I. Want. This. Autograph
60,000 people strong it seems. Blogger photos here and here. And she didn’t have to bring in rock bands and Greek columns either. Oh,and the crowd was full of retirees. You know, old people. The kind who actually vote and don’t just say they are going to like, you know, college kids.
Here’s a video of her speech. Select the Sarah Palin Speech in the Villages at the link.

I’m sure you saw the Robert Redford movie, “The Candidate” …
[last lines]
Bill McKay: What do we do now?
Big debate coming up this week at YOUR alma mater !!!
Strange you have not mentioned it at all … all you can talk about is Caribou Barbie …
“Get in touch” !!!
I am still undecided on who to vote for !!!!!
Still waiting for the candidates to tell us how they are going to save our economy, which is essentially our FUTURE.
Wall Street shakey still after teetering on the brink of a meltdown that would certainly have been catastrophic for our country. HOW DID WE LET IT GET TO THIS POINT … ???
Who is leading this country ?
I am very concerned !!!
I’ll be watching the debate Thursday night closely.
Listening for one of these party figureheads to reveal some insight into how we are going to save this country from financial ruin.
The way it’s going now … we’ll be owned by the Chinese and Japanese in another 20 years !!!
Debate is Friday night.
I think the timing of this debate with our government’s attempt to put together a 700 Billion dollar kick in the ass to the American taxpayer is extraordinary. Is it possible they might have to cancel the debate to deal with passage of this historic legislation ? Look what happened when the Hurricane hit just before the Republican convention !!!
I would consider this a far more serious situation …

If you want to know how this happened, look back to the early 90s when they loosened up the mortgage requirements for low-income and no-income people. It was a Clinton administration response via Andrew Cuomo and Janet Reno.
“The way it’s going now … we’ll be owned by the Chinese and Japanese in another 20 years !!!”
Like the Japanese were going to own us back in the 1990s?

Socializing much of our financial industry does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. I just want to know if I can not pay my mortgage like all those free-loaders out there.
Not unless you want to live in a tent or move in with your in-laws.
To this point the government could care less that these people are losing their homes. What is being realized now is that the subprime problem has gotten out of control and is spilling over into the credit markets. Credit is drying up worldwide. When credit stops flowing … businesses fail … they need credit to survive. When businesses fail … workers get laid off. When this happens you are in recession if not DEPRESSION. And drugs can’t cure that kind of DEPRESSION.
The 90’s were all about greed. Wall Street levereged to the extreme. Housing prices soared. Stocks paid off handsomely. Times were good. We forgot about the rainy days that would eventually come. Now we are paying the price.
What does a 700 billion dollar bailout mean?
The American dollar will weaken significantly … this will push up the cost of oil again (it went up 18% today alone).
American taxpayers will pay and so will future generations of Americans.
It’s serious, Ed, I don’t doubt that, but I simply do not see anyone standing in lines for soup or migrating across the great dust bowl that is the Midwest. Besides, I’m still waiting on global warming to kill me.
There’s no denying the role of greed in this mess, or the fact that the government opened the door to it. As for the proposed bail out, I am absolutely opposed to anything that would put total control in the hands of one man–elected or not–whose decisions and actions cannot be reviewed by *anyone*. We have a system of checks and balances among the three branches of government, and we’re going to put our entire economy in the care of one person? And a political appointee, at that?? That is a setup for abuses of all kinds, and as Paulson wants it, can’t be reviewed by any court of law or anyone else. If that gets passed, we’ll have to come up with another plan for our retirement than to leave our IRA’s where they are, now.
As for the suggestion that a cap be put on compensation to executives of the institutions that get bailed out, how can there be any argument against this? Many of them are the same greedy sons of unmarried fathers who helped to get us here; why should they be free to earn the $multi-million salaries and bonuses again? If some control isn’t put into place, we might as well set free the Enron and other corporate exec’s currently in prison and help them start up their corporations, again.
Okay, TRO, tell me where I’m wrong.
Well you better look more closely at the landscape. Tent cities are springing up throughout the country.
Maybe a Mad Max scenario is not so far-fetched.
No fuel, no food, anarchy.
You ever stop to consider what happened to the great ancient civilizations of the world. What happened to the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Aztecs, Mians ?
Ed, I have no doubt that America will not last forever, but it’s downfall will be from the loss of a true American identity in favor of multi-culturalism and division, not due to a mortgage loan failure.
Vicki, capping wages is socialism and communism. Somehow I don’t see any great societies springing from those two ideologies. The answer is regulation of course, and jail time for execs who break the law.
Oh, but I do not think that nationalizing our mortgage industry is the right thing to do.
