Sarah Palin likes Las Vegas, free enterprise and shopping centers.
She dislikes the Gulf oil spill, East Coast elites and big government.
“You understand the opportunities that we have here, especially in America,” she said during a speech Sunday at the Las Vegas Convention Center. “Let me ask you, do you love your freedom that you have here in America? Well, so do I.”
The former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate was the featured speaker for the International Council of Shopping Centers convention. The convention was part of RECon 2010, the world’s largest gathering of real estate professionals.
Palin was expected to talk about leadership, but the speech was heavy on national politics and personal anecdotes. About 400 people attended the event.
Palin said an airline lost her luggage as she was flying from Alaska to Idaho for a Saturday speaking engagement. She said she was able to get new clothes, however, thanks to a local mall.
“What would our communities be without our shopping centers?” she asked. “Meeting our needs is what it is that you do.”
A free-market economy in which business owners have control over their destinies is best for everyone, Palin said several times during the nearly 40-minute speech. Other topics included so-called “Obamacare,” business taxes, oil and shopping.
Palin said Las Vegas is a portrait of the American entrepreneurial spirit. Just as Las Vegas was built in a barren desert, she said, small business owners know what it is like to make “something out of nothing.”
“I think that every politician who wants to run for office should have run a business before,” she said.
The crowd cheered. “You are the backbone of our nation’s economy,” she said.
Palin said she and her husband, Todd, enjoy coming to Las Vegas. Palin said she disagreed with a controversial statement President Barack Obama made last year about spending money in Las Vegas. Tourism should be encouraged, she said, because it bolsters the local economy.
“I was so proud of the good, noble mayor here, Mayor Goodman, who dared take on anyone who suggested Vegas wasn’t a good place to be,” she said. “I thought, man, he sounds like he’s goin’ rogue. He took on the president, even.”
But, Palin said, she had a confession to make.
“I’m going to tell you something that only my family and some of my close friends know about me,” she said. “I’ve never been the biggest shopper in the world.”
Despite having heralded greater domestic drilling – and famously saying “drill, baby, drill” – Palin said she hoped the Gulf oil spill would prompt the government to place stringent restrictions on oil companies that want to search for, and pump out, American oil.

Palin said while the U.S. should have strict regulations on drilling, oil companies should be encouraged to search domestically to wean the U.S. off foreign oil dependency.
On other matters, she said, the government should stay out.
Ryan Olson, a real estate broker from Bellevue, Wash., said he agrees with Palin’s free-market ideas.
“I think she hits the nail on the head when she talks about stopping wasteful government spending,” he said.
Mary Hsu, a real estate investor from San Marino, Calif., said she mostly agrees with Palin’s economic ideas. But she said health care, for example, hasn’t worked as efficiently in the private sector.
Palin said that when she served on the city council in Wasilla, Alaska, she voted against anything that would limit the freedom of businesses. She didn’t want Wasilla to pass any ordinance that would deter businesses from settling there, she said.
She says that on her watch, Wasilla grew from a town without a Wal-Mart into a small retail center.
“Other countries can look to America and see some of the … things that we do that they can emulate,” she said. “And ultimately it will help create a more prosperous, a more safer, even a freer world.”

Now we just need Obama to believe in the American way of free market and the US will take off again and jobs will be available.
Glad the SUN put FORMER in front of her name..
Sarah "dumber than a box of rocks" Palin is trying to make as much money as possible while she can.
I can't believe anyone would go see her speak or listen to her. I guess we can blame McCain for this.
Mrs. Palin is right about the govt. keeping out of shopping center business. No more govt. streets to shopping centers, no more govt. public transit to shopping centers, no more govt. bond funds for shopping centers, no more govt. eminent domain condemnation of land for shopping centers.
"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross" ... George W. Bush
Oh BTW, I am an ardent supporter of the Tea Party movement and am apalled that she has tried to hijack the movement.
yep, she sure is dumb, huh?
she made more money this month than all you haters did combined.
plus she's hot.
BobbyG: Harry & Rory are Grifters.
@stevem: your right she's smart, good looking and a whole bunch of people like her. To bad for all these libs and dems that think Obama and Reid are doing us justice. For all you Palin haters take a look at the un-employment in Vegas. And do me a favor and you pay for another persons health care. Oh and while your at it let some illegals move into your home so you can feed them and provide a roof over there head.
I'm suprised even 400 attended.
Sarah Palin quit her job before her term was
done because 15 ethics violations were filed
against her.
People who follow her are brain dead idiots
who have no ethics.
yes, they were filed against her.
and how many have been proven to be true?
that's right.
none.
try again?
Yup.
She shur is purdy!
Hey stevem, guess who's $$$$ she's grifting???
HA ha ha!!!
Suckers.
steven.......
If the ethics violations were not true she
would not have quit.
It's the Quitter!!
400 attendees??? wow... hopefully she's saved a few of those millions she has made off of the tea partiers...
She puffs alot but the truth hurts.
Stevem, I am sure (not), knows the status of each and every charge leveled against the former jack*ss of a governor.
To see obtuseness at work start with cpa_ken's first post and look at all the conservative nonsense posted after it.
Meanwhile,

Ms. Palin is wise to praise the free market - it's been good to her.
Now with America in mind, what exactly is she contributing to it these days other than catchy little phrases and unimaginative observations that any one of our commenters could have come up with?
""She said she was able to get new clothes, however, thanks to a local mall.""
---------------------------------------------
O RLY, Mrs. Grifter? WHATever happened to the "I had to borrow some clothes" story?
http://www.spokesman.com/blogs/boise/201...
Geez, that was only yesterday she told that whopper. Short term memory loss? I've heard of Alzheimers setting in as early as 46 years old...
And I'll bet Alaska Airlines REALLY appreciates you raking them over the coals for the second day in a row. Don't forget, they know all about your deflated tummy during the two legs of your flight home from Dallas April 17, 2008.
The former HALF-Term Quitter of a failed Governor would have said it all!
Oh, she asks "Do you love your freedom?" Wow! Uh, yeah, and we love air, water and good food too! GEESHE!
I don't hate - but I do loathe the pathetic example she sets for all women - how sad, Sad, SAD!
BTW: I agree that Palin's all about just getting paid - and when she's finished patronizing and pandering in politics (after the 2012 cycle) - I look forward to her trying the final sell-out with a MILF photo-spread, literally, in Playboy - LOL!
Tt's hard to believe that some stupid people
are still giving her their money.
Some Americans are really dumb.
She lost, get over it.
Isn't calling for a free market economy and rigid restrictions on off-shore drilling a contradiction?
I'm guessing that if there wasn't a spill in the Gulf Palin would be calling for the removal of any restrictions on off-shore drilling as a free marketeer would.
Governor Palin stepped down for the right reasons--she did not want to see her state government continue to get bogged down with inane "ethics" complaints that were transparently political, plainly partisan, and diverting state resources.
She saw that if she stayed on as Governor it would cost the state millions of dollars in wasted time and resources to defend against false and maliciously ethics complaints and doom it to gridlock. She knew that it would also continue to cost the state hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend against false and maliciously filed ethics complaints.
She resigned because she recognized the cost that the frivolous ethics complaints were having on her state , and she saw how much of her staff's time and her own time were forced to deal with those issues.
Her entire administration was paralized by those frivolous complaints, only an idiot wouldnt be able to see or admit that. She stepped aside so that Alaska could concentrate on important things like governing.
Notice they never attack Sarah Palin's core positions because they know that they are popular with majority of the people.
Palin's positions are widely shared.
She opposes the health care law -- so does the public.
She's concerned about the federal deficit -- so is the public
Sarah Palin supports the Arizona illegal immigration law -- so does the public.
She supports the right to life -- and the public is moving toward her.
She support energy independence --so is the public.
Sarah Palin is standing with the majority of Americans who feel the same way she does on healtcare , smaller government , lower taxes , energy independence and securing the border.
@ Jackt, Then why didn't the "majority" elect her? Oh, wait, sorry I asked - now I remember the facts - did you mean to say "the majority of voices in your head" or what? LOL!
Jack,
Palin LOST. Like Johnathan said, the majority didn't elect her.
Your reasons for her stepping down as Governor are laughable and completely ridiculous.
I think I do know "Jack."
Less government? Less government in the coal mines that kill employees in Utah and W Virginia. Less government on Wall Street, out at Bear Stearns, and AIG? Less government out in the Gulf requiring blow out protectors that Norway and Brazil require??
Oh and less government at small businesses?? like lunch counters? requiring desegregation and ADA improvements, we know what these people and groups are all about now...we know the Rand Pauls and Cato's of this world, and sick Nevada based groups would return the country and the world back to the 1700's
By the way, Sarah Palin said that her family used Canada's health care system and thought it was great, can you spell hypocrite??
Republikkkan Party Chairman Steale on ABC This Week refused to condemn the segregationist comments of Teaparty leader Rand Paul.
Palin did not condemn Paul (of course Obama condemn Rev Wright, Byrd condemned his Klan involvement)
We now have a neo-segregationist party as part of the political landscape. Ensign should be called upon to condemn Steale and Paul, or he should be considered a backer of the segregationist philosophy given de-facto support by Republican Chairman Steale.
That woman is an I-D-I-O-T! LOL
For those that say she lost..Why not comment on health care, illegal immigration that was not part of the 08 election. Or on how your president sucks up tp the Mexican president that bashes our country right in Washington. Bet Palin wouldn't have allowed it. And for for mred you're comparing Paul to Rev Wright or Byrd and the Klan?
"she made more money this month than all you haters did combined.
plus she's hot."
Big ups to Stevem for continuing to provide daily red letter examples of the teabagger-neoCon maturity and mentality levels. If making money and being hot were important ingredients of our political officials, methinks Stevie would be tripping all over his Transformers lunchbox to cast his vote for Paris Hilton. Keep em rolling Stevie...redefining classy one post at a time.
only 400???
hee hee hee...
me thinks the stupid pathetic ugly lying always making a threat or fear mongering repuiblicans are finally wising up...
man i sure hope not!!!
I almost wish the government would have let the financial system collapse. Then the banks accounts of the Limbaughs, the Becks, the Hannitys, and the Palins of the world would mean very little. There is a better than average chance that will happen anyway -- then sister Sarah really will have to hunt for her food.
Ah, I understand the Sun's new Facebook policy now. If there is an article about Harry Reid or Democrats in geeneral, then we must limit negative comments by requiring Facebook registration. But if the article is about Republicans, than we won't bother. Of course this policy only lasts for "a short time", which means until the November elections.
One usually associates newspapers with free speech. Apparently, the Sun has turned that idea on its head.
JackT.....You better count your "lucky" stars that woman did not get elected VP...Too think someone as brainless as she is would be 2nd in line that is very scary.
Freeeedumb! Libirrrrridy! They scream!
The Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin single 3x5 index card.
I am for freedom and liberty...I am not sure what those principals have to do with the current state of America?
As we live the destruction and carnage inflicted by RUN-AMOK free-marketeers, it's seems a hard sell to say BRING'EM BACK YEEEEHAWWW YIPPDY DO DA!
Can I call ya Joe?
"Well, what papers do you read'?
"All of them"
She saw money in Las Vegas. She came for it. She spoke to 400 people. She said anything they want to hear. She made false promises. She stirred up the masses with her brand. Because it makes money for her. And yes, verily, it worked! She raked in the money. She laughed at the suckers. She then left to find somewhere else to do it again. All she has to remember is to not go do interviews one-on-one. Bad juju. Because it reveals totally that lower forms of life are smarter than she is.
Sara Palin is not the great American patriot, the savior of the free world, nor is she the best thing to happen since slice cheese.
Sara Palin advocates....Sara Palin. Sara Palin in a can.
Moh money, moh money, moh money!
Twenty years from now, at a reunion party for failed pundits, she will show up alongside Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Bill Kristol and numerous others (I know they'd be too old to be around...but they believe they will live forever) and proclaim...
"Remember when we snowed everyone into thinking we could change things and raked in that money screaming out ultra right wing neo-conservative stuff?"
They will all laugh and agree with her.
Ah, those were the days.
Too bad the brand they endorsed killed the Republican Party in their quest to make money though.
Only 100k to listen to her BS! The fools and their money are soon parted! Now her daughter wants money to talk against teen pregnancy, I never laughed so hard!
it still makes me sick to think...
that this women...
this thing of very limited intelligence...
had a chance to become the vice president of the united states...
man o man...
the stupid pathetic ugly lying always making a threat or fear mongering republicans just can not be trusted...
they will do or say anything to get their way...
like itty bitty children...
they know sarah's dumb...
it is plain for all to see...
but they just don't care as long as they win...
and the saddest part of all...
mccain flushed his reputation down the toilet...
ruined it...
the man just never recovered after being slimed by bush in 2000...
sad...
truly sad...
"What would our communities be without our shopping centers?" she asked. "Meeting our needs is what it is that you do." "She says that on her watch, Wasilla grew from a town without a Wal-Mart into a small retail center."
That's right moose head Palin! Wasillians can now spent their annual government/corporate welfare check of $1,000 to every Alaskan in Wasilla,AK. I don't know of any Socialist government that cuts a $1,000 check every year for life to every citizen. Hail to the free economy and government system in Alaska. Maybe Greece should take a closer look at that model.

I want now my annual gold mine/casino royalty check too?
Hope air lines keep loosing her luggage. It'll keep illegals seeking for good paying jobs in NYC or LA garment districts, and hungry children in third world countries working for the fashionistas. Read for yourself: http://www.crossing-borders-fair-trade.c...
she left office because it would have cost her a fortune and years fighting all those empty allegations.
she would not ave been an effective governor so she left office.
it was a classy move.
and "sun"...you need to delete every comment that has the word "teabagger" in it (even THIS one).
that is a degrading sexual term and many many many people that are in the teaPARTY are veterans of this country. how DARE you sick liberals degrade them. shame on you.
As someone who was there, the crowd was far larger than described and there was plenty of applause. You can read my account and see photos of Sarah and the crowds here [ http://bit.ly/9FEaDq ]. From where I sat, the crowd was definitely connecting with her message.
I am brain dead...oh wait, I have to visit the other 56 of the 57 states. Mexico is a state, Russia is a state, Kenya is a state..
Mred, you are a decietful irrational and illogical left-wing partisan. You are completly unwilling to even listen to the other sides position, evident by your desire to push agenda over the truth (you continue to make your zealot like claims without engaging in rational debate over the issue).
It is irrational deaf zealonts like yourself that cause situations like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZHnB3jyr...
(Guy accused of racial harrassment for reading a book about how a bunch of college students beat up Klan members in a street fight)
Sarah Palin is a quitter. She ran out on the people of Alaska to make money, saying things she does not believe in, saying whatever the fanatics want to hear.
Shouldn't the headline read, "Sun allows a negative, vile filled free-for-all about Sarah Palin"
Teamster, birdie, mschaffer, john and any of the others that continue to do the hate chant, here's one thing you may want to remember...... the elections are coming up very soon and after the Dems are handed their hats, you can hate everything again, not just Sarah.
See, there is a silver lining to your hate-speech.
stevem - "yep, she sure is dumb, huh?
"she made more money this month than all you haters did combined."
That doesn't say much for her followers, does it?
The women is an idiot, who can only ramble in circles. I have yet to hear her say something of substance.

Ron White - "You can't fix stupid" "Stupid is fo-evah."
Mschaffer, you actually quoted the Huffington Post??!! Wow, I guess your hate is a one sided street. You rail on Fox as a one sided fauxny news organization, yet you quote the Huffington Post?
Vernos, Are you going to use that quote fo-evah? A broken clock is only right twice a day.
dbardwell,
Yes, when Huckster's speak, and people applaud and cheer and hoot and holler, the Huckster/Grifter smiles inside with the knowledge that they have sucked in another "mark".
Then they think about how they're gonna spend yo' MONEY!!!
I wonder if all the "Larrys" that coughed up their hard-earned dough to see the sow, er... show, SHOW!, got their MOO-lah's worth!!!
Yes, Hitler was a socialist: http://democraticpeace.wordpress.com/200...
She is flagrantly unqualified, and certainly not the Messenger I would have chosen, but I advise all y'all to not let the Messenger be the issue...the issues need to be debated - there need be no debate regarding Ms. Palin...please don't let the powerful divide and conquer folks continue with their goal...please awaken from your partisan vitriol sooner than later...we are rapidly running out of time...
Sarah Palin is one smart lady! The real idiot is Obama!!
Let's start a pool. What year will Palin cease to pull in enough numbers to warrant a speaking tour?
I'll bet late 2013. The media will surely bandy her about through the 2012 election. Stevem, she'll be moving from cougar into jaguar status but she should still have plenty of money for you. Watch for her to ride the next wave of popular sentiment regardless of prior position. In 2013, the sea will turn flat and her surfing days will be over. The circus tents will and come down and it will have been a good run for the traveling evangelist.
Yep, purdy and soft.
Two-digit IQ and a great personality to help out along with those fluttering lashes and silky smooth skin of youth. And HOT smile.
Yep she'll make it to the Miss America show.
Besides quoting Rush and Sean and BP though, her political quiver seems a bit empty.
Wow! I am in awe of former Mayor and former Governor Sarah Palin's ability to roil the living daylights out of the demonizing Marxist-Socialist-Liberals of America, and electrify her audience with sensible, earthy, and God fearing truths about how the moose ate the tundra grass.
All Barracks Akabar Obummer can do is spout Southside Chicago streets shoe-shine boy altruisms. What a radical difference!

Exactly, just another example of the lv sun trying to manipulate the news to meet their own agenda.
Like radio talk shows are fair and balanced?
We Now have P J G from the Nevada Policy think tank? defending segregation and discrimination in Public Accommodations with weird pseudo intellectual constructs about "girls in the Boy Scouts and Lesbian Roommates?"
I hope there is an investigation of what Palin, Lowden, Angle ET AL believe in regard to "un-repentant" segregationists like Steale and Paul.
"un-repentant" segregationists
LMAO
well it's true!
Sarah Palin speaks for a lot of Americans. I really admire her and her leadership.
You just can't put a price on watching the Left-Wing nuts whine like babies. : )
She stands for what alot of people believe in. She is not the brightest, but she is getting a message out. Issues need to be discussed, and solutions need to be found. Obama is alot smoother, but I haven't been impressed.
You guys are so mean. And why do you hate our shopping center freedoms anyway? They meet our shopping needs, and stuff.
As of May 11, 2010, Sarah Palin's national favorability rating was
53% unfavorable
36% favorable
11% undecided/no opinion/refused
Even if that last 11% joined the favorables, the majority of a broad range of persons polled disapprove of Sarah Palin, and it can probably be surmised correctly that they would not vote for her, too.
It should be pointed out that these percentages are spreading farther and farther apart as the months have gone on.

wow...whats up with that..she went to speaking at political rallies and now is talking to a bunch of strip mall developers....I'd be curious to know how much she got on that gig...400 people?? LOL
Palin bashing isn't that hard when you have someone that brain addled as a target..and IF you think being hot and having money is signs of intellgence...Lindsy Lohann....Paris Hilton....Nuff said??? :O)
Mred you are a deceitful agenda pushing scoundrel who is too cowardly to debate the issues honestly and rationally. You would rather scare people into line with your bull and hoot and holler and trash about until you've whipped people up into a rabid irrational frenzy.
Patrick...agenda-pushing is a hyphenated word. I'll not address the rest of your grammatical and syntax errors.
Everyone... a lot is two words.
That is all.
please feel free to correct my grammar and syntax errors all you want. My formative years are product of California's public education system.
Cato Institute on Rand Pauls statements
http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_...
Yet there's nothing intrinsically racist in the argument in favor of property rights -- and indeed, any real liberal ought to at least have some sympathy for it. Strong property rights have often been the friend of unpopular minorities: Jim Crow laws were imposed precisely because racists feared the South's rigid caste system would collapse if business owners were free to integrate, as historian Charles Wynes noted in his 1961 study Race Relations in Virginia. After that long apartheid imposed on consumer preferences, it might have been too sanguine to hope market forces alone would have ushered in desegregation as rapidly as the Civil Rights Act did. But history is littered with tribal boundaries shattered by commerce, and formal law yielded no instant solution either
Does everyone just take things at face value?
Lets analyze the points.
Less government, GREAT goal. but how to get there?
Im my eyes, government has had to get so involved in buisness due to the fact that alot of buisnesses operate rather dishonestly and take advantage of their workers. One need not do more than turn on the TV and they will see all sorts of misleading advertisements, borderline lies, 10 lines of fine print that a speed reader with a magnifying glass couldn't read, bait and switchis all to common. See the laws have been written, and then companies push them right to their limit, how can we safely pull government out of buisness without the consumer being taken advantage of. I say it sounds like a good goal, but I would first like to see some honesty, and values in buisness.
Free Market: Rand Paul suggested eliminating the part of the civil rights act that prevents store owners from discriminating.
Supporters say, that those buisnesses wouldnt do good buisness and would eventually fail.
One needs not to look far into the future to see the potential. Communities would pop up, most likely in the south (go figure) where stores that catered to white only would flourish. We would wind up with migrations of racists to these communities. If you cant see the divissive potential of all this its because your not really looking at it. We could once again wind up with a racially divided country. The war that could ensue would be way worse than any before.
As to Palin: c'mon people are actually still playing into her BS? You people are still playing the whole conservative vs liberal games? Wake up that kind of thought is not going to solve any problems, it just creates more, but it also allows people like Palin to make money off it. To all you pinheads, just because you make money, it dont mean you are smart.
I'm calling bullsh*t on the 5000. Looks like bradkar is a one-post Sarah troll anyway. Funny how they seem to show up whenever there's an article about the talibunny--except for Gibby, he gets paid to troll.
And what exactly is the Examiner? Is that the give-away rag people are complaining about because they toss it on everyone's lawn whether they want it or not?
Oh, here it is:
"The Washington Examiner is a free daily newspaper with published in Springfield, Virginia, and distributed around Washington, D.C. and its suburbs. All of its opinion pieces express a conservative viewpoint. It is owned by Denver businessman Philip Anschutz, one of the world's richest men."
And then this:
"When Anschutz started the Examiner in its current format, he envisioned creating a conservative competitor to The Washington Post. According to Politico.com, "When it came to the editorial page, Anschutz's instructions were explicit -- he 'wanted nothing but conservative columns and conservative op-ed writers,' said one former employee."
Sarah hater monkeys crack me up. Last decade they hated Bush, before that Clarence Thomas, Ronald Reagan, haha, it never changes. Union monkeys (that's you, teamster) and robot liberals hate whomever they're told to hate, starting by impugning the intelligence of the object of their hatred.
Well, haters, keep jerking those knees and knocking yourselves out while your own democrat homeboys burn down the country. You have no idea how ignorant and cheap you sound, because you're ignorant and cheap.
Monkey wants to hate? Monkey says:
Republican teabaggers who still back "moose-
brains" Palin, prove their ignorance everyday.
It's very hard to believe that some Americans
are really this stupid.
This woman is the biggest gold digger in this
country and republican fools keep giving her
money. HA HA HA HA HA.
Republicans like raidare, HATE the truth.
The truth being that the wealthiest democracies on the planet also tend to be the most likely to engage in considerable degrees of free markets and capitalism....
Idiot
I am very disappointed and Ms. Palin is disappointing that she has not with all her knowledge of the wildnerness of Alaska and the oil drilling that has been such a controversy and her husband being an oil jock that she has not been been a consultant in the BP problem of capping off the oil gusher under sea. Apparently her fickelness and her fat-lips do not allow her to have such engineering access to a brain. Straw perhaps, now there is a thought, she could donate her straw brain as a beginning of a great donation campaign for straw to stop the oil gusher--after all just one person can do great wonders--and let that person be Palin.
dID i MISS SOMETHING ALONG THE WAY THE WAY TO THE MOON OR IS THIS BEING USED TO VENT FEELINGS AND MORE OR LESS PERSONAL FEELINGS ABOUT USERS OF THE WEBSITE THAT NEED TO BE LEFT AT THE DOOR STEP OF THE OWNER OF THE WEBSITE.
... SO: how 'bout QUITTER-CARIBOU-BARBIE, who LEFT her HOMETOWN MILLIONS-of-$$$ in DEBT?!? LMAO!!!
Sorry to say, S Palin is the biggest retard I have ever seen in politics!
She reminds me of a past inlaw - who told me not to smoke in my own house! She got the boot, 86ed from my house!
I did not read this SP tidbit, but SP - please go back into that world you came from.
mred,
How do you have time posting on this story? Shouldn't you be putting together that stellar resume that will give you a shot at your new position as Fry Guy at McDonalds?
Comment removed by moderator. Name calling.
Palin is a disgrace and an embarrassment to America. All over the world people laugh at us because we allow uneducated white trash like this into our political system and of course FOX news. It's always shocking to me how many people blindly listen to what she spouts. She's dangerous and the thought of her having clout with this country scares me. Please let's keep her out of politics and out of the spotlight!
AngryVoter, you do realize that Jim Crow was a government law? It was intended to "protect" whites from greedy corporations who would put profit over "white sensibilities" because the greedy corporations realized that having desegregated facilities was not only cheaper but they could double their customer base as well and make a bigger profit.
Profits pushing for racial equality. Next maybe I'll explain how markets and capitalism produced great equality between the sexes.
Dear teabaggers and other republican idiots that still believe in the freemarket and the myth of trickle down economics,
This woman is sucking up all the money she can while you still think she is "hot". Wake up men, dudes, women! Not everyone that was there liked her speach, the headlines in another more reputable publications agreed-- "She Bombed" because she was not well prepared! Check this out and do not just go with the gut, become critical thinkers!

From The Dirt Lawyer's Blog:
"Speaking of disappontement, let's talk about the keynote address from Sarah Palin. In short, it was a standard stump speech with a few superficial comments about shopping centers and retail real estate. It was awful and a borderline train wreck in my opinion. All Palin had to do was add in a paragraph about the pending disaster of carried interest and she would have not only won over the crowd but gotten significant fundraiser cash from the industry if she runs in 2012. As it stands, I do not know if she knows what carried interest is."
Those that know they are finally waking up!
