By Sarah Palin Tuesday, July 14, 2009 There is no shortage of threats to our economy. America's unemployment rate recently hit its highest mark in more than 25 years and is expected to continue climbing. Worries are widespread that even when the economy finally rebounds, the recovery won't bring jobs. Our nation's debt is unsustainable, and the federal government's reach into the private sector is unprecedented. Unfortunately, many in the national media would rather focus on the personality-driven political gossip of the day than on the gravity of these challenges.

Ladies and Gentleman, it’s on.
Right on the mark! You go girl. You’ve got my support.

Way to Go Sarah ,Hit them right between the eyes ! I love it
Liberalism is where Stupidity & Evil meet!
And at the end, she says:
Yes, we can. Just not with Barack Obama's energy cap-and-tax plan.
I like how's she's co-opting the Rats' favorite slogans and using them against Obama.
Barracuda indeed!
LOLOLOL.
Well, given that the Porkulus is creating jobs at a rate of $8,230,000 per job, $4.2 Billion is good for about 510 jobs.
Yeah, that'll cover it!
Dear Governor Palin,
Keep it up. Those that matter don’t listen to the MSM. We don’t buy into the cap&tax scheme; We believe in lower taxes across the board; We believe in locating our own energy sources, drilling for it and supplying it to U.S. And, if the rest of the world needs some of it let them buy it from us (for a small phenomenal fee of course).
I just wish we could do more to get them off your back. Unfortunately, they will not relent no matter what we do, or say. Theirs is the policy of destruction of anything or anyone that does not fit their way of thinking.
So, keep going. Until you prove otherwise, you are the brightest light bulb in the pack.
Holy wow! Is that our Sarah in the Washington Post? :)
Around 90 percent of the comments are reactive Palin bashing, devoid of substance or reason.
She’s so inarticulate, unlike Peggy Noonan. And she’s so devoid of ideas, unlike Peggy Noonan.
She is my Leader
“She is my Leader”
For now, yes. As I said, until she proves otherwise.
It’s kind of like watching a horror movie. Everything is fine, then all of a sudden, something jumps out at you (ref. Sanford).
It’s getting to the point where they are all guilty until proven innocent.
All the angry liberal weenies are rushing to respond as I write. She is going to drive the Beltway crowd insane.
I read some of the comments there. Not an intelligent comeback from a one of ‘em. Libtards on parade.

Waxbag~Malarkey Carbon Cap Tax & Scam Ping ~ (POGW)
Sarah Palin means business. Now the liberals and mediocre-minded Krauthammers of the world will be forced to discuss matters of substance.
Not that they will have the courage or the intellect to actually take the opportunity.
Ridicule has turned on them. They ridicule themselves in refusing to engage debate on real issues, instead chaining themselves to personal attacks, twisted lies, platitudes, vague comments about Palin having to “go home and study,” and most laughable of all installing the intellectual giant Levi Johnston as their spokesperson and sage. Truly, Johnston perfectly represents the intellectual status of contemporary liberals.
* Factual
* Insightful
* To the point
* Without hyperbole
"ha-ha-ha, I can't believe she actually mentions
God when the subject is energy!"
"She doesn't even mention a second stimulus package.
Which I am all for...as long as there are some tax cuts!"
"I can't believe she didn't fit her hero, Reagan, in there somewhere!
Hey guys, my hair look ok?"
It is very obvious from the comments on the “Compost” site that she's doing just that! The vile comments are a real indication of the fear they have of Gov. Palin. Crap and Tax is a loser proposition from a loser administration. Who in their right mind would intentionally make all goods and services more expensive while simultaneously driving good paying jobs overseas during the midst of a severe recession!? To say that this is good public policy is nothing short of criminal.
Whether she runs or not, I’ve got my “Sarah 2012” bumper stickers from Jeff Head on my cars and am poking that finger in the Socialist eyes around Charlotte, NC. You should see some of the responses of of these free cheese eating, government teat sucking, liberal weenies!
From what I have read in this letter Sarah has actually read the bill, which is more than our Senators and Congressmen who will vote for or against it have done.
America’s elite Left realizes its worst nightmare.
Huh?
DId you miss your /sarc tag?
“The Lord works in mysterious ways”! LOL!
The media, RATS, and left have given her such a high profile that now when she speaks, it’s though a megaphone on every front page. They are getting hoisted on their own petard! What suckers!
It was there, in invisible electronic ink.
If she wants to be on the national stage then she should stop mentioning Alaska every time she talks.
Good. She needs to focus on economic issues to reach the middle ground of swing voters, and she does it well here.
She doesn't mention that cap and trade is a huge benefit to Alaska and the pipeline. Or that the final legislation will contain very significant increases in the federal loan guarantees to build the pipeline.
Most Palin bashing is going to come from the Left, therefore we should all expect those comments to be devoid of substance or reason. The Left is all about emotion, not rational thought and analysis.
Indeed.
What is amazing is the number of libs who have taken the time to comment on this article by a "quitter" who has "no chance in 2012" and is "washed up politically". I count the comments to be over 700. The words and actions of the elitist left simply do not match up. In fact they are worried out of their wits about Our Gal Sarah.
What are you talking about? Her article seemed pretty clear and to the point to me.
I didn’t think it was necessary.
And if Zero wants to be on the international stage, he's going to have to sing some song other than me,me,me,me.
Go, Sarah!
The gauntlet?
“We have an important choice to make. Do we want to control our energy supply and its environmental impact? Or, do we want to outsource it to China, Russia and Saudi Arabia? Make no mistake: President Obama’s plan will result in the latter.”
Sarah nails it.
Palin/Nugent 2012
It’s time to take back the country.
This is what I extracted from her resignation talk. I was not alone cause some woman called in to a talk show (Pags sub for Rush?) last week and I cheered when I heard her. MSM missed this. We need a voice agin crap and tax. She may not be a meteorologist or an economist or a geologist but fewof us are, She has a VOICE.
It appears you could be referring to the sort of false promises and formalized bribery found in most congressional legislation. This time it’s a death sentence sloppily packaged to look like something good for everyone.
If you don’t understand the maliciousness and trickery of Statism, start paying attention.
Cap and tax is a poison arrow aimed at the heart of all that is productive in society. It is inspired by the philosophy dictating that the chemical process which uses carbon and oxygen to produce usable energy plus carbon dioxide is somehow evil. Your own body does basically the same thing, by the way.
Yep, while Mr. Ambition himself, Mitt Romney, supposedly likewise has credibility on business, where exactly has he been in the debate and in going after Obamaconomics?
Muted and measured and all holding back for the good of his next campaign is where he’s been. The irony of Palin’s opponents calling her a quitter is enormous.
Palin speaks with credibility and honor as there’s no doubt she’s speaking honestly to her core values. This is something these libtards can’t recognize, it’s completely foreign.
If Palin’s new role (at least short term) is to leverage the strength of her visibility and popularity to be the voice of the opposition party, she has the guts and integrity to do it right.
Cap and Trade would be a total disaster for Alaska.
And Federal loan guarantees are like guarantees from Loan Sharks.
At this moment she is the Governor of Alaska.
I was going to suggest you put that in your tagline, but,
big bold and blue is better, eh?
As is going to be the case from here on out.
There will be no substantive argument out of the left, concerning the concepts put forth.
In their arrogance, it is self-evident that they are superior, and that no one else need be given any consideration.
“devoid” -
I don’t think that word means what you think it means...
‘...Muted and measured...’ I think that’s precisely the problem. After getting more than one hard check into the boards, I don’t see anyone on the Conserviate or GOP ticket willing to really take off the gloves and fight.
If the GOP were to visit the local rental store they could pick up some useful things (a backbone, guts, etc.). Things that I think Mrs. Palin already owns.
And are they STILL wondering why she resigned as Gov of Alaska and what her future plans are?
“And if Zero wants to be on the international stage, he’s going to have to sing some song other than me,me,me,me.”
Thats what Marxists always do so why would he change.
While I like Sarah, Jesus is my God and the only one I follow blindly. If she wants to engage more independents then she needs to talk on a national basis, not just Alaska.
I live in Florida, I care more about Florida than I do Alaska.
