Live Blogging Gov. Palin at Tea Party Convention

Posted on | February 6, 2010 | 59 Comments

Below is a sampling of the speech. Themes included Scott Brown as a Tea Party signal, the need for common-sense values, questions on national security and stimulus money. Broken promises.

I thought it a solid effort. The critics are going to be all over the shrill voice, in their own shrill tones.

She mentions debt briefly, and it’s the elephant in the room. Now, I’m not saying Governor Palin owes me the time of day. She clearly does not. I do hope to be supporting leadership, possibly her, that makes hard, painful decisions about that elephant. We still do not hear, even on the right, sufficient uproar over bankrupt entitlements. They were Constitutionally bankrupt long before they turned into swindles and stole our future.

She talks about the American people as not dumb. So lets have a voting-adults discussion about what level of government gets what responsibilities, and how they are funded. I submit as a going in principle that the Fed doesn’t play the F-F game with individuals: not for education; not housing; not retirement; not health care. Disabusing ourselves of the notion of Federal entitlements is step one.

Step two is figuring out how you’re transitioning of Keynesian crack and onto something sober and Austrian. Won’t be cheap. Even though a bazillion sensible Americans can see the need, getting leadership with the integrity to make those kinds of calls (perhaps Sarah, perhaps not) is going to be tough.

Step three is to make required systemic changes to minimize the risk of repeats. If you lop the tops off the weeds, they return. The roots require attention. This means dusting off the wisdom of the three-teir, three branch system of government which we’ve casually punted for a century. Mea culpa, too: I should have been screaming on blogs much earlier. Don’t worry, we’ll all get to pay.

Whoever manages to secure the nomination had better be the leader who brings the national come-to-beavis meeting, or all of this Tea Party business is so much urinary tract input.

Finally, before the meat of my rushed notes, forget not our Favorite Knight Errant, Stacy McCain, whose warm words from the non-blizzard area of the country we await. Consider how his writing might be improved by, say, a cup of coffee, or some token for an irate spouse…

Update: Dan Riehl plays the Huckabee card…

2145 EST God Bless America, thank you all.
2144 EST Reagan’s 99th birthday. His spirit endures.
2142 EST Need civil debate.
2139 EST We’re drowning in national debt, and many of us have had enough.
2138 EST Legislators voting on unseen legislation.
2137 EST More than 40 lobbiests given waivers.
2137 EST Pledge to end closed door, sweetheart contracts. Last month, large contract given to Democrat donor.
2136 EST Actual dollar cost of stimulus, like jobs saved/created, is elusive. Current unemployment exceeds promised 8%.
2135 EST Nothing timely or target here. They seem wasteful.
2134 EST Stimulus cash ended up in places that don’t exist, for things that don’t stimulate.
2133 EST A year later: “How’s that hopey-changy stuff workin’ out for ya?” Joe [Biden’s] transparency meetings were held behind closed doors.
2132 EST VP Biden was going to be a good steward via tough, unprecedented oversight commission.
2131 EST Her AK veto against the stimulus money was over-ridden. The Fed will have taken more control as this plays out.
2130 EST The States knew that the Federal government was going to violate the 10th Amendment through the use of stimulus money.
2130 EST Paul Ryan quote: “TARP is a slush fund.” 92% of the executives on Wall Street still have their jobs.
2129 EST Washington has now replaced private irresponsibility with public irresponsibility.
2127 EST Democracies don’t go to war with each other. Foreign policy cannot be managed through personality.
2126 EST You’re tired of hearing the talk, talk, talk. It’s time for tough actions like sanctions on Iran.
2125 EST We need a policy dividing friends from enemies and recognizing the situation [I’ve garbled this point.]
2124 EST Where is the Presidents clear strong voice of support for Iranians struggling against Amadhinejad?
2122 EST That same kind of misguided thinking is seen throughout the Administration’s foreign policy [enumerates examples]
2121 EST To win that war, we need a Commander in Chief, not a professor standing at the lectern. *applause*
2120 EST Terrorist attacks are treated as an international crime spree rather than an act of war.
2119 EST TUB was interrogated for 50 minutes before he lawyered up and was read his Miranda Rights.
2118 EST [The Underpant’s Bomber’s] failure was a Christmas miracle, and that’s not how the system is supposed to work.
2117 EST National security is one place where Washington has to call it like it is.
2116 EST You have a vision for the future, one that values conservative principles and common-sense solutions.
2115 EST This is about the people, and it’s a lot bigger than any charismatic guy with a teleprompter.
2114 EST Do not let Tea Party movement be defined by a single leader.
2113 EST In 2010, I tip my hat to anyone with the courage to throw theirs in the ring. Understand candidates are human, will disappoint occasionally.
2112 EST Tough primaries are good. Competition is good. Work for candidates who supports your values and priorities. Contested primaries are democracy at work.
2111 EST Big problems to solve. Tired of looking backward. Future looks good, because if there is hope in Mass., then there is hope everywhere.
2110 EST Voters are sending a message, liberal establishment running scared.
2109 EST When you’re 0 for 3, you’ve got to stop lecturing and start listening.
2108 EST The White House blames their candidate for the ‘Chowdah revolution’. Other blamess, but BHO made it about GWB.
2107 EST Shout out to Senator Scott Brown, who represents what this movement is all about.
2106 EST Trite Tea party joke about Iced Tea in Alaska. This is the revolution. Real people, not politicos.
I’m nearly done with the FMJRA. Stacy can reprimand my tardiness later. Man, PTJV has a sweet going-in-circles gadget while awaiting the start.

I thought it was a strong speech, with a little roughness here and there in the delivery. It struck me at first that she was using a lot of Tea Party cliches, but then it occurred to me why:

This speech was covered on live all the cable news outfits. This was the first time that many, many viewers will have been exposed to Tea Party slogans and rhetoric. THAT is who this speech was aimed at. Not just the fans. THOSE folks just got a Cuda sledge between the eyes.

Tomorrow’s news will be interesting.

As a tea partier since March, I felt validated by tonight. I watched the PJTV coverage and wished I was there. What you didn’t see on Fox (CNN as well as MSNBC) was the sit-down Q&A with Judson Philips after the ovations died down. I am heartened that she said what we all say, think, wish was said. I never felt that she was positioning as a “leader” of either the TP or the GOP during the speech. Eleven standing ovations, the heartiest, I thought, for the belief in the Constitution. Her folksy stuff will curl the hair on the wingnuts but the girl’s got game and I wish I could have played there. July 15-17 is the next one. Don’t overlook it.

I have a problem with this convention and also the way it’s been covered. A Fox News reportr said (in reference to the convention) the Tea Party movement is a movement within the GOP. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The blogs and the old school media are treating this convention as an organizing force .. it is not.

Sure, those of us on the grassroots level can learn from whatever comes from this convention, but that does not mean that this convention “speaks” for us. It does not.

As an example, I point out that Palin never once pointed to the excesses under the Bush administration. Had I been a left winger watching her speech, I’d have come away with the belief that the Tea Party movement is all about “dis Obama”. It is not.

I’m happy the convention went well, and I’m happy it got press, but it is not all about this admin … it is so much more than that.

It’s amazing how everyone is just waiting for her to drop the ball. After all the crap they have thrown at her and she is still smiling, they just can’t believe it. When you are rooted in the truth you will survive. I am sure we will hear all the backlash of her praise for God in her life but for me that was and is comforting. If she does run for president she will have my vote and support. I think it’s odd that we always have to fight so hard for the truth and for freedom. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

Oh Jann, perhaps you are comforted by the thought of relying on “divine intervention” to keep us safe, but the rest of us still living on planet earth see the sloganisms she deploys in her speeches as nothing more than empty words from an empty mind.
The speech was hilarious. She has proven herself to be an effective pundit at best, but certainly not POTUS material. Even Boortz agrees with that.
The Q&A was a telling in that she could not hit the softballs thrown her way, resorting to the nonsensical BS that she is so good at.She has no consistency in her line of thinking and proudly hides her ignorance behind catch phrases that please the Palin faithful.
We need a Commanderin-Chief, not a Fox News guest commentator…

young4eyes,

Either you did not watch the speech or you are so clouded by hate you could not hear the speech.

Palin scored a triple on this speech. i would vote for her in a heartbeat.

she has very clear and logical thinking. She understands unlike most of the politicans today that the founders got it right. We do not need government we need personal and professional responsibility in this country.

A man who hides his ignorance behind a teleprompt who don’t know how to find his way back home without one. Yeah…that’s what we need. And we could use a commander in chief who is not laughed at behind the hands of sixth century enemies and wondered at the reliablity of the United States of its’allies.

Dream on suckers. Not only did I watch the speech but was paying precise attention to the nothingness of the speech which Palin worshippers mistake for wisdom.
For Old Dirty Bastard to warn Stacy that I should be looked out for is a prize indeed, especially coming from a C4P fool. If anything is telling of the delusion on the Right it is the funny folks at C4P. When Palin speaks of “politics of personality” she seems to be oblivious to the fact that she would be nothing without the very thing she frowns upon. She brings nothing to the table( as Smitty also suggests) except antiquated platitudes that appeal to the common sensibilities of the fearful.
To those who are not paying attention, Palin’s speech was devoid of any substance, unless you count “common sense solutions” as the kind of detailed policy that will help this country.You see, it’s quite easy to criticize without offering any solutions yourself, as Palin does. Anyone can be a backseat driver traversing perilous roads. But we have not heard anything from Palin besides her talk-radio derived zingers. If you are gonna run a pundit you might as well run Rush. It is very telling indeed that some among us consider her “more useful than BHO”, which speaks of the fact that Palin isn’t considered a true leader so much as she is seen as a puppet to be manipulated. You guys tried that with the last Bush. How’d that work out for ya?
Listen, Palin speeches make for great fun and debate. Should she be selected to run against BO in 2012, you will see that her presence alone will motivate the Left to come out in droves, which is exactly what we need on our side. You know it and I know it.

Possibly the Administration could anoint a ‘Charisma Czar’ to give ‘jobs’ to more bureaucrats and manage the personality that elected BHO but you now greet with disdain.
However, I agree with you: I don’t want to vote for her chromosomes, and I do want to vote for sound policy.

Should she be selected to run against BO in 2012, you will see that her presence alone will motivate the Left to come out in droves, which is exactly what we need on our side. You know it and I know it.
You and your sidekick and ‘all both’ of the remaining BHO faithful will no doubt have a splendid time. Possibly we could do a live interview.

This is great.
Just read the transcript of Palin with Chris Wallace.
What a bloody mess.
OMG, seriously, you should all check it out if you’re not watching already…
What a hot mess this Palin is…
The proof is in the pudding. Even within the friendly confines of Faux News this lady is defensive, insecure, and easily rattled.She gets thrown off of her canned talking points…
Absolutely hilarious…

Faux News?

I have to imagine young4eyes has seen Avatar no less than twelve times since the opening of Rupert Murdock’s grand blue illusion.

Sweetie, if you are so righteously uptight about the existence of Sarah Palin why do you incessantly follow her every action and word?

Oh Guest, I could care less for the tripe that I am sure AVATAR is. But nice try in trying to pigeonhole me into one of those simpletons willing to drop whatever amount of money is demanded at ticket booths these days.
“Righteously uptight about the existence of Sarah Palin”?
In case you haven’t noticed, I’d love nothing more than having Miss Alaska on the GOP ticket come 2012. What you mistake as indignation is actually giddiness at the prospect of the American electorate having to choose between BO and the empty skirt whose approach to “saving America” is nothing more than a repeat of 20th century Karl Rove politics and “divine intervention”. I follow her every action and word because it is easy pickins’, like listening to a Glenn Beck hang himself with his twisted logic,inconsistency, and Frank Luntz crafted talking points.
I wold love to see her debate BO and watch her whine about the questions while suggesting sexism when people challenge her non- answers.
No, it is the wishful thinking of Palinistas that would love to believe that the attention Palin garners from the Left is fear.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
You don’t fear what doesn’t instill fear.
You laugh at that which is a joke.
Tell me if you can’t help but snicker when you see Sarah with Wallace.
Pure comedy…
Run Sarah run!!!

That would be interesting. For example, when a military topic comes up, and BHO can’t even pronounce “Corpsman” correctly, and SP acquits herself favorably, what will you do? Claim RAAAAACISM?
BHO can recite good speech off a teleprompter, but has demonstrated, AFAICT, that anyone can ride a bike with training wheels.
Oh, and about BHO’s Columbia transcript? He could diminish the criticism by demonstrating actual achievement, instead of ignoring simple questions.

young4eyes,

Just like a progressive, can’t handle the issues so you just attack through personal diversion. History has proven that progressive’s’ ideas are bankrupt so instead of fighting a losing battle on the factual reality, you focus on images and personal smears. You should realize that history has proven that your perspective on society is a well meaning self delusion. In words that you can understand, STOP DRINKING THE KOOL-AID.
