Palin: Government wants to 'control the people'

[sabra]

Source: CNN

(CNN) – Alaska governor Sarah Palin let loose Wednesday on the Obama administration for enacting fiscal policies that "fly in the face of principles" and "defy Economics 101."

In a speech introducing Michael Reagan — the son of former President Ronald Reagan — to an audience in Anchorage, Palin warned that the government is planning to "bail out debt ridden states" so it can "get in there and control the people."

"Since when can you get out of huge national debt by creating trillions of dollars of new debt?" Palin asked. "It all really is so backwards and skewed as to sound like absolute nonsense when some of this economic policy is explained."

"We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population, and fearful lawmakers, being led to believe that big government is the answer, to bail out the private sector, because then government gets to get in there and control it," she said. "And mark my words, this is going to be next, I fear, bail out next debt-ridden states. Then government gets to get in there and control the people."

10. Oh, Sarah...

Shut the fuck up.

As if you knew shit about economics anyway--for fuck's sake, you didn't even know Africa was a continent and not a country.

[jtb33]

24. Ugh... that Palin/Africa thing isn't true

Is there a reason we keep parroting this? It makes us look bad, akin to the right saying that Obama is a Muslum or thinks that there are 57 states.

From snopes (http://www.snopes.com/info/inthenews.asp):

MSNBC was the victim of a hoax when it reported that an adviser to John McCain had identified himself as the source of an embarrassing story about former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, the network said.

David Shuster, an anchor for the cable news network, said on air that Martin Eisenstadt, a McCain policy adviser, had come forth and identified himself as the source of a Fox News Channel story saying Palin had mistakenly believed Africa was a country instead of a continent.

Eisenstadt identifies himself on a blog as a senior fellow at the Harding Institute for Freedom and Democracy. Yet neither he nor the institute exist; each is part of a hoax dreamed up by a filmmaker named Eitan Gorlin and his partner, Dan Mirvish.

Of course, MSNBC fell for it, but we should hold ourselves to a higher standard.

11. Palin would know about economics 101..

she took it 4 times!

[BrotherBuzz]

13. I understand she took Econ 101 six times in four different learning institutuons

[bluestateguy]

12. It's not patriotic to criticize the president

nt

[beac]

14. I sincerely doubt that "Economics 101" was a clas that Sarah Palin ever took, much less passed, at

any of her six colleges.

And IIRC, Palin wanted to "get in there" and control the people's reproductive rights (among others) as the 'Head of the Senate' or whatever the hell she thought she would be as VP.


"It all really is so backwards and skewed as to sound like absolute nonsense when some of this economic policy is explained." LOOK IN THE FARKIN MIRROR, you insufferable dipshit!

[mitchum]

16. Says the queen of THE welfare state

Fuck her

[DinahMoeHum]

17. She can't even look after HER OWN FAMILY, for crying out loud.

so much for abstinence-only sex education.

[AllentownJake]

18. Economics 101

Didn't know Communications majors took Econ :shrug:

[kestrel91316]

19. Meanwhile, Palin wants government AND CHURCH to control

women's wombs. Go figure.

Well, her darling daughter has proven that she, at least, is incapable of controlling her own.

[woodsprite]

20. But yet she and her kind would be real happy if gov't could control my womb. n/t

[tocqueville]

21. People : wants Government to control Palin

she is not reliable...

[Wizard777]

22. We know there is a problem. But how do we solve it? Educate us.

Teach us Economics 101. Teach us how to make money without spending money. We Alchemist would love that see that trick. Because even in Alchemy one must first have gold to make gold. Don't show us the magic. Show us how the magic works. Show us your mastery of it. Show us exactly how your going pull a thriving economy out of your ass without spending a penny.

[Golden Raisin]

23. And this galoot is a Governor of a State

and was a Vice Presidential candidate. America truly still is the land of opportunity.

[cindyfaulkner]

25. I sincerely doubt that she even took an

economics class much less passed it. And by the way it was fine when ole Ronnie Reagan did it.

[UrbScotty]

26. Abortion and marriage, anybody? (nt)

[DebbieCDC]

27. Did she ever take Econ 101 at ANY of the colleges she attended?

I'd take econ advice from her like I'd take marital fidelity instruction from Donald Trump.

Why is anyone giving this bimbo a platform? STFU already.

[AtomTan]

33. I'm not a Sara Palin fan, but our Goverment

Too bad the GOP has also contributed to this.

[Libertas1776]
