Sarah Palin Takes Cake at McCain’s Rally
Senator John McCain's former running mate joined him on Friday at an Arizona rally intended to rally the Republican base behind McCain, who is facing a tough primary battle against a challenge from the right by former Rep. J.D. Hayworth.
It was Sarah Palin's first appearance with McCain since their 2008 electoral defeat, and in today's Republican party the one-time Alaskan governor clearly outshines the veteran senator.
Dressed in a form-fitting black leather jacket, Palin was greeted by massive applause and chants of "Sarah, Sarah" as the two came onstage together. Several news stories noted that there seemed to be far less enthusiasm for McCain, and one poster in a thread live-blogging the event at Democratic Underground pointed out that MSNBC had cut away from the event promptly at 4 pm, while McCain was still speaking.
Palin used the occasion to slam the media for suggesting that members of the Tea Party movement might resort to violence in their outrage over the passage of health care reform.
"We might as well call it like we see it," she stated. "In respect to the Tea Paty movement, the beautiful movement, everyone here today, we are all part of that movement. … Everyone here supporting John McCain, we are all the Tea Party movement."
I feel the reason behind most of our troubles and the need for TEA Parties is the government’s ability to print up whatever money it wants to manipulate us with.
Maybe this will help make the danger of fiat money clear.
Imagine you and me are setting across from each other. We create enough money to represent all of the world’s wealth. Each one of us has one SUPER Dollar in front of him.
You own half of everything and so do I.
I’m the government though. I get bribed into creating a Central Bank.
You’re not doing what I want you to be doing so I print up myself eight more SUPER Dollars to manipulate you with.
All of a sudden your SUPER Dollar only represents one tenth of the wealth of the world!
That isn’t the only thing though. You need to get busy and get to work because YOU’VE BEEN STIFFED with the bill for the money I PRINTED UP to get YOU TO DO what I WANTED.
That to me represents what has been happening to the economy, and us, and why so many of our occupations just can’t keep up with the fake money presses.
They have been beating us with our own stick!!!!1
