Finally finished banging her bewigged head on the wall over Mitt Romney picking Paul Ryan as his running mate, Sarah Palin had her ghostwriter jot down her response.

"Oh no I'm happy for Ryan don'tcha know. I hope he has the same success I did."

Congratulations to Mitt Romney on his choice of Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate. ("Shoulda been me! Shoulda been me! Shoulda been me!")President Obama has declared that this election is about “two fundamentally different visions” for America. Goodness, he’s got that right. Our country cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama’s fundamentally flawed vision. We must now look to this new team, the Romney/Ryan ticket (Almost but not quite as good as the Romney/Palin team), to provide an alternate vision of an America that is fiscally responsible, strong, and prosperous – an America that understands and is proud of her exceptional place in the world and will respect those who fight to secure that exceptionalism, which includes keeping our promises to our veterans. (Yeah we promised them job security and Obama keeps ending the damn wars!)


When I think about the direction our country is rapidly drifting in, I can’t help but look at California as a cautionary tale. The Golden State once boasted the entrepreneurial innovation of Silicon Valley, the American creative engine of the arts, economically powerful and beautiful cities from San Francisco to San Diego, and fertile farmlands that helped feed the nation. Now it is descending into financial ruin accompanied by an exodus of middle class Californians leaving for other states. As one writer put it, California’s “fastest-growing entity is government and its biggest product is red tape.” ("Sure the governor in charge while this was all happening was a Republican, but he was an ACTOR. Those guys aren't real Republicans like Reagan was...wait...")


Obama’s vision for America will make the rest of the country look like California, minus the beautiful scenery and warm weather. ("Yeah, just ignore the reports of high temperatures across the country this summer, cause global warming is a commie plot.")


Obama’s America is today’s California – complete with $100 billion taxpayer funded bullet trains to nowhere (Editor's note: Actually those trains DO have destinations. Just not ones that Palin can find on a map.); out of control environmental extremists who have destroyed family farms (Editor's note: She means CORPORATE family farms here.) and left some of the most fertile farm land in America fallow in order to protect a three inch fish; permanent high unemployment; government policies hostile to small business job creators; crippling high taxes (Editor's note: Actually federal and state taxes are at historic lows.); an abysmal real estate market (Now on the rebound); bloated government that wastes taxpayer money; endless budget shortfalls due to massive unfunded liabilities (Editor's note: Which were solely due to the two wars and Bush era tax cuts.); city after city declaring bankruptcy; and a state government run by, in the words of one Wall Street Journal writer, “a brothel of environmentalists, lawyers, public-sector unions and legislative bums.” (Did she just raise the issue of prostitution again?)


We can’t afford Obama’s vision. Our children can’t afford it. Today we are over $15 trillion in debt and running up trillion dollar budget deficits year after year for as far as the eye can see (Still the result of Bush tax cuts.). And our “leaders” have no plan to stop it! President Obama and this Congress (Full of Teabaggers SHE helped to elect.) don’t even have the fundamental blueprint—a budget!—to outline where they intend to take us as they merrily roll along with their out of control spending and constant increases of our debt “limit.” Our debt to China alone is more than we can ever hope to pay off in multiple generations. Such debt and dependence on foreign nations weakens us in countless ways. And yet our government keeps on spending despite the risks and despite conscientious, hardworking citizens telling them to just stop it. Our debt is growing by $3 million per minute. This debt, in conjunction with Obama’s massive government over-reaches like Obamacare, has strangled the private sector, which in turn has stifled job growth and slowed all economic growth. The only way to get our country moving again is to get back to basics like normal people do with our home and small business budgets! That means we must live within our means, get government out of the way of our job creators, develop the God-given natural resources we have been blessed with to provide real jobs and real energy security, and stop growing government and wasting taxpayer money on D.C. cronyism and useless stimulus kick-backs for favored donors. (Yeah, like the earmarks that Palin got for Wasilla when she was the mayor, that never seemed to result in any actual projects being completed.)


Barack Obama’s record is one of dismal failure, which is why he isn’t talking about it. (Though of course he is.) He would rather spend his time demonizing his opponents. The simple fact remains that Mitt Romney is not responsible for the dire state of our economy or the corruption and incompetence of the current administration. (Nope, but the same failed Republican policies which he embraces are responsible. Or have we now forgotten George W. Bush?)

Over the next 86 days (She had to remove her shoes to calculate that.), Barack Obama will try to distract us from his record. (No he won't.) Many in the media will roll along with him in this mission. We must not let them continue the deception and distractions, and we must not be afraid to call the President out on his lies. (Which are?) His entire record in office exposes the false promises he made four years ago. (Oh you mean the promises that he made and which the Republicans have blocked at every turn?) So, let’s take a moment to remember what candidate Obama said just four short years ago. 

Candidate Obama promised us fiscal prudence. But President Obama’s reckless spending and lack of fiscal leadership has led to the downgrading of our nation’s credit rating for the first time in history. (Standard & Poor's identified Republican obstructionism for the downgrading of the credit rating. But nice try bitch!)


Candidate Obama decried reckless spending and promised to cut the deficit. But President Obama and those in Congress who control the purse strings and “go along to get along” have tripled it. President Obama’s proposed budget was so absurdly and wildly irresponsible that not one member of Congress, Republican or Democrat, voted in favor of it. And yet the Democrat controlled Senate still refuses to pass a budget itself, and this refusal has been going on for years now. That is irresponsible and, much more, it’s unconstitutional. (Also not the fault of President Obama.)


Candidate Obama promised us a “smarter government,” but President Obama has created a government that’s not too big to fail, but too big to succeed. (Smallest Government spender since Eisenhower.)


Candidate Obama promised us a plan for American energy independence. But President Obama has forced American taxpayers to subsidize bankrupt green energy companies with ties to his campaign donors. And when it comes to the energy we actually use to fuel our economy, President Obama’s administration blocks drilling and drags its feet on the permitting process. Meanwhile, he supports foreign energy developments, but not American made energy development. His administration opposes everything from drilling in ANWR to building the Keystone Pipeline to coal plants, but he’s all for subsidizing offshore drilling in Brazil and sitting back on his thumb while China moves in to pursue oil deals with Canada because his administration blocked responsible energy infrastructure development. (Editors' note: In fact most Americans support green energy solutions, are against fracking for oil, and are very concerned with the dangers of offshore drilling after the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe.)

Lest we forget.

Candidate Obama promised us “the most transparent administration in history.” But in addition to refusing FOIA-requested documents, President Obama’s administration regularly holds meetings outside the White House and off the official White House visitor list with lobbyists and corporate interests they don’t want us to know about. 

Candidate Obama promised to unite all America, but President Obama has cynically divided us again and again in his efforts to win reelection by playing identity politics and class warfare and pitting one group against another. (I'm sorry, Obama did that? Who was fanning racial tensions and claiming he "palled around with terrorists" on the 2008 campaign trail again?) Candidate Obama promised us a “fundamentally transformed” America, and that is the only promise he’s delivered on. We can see now what his idea of “hope” is. Now we want change. He has failed to lead, so We the People must lead. And our leadership starts at the ballot box on November 6th. 

Please continue to focus on the presidential race and on helping Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, but it’s also imperative that we get involved in the nation’s important House and Senate races. These candidates need our help to ensure that our next president has a responsible and ethical Congress that actually gets things done for America. Now on to November!

 - Sarah Palin (Still angry, after all these years.)


You can almost hear her grinding her teeth through the entire thing can't you?

Most of the facts cited by Palin's ghostwriter are either completely wrong or a distortion of the truth. Nothing surprising there, but it does demonstrate how little the Republican have to work with this election cycle.

Essentially all they can do is blame the President for not fixing the economy that it took them eight years to bankrupt, while trying to keep Americans from noticing that THEY are the ones keeping him from doing so.

All Palin is at this point is one more talking head spouting the pre-approved Republican talking points. Her days of being a "Rogue" are now behind her.

Essentially the only thing newsworthy about this Facebook post was that it demonstrated that Palin has recognized that her days of being a political celebrity are over, and that her only hope of staying relevant is to fall in line behind the GOP machine which now supports Mitt Romney.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted, wasn't it old girl?

Perhaps she can take some "postage" and get a butt lift, or a skin peel, or something, just to make herself feel a little less like a loser. Which of course now EVERYBODY knows is exactly what she is.
