“We didn’t elect you just to rearrange the deck chairs on a sinking Titanic,” Palin said during a rally in front of the Wisconsin statehouse in Madison. “What we need from you, GOP, is to fight.” Pointing to the national champion University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team, Palin said the GOP could learn from its resolve and “needs to learn how to fight like a girl.”
Palin took issue with the GOP leadership for promising $100 billion in cuts from the current budget, trimming that pledge to $60 billion and finally settling for $38 billion in the recent budget battle.
“Then after some politics as usual and accounting gimmicks we found out — ya know that $38 billion? We’re actually borrowing that $38 billion,” Palin said. “That is not courage, that is capitulation.”

Sarah Palin is probably the leading contender for the Republican Party nomination, but is this what she wants?
(and Sarah, please do something about that damn screechy voice..!!)

RB, I was just going to make the same comment about Palin’s voice, good God that makes it hard to even listen to that speech.
In my view Trump/Palin would actually make a good combination. I’d then have West in charge of the military and Paul on finance, probably Bolton on foreign relations. Pretty much everything else can be abandoned at federal level and left to the states.

“Pretty much everything else can be abandoned at federal level and left to the states.”
My feelings exactly–but the Feds won’t tolerate that. No government ever willingly gave up power.

Keith – one difference though, in the US they can ultimately fall back on the constitution. If enough shit is stirred up and the general populace starts to embrace Tea Party activism in a big way, things may move rapidly and place the SCOTUS under sufficient pressure to start deciding the deluge of cases that will evolve more along the lines of Scalia’s interpretations (i.e. the constitution speaks for itself). With enough popular support a watershed may follow, which would mitigate the need for full blown revolution. Also, once this ball goes rolling, states will be boldened in their independence, which in turn will lead to a flood of people and capital, thereby forcing more liberal states along, as they will become economically inviable.

True enough, Bez and I’d love to see that happen. But I believe the Constitution (or at least fidelity to Constitutional principles, ie “black letter law”) is under deliberate and sustained attack. And I’m not at all confident there are enough informed Americans to resist that.

Keith – that indeed is the weak point in my scenario, it may well be that the grey masses have been dumbed down sufficiently by now.

Sinner – an interesting point, although it has the obvious hurdle of Article V.
