Palin: Don't 'party like it's 1773' just yet

The former Alaska governor kicks off a nationwide Tea Party Express tour by telling activists in Reno they can't stop until conservatives control Washington. She takes aim at Nevada Sen. Harry Reid.

Seeking to channel the sign-bearing, flag-waving enthusiasm of the "tea party" movement into ballot-box victories, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told hundreds of supporters here Monday they couldn't "party like it's 1773" until Washington was flooded with committed conservatives.

Though an exuberant Palin plugged Sharron Angle, the Republican running neck-and-neck with Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, Palin spent much of her 26-minute speech denouncing the policies of Democrats, whose base is dispirited and whose congressional majorities are at stake in November.

"The only way that government can allow our economy to get roaring again is for government to get out of the way and let the private sector do it," Palin said in a state that leads the nation in joblessness and foreclosures. "Liberals need to know they can't legislate prosperity from Washington."

The event launched a 30-city nationwide tour for the Tea Party Express, the California-based concern whose financial backing helped Angle, Alaska's Joe Miller, Delaware's Christine O'Donnell and other conservatives secure Republican Senate nominations, but also strained relationships between the tea partiers and the GOP's more moderate wing.

3. I went to a local bar/restaurant earlier
I was there to order food and while waiting for my delicious ribs, the CBS news was on one of the TV's. And sure enough, there was palin. So I said to nobody in particular, "Why is it that every time I look up at the tv, that bitch is on?"
A guy sitting next to me said, "You better get used to it. She may be the next president." I said, "If so, then I'm gone. Philippines here I come. Because if the people of this country become stupid enough to vote her in then there's no hope for the USA."
The guy said, "Well Obama's not worth a shit."
I asked, "Why?"
He had no answer. Then my food came, I took my ribs home, and we enjoyed a delicious meal.

I see I used a word which may offend some people in here. I apologize if anyone is offended, but that's the way I feel and that's the way it got said. Peace.
