Sarah Palin’s complete Iowa speech; a constitutionalist sets out her vision for the US going forward — “fundamental restoration”:
protein wisdom’s response: run run sarah save christmas save save christmas.
******
update: Rove the concern troll: how will Sarah Palin handle scrutiny, with her enormous thin skin? If only she had the gravitas of, say, a Jon Huntsman…
Now about 1/2 way through Sarah’s speech … got a giggle out of her “hobbit” line and her mocking of the Obama admin trying to “rebrand” the Federal Government as the “Federal Family”
“I want to be emancipated!”
heh
Constitutional principles are finally an outlier. Or will be until the left finds itself out of power, at which point the Looney Tunes version of them will again be all the rage.
Rove is serving up some pretty thin gruel if he thinks that comment has any merit. Like we haven’t already witnessed the public keel-hauling of Palin only to see her come back stronger than ever. Her dig a McCain was a death-blow to her past loyalty to him. Hobbit, indeed.
She’s found the sympathy nexus for both sides of the aisle without pandering to the poor with promises of mere sustenance, and without throwing big business under the bus. The only thing she’s throwing under the bus is the System.
Damn snowbilly is gonna be the death of the GOP. We can hope.
The name Solyndra belonged in the speech at 16:50, yet it wasn’t there. Indeed, a short list of the bankrupt beneficiary corporations, affixed to a brief account of the wasted capital the Obama administration has burned underneath them, would help.
As to the statement from SarahPac Rove refers to, it reads:
[…] Palin blasts crony capitalism, pay for play, “politics as usual” update: Rove the concern troll: how will Sarah Palin handle scrutiny, with her enormous thin skin? If only she had the gravitas of, say, a John Huntsman… […]
Some of what I took from this speech.
Eliminate all corporate income tax and all corporate welfare, loopholes, bailouts.
[this would, I take it, mean ethanol and farm subsidies too]
Drill baby drill. Build the refineries and pipelines. Unleashing the energy sector will be the best “stimulus” for our economy and will bring in revenue not cost the taxpayers money. We can be an energy superpower.
Repeal Obamacare.
Reform entitlements ourselves because reform is coming and if we don’t do it it will be forced on us from the outside which will hurt everyone much more.
Take back all unspent stimulus funds.
Rein in the regulatory agencies.
Rein in the Federal Government, enforce the 10th amendment.
This speech will instantly dismay every GOP beltway wannabe.
Sarah continues to force the conversation in directions establishment politicians are very uncomfortable with.
Been a bit busy with household repairs last couple days so haven’t given this a watch yet. Sounds like I should though based on reactions I’m seeing and Geoff’s bullet points.
I will say that an enormous Australian spider lurking in my bathroom would definitely get my immediate and undivided attention — but not my vote for president.
“…run run sarah save christmas save save christmas.”
Pikachu parody,
Well played sir!
I remember Sarah Palin she was that pretty lady from Alaska what did that tv show with the bears in it and the sammins
not a pikachu parody run run rudolph sarah save the christmas! was a gift from the good Mr. buttons who is very dear to us all cause of how he makes the internet better
Then a national sales tax is perhaps the only way to halt the assault on the individual by way of taxing his time and property.
Reform with a vengeance or more appropriately and for far more durable effects, dismantle entitlements and with them, entire programs and their bureaucracies.
Pass a constitutional amendment that removes government from the domestic sector. “Reining in” this cancer is far too arbitrary a plan.
Also with a vengeance. Run and win, Sarah, and then do everything you can to pack the court.

It’s possible I missed the origination however sarcasm was clearly the intent of the replay and (not speaking for him) seemed to be what Jeff was responding to.
“a national sales tax”
JHo,
If given a clean slate it would be an attractive option. Unfortunately, today it would be one more trick in the progressive playbook. Might be best not to push the pandora playbutton.
Eliminate taxes altogether, raise money by auctioning off votes on ebay.
Instead of corruptocrats confiscating money and buying voters, let the voters buy the votes from the government.
Mr. buttons deserves the credit is all I meaned
Hey, you’d be a bit thin-skinned too if Andy Sullivan tried to move into your uterus.
speaking of indianola you maybe don’t know this story
Different Indianola. So is this one. Hmmm, didn’t know there was a Calhoun County in Texas. I’m in the Michigan one.
Lot more Indianolas than I’d have thought.
As the only tax levied, I don’t see how. And as the only tax levied, you’re right: we’ve a snowball’s chance in hell of putting into effect.
Alana Goodman, a Palin critic — not a supporter — inadvertently lays out what the SarahPac release above was concerned to prevent, and Karl Rove appears to have been concerned to induce: a testy, let down, disappointed response in her fans who’ve not paid close attention to the letter of Palin’s own words on her potential decision to run or not, but who can be easily misled by their own o’erweening enthusiasm and a few hints dropped by the likes of Mr Rove to expect outcomes that may not prove to be the case, should Palin decide against a run.
Me? I see a politician who can think through the various potential consequences of her actions, negative as well as positive, and step up to do something about them before they arrive. Then too, I see Karl Rove acting like a thin-skinned man sensitive to criticism potentially harmful to his carefully crafted public-image, so he lights out into a spin cycle to do something about that before he takes on more damage. He musta jammed at least five repetitions of variations of “thin skin” into that Van Susteren interview: the man knows how to hammer a talking point, gotta give him that.
Rove’s best days are behind him pundit-wise, and he knows it. The establishment GOP is on its way out. They can either go quietly or get trampled.
This blog post is super juicy. It looks like they are going to start fighting back. It’s about time somebody took on these counter-productive ignoramuses!
http://mittromneycentral.com/2011/09/04/misguided-freedomworks-protests-romneys-tea-party-appearance/
If FreedomWorks gets their way, President Obama is going to get re-elected… Can’t we all just allow the candidates speak and let people decide for themselves!
If Mitt Romneycare gets his way, President Obama is going to get re-elected.
Huh?
Oh, not you, McG. Dnlschisholm, huh?
“This blog post is super juicy” and then an off topic plug elsewhere?
Seems spammy.
I hate these posts. It just depresses the fuck out of me that Karl goddam Rove is considered some sort of genius.
A Romney candidacy is one of the best chances Obama has for re-election. Huntsman would be a close second if he had a prayer of winning the nomination.
Mitt much?
Very good, Geoff.
Your google-fu is fast like the cobra.
This blog post is super juicy.
Something about that sentence makes me want to punch his lights out.
What else would be super juicy? Fresh squeezed oranges! How about my mowing clothes after an hour or so marching up and down in the sun? Or a hot to trot cougar’s twa– . . . oh nevermind.
Oh for fucks sake:
Really, tar and feathers is too kind.
Completely off topic: the problem with hanging a screen door is shimming an aluminum frame. With a wooden frame you just shim around the hinges. With an aluminum frame, you need to make a strip or strips of wood that run long lengths otherwise the screws just bend the metal and look shitty and/or leave gaps. Took me an hour to get one roughly perpendicular side today.
On the topic of a juicy: … nevermind, as well. I’ve already worked blue this month. I’ll get a reputation if I keep it up.
Really, tar and feathers is too kind.
If I fully expressed my opinion of this, the Secret Service would be at my door. The Federal Government as VC firm makes me feel very killy.
Yep, it’s worse than Obama playing maid-service to flooded NewJoisyians.

And from the other side…
This should help.
Sounds like what Maxine wants to take nationwide.
THE
BEATINGSREGIME UNCERTAINTY WILL CONTINUE UNTILMORALE IMPROVESTHE RECOVERY TAKES PLACE: Maxine Waters Threatens To “Tax Banks Out Of Business.” Posted by Glenn Reynolds at 9:10 pmI think that new ballot proposal in #41 would pretty much destroy the housing industry in California. She is smoking a LOT of crack.
Like Ric has said many times, to a progressive money (wealth) is something that just “is.” Some people are “lucky” and find money, and others are “unlucky” and cannot find money. We are all hunter-gatherers.
Fuck Karl Rove, and the bag of fried pork rinds he rode in on.
Nice.
Not quite, Cranky. To the progressives money is something that just is, and those who have it necessarily TOOK it from those who lack it. To the progressive money is a right, but actual possession of it is a crime against humanity.
We’re there already, with Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (and the like) playing middle man.
Subsidy farming and rent seeking venture capital, it’s the wave of the future. Or the wave of the recently discredited past. We’ll see, I guess. I’m betting on discredited past.
It’s a shame that there will be no comeuppance.
Not quite, Seth. To a progressive, there is a fixed amount of money, and if someone has “too much” it means he got to it before others did. He cheated somehow. It’s a subtle difference from what you said, so subtle it might not matter. One can have “some” money, just not “too much” of it. In the end, either way we are all supposed to share the
vegetables and mammoth meatmoney.We were there already, that should be.
General rule of thumb: when you have lots of ex-government officials in fake management positions, they’re not there because they’re legends with a spreadsheet.
My first reaction, cranky, is “isn’t that what I said”…but I see what you’re getting at. Bitter clinger that I am, I guess I’m a little extreme when I make an example. Plus, it’s about quarter past whiskey.
Makes sense to me.
(Psst… Is it really Mexico you guys want to fence off? Serious question.)
The difference is between stealing the money, which would involve direct action, and hoarding the money by finding it first and not sharing, which is an indirect thing. Like I said, subtle, and it really doesn’t matter because either way we need to take from the have mores and give to the have lesses to correct the problem.
I’m still working right now, but in a while I expect I’ll be in Margaritaville.
By the way, those homeowner rules would make buying a house one of the best investment opportunities ever. When have you ever seen a case when a loss in value results in a drop in what you owe, but (I would guess) an increase in value would make you richer.
Her rules would make the housing crisis a hell of a lot worse, if you could ever get anyone to loan money under those circumstances. I would guess only a government entity could do that, because only the government can do stuff that loses money hand over fist and still stay in business (longer than a private entity could, anyway).
“Is it really Mexico you guys want to fence off? Serious question.”
federalism at it’s finest provided no fed gov’t bailout.
And then maybe implement that Lex Luther plan just to be sure.
#53,
It will be Shakespearean in effect though that is not their intent.
If it goes through, I’m going to have my brother and his wife living at my house. The stepkid(s) and in-laws and step-grandkids that are now living with them will have to stay behind in California because Georgia is nowhere near as generous with the welfare money; I’m sure the state will just buy my brother’s house at foreclosure auction and give it to them.
That won’t help my brother. Without income to pay the other bills the utility company will take out a lien on the house and then it won’t be a lender foreclosing.
Did I mention the utility company where my brother lives, is the city government?
Keep in mind, McGehee, progressives aren’t terribly bright. They have the intellectual and emotional capacity of 12-year-olds.
I think some 12-year-olds might be insulted by that remark.
I’d like to introduce this again. Which immigrant group poses a greater threat: Mexicans or Californians?
That right there is why illegal immigration sits around #10 for me rather than cracking the top #5.
Priceless, a fat fuck like Rove calling Palin “thin skinned”, Palin running a 1/2 marathon today, placing second in her age group, at a time of 1hr 46min. That time would have been Rove’s first mile, including the trip to the hospital for some oxygen.
” Which immigrant group poses a greater threat: Mexicans or Californians?”
illegal mexicans are a big problem for californians.
Hey! I have the intellectual and emotional capacity of a 12-year-old and I’m insulted by that remark!
One of the features of re-education camps was the public confession of all that thoughts and actions that went contrary to the will of the State. Behold our New Soviet Science.
Which Californians, nr? Those who are counting on those votes or those who are counting on cheap landscaping and childcare?
Or, those same Californians who are making sure that all fuel standards meet their insane ideas and force manufacturers to make shit products.
Which one costs more? Hint: they don’t speak that much Spanish.
I’d like to introduce this again. Which immigrant group poses a greater threat: Mexicans or Californians?
My take:
Mexicans/Central Americans around these parts get up very early, work their asses off in thankless jobs and pretty much keep to themselves. We don’t have barrios, though. They mostly seem to live four to a room in scattered apartments or rental houses.
Transplanted Californians pretty much suck. Their Mexicans seem to suck as well, but I’m kind of convinced it’s because they’re California Mexicans.
“Which Californians, nr?”
it ain’t the leftards
I’m from California, and I’d like to think I don’t suck.
Bigots!
@64. Indeed. The local population is about 40% Hispanic, but they hardly ever demand that we make things more like they were back in Mexico. Meanwhile the expat Californicators constantly whine about how bad things were back there, the smog, the traffic, the crime, the taxes, the meddlesome government, yada, yada, and then demand that we change things to be more like California so’s they get more stuff for nothing at someone elses’ expense and can attract more people just like them to move here.
The good news: They hardly ever stay a second winter….
Couldn’t figure out how to phrase it, cranky.
Any Cali person here I’d gladly invite to live near me. But, ya’ll are a minority. A distinct minority.
@72. Obviously you’re the exception that proves the rule cranky!
Sorry, Cranky. I’ve watched in horror as California’s faggoty-assed food and eco cult(ure) crept its way Eastward, and now, whenever I see the word sustainable or locally-sourced on a menu, I make my way to the bathroom and deliberately miss the toilet. I blame you personally for this.
It’s true that the whole sustainable thing was my idea. Sorry about that. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
You are a monster.
unsustainable is progg central modus operandee
California’s corps of Democratic politicians are more insidious than Mexican cartel leaders. Best they be contained if at all possible. The orbital option may be necessary, otherwise.
Oh, ‘sustainable’ isn’t so bad. Consider the Beer Cycle: We grow and malt the barley and brew it and you drink it. Constant supply to meet constant demand. Nothing could be more sustainable ’cause running out is unthinkable!
So drink up Shriners!
True, Swen. I just don’t want to see it on a label or menu as though the process is a virtue any more than I want to hear about the baby Jesus on a bag of Doritos.
Now, a Dorito chip that some believe looks like the baby Jesus is a different matter and it should be brought to peoples attention. Because, well, that’s a miracle right there.
Baby Jesus Doritos are even better than Cool Ranch Doritos.
That the chip wasn’t eaten already, miracle, ok, sure.
Do Baby Jesus Doritos taste like the Baby Jesus? Is transubstantiation involved?
Heh, I’m Catholic, cranky. Transubstantiation is always involved.
That’s why we’re always ringing that bell.
The full-grown Jesus, potato-style.
For dystransubstantiation’s sake, better not to show up on the surface of a Klondike Bar.
Okay, I’m growing a Van Dyke then. It’s settled.
(This feels related.)
Lots of migrants, ready to move. Will the last person leaving California please turn out the CFL.
It could be related, if generally not catching droplets of soup is your beardy object, for the chin parts of a Van Dyke are quite scant when properly maintained.
I once saw a man with a long white beard who was eating chili and had a long streak of it moving down said beard. It was oddly mesmerizing, like the plastic bag scene in American Beauty or something.
And there he is! Jesus in the chili in the beard.
In 1994 I was an expat Californian spending my first winter in Fairbanks, Alaska. Now I wish I’d never left…
…Alaska.
