Palin back with a bang: Sarah eyeing Republican nomination

Conservative Sarah Palin returned to the U.S. political arena on Saturday after several months absence with a feisty speech attacking both the establishment Republican Party and Democratic President Barack Obama and proclaiming "the 2012 elections begin here."

In a move apparently aimed at keeping her name in the running for the Republican nomination in next year's presidential election, Palin addressed several thousand people in Wisconsin, a state bitterly divided by a political fight over union rights.

Palin has been mostly absent from politics since the January shooting of U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords in Arizona, when she was criticized for accusing opponents of manufacturing a "blood libel" against her.

As snow and sleet fell on Madison's main square, Palin attacked the budget compromise between Republicans and Obama on cuts of around $38 billion instead of $100 billion promised in elections last November.

"That is not courage, that is capitulation," she said...

In a way, I shop at Walmart.

You want to put America first, elect a new president and primary any RINO that exists, and lets fix our own regulations and insane laws like ObamaCare that make people have no interest in starting or building businesses.

And, lets stop them driving the last of industry out of this country by raising Corporate taxes to the highest in the world, beating finally Japan. (Currently we are number 2) Yea. Not a win we need. You can't win the trade thing by raising prices in the US by artificially elevating foreign prices. But, let Obama and company go just a few months more and you will get your wishes anyway.. because US Currency will be worth jack. And we will have to make our own or do without.

Please get a clue.

I have a clue.

China is defeating America. We are helping them do so. We are in fact, surrendering.

Wake up.

Yeah, but she has to be elected first which requires overcoming the hurdles to which I referred.

Making a speach [sic], not going to run.

If she didn't tell you that herself, YOU DON'T KNOW.

Sarah is another insider who won’t rock the establishment boat?

The dumbest post of the day came early today. You’re preaching on the wrong street.

If you compare Sarah to donald on yesterdays remarks, look who is really taking the fight to bo! Sarah will crush them all because she projects the “Spirit of America” like no one else.

There's a difference between free trade and fair trade. Try importing a vehicle into Japan or, better yet, South Korea. It will cost you about a grand and take a month in Japan and is virtually impossible in South Korea.

We don't import much from India except workers. Six of the ten companies with the most H1B visa workers are Indian-owned.

“...she hit all the right points, without a teleprompter yet, just from notes.”

Oh, but did she write three words on her palm? BO reads every word from TWO teleprompters, but the evil media made hay out of her having THREE words on her palm. They are disgusting.

The Dinosaur Leftist Media still reaches 20 million viewers? Rush Limbaugh gets that many listeners in week!

If ABC, CBS, NBC can only garner only 6.7% of the population then they don’t have far to go before they are finished.

Should she be elected as President, do you think that she will quit in the middle of her term as she did when Governor?

Notice that this piece of liberal propaganda gratuitously mentions the shooting of Gabby Giffords not just once, but TWO times? Sarah Palin had absolutely no connection to the shooting whatsoever, and the shooting has no connection to the speech Palin delivered in Madison, but the lib media continues to push that meme.

Evil bastards.

Self-Correction: The “Back with a bang” zinger in the headline gives this hit piece THREE gratuitous references to the Giffords shooting.
