She was relaxed, but spunky. She was real. She was armed with stats. She was unapologetic about her convictions. She was tough on President Obama’s agenda. She was fed up with the status quo. She was “sick and tired of the games that are being played in Washington, D.C., because we’re talking about our money, we’re talking about our kids’ future, we’re talking about our republic and the solvency of our republic.” She was willing to laugh at herself. She was confident about her experience.

I watched the video - she was fantastic. And the interviewer asked some very good, intelligent questions. I think even he was impressed.
The Saracuda takes another one by storm...
That trumps the media every time.
That’s my understanding to Sarah did great.
Their are a handful of us Freepers who are still on dial up and videos are rather hard to watch. It a speed thing.
This article was a good roundup to add to the rest of the stories from the event. Get the whole picture type of thing.
Anybody that takes the time to read and listen to Sarah is impressed (or blind, deaf, and dumb!). She is head and shoulders above the rest of the pack.
Pray for America.
Pray for the Palins.
Pass the ammunition...
Elect Sarah Palin for President 2012
Re-Elect President Sarah Palin 2016
Have you noticed that they only every apply the adjective “spunky” to women, children, and old people?
The interviewer was actually a democrat.
Does this article mean Pissant is going to cancel his Human Events subscription?
more from the article:
“As to raising the debt ceiling, Palin asserted, “To me, all that’s going to do is create this allowance for more big spenders to get in there and say, ‘More debt ceiling? Okay, we’re going to keep spending then, up to that ceiling.’ ” She added that “tone-deaf politicians—they’re going to be fired and they’re going to be replaced in the next election cycle if they don’t listen this time.”
Palin paid tribute to the Tea Party, stating, “This rising up of the Tea Party movement has been refreshing. It’s been inspiring. Best thing about it? It’s forced both parties to rethink the way that they do business. And that’s a good thing for both machines. Both machines need some shaking up.”
She affirmed the need for “some reform in our existing health care system, but it needs to be market-oriented and patient-centered.” With respect to ObamaCare, she stated, “We wanted practical reforms, and yet that isn’t where the government took us … the whole ObamaCare process left people so disillusioned and disenchanted, and really disenfranchised from their government.”
Palin referred to Alaska as the “Fort Knox of America” when it comes to energy supply, adding, “Those foreign regimes can use energy as a weapon against us. Potential energy crisis in our future and the national debt—these are the things that will drive America to her knees if we don’t turn things around and get back on the right track.”
She referred to a birthday gift received this month from her mom, a Reader’s Digest from February 1964 that she said contains an article “about the fallacy of presenting a budget without cutting government spending, the fallacy as it leads to deficit spending, and what deficits do to a country.”
She emphasized her time reining in spending as governor and the tax cuts she implemented as mayor “in order to send that message to say, business, we want you in town. We want you to come here. We don’t want to outsource opportunities.” Palin added, “And the manifestation of the results there ended up in our area being the fastest-growing area of the state.”
I’m on satellite and it took forever for the download, but it was worth the wait. When the interviewer asked why she did not do more of these type of venues, she said it’s a long way from Alaska. Then she went on to say any reporter could come visit her. It was hilarious when she said she put’s visitors through the paces to see how they react to adverse conditions. I just love her!
I don’t know and I don’t care.
That was a good article. Does anyone have a link to the video at this event?
Here us the link to the video; its worth watching the whole hour - its quite refreshing to hear an honest conversation
