from anyone that I know. But have heard a few FReepers say it. I don’t find her difficult to listen to at all. Maybe a higher voice bothers some people. Parakeets respond better to female voices. :-)

Thanks for your reply, Polybius.

It’s more facts I wasn’t aware of. Incidentally, that’s why I like FR; I learn so much.

Best wishes to you and yours.

And he'll owe all of them favors. With us footing the bill. THAT is the problem and YOU support it.

Sarah isn't for sale.

You are probably talking to Palin Fans

She has to attract more than those to win and the voice is a disadvantage

But maybe it is just me

Keep on shooting insults with those who don't agree with you. That will surely guarantee your candidate a win.

And when I unload that high 4 figure donation to my candidate, I'll remember the “friendly” treatment that the Palin crowd seems to inflict on the competition.

The company I represent (Big Oil) plans a solid 6 figure donation as well, and it won't be Palin. It will be going to Perry.
