RUSH: Here\u2019s Tom Friedman, he was on Meet the Press, Thomas “Loopy” Friedman. And David Gregory was asking him about Sarah Palin: “She was in Iowa over the weekend dropping hints and making speeches. Will she run, Tom Friedman? There\u2019s still a great deal of interest in Sarah Palin as this political force in the middle of this huge conversation that we\u2019re trying to have.”<\/p>\n
FRIEDMAN: Well, to me personally that\u2019s a sign of the apocalypse, because this woman, everything I hear from her is — has nothing to do with what we argue in our book, the long-term trends of where our country is at. There is no short-term solution. It\u2019s not just getting rid of Obama.<\/p>\n
PALIN: You\u2019ve already withstood the wrath and the disdain and the lies from the media and the permanent political class looking down on us, mocking us, making things up about us, telling us to go to hell. You\u2019ve already withstood that. We\u2019re still standing, right? You\u2019re here today, standing strong, committed to restoring all that\u2019s good about America. It\u2019s with a strong spine that you are still standing. You\u2019re here today, standing tall because you know what is at stake, and it\u2019s our children\u2019s future that is at stake.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Tormenting the media, Sarah Palin, who to Thomas “Loopy” Friedman represents the apocalypse because she won\u2019t go away. And she continued.<\/p>\n
PALIN: We need to hear from those who can do more than just talk, because we tried that, didn\u2019t we, voters? Been there, done that, with a candidate who can just talk but doesn\u2019t have any kind of record of accomplishment and success, successfully reforming those things that are wrong. What we need is we need people with a proven record of reform, and who are willing to take on the tough challenges, to run into danger, if you will not run away from it. We need a pro-growth agenda. (crowd chanting run, Sarah, run) I appreciate your encouragement. I do.<\/p>\n
RUSH: They hate that. They hate when they hear “Run, Sarah, run.” They despise the Tea Party still being optimistic and uplifting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
