you do realize, people of america, that is not Obamas fault nor is it Bush's fault! Your country has for YEARS (60+) been investing in the most unsustainable life style; the suburb. all of your transportation needs are by individual auto, the pipeline lengths needed, telephone wires, roads being put down, and you're all spread out! a civilization is about people coming together, learning not how to step on others feet all the meanwhile expecting not to be trampled upon. but americans dont know how to live with other people, both mentally and physically. it is the suburban dream is that is bankrupting you...if it wasnt bush spending all of the budget surplus, and then some, it would have been someone else down the line....the problem started in late 1940s and is inherent in your system. please look into this, you'll see the validity in this argument. here in canada things arent so bad, but a sizable number of people have transitioned to the suburban existence. i am not "anti" suburb - but as a fiscally aware individual i would not invest any savings in that industry/life style choice/etc. small, compact, clean, efficient: this is what is sustainable. so yes, palin is right in some ways: the country is fucked and ripe for a revolution. moral stances may play a part, but it is equally your economic unsustainability that is bring on social unrest. its a shame. so much potential, lost to the suburban dream, never to be given the chance to excel again

True America needs a revolution...a change to what the founding fathers envisioned for the US...something Ron Paul stands for and Palin does not. She is so dumb its amazing...somebody should translate Pauls thoughts on governement into dummy english so Palin can read what a true libertarian stands for.

Sarah Palin: It's Not Too Late to Jump In

'I'm not there yet with the field as it stands,' she grouses

(NEWSER) - She's baaaack ... maybe. With the GOP line-up still creaky, Sarah Palin let slip on the Fox Business Network that it's "not too late for folks to jump in. Who knows what might happen in the future?" Or so she mused last night when asked on Follow the Money if she might make a late entrance. The tease didn't lead to any specifics. Palin announced in October she would not seek the nomination but that could change. When she was quizzed over the weekend about whom she would endorse, she didn't have an answer, notes the New York Times. “I am just not there yet with the field as it stands,” she responded, adding more sauce to the tantalizing mystery.

Ann Coulter: Palin Is 'the Obama of the Tea Party'

And she should 'just run so we can get this over with'

(NEWSER) - Ann Coulter is the latest pundit to jump into the “will she or won’t she?” discussion about Sarah Palin’s potential presidential run, and she has a message for Palin: “Fish or cut bait, because you are ginning up this group of Americans who will not even consider anyone else,” namely the Tea Party, Coulter said last night on the O’Reilly Factor. “We used to all love Sarah Palin—conservatives like me—for her enemies. I’m starting to dislike her because of her fans.” More»

Palin Thrills Wet Tea Party Crowd in Iowa

But keeps mum about presidential ambitions

(NEWSER) - Sarah Palin kept her presidential ambitions under wraps today in a 40-minute speech to thousands of very wet Iowans who had diligently waited for her in steady rain, the Des Moines Register reports. "We’re here because America is at a tipping point," Palin said at the Des Moines Tea Party rally, and told them the nation's crisis was worse than "a Midwest summer storm" that eventually "moves on." Later she told a reporter that she's happy with the current GOP slate but thought "there's room for more." More»

Palin Back In, O'Donnell Out at Iowa Tea Party Event

Looks like Sarah won this round

(NEWSER) - Christine O’Donnell may not be a witch, but she's got to be feeling like a yo-yo: After being invited, then uninvited , then re-invited to speak at an Iowa Tea Party event Saturday, the onetime Senate candidate is officially off the roster—and Sarah Palin is back on. Palin had put her appearance “on hold” after O’Donnell’s re-invitation, ominously citing the Tea Party's "continual lying." Apparently, O’Donnell herself contacted the event’s co-organizer when this whole thing started, to say that Palin wanted her to speak. But in actuality, the two had not spoken recently and Palin wasn't happy with the “misrepresentation,” a source tells the Los Angeles Times . More»
