Palin's TEA Party: 'Ready for revolution'

Sarah threw a tea party.

And even put out a cook book to accompany it.

A very short cook book.

One page, in fact:

"I couldn't stand the heat, so I got out of the kitchen."

Palin's speech was rambling and incoherent at times. I was surprised to hear her refer to Alaska as a beacon of hope to people of the world. I was NOT surprised to hear her say that her husband does not belong to the Republican party as he belonged to the Alaska Secessionist Party at one time.

Is that "revolution" as in "spin" or "rotate?"

Or "revolution" as in ""revolting" or "disgusting?"

Ronald Reagan would have nothing to do with Sarah Palin or this group as he would never or would ever want to pass their "purity" test.

The Party of Scott Brown is............substanceless

I have no fear of Palin, my mailman, my dog or the cashier at 7-11 becoming president in 2012. No one could be worse than Obama. No one. Obama is the most corrupt, deceitful and incompetent president in modern history.

Really Derrick? Where were you when W was in office? Asleep for 8 years?

Sarah Palin knocked the pins out from under president panty waist and exposed him for what he really is....another lying, deceitful democrat politician.
Now, we can see why the democrats are so fearful of her and want to tear her down 24/7.

Paulo

Derrick,

I think you should start a "Derrick '12" exploratory committee for President.

From your remarks I can well imagine you are a tall, clean white boy who can put this Obama in his place.

Have you taken any public speaking classes?

How are you at speaking off-TelePrompTer?

Have you had any upset victories in any prior federal elections?

Have you been a professor anywhere?

Well, no matter. As a clean articulate white boy I'm sure you'll do just fine and I look forward to seeing how your exploratory committee is coming along.

Tea Party Groups and People are in Everytown, USA now....if you havent seen them in your town then you havent been looking. Obama has done more to Unite a People than any single person or issue, ever. Thank You Sir---I am now a committed Tea Party member.

I read through the blogs and the left is still fearful of Palin. You guys are so lame! She doesn't know everything, but I'm postitive, she knows how to budget. Every woman except perhaps Michelle Obama with her 19 paid ladies in waiting knows how to budget. It is time that America woke up. The spending is out of control and Obama has made it worse. In 2006, the Dem Congress could have cut spending but they did nothing except jump on board and spend more. The time is ripe for a revolution and the independents have control and need to take control and get rid of all of these people from local, state, and federal govt. Bring it back to the people where it began. We are ready Sarah!

Sorry again what is wrong with having an educated person leading our nation?

There are many out there that think the Tea Party is some right-wing kook movement and perhaps that ill-planned convention had its' morons that tried to profit off it -

but -

there is a real movement out there with many committed people of all stripes and political affiliations. As an Independent who has long thought my vote was taken for granted - I believe people are fed up with the state of politics as we know it.

I would not count out the true grass-root movements springing up all around the country. I would start taking them seriously because it is not the fiasco of the Nashville convention or surprise surprise the FOX network.

The anger is building along true bi-partisan cooperation in many places - just watch come November!

Derrick, how about Nixon? Andrew Jackson?

Hey Sarah, a Commander in Chief leads and COMMANDS, not quit.

@Derrick: The MOST incompetent, corrupt and deceitful president, EVER? Were you paying any attention to the television/news between 2000 and 2008?

Everyone should check out HBO's series "John Adams". It is out on DVD and probably available at the local library. It is a WONDERFUL look into the timeperiod of the original tea party. All of us should understand the principles that this country was founded on - it would provide great guidance for our times!

I LOVE Sarah Palin. I wish her and Newt would run on a ticket and WIN.

Palin is right, Obama-Pelosi-Reid need to go away!!!! The TEA Party movements are getting bigger. People are getting more than tired of the way things are going in the United States!! Obama-Pelosi and Reid don't care what the people think, and will never make things better. They only care about them selves, and have no idea how to even begin fixing the problems. Palin is actually listening to what people have to say, thats the kind of president we need! Palin could make a difference!

Sarah, the best thing you could do for our country is run for President.

It appears to me this blog is only interested in comments supporting its' viewpoint and will not post a reasonable argument for the Tea Party Movement - eventhough it does not fully support the Fiasco in Nashville.

It is a shame when there can't be a two-way dialogue because of a blog owners narrow bias.

Unfortunately that is why most people distrust mainstream media; any argument made to oppose a misconception that they themselves perpetuate.

Very distasteful and un-American

ornery said about Palin:
"I couldn't stand the heat, so I got out of the kitchen."
Yeah, sort of like our current commander in chief, who abandoned the voters of Illinois after promising he would finish out his Senate term. Leaving a state that is suffering from severe financial mismangement and political corruption.

Rambling huh? Well I didn't notice a TELEPROMPTER! She spoke from her heart, she didn't read from a script!

What an idiot. And she thinks she could be president? Fortunately only a smalll number of people are in the Tea Bag movement so I don't worry about them. But talk about the blind leading the blind.

Oh Derrick...dramatic much? Obama is already greatly improved over his immediate predecessor, and is probably better than a few other presidents as well. You have absolutely no substance or fact to back up your assertion that he's the worst ever. You're just parroting the GOP/Tea Party line.

Derrick, you're thinking of George W. Bush.

Palin who? Palin is for Palin. Not the poor, not the rich or even 'Joe.' She's sick. She will burst, like an over inflated ego-manic balloon. I just hope it is sooner than later!

If she wanted a revolution, she should have gone with Ron Paul instead of Mc Shame.

Wow! a "Teabag" Party in the "Gaylord" hotel! These aren't your momma's Republicans!!!

Wow! Attack literacy! We don't need anymore rednecks as well! Didn't we just sludge through one lummox already?

I have no fear of Palin, my mailman, my dog or the cashier at 7-11 becoming president in 2012. No one could be worse than Obama. No one. Obama is the most corrupt, deceitful and incompetent president in modern history.

Really? Did you forget about George Bush and "weapons of mass destruction"? Did we find them? Or, did you forget about turning a surplus into a huge deficit? Forget about healthcare reform, did you see the $500 billion a year government expansion of Medicare with the prescription drug plan? Or the huge government expansion of the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Education? Where were the teabaggers then (All Republicans voted for these)?

Will she quit the presidency if the job gets too tough?

Snif, snif? I smell new money?

This is great! Kick out the moderates and go farther to the right? No independents like myself will vote for these candidates! The Massachusetts Senator won because he was a moderate, not a strong conservative. And, the idea that you would hold up money if they don't go far to the right? This will backfire, specially during a general election. The country is always going towards the middle.

Where did all the grown-ups go? They're not here, that's for sure:
http://www.newsweek.com/id/232451

Come on, Derrick. Name calling accomplishes nothing, and even your dog could tell you President Obama is extremely intelligent. Congress isn't exactly doing anyone any favors lately with all this will they / won't they filibuster nonsense. At this point, I'd vote for President Obama again, and I don't care who knows it. But I do think Mr. President ought to start throwing his weight around a bit more, and stop being so nice to people who don't show him any respect.

Sarah Palin is not a suitable replacement.

Tea Parties? Gimme a break... Sounds like a confab of right wing "nut jobs" to me. Get over it, you LOST! Try again in three years at the polls, and cool it with these asinine antics.

The previous 8 years, we had someone who knew nothing about the law or the constitution.

The "law professor", as she calls him, has been quite refreshing. No more mindless rushing off to judgments with out a brain of thought first.

Palin and these "tea baggers" would set our nation back to the stone ages.

Free market and capitalism is not what the founding fathers had in mind regardng business.

We lost our way as a nation when we stopped making things. We are best as a "manufacturing economy" not a "market economy" or "service economy".

The stock market is the worst thing that ever happened to the world economy. It allows people to believe they can just make "money from money". Without work.

Now, most of our money is tied up in foreign firms who make the products we purchse. That is a major problem.

I agree with Fed up Rep. Ronald Reagan most likely rolled over in his grave last night after hearing Sarah Palin refer to him. Actually, any previous president would after hearing her rambling speech which was nothing more than same old GOP talking points that don't offer anything really new. I thought it was interesting too that she really looked so nervous at the beginning of her speech. People generally do when they make stuff up. I did a fact check on her "facts" and, well, not enough room here to comment on that.

All of the negative comments about President Obama and his administration sound familiar - oh ya, the majority of Americans were saying the same thing about GW Bush and his cronies over their 8 years of destruction of all that was good in the USA. As for Palin, Americans did vote in a Commander in Chief, not a failed beauty queen who couldn't finish her term as a simple governor.

I love liberals who espouse free speech, as long as it doesn't conflict with their views. Hey liberals, we are taking back the House and Senate, then the White House next. The spirit of Ronald Reagan lives on.

We had a revolution with the Bush&Cheney Gang. They revolted us, by their incompetence, their malfeasance and their complicity, in the over-haul of our economy !! Why don't you, Republican-Libertarians, give us a break from your revolting ways. Why not go home, take out your history books and learn, what it means to be a true American, not a toy one !! Your ignorance is only out-distanced by your phoniness !!
Come, join the Obama Revolution. At it's core, it revolves around the words, "..with liberty and justice for all." Now, that is truly a revolutionary idea, even into the 21st century. You would think we would have gotten it by now !!! Unfortunately, greed, hate and the Corpos got in the way. Let's join President Obama and Vice-President Biden and re-ignite that guiding light, captured in those six little words. Can you imagine, how great this good nation would become ?!! Come on, Republican-Libertarians, start thinking for yourselves. Don't be hoodwinked by these snake-oil salespeople, these cons, these phonies. They are making tons of money off of your inability to think for yourselves, your allowing them to lead you around like sheeple. Stand up, on your hind-legs, stand up for a fair and true America. You may find it to be a very liberating assertion !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Now maybe all you guys can go back in your rooms,lay on your beds and stare at the obama posters on the walls !

Have I missed the idea's they have put forth? Complaining? That's the easy part. Palin calls for divine intervention......great...we'll just pray for change.

Palin may have stumbled a bit in her speech, and misspoke saying Alaska instead of America at one point. I'm not ready to give her the keys to the White House, but I do support what she said. I think the left's personal attacks against Palin will only add to her following. Remember what people thought of Regan before he was president. Today, he's up there with Washington and Lincoln.

Lots of criticism spouted at the National TEA Party Corp. convention, a lot of self-righteous posturing but no real suggestions offered on just exactly how we're going to go back to the foundation/hard work and responsibility palin spoke of. Maybe she'll tell us all that in her next speech as she follows the money from state to state, you betcha.

Another idiot to FOX, Ifelt sorry for her and how the political hacks used her but I see she is cut from the same cloth.

As far as comments about our President, I think the author mis-spelled the name it should be Bush! I am an independent but those people wanting someone to correct the crap that the former hacks did in nine years and want it corrected in one year boggles my mind. Face reality.

Ronald Reagan rolls over in his grave every time this hack evokes his name.

Listening to her is like trying to chew cotton candy. Remember, she resigned after only two years in office. Now that is hard work and commitment!

There's atleast 1000 Idiots in Tennessee................"GaylordOpryland"? I thought they were against that kind of thing???

PALIN IS WAY OVER-RATED, AND FRANKLY NOT THAT BRIGHT. HOW'S THAT FOR BIPARTISANSHIP?

What does a suspect talking after giving him his Miranda rights have anything to do with this story? (other that to try to soften the errors of those who decided to read a terrorist his rights).

As a "journalist" you have failed to be objective in this case. Talk to anyone in law enforcement and you will see that it was an error only bailed out by having his parents come talk to him (the same parents who tipped us off to him, only to have us ignore them). I suppose you think we should mirandize all enemy combatants and then seek out their parents to talk sense into them?

What was your intent with your parenthetical comments in this story? Fess up..

Am I the only person who finds Palin's voice equal to nails across a blackboad? The TeaParty is a good start but why hitch your wagon to a tax evader? Palin is a misfit at best and if we are to right this ship, we need leaders with vision and courage.

dumb as a bag of nails, and those who believe in her are just as dumb. She could not pass a fifth grade American history test, yet has a best seller in order to raise enough money to stay in the spotlight. She could not stand three minutes in a debate with Obama. Oh, I wrote in Ron Paul by the way.
Three in the morning, she's giving it up to her old man, the red phone rings and he says, "pleeeeease don't answer that phone yet baby...."

Workin man, she was reading from a script all right. And as for the Miranda issue, she is the one who brought it up.

Gene, I've got a news flash for you.

As one of Obama's original constituents as State Senator.

Illinois voters could not approve more highly of his ascent to the Presidency.

We love him where he is now.

The mistake Palin and the Tea Partiers are making is that American don't want the style of politics they are selling. Christie and McDonnell and Brown won be3cause they ran to the middle and cut off the Tea Party element in their races, winning on jobs and the economy. Remember "Bob's For Jobs"? This speech proves Palin's knows absolutely nothing about "real Americans" or politics in general.

http://www.political-buzz.com/

But seriously:

Go to the DSM-IV and look up Histrionic Personality Disorder.

You can find behavior by Miss Sarah which fits each and every marker in the diagnosis for that one like a glove.

Including rambling, vague and impressionistic speech.

As far as impulsive behavior, a nice example is that stunning "Farewell My Lovely" speech she gave when she quit as Guv. of AK.

Find it on YouToob and listen closely. Example both of vague, impressionistic and grandiose speech patterns AND impulsiveness. A TWO-FER.

Also turn up the volume on that one and hear her hyperventilate.

The only difference between the Teabaggers and the John Birchers of olden days: Teabaggers are just beginning to explore their inner fascist and Birchers were full-blown.

I betcha the tea came from India or China, I betcha!

Palin was firing on all cylinders last night. No wonder the libs hate her so much...she is more principled than Obumbles could ever hope to be.

Now, we can see why the democrats are so fearful of her and want to tear her down 24/7.

=========================
Good to see pillow back with his insane fantasies. This, I remind you, is the the same fantasist that insisted that the economy was in great shape back in the middle of '08, and that 90% of Americans were able to pay their mortgages. I guess bible spice has to worry a lot if folks like pillow endorse her.

Democrats and people on the "left" are not fearful of Palin . They are mesmerized . It's like when you are driving down the road and see a tragic accident . You can't just look away .
Hope she runs for office . It'll be the final nail in the coffin of the republican and tea partys .

As a born and bred New Englander raised on Revolutionary War history, I'm deeply offended by the use of "Tea Party" to describe this movement.

The original Tea Party was held to protest taxation of the colonies without their having representation in the monarchy of King George.

Ironically it seems most new "Tea Party" members espouse the free market and trickle down economic theories that have decimated our public and private wealth for all but a small percentage of the population.

They also support the recent decision by the Supreme Court legalizing the sale of the U.S to the highest bidder.

Now only corporations (including those owned and operated by other countries) will have representation in our government. I'm not naive enough to think this hasn't been the case for most elected officials since the Regan era, however there are still some members of Congress who seem to actually represent those who voted for them and not just those who paid for them - Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinch come to mind.

The values of John and Samuel Adams, Dr. Joseph Warren, Paul Revere, Robert Treat Paine and the many others who worked to found our nation are not represented by the actions of this new breed of "patriot".

This time it's not the tea that needs to be dumped, it's the party-goers.

It is funny what liberals say and do once you mention Palin or The Tea Party. Their racism, elitism, hatred, and bigotry all come to the surface.

And Republicans say Obama is the liberals' Messiah. If there's one thing the right wing can teach us, other than moral duplicity ("It's only wrong when 'they' do it"), it's unabashed hero worship. Ronald Reagan is God, and Sarah Palin the next Virgin Mary.

The Tea Party Revolution: Leading the country forward into yesterday!

Tea Parties? Gimme a break... Sounds like a confab of right wing "nut jobs" to me. Get over it, you LOST! Try again in three years at the polls, and cool it with these asinine antics.

Name calling accomplishes nothing, and even your dog could tell you President Obama is extremely intelligent.

Anne: You must be referencing our fine and nobel Presidents' recent articulation of the duties and heroics of our fine corpse-man who serve us around the world, that would also include our 57 states Anne.

I appreciate that palin let us know so ahead of time that she could run for president. She's giving all of us, fans or not, plenty of time to evaluate, from a presidential candidate viewpoint, just where her real focus rests and the true breadth of her intelligence.

Her handlers can't keep her in check 100% of the time. She'll come out with it sooner or later and manage to shoot herself in the foot again, and again, i.e., north and south Korea, etc.

I'd never thought of her as a histrionic personality, Ornery. How interesting. I had a sister-in-law diagnosed with that. She's no longer my sister-in-law, for which I am grateful.

Hey, how about Palin for president and Michele Bachmann(Sen.-mars)for vice president? yeah!

Before the TEA Party movement can be taken seriously, they need to answer these questions: Where was the TEA Party movement only fourteen months ago--when so many jobs were lost, when banks were all failing at the same time--in the same way--when republican president W. Bush was forming TARP--and, during the entire eight years when Bush and fellow republican VP Dick Cheney had been spending the nation's taxpayer money--and futures--like self-righteous, drunken sailors? Really. Where were the all-American patriot TEAbaggers then? Why did they get fed up with 'Washington' only AFTER Obama was in office? Why so slow on the uptake? Slow--or disingenuous?
*
Did Palin mention any reason for not paying her taxes on two of her properties? Not paying taxes is not being patriotic. It forces others to pay more. Too many politicians, political appointees and national nothings think they are above the IRS, the law--and above the average, good citizen.

Vivian 14 months ago unemployment was under 8%. In last year was the largest group of banks going under sense the Great Depression. And of the $700 billion in Bush's TRAP program 500 billion has been returned. The other $200 billion went to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and AIG and will never come back. Which brings up another point that is a matter of public record, the lies being told by Obama and the liberals in Congress about last year's deficit. What they do not point out (but, the CBO does) the $500 billion that was returned and lowered Bush's deficit to $700 billion. The figures now show that in a little under one years time team Obama spent $600 billion and none is coming back. And you loony liberals can keep believing your propaganda but just as a reminder remember you are only 1/5 of the voting population. And if the polls show the majority of the voters are seeing team Obama for what it is. The midterms are going to be fun. And here is a history lesson; what did the Kansas Nebraska act cause? It's a two-part answer.

Bush 'traded' all our jobs away--unemployment followed--then lack of health insurance followed that for millions. Bush winked, and didn't look after the crooked buddy bankers' banks nor the crooked mortgage lenders--millions of lost homes followed--and our treasury was looted and sent overseas to bankers there, too.
*
Bush had disdain and zero interest in domestic policy, and zero concern for the average American--funny since Bush is SO below average. The only way Bush could have been president was to be a trumped-up, foreign policy "war" president.
*
You think a Dem stepped inside the WH and all hell came crashing down so fast based on HIS policies in action for only a short time? Putting things in the pipeline takes a bit longer. Bush and Cheney set everything up for failure. The pipeline was jammed. The more failure and chaos--the more the worried voters run for security and military solutions. Domestic needs--Dem stuff--life--health--the individual--then continue to get ignored.
*
Funny how we were told by Paulson and Bush that the situation would be "dire" without the no-strings TARP soon after the elections---when everyone knew Obama would be in office. It was pretty obvious. Way to throw a huge wrench into a new president's agenda. Duh. Who needs the quiz now, Crook_in_DC?
*
Looney liberal? You really don't know how to categorize others. Crook--you can't keep other's planks straight over time.

1000 people? That's it? Everybody is worried about a group who had their "National" convention, and a thousand people show up? Palin has proven the old adage that "you can fool some of the people all the time" and that it can be very profitable as well. She is not running for anything, but she won't rule it out until she has to because it keeps her name in the news and that translates to $$$. Can't wait to see who she "donates" the 100k to.
