Sarah Palin’s CPAC Keynote: ‘Time To Drain The Jacuzzi And Throw The Bums Out With The Bathwater’

video
» 336 comments

Sarah Palin took the stage tonight with plenty of anticipation preceding her– after bowing out of a potential presidential run, Palin has taken something of a backseat to an increasingly unexpected series of characters at the helm of the Republican Party, and she returned in the rare form that made her a star in 2008. Shouting down Occupy protesters, making punchlines out of Obama Campaign slogans, and winning over a crowd that spent a year trying to warm up to Mitt Romney.

RELATED: O’Reilly Warns Palin: ‘It’s Too Late’ For Republicans To Stop The Negative Attacks

The speech began with a rousing greeting of “Happy Birthday” for the governor, who thanked the organization. There was little time to dabble in formalities, however, but plenty of time to revel in the joy of riding Harley Davidsons for the troops with Rolling Thunder, and Todd Palin‘s snowmobile adventures. But after a bit of that, she went straight to praising the convention and the conservative movement. “Conservatives wanted not so much government, but the Republicans to hear us… the conservative movement has not been brighter.”

Her biggest applause line, by far, was a rhyme about Americans being united: “We aren’t red Americans, we aren’t blue Americans, we are red white and blue Americans and, President Obama, we are through with you!” The government, she continued, was “too big to succeed, to big to ignore and too big to bare anymore,” and after a flurry of “yes we cans” and “change we can believe ins,” Palin was almost interrupted by a small band of Occupy people that tried to mic check her. She quickly began chanting “USA!” along with a very loud crowd, a chant that continued as “Sarah! Sarah!” until security led the protesters out. “You just won,” she told the crowd, following one of the more elegant rejection of Occupy protest aesthetic since the movement’s inception. “You see how easy that is?”

She went back shortly after that to President Obama, joking about the Winning the Future slogan (“WTF, I know”) and joking that the Democrats’ plans were implausible– “and I’m the idiot!” She then discussed foreign policy, getting a couple of applause lines out of attacking President Obama for being weak. “We will never apologize for America’s strength and our greatness… we refuse to accept that a weak America means a better and safer world.” She also attacked “crony capitalism,” basking President Obama for “the capitalism of connections” and warning the Occupy Movement: “you’re occupying the wrong place; you’re protesting the wrong thing.” As for the White House, she used a “jacuzzi” metaphor and called for Republicans to “we drain the jacuzzi and throw out the bums with the bathwater.”

“I came from a state with the corruption problem, too,” she said, while calling President Obama a “Chicago politician” and distinguishing herself for having fought the machine, and mocking the President for singing “Let’s Stay Together” at a fundraiser. She ended with a call for more competition among Republicans, to cull out a “Commander in Chief worthy of our troops.”

    The dimwit will only stay in her comfort zone. She quit on Alaskans, then she chickened out from running for the nomination. Now, she decided to come out and speak at CPAC, as if she was at all relevant to the race. She endorsed Gingrich, who’ll be out of the race after Super Tuesday, unless, the billionaire casino mogul keeps feeding his campaign $5 million at a time. It’s more likely that Newt gives her the front seat on the bus bound for the lunar colony on the Moon, where they both can live happily ever afer.

    You are on a thread, praising Palin, and have the audacity to say “this is how a liberal thinks”?!

    Enemies will always exist.  Sun will rise, sun will set.  Earth will spin on its axis around the Sun.  Pathetic conservatives will ignore every hypocrisy of The Grifting Half-Term Governor.

    But I remember a few years ago when Cons/Repubs were screeching about how weak Democrats were on the War on Terror, Defense, etc.? 

    Yet the Obama Admin has demonstrated that a Democrat President is the bad-ass-mofo that took out Bin Ladin, al-Awlaki, etc.  His body count of nabbing/killing terrorists began as early as August 2009.  Anyone recall what Fake Cowboy President was doing the August after he took the oath of office?

    Fortunately, your POV is becoming a relic of Americana.

    For once I would like details and facts to go with the talking points

    EX: Attacking the president for foreign policy? What exactly, specifically has he done that makes the country so weak in terms of foreign relations? By general accounts, and from what i saw when i traveled abroad, people actually respect the US again
    Plus theres the whole Navy Seal Operations that took out Bin Laden, the Samauli Pirates, the drone strikes that took out awlaki, the no fly zone that enabled lybians to over throw a dictator without it costing the life of one american soldier.
    Sorry Sarah but this is what I mean about enforcing stereotypes,  foreign policy, even by the admission of bill o reilly and Sean Hannity, is something that would be foolish to call the president out on and it just enforces the view of independent voters that republicans are making straw men arguments and don’t seem to know what they are talking about.
    Lets face facts, the only one with experience  with foreign policy was Huntsman, and hes gone. 

    There are things that one can attack the president on, but to do something so boneheaded like attacking his foreign policy as weak or inept, when considering the facts, looks incredibly ridiculous and raises questions if people understand the current issues or this is another case of twisting facts to suit theories.

    I will tell you right now its stuff like this that makes independent voters shake their heads

    She sticks to the facts? Like Paul Revere ringing those bells to warn the British? Like “death panels” in the healthcare bill? Like referring to the Dept. of Law in the WH? We’re not talking innocent gaffes, here, we’re talking a woman who doesn’t know basic US history. A woman who ran for VP after she admitted she didn’t know what the VP did. A woman who quit her elected office so she should cash in. This woman deals in bitterness, hate, lies, distortions, and divisive rhetoric. And no, I am not criticizing her personally. I am not attacking her family. I am not a “hater”. I, too, have the utmost concern for my country. And Sarah Palin is a charlatan. She takes money from her followers for no other reason than to spend it. On herself. She doesn’t even have the moral conviction to endorse a member of her own party for President. John Zeigler, one of her staunchest supporters, has written how he was taken in by her. Sarah Palin is not interested in serving the people of the United States. Sarah Palin is interested in one thing, and that is Sarah Palin.

     The Democrats worship no political leader, nor do we consider the president to be a Messiah. That would be ridiculous. We certainly do not all agree with  him all the time, but we support him and respect him as our duly elected leader. We believe that he is a good person who genuinely has the best interests of the country in mind at all times. We do not expect him to be flawless and we understand that fair criticism is part of the political process.

     She is divisive for anyone who thinks for themselves. Sarah Palin has nothing to offer the country, no solutions, ideas or policies. All she can do is repeat the same old talking points over and over and over. And bash the president. She is incapable of giving him the respect his office deserves, or giving him credit for the many positive things he has accomplished. You know, hardly anyone is all bad. Yet listening to Sarah Palin, the president has never done one positive thing in his life. She doesn’t even begin to understand that her negativity reflects badly on her, not the president.

     The specifics ARE important. She continually bashes the president, but only offers tired cliches as solutions (“commonsense conservatism”). It’s important because she portrays herself as knowledgeable, but the lack of specifics prove she lacks knowledge and understanding of complex issues. If you’re responding to her tone instead of what she says, well, that’s exactly what she wants you to do. She wants to distract you with the pretty face and the short skirt and the fiery rhetoric so that you don’t notice she has nothing to say.

    Then you must be particularly outraged at this nation’s red states – the original welfare queens – for their utterly unprincipled tendency to accept far more in “our” tax money than they contribute.

    “You lefties might take note that not one time did she speak about taking somebody’s money to give to deadbeat layabouts in the name of ‘fairness’.”

    Um, really?!  

    This woman was the governor of a state that receives $1.81 from the federal government for every $1 it contributes in federal taxes.  For two years, she was one of this nation’s Welfare-Queens-in-Chief.

    Do pray tell though, friend – if you are so outraged by the concept of taking “somebody’s money” and giving it to “deadbeats,” why don’t you direct your principled outrage to the 90% of red states that receive more from the government than they contribute?  

    You must, on the other hand, be a *huge* fan of blue states, which almost uniformly contribute more in federal taxes than they receive in federal funds (obviously – who else’s teat could those red welfare states be suckling at?!)

    It goes to culture I think. On a farm, the family often must know how to do everything and respond to everything. Being highly trained and certified in water filtration technologies may be nice but a smart and sensible rancher could get the job done as well as a certified technician without the dedication in time and expense. Common sense can go a long way for those who have a talent for it, and Sarah had been doing just fine according to Alaskan Democrats literally up to the day after she was chosen as VP. Did she change overnight, or did Dem hatred flash overnight? I think the answer is obvious, as I’m sure you do as well, though we surely disagree on the answer. I think that reflects more negatively on Democrat lemmings than her deficiencies reflect poorly on herself.

    Attendance to CPAC required pre-registration and payment. Everyone in the room was checked prior to being admitted – correct?  There was security at CPAC, right? Entrance to the conference room was controlled – right?  How would anyone not having a lanyard pass or ticket, having properly registered have gotten into said room if they had not been verified at the door?
    Or were there so few genuine CPAC attendees in the room for Palin’s speech that they had no choice but to open the doors to the protesters to fill the seats?  UNLIKELY.  If anything, security would have been tightened-up for Palin’s speech.

    Have you ever looked into Reagan’s history on the Nation Debt or in his deficit spending record.  He may have lowered taxes initially, but once he saw how the debt was growing from his cuts, he raised the taxes.  Look up Reagan and the National Debt in Wikipedia.  If you believe their not accurate, look it up at another site that uses facts and has a reputable reputation.  You’ll find you don’t have a unrealistic picture of his administration.

     And that slide from favor may eventually hurt her financially, particularly in her pitch for another “reality” TV show.Hollywood Reporter put it this way recently:“So far, networks have balked at the steep asking price…. Another obstacle is Palin’s waning status as a cultural lightning rod. The former Alaska governor burst onto the scene as the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate with a compelling personal storyline and outspoken conservatism that made her the darling of the right and a target of the left, helping her land a $1 million annual contract with Fox News.….

    Oh, yes, please, find her a candidate. Every one she endorses flames out. The tea party base is nonexistent. The Kochs are out there, tearing down states one by one, but I think they have little use for Sarah. Anyone who bashes the Democrats fires up CPAC…lies get applause. Truth hurts. 

  • Sally

    As opposed to Palin, who steals from her PAC, lies about her record, and cheated Americans out of single payer health care with her lies about ‘death panels?’ 

  • Sally

    The OWS protesters bought tickets to her speech. Read up on it.

  • Sally

    Don’t tell her, but no true blue American can support the GOP’s war on women, war on workers, war on public education, and war on the poor. No  Christian either. So she can wave her fake flag and hold up the Bible she hasn’t read, but it won’t change the fact that the GOP has alienated every group in the country except the KKK, very wealthy white males, and illiterate Fox viewers. Don’t think you can win many elections with that demographic. And Sarah, we don’t care a ‘hill of beans’ about whatever pisses you off today.

  • Sally

    Just shows that she is used to the finer things in life, courtesy of SARAHPAC. No need for her to bathe a baby anywhere, or use a regular old tub. Not our Sarah.

  • Sally

    What did she say that was positive? “USA USA!?” Someone else started that chant and she joined in. Otherwise, all I heard were complaints about everything.

    Talk to me, if he gets elected again, and he leads down the road to progressive destruction. He is the most passive leader, I say leader with tongue in cheek, in the history of our republic. he leads like the end of a fishing line with a hook on it, sinking in the water and drowning us. He is weak and cannot make solid decisions. he has never held a job that contributed to the wealth of the economy and he can’t communicate without a teleprompter. He is a waste of time these last four years and doesn’t deserve to be elected as a dog catcher.

    She has already demonstrated her process at handling fiscal and economic policies.  During her tenure as Governor, Alaska’s credit rating rose from virtually junk to AAA and she amassed large savings accounts and left the state with a large surplus of $12B.  History will record that it was during Obama’s watch that the US lost it AAA rating for the first time.

    Let’s talk about who created that victim card. As I recall the Clintons, (Gasp) that meandering facsimile of Newt did not divorce. They had a true sense of family values. On the other hand meandering Newt, after divorcing wife I and had her sign the divorce agreement the morning after cancer surgery, continued to meander. Newt married wife II and the meandering continued and he married wife III. Newt’s new wife has a better chance of living iif she were wed to Henry VIII than of being divorced by Newt. For the uninformed Henry VIII had six wives, and it is commonly believed he had them all beheaded. The truth is he only beheaded 3 of his six wives so a woman who married Henry VIII had a 50/50 chance of surviving while Newt’s first two marriages ended in divorce and Newt’s recent wife must feel she is laying under the Sword of Damacles. Newt fractions are 2 out of three in the divorce league and probably will get to batting a thousand Now don’t forget how sanctimonious Newt went around the country castigating Clinton for meandering. The pot calling the kettle black.

    But let us get back to victim’s.
    1. Clinton left Bush an inheritance of a half billion.
    2. Bush quickly squandered that on the first tax break for the wealthy.
    3. Bush got us into a war in Afghanistan, when yeoman detective work would have worked just as well. A war fought on a supplemental budget (credit card).
    4. Bush got us into an unnecessary war with Iraq. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.
    5. Bush did not listen to the IAEA who were searching for wmds in Iraq.
    6. Bush preemptively attacked a nation had no terrorists on the 9/11 planes.
    7. The Iraq War was also funded by a supplemental budget. (see 3).
    8. Bush gave another unfunded tax break for the wealthy while at war.
    9. Bush raised the National Debt Limit 7 times out of the 8 years he served.
    10. Buswh created an unfunded medical plan.
    11. Bush did not accomplish the mission.
    12. Bush did not get Osama Bin Laden neither alive or dead.
    13. The unemployment rate rose under Bush leadership.
    14. The economy collapsed under Bush leadership.
    15. A quote that will go down in history as the dumbest quote to come out of any war was made by a Bush Secretary of Defense. “When you go to war, you go with the army you got, not the one you want”. Perhaps Rums was unaware this was a preemptive war. A preemptive war is one where you decide where, when and what you are to attack. You decide the type of forces and equipment needed, the major objectives to be taken. And you make sure our wounded troops are not living in rat and cockroach infested hospital buildings.

    I could go on but I am a hunt and pecker typist, and I tire of trying to educate the uneducable. But I must leave you with this synopsis, all of the above were cans kicked down the to be resolved by others and you have the audacity to call these problem solvers crybaby victims while you praise the worthlessness of those who created those problems..

    You should check your facts.  I will deal with only one of your misrepresentations.  The Bush tax cut did not squander any “surplus” that Clinton left.  It is a proven fact that tax cuts produce more revenue and this did as well.  It is such a well-known fact that even clueless Barry stated, when reminded of the fact that tax cuts produced more revenue, that he really didn’t care about that but wanted to raise taxes on upper incomes out of a sense of “fairness” (Fairness?  That’s a laugh since the upper income earners already pay the lion’s share of the revenue that the Fed receives while the bottom half pays zero, zich, nada).

    I lied, I’m going to mention another matter since your stupidity is eating at me.  You seem to think we should not have gone to Afghanistan.  Are you really that stupid?  Clinton failed to respond to al Qaida attacks on US interests and they continued resulting in 9-11.  Since the incursion into Afghanistan there has not been a successful attack.  Apparently you think the US should just sit back and be a punching bag for whoever wants to attack.  You’re an idiot !!

    Teabaggers?   Were we discussing Democrats?  They are the true teabaggers.  I remember when I first heard/read the term I had to google it since it was totally unfamiliar (They were applying it to Tea Partiers).  It should be obvious that those who are familiar with a term and use it regularly are those who use the term so you MUST be talking about Democrats.

    Good God, you are delusional.  Look at ANY graph charting out the deficit with and without those budget-busting tax cuts. The best thing that could happen for our deficit is for Congress not to do anything and let them all expire.

    I am a conservative but I am afraid I must agree with your last statement. I have never seen, in any board, such meaningless, playground-worthy back and forth verbal volleys. Both liberals and conservatives are embarrassing themselves here.

    As far as Sarah Palin…she was giving a speech at a conservative conference, so is her content really that shocking? Come on…Maxine Waters did the same at a constituents meeting when she said the Tea Party should “go to hell”. I’m from Houston, and Sheila Jackson Lee does the same thing just about every time she opens her mouth. Even Obama embarrassed himself with that “back of the bus” comment.

    Felix,

    All that truly necessary? I’m a conservative and a minority…you’re going to label me a bigot as well? I am well read and try to engage liberals in reasonable discussion. I try not to resort to name calling, although I’ll be the first to admit my emotion can get the best of me from time to time. You are definitely testing my tolerance, but I will put away the sword and take the higher ground.

    Liberals in the limelight are just as guilty of provocative statements as those on the right. It’s the age of the sound bite, and that means reasonable discourse goes out the window. The better the sound bite, the higher the speaker fees, the bigger the book royalties, the longer the time in the limelight. We spend our lives bitching at each other while Rome burns. And instead of finding common ground, we all gravitate to our echo chambers where we bounce the same opinions and stances off each other. Conservatives are turned into hateful, raging bigots and liberals are turned into radical, commie pinkos. And the sound bite cannons in the media laugh all the way to the bank. Pathetic.

    Yes, Palin was only half right as to geographical locations. There is a Concord, New Hampshire but for some reason does not lay claim to “the shot fired that was heard round the world.” Just like all her ideas they are only half baked if they deserve to be baked at all.
