Sarah endorses Romney and Ryan ... well I'll be a blue-eyed, butt-slapping, Babylonian baboon.

Congratulations to Mitt Romney on his choice of Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate. President Obama has declared that this election is about “two fundamentally different visions” for America. Goodness, he’s got that right. Our country cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama’s fundamentally flawed vision. We must now look to this new team, the Romney/Ryan ticket, to provide an alternate vision of an America that is fiscally responsible, strong, and prosperous – an America that understands and is proud of her exceptional place in the world and will respect those who fight to secure that exceptionalism, which includes keeping our promises to our veterans.
When I think about the direction our country is rapidly drifting in, I can’t help but look at California as a cautionary tale. The Golden State once boasted the entrepreneurial innovation of Silicon Valley, the American creative engine of the arts, economically powerful and beautiful cities from San Francisco to San Diego, and fertile farmlands that helped feed the nation. Now it is descending into financial ruin accompanied by an exodus of middle class Californians leaving for other states. As one writer put it, California’s “fastest-growing entity is government and its biggest product is red tape.”
Obama’s vision for America will make the rest of the country look like California, minus the beautiful scenery and warm weather.
Obama’s America is today’s California – complete with $100 billion taxpayer funded bullet trains to nowhere; out of control environmental extremists who have destroyed family farms and left some of the most fertile farm land in America fallow in order to protect a three inch fish; permanent high unemployment; government policies hostile to small business job creators; crippling high taxes; an abysmal real estate market; bloated government that wastes taxpayer money; endless budget shortfalls due to massive unfunded liabilities; city after city declaring bankruptcy; and a state government run by, in the words of one Wall Street Journal writer, “a brothel of environmentalists, lawyers, public-sector unions and legislative bums.”
We can’t afford Obama’s vision. Our children can’t afford it. Today we are over $15 trillion in debt and running up trillion dollar budget deficits year after year for as far as the eye can see. And our “leaders” have no plan to stop it! President Obama and this Congress don’t even have the fundamental blueprint—a budget!—to outline where they intend to take us as they merrily roll along with their out of control spending and constant increases of our debt “limit.” Our debt to China alone is more than we can ever hope to pay off in multiple generations. Such debt and dependence on foreign nations weakens us in countless ways. And yet our government keeps on spending despite the risks and despite conscientious, hardworking citizens telling them to just stop it. Our debt is growing by $3 million per minute. This debt, in conjunction with Obama’s massive government over-reaches like Obamacare, has strangled the private sector, which in turn has stifled job growth and slowed all economic growth. The only way to get our country moving again is to get back to basics like normal people do with our home and small business budgets! That means we must live within our means, get government out of the way of our job creators, develop the God-given natural resources we have been blessed with to provide real jobs and real energy security, and stop growing government and wasting taxpayer money on D.C. cronyism and useless stimulus kick-backs for favored donors.
Barack Obama’s record is one of dismal failure, which is why he isn’t talking about it. He would rather spend his time demonizing his opponents. The simple fact remains that Mitt Romney is not responsible for the dire state of our economy or the corruption and incompetence of the current administration.
Over the next 86 days, Barack Obama will try to distract us from his record. Many in the media will roll along with him in this mission. We must not let them continue the deception and distractions, and we must not be afraid to call the President out on his lies. His entire record in office exposes the false promises he made four years ago. So, let’s take a moment to remember what candidate Obama said just four short years ago.
Candidate Obama promised us fiscal prudence. But President Obama’s reckless spending and lack of fiscal leadership has led to the downgrading of our nation’s credit rating for the first time in history.
Candidate Obama decried reckless spending and promised to cut the deficit. But President Obama and those in Congress who control the purse strings and “go along to get along” have tripled it. President Obama’s proposed budget was so absurdly and wildly irresponsible that not one member of Congress, Republican or Democrat, voted in favor of it. And yet the Democrat controlled Senate still refuses to pass a budget itself, and this refusal has been going on for years now. That is irresponsible and, much more, it’s unconstitutional.
Candidate Obama promised us a “smarter government,” but President Obama has created a government that’s not too big to fail, but too big to succeed.
Candidate Obama promised us a plan for American energy independence. But President Obama has forced American taxpayers to subsidize bankrupt green energy companies with ties to his campaign donors. And when it comes to the energy we actually use to fuel our economy, President Obama’s administration blocks drilling and drags its feet on the permitting process. Meanwhile, he supports foreign energy developments, but not American made energy development. His administration opposes everything from drilling in ANWR to building the Keystone Pipeline to coal plants, but he’s all for subsidizing offshore drilling in Brazil and sitting back on his thumb while China moves in to pursue oil deals with Canada because his administration blocked responsible energy infrastructure development.
Candidate Obama promised us “the most transparent administration in history.” But in addition to refusing FOIA-requested documents, President Obama’s administration regularly holds meetings outside the White House and off the official White House visitor list with lobbyists and corporate interests they don’t want us to know about.
Candidate Obama promised to unite all America, but President Obama has cynically divided us again and again in his efforts to win reelection by playing identity politics and class warfare and pitting one group against another.
Candidate Obama promised us a “fundamentally transformed” America, and that is the only promise he’s delivered on. We can see now what his idea of “hope” is. Now we want change. He has failed to lead, so We the People must lead. And our leadership starts at the ballot box on November 6th.
Please continue to focus on the presidential race and on helping Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, but it’s also imperative that we get involved in the nation’s important House and Senate races. These candidates need our help to ensure that our next president has a responsible and ethical Congress that actually gets things done for America. Now on to November!
- Sarah Palin
Sarah is CLASS.
What she said.
Bang! Just like that. With morning comes the sunrise.
Damn....she knows how to say “it” without actually saying it.
Love that woman!
Michelle Malkin just put the spotlight on this must see video of Paul Ryan discussing medicare reform. It is awesome. And I think we should viralize it, and get Democrats and independents to watch it before the libs get around to putting up their bogus arguments against it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJIC7kEq6kw&info=Ryan_Medicare
AMEN

It’s a damn shame she is not the GOP nominee. She would be if not for the democrats and RINOs trying to completely destroy her from the minute they layed eyes on her, and this includes Romney. He was part of the Palin hit team in 2008 and had nothing good to say about her. She despises him. Romney, Rove and the rest of the GOP RINO establishment can go straight to hell as far as I’m concerned. If Romney wins, the only hope for conservatism is for him to not run for reelection. He would be 70 by then. Paul Ryan could run, with Palin on the ticket, but I would prefer the other way around. It is an absolute disgrace the way this woman has been treated by the asses that run the GOP.
I love the way Sarah compares Candidate Obama’s promises with the dismal reality of President Obama’s decisions.

Yes! In no way am I a Romney fan however I will yield to Sarah.
Maybe Sarah is right and knows instinctively where she should be. In a strange sort of way, she has more clout now, sans official position, than she would have as a VP candidate.
She is the conscience of the Tea Party, and she may see her role better served from her position outside the government, where she can serve as the focus and embodiment of the movement — to the degree anyone can, of course.
But this endorsement of Romney/Ryan will go a long way towards generating excitement in the Conservative base.
It doesn’t take much parsing of that statement to note that it is a heck of a lot less “Yay Romney” than it is “Anyone but Obama” — even though she said gracious things about both of them.
Still, it’s going to have a major impact. If Sarah’s satisfied, most grassroots Conservatives are going to be satisfied as well.
Sarah gets it..this is not about liking Romney, this is about saving this country. Romney was never my choice, but I never thought in my lifetime I would see my country turn into Greece, never thought it would be overrun by Socialist dictator hell bent on America’s total destruction. For me its not about voting for Romney, its about saving this country, because if Obama is re-elected and we become a Socialist country, there is no turning back. Socialism can rarely be reversed, once its done its done.
Ryan’s a smart guy and is certainly capable of being President, but Romney is at the top of this ticket for a very important reason. All politics aside, everything I’ve read and heard about him “behind the scenes” tells me that he’s one of the most effective, competent executives ever to run for the White House. That may not be enough to win an election, but he’s there to be a leader in some very challenging times for this country.
Well this one is unless Romney goes total McCain and puts a lid on Ryan.
Don't see him doing that, if he does, Sarah will call him on it, I have no doubt.
The more I see Governor Palin in action, the better I like her and respect her more. She is a class act.
Oh lord, why wasn’t SHE our candidate.
That is the most articulate article yet on the
Obama administration and where it has and is
taking us.
