Sarah Palin to Chris Christie: ‘Real Courage Is Cutting Spending When There’s A Surplus’

video
» 93 comments

It took several bloody revolutions in the Middle East, a Mike Huckabee social conservative firestorm, and the mythical tiger blood of Charlie Sheen, but for a good month there, Sarah Palin was at the margins of the news world. In her time off it appears she has been strategizing on what battles to pick going into 2012– if she is going into 2012– and has focused her (strictly metaphorical) crosshairs on at least one potential candidate: NJ governor Chris Christie.

On Fox Business’ America’s Nightly Scoreboard broadcast, Palin made an appearance from Alaska to talk about the Republican field going into the next year. Asked specifically about comments Christie made that he did not find himself inspired by any of the potential candidates out there, she replied that, unlike Christie, “heck yeah” she was inspired by “all these common sense conservative politicians willing to serve and cut [spending] for the right reasons.” Then she took a minute to stake her claim for why Christie wasn’t “courageous,” unlike her (“with all due respect”):

“He has no choice but to cut budgets because he’s broke, his state is broke. What courage really is is, in the face of having a surplus, when you have an opportunity to spend spend spend other people’s money, that you still choose to rein in government, to let the private sector soar. That’s real courage. And, by the way, that’s what I did here [in Alaska].”

It didn’t end there. Asked if Christie inspired her, she didn’t give a yes or no but, rather, answered that her inspiration comes from “tea party patriots” around the country. Palin may or may not run, but she is showing signs she is getting mighty territorial about who inspires who in the Tea Party.

    The half term nit-wit bailed on Alaska and now this idiot is attacking arguably the most popular politician in the GOP? Only those that support this idiot are dumber than she is.

  • rover37

    Sarah Palin did more for Alaska in 2 years than Obama has done for the people in his lifetime. People forget when she was Gov before the MSM got a hold of her and ruined her political career she was the most popular Gov in the US with close to 80% approval and she did exactly what she preaches in the interview. She cut across the board and AK had one of the largest surpluss of any state. What did Obama do before coming to DC? His vote was PRESENT most of the time in the Senate … he did nothing but campaign his entire life in politics.

    That didn’t take long. You’ve proved my point without really trying, of course.

    Christie would destroy this woman in a debate. The Primaries should be pretty interesting.

    HAHAHAHHAAHA!

    Alaska is the easiest state in the union to run. It ALWAYS runs in a SURPLUS.

    She is NOTHING but PURE COMEDY and you CLOWNS that support her are even more LAUGHABLE!!!

    She never said she was agaisnt CHRISTIE, she has said before she likes him. What she said is teh thruth… its a lot harder to cut when cuts aretn needed, rather than cut when you dont have a choice. She said nothing wrong… and was just taking a little swipe after the swipe he took at ehr last week.

    She is not running the state now..who cares what they think of her…. what mattered is what they thought of her when she was gov. And when she was gov.. she was the most popular Gov in the united states.She took on big oil and ousted teh msot popualr Gov in the states history. Haters can hate all they want NOW… but they cant erase teh FACTS when she was on the job. … FACTS speak for themselves the MSM rants are just that rants…she has pretty much suceeded at everthign she has tried.. that is fact. She was pretty much the talking head of the tea party … and the tea party is pretty much running DC now….Obama cant and wont get anything passed b/c the tea party has teh house by the balls.

    My money is on a conservative split and two separate candidates on the right. The fracture is deep.

    It was inevitable the immature Palin attacked Christie.

    She never forgets a slight.

    I’m just surprised it took her so long (2 weeks).

    What anybody who has followed Palin the last few years comes to understand is that everything is deeply personal with her. If someone even comes close to crossing her she attacks that person with fire and sword. Her book detailing her experience in the 2008 experience was filled with rough shots at campaign aides.
    Recently, Christie made the comment that a presidential candidate needs to have some “unscripted moments” when the voters get to see who you really are. He had made a previous dig at Palin as well over her unwillingness to give more interviews in less hospitable settings.
    Poltics is a blood sport. And for Sarah Palin this never means to rise above personal criticism, but to always take things to a deeply negative, personal level. This is how she operates.
    It doesn’t matter that Christie is the most popular Republican in the country right now. What matters is that he targeted Palin albeit mildly in my point of view with some criticism. And I would argue that if she had taken this criticism as constructive criticism some time ago her poll numbers would not be so poor.
    Nevertheless, any substance behind what Christie was saying is immaterial. For Palin everything is personal so despite Christie’s enormous popularity or actually stardom in the Republican Party the fact that he made some mild criticism of Palin means that he is now someone for her to attack as an enemy.

    Yes. I have noticed that Obama is forever campaigning, and does not make a move unless there is a political benefit. If you look beyond the nice speaking voice, he is an empty shell.

    I don’t have time to do a thorough analysis now, but has anyone discovered a pattern to when Ms. Palin uses the lake as a backdrop and when she uses the fireplace? A quick glance over some of the previous stills makes me think that it could simply be a matter of daytime vs nighttime, but I’d be interested to know if she’s using the backgrounds to send a subtle message.

  • http://twitter.com/SailRabbits Magister

    PS) And I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that, it’s something I might do.

  • wmg

    She cut across the board all right; everything she didn’t approve of, like funding medical care for the Inuit population of the state, or funding for education to protect teens against STD’s or pregnancy (which became more than a little ironic as it turned out).
    She did see fit to fund herself for living in her own house, which just shows what real courage is all about.
    The woman is a fraud.
    Worse, she is a self-deluded fraud.
    Is there no one on the conservative side with even an iota of credibility?

    You’re exactly right. Sarah Palin is the victim. If it weren’t for Katie Couric she would have remembered a Supreme Court case or would have known what she read. If it weren’t for Nicole Wallace she would have performed better during the 2008 election. Someone who can rise above fair or unfair criticism and show true leadership in the process. That is Sarah Palin. You betcha!!

    Thanks. Though, I thought she’s used an indoor space and I assumed it had been the fireplace, but again, I haven’t really looked and just wondered if she’s realized the lake/mountain communicates her Americanness and and air of rigid individuality, while the fireplace should make people feel warm and perhaps consider her contemplative.

    It is really very sad. Instead of honing her knowledge of the issues, Palin and her people have placed a disproportionate amount of their attention over staging and theatrics. She has spent most of her time over the last year trying to convince America that she is a true american outdoors woman as demonstrated most prominently through her failed reality TV show. Sarah Palin was given a unique opportunity after the 2008 election to defy her critics by developing expertise over serious domestic and international issues. For whatever reason, she didn’t buckle down to develop a more firm grasp over the pressing issues this country faces. She completely blew it.

    She didint cost Mccain any votes…if you look at the rear STATS and not the MSM crap his apporval rating went up after her nomination and stayed above where he was at before during the entire election. That is the facts. The other bofus slam is her quitting and who would blame her… at the time of her quitting she had over 15 lawsuits that were filed agaisnt ehr fromt he left…. and she ahd already been through 12 which she was cleared in all of them… bu the problem was she could only use state funds in 30% of them… it would ahve bankrupted her and she would have been in court every week. She was nver found guilty in any lawsuit… NONE. All of them were bogus and she was broke and literaly couldnt defend herself anymore.. her only way out was to quit. Smart move… the LT Gov could spend 100% of the time on the state, not 20% like she woud. And she made a empire for herslef immediatelt to replenish her familys funds the left took away for defending bogus lawsuits every week.

    Obama told the people of Illinois when he QUIT his job as a United States senator: “Piss on you! I quit”.

    Both times he persued his own self-interest. If he had had any confidence he would have RESIGNED. But NO,
    he figured that if people are smart enough to see that he is an empty suit and don’t elect him, he can always go back to be “PRESENT” in his usual gutless way.

    His vacillation on any given topic as President is just the repetition of his “PRESENT” votes in the senates, where he ‘served’.

    Obama told the people of Illinois when he QUIT his job as a United States senator: “Piss on you! I quit”.

    You’re right. I’ve seen a lot of dumbass RWers on here that just repeat what Fox or Limbaugh says or they read on some idiotic RW blog and think it’s the real truth.

    Dingbat was on Fox Saturday night saying Obama should invade Libya with “boots on the ground.”
    Being totally serious on this, I still can’t imagine how any person can take this woman serious.

    Sarah blowing her horn without presenting facts

    In 2005, AK received $1.84 in fed funding for each $1 paid in federal tax – and this added to revenue from oil sales. NJ received $0.61 (good for them), and “libtard” CA received $0.78 so both were supporting AK.

    It’s easy to cut down others, but remember their citizens might be helping your state (Tea Partiers NEED to be aware of this when chanting “shrink the fed”).

    I’m all for “shrinking fed spending” – states should get no more and no less fed funding than they pay in fed tax – if so, NJ would likely be running a surplus. Sarah owes NJ a lot of money…

    The little woman from Wasilla smacks the big fat guy….

    I hope Christie decides to enter the race and cuts the Hamlet routine. If he does, he is going to have a lot of ‘splaining to do. Not just the Ground Zero mosque, Mike Castle, cap and tax and assorted other poison pills, but his very sordid record as U.S. Attorney in New Jersey. Until I began to read up on him, I had no idea of the extent of his double dealing with no bid contracts to other prosecutors who did him and his corrupt brother official favors.

    As usual, Sarah Ps ego is front and foreward. “And by the way, thats what I did here in Alaska.” What a load of bull crap. She did nothing good for Alaskans, she spent all her time trying to destroy the reputation of many of them.
    The woman is a disgrace. She’s nothing but a greed monger. She manages to convince others to pay her outrageous fees to speak, and when she does, nobody knows what she’s saying. And people still want this idiot running the country? Give your heads a shake.

    real john, you must also listen to Fox and Limbaugh. Otherwise, how would you know anyone is repeating what they said?

    It’s really the ‘Voices’ inside ‘Little ‘T’s’ head.

    so the attention hog palin can’t stand the fact that someone else is taking her limelight in the conservative movement? what a surprise.

    A neighbor was telling me about this program on TV that he really hates. I said, “Why don’t you just watch something else?” He said, “Wait. You can do that?”

    Palin says “that you still choose to rein in government, to let the private sector soar. That’s real courage. And, by the way, that’s what I did here [in Alaska].”

    D’ya mean, Sarah, the way you left little Wasilla who was in the black before your tenure, $11,000,000 in the hole? That took real courage, didn’t it?

    By reining in government and give full licence for the private sector to “soar”, meaning to deregulate it, will result in more disasters like the mine cave-ins, the bank problems, capping of greedy CEO money grabs, and the BP spill due to lack of enforcement of regulations or straight deregulation. It also means that the companies can profit even more than they do now at the expense of the worker who will be relegated to a position not unlike those at the turn of the century, used and discarded.

    True, unions are often out of line in their demands, but there should be a happy medium, wherein both the employer and the employee benefit. Mandatory arbitration works well and seems to be a feasible alternative.

    Would have to ask Todd about this. He’s probably sleeping on the sofa because Barracuda Barbie is always pissed at something. Can’t imagine living with such a whiney, vindictive person.

    Real courage is not quitting your job as Governor mid-term. When the going got tough, Sarah threw in the towel.

    If Palin’s objective was a 2012 run for POTUS, then she would have been better off finishing her term as governor and simply announcing that she would not re-run for office. The explanation that she gave for leaving office prematurely was as convoluted as it was disingenuous (translation — a heaping pile of BS).

    To quit after 2 1/2 years in her first term as governor suggests a person who cannot multitask, handle the pressures that come with the job (working with the legislature, dealing with the press, etc), and someone who is more interesting in making an easy buck selling books filled with self-righteous, petty, vindictive anecdotes, being in the spotlight, giving speeches and providing interviews laden with shallow, snarky talking points, and waving to the crowds at tea party gatherings than she is in being a serious political force.

    I believe, in all fairness to the citizens of America, we should list the gross income amount reported to the IRS each year by every tax payer in America and place it on a special register or chart allowing it to be viewed on the internet. This way, no one can sway another with miss-information or rhetoric trying to obtain special advantages while in negotiations or communication in the Senate or House of Representatives. This would also be very accurate information for State, County and Cities to deal fairly with one another and people hired to work for these Government agencies. Anyone who is against this idea could possibly feel it would prevent him from using miss-information or rhetoric to gain unfair advantage for him and/or his colleagues. This would be transparencies at its best.
    The best non-personal way of handling the above suggestion would be to list, on a register or chart to be posted on the internet all incomes between 0 to $50,000.00 annually, how many incomes are between $50,000.00 and $100,000.00, how many incomes are between $100,000.00 and $250,000.00, how many incomes are between $250,000.00 and $500,000.00, how many incomes are between $500,000.00 and $2,000.000.00, how many incomes are between 2,000,000.00 and $1,000,000,000.00. Plus how many are above $1,000,000,000.00 annually. This information could be beneficial for many small businesses since many of them are catering to various clienteles in need of merchandise that they may offer. Governments are a business and would benefit also, College students could set their sights on where they want to be in the future. Many benefits are here but may scare those set in their ways.
    Besides posting the annual amounts, we could post the trade or position held in each category.
    People are more reasonable on all sides when true facts are presented.
