Live Blogging Sarah Palins speech from the National Teaparty Convention

Update: Here is the whole speech on Video

She should be starting within the next five minutes:

Here we go!

Andrew Bribart is giving her a great intro!

“She irks the right people, the right way”

“This woman has sold millions of books and was on the New York Times Bestsellers list, she is a true courageous leader….Sarah Palin!”

Thunderous Applause!

I am so proud to be an American!  Do you love your Freedom?  Thanks and salutes Military.

Happy Birthday Ronald Reagan!

Welcome C-Span viewers, you may not be welcome to the health care debate, but you are welcome to the Teaparty!

America is ready for another Revolution.

It is so inspiring to see real people….  come out and stand up and speak out for common sense conservative principles!

Shoutout to Scott Brown!

Scott Brown represents what this movement is all about.

It has been so funny to watch the aftermath of that election.

When you are 0 for 3 you better stop lecturing and start listening…

Liberal left running scared.  Voters are going to hold them accountable.

We’ve got some big problems to solve.

The future looks really good because if their is hope in Massachusetts, there is hope everywhere.

Competition makes us work harder.

Contested primaries aren’t civil war, they are democracy at work.

Put your Faith in Ideas.  Caution against this movement being defined by any one leader or politician. 

This is about the People!

This is about the people and it’s bigger than any king or queen and its bigger than any guy with a teleprompter.

They saw, they were concerned and they got involved.

In recent weeks many of us are even more concerned about our National Security.

Americans deserve to know the truth about the threats.

National Security is one place where you’ve gotta call it like it is.

On Christmas Day, the system did not work.

What followed was equally disturbing.  Only questioned him for fifty minutes, and then read him his miranda rights.

There are questions we would have liked answered before he lawyered up.

The events surrounding the Christmas Day Plot are the same as those that existed before 9-11.  Treating this like a mere law enforcement matter….we need a Commander in Chief, not a Law Professor standing at the lecturn.

Where is the Presidents support for those who are fighting for Freedom in Iran.

We need a foreign policy that distinguishes Americas Friends from her Enemies.

We need a strong National Defense.  Peace through strength.

Its time for more than tough talk.  Talk, talk, talk….tired of hearing the talk.

Its time for some tough actions, like sanctions on Iran.  And America must stand for Freedom and Democracy.

Democracies don’t go to war with each other.

As Kennedy said: All of the world’s problems aren’t his predecessors faults.

Paul Ryan – the 700 billion dollar TARP has become a slush fund.

92% of those bailed out still have their jobs.

I joined with other conservative governors to reject those dollars.  Legislators threatened lawsuits and vetos were overridden.

Biden in charge of oversight of the money, because nobody messes with Joe…

How’s that Hopey Changey stuff workin’ out for ya?

The transparency meeting was closed to the public.

Some of that money ended up in districts that don’t even exist.

Ten million was spent to update the stimulus web site.

These uses of stimulus funds sound wasteful.

It’s now closer to 870 Billion dollars.

One number we are sure of is 9.7%  Underemployment is 16%

The list of broken promises is LONG.

Candidate Obama promised to end no bid contracts.  Last month he promised a no bid to a democratic donor.

40 lobbyists work at the top level of the Obama Administration.

5 days to review bills online.  Nope.

Washington has broken trust with the people.

Many of us have had enough.

The foundational principles in all of this, it’s really easy to understand…

This is all pretty simple stuff…

We live within our means.

3.8 trillion dollar budget.

Gernerational Theft, we’re stealing these opportunities from our children.

Freedom Lovers around the country need to understand that this makes us less free, more beholden to other countries and less secure.

Here’s some advice for those who want to shine in the greatest show on earth.

Put government back on the side of the people.

Washington, lower taxes for Mom and Pop businesses.

Support competition, reward hard work, get Government out of the way.

Red reset button.  Let’s get it back from Putin and hand it off to Congress.

Insurance purchases across state lines and tort reform.

We need an “all of the above” approach to energy problems.

Cut Spending, don’t just slow down, kill the plans for the second stimulus, and be aware that the second stimulus is being called a “jobs bill”.

I have spent the last year thinking about how can I best serve?

How can we best serve?

You don’t need an office or a title or a leader to progress this movement…

That is what we’re fighting for, and that is what this movement is all about.

I applaud democrats like Bart Stupak.  When we can work together we will.

When what is happening in Washington Violates the constitution, we will stand up.

The government that governs least, governs best.

The Constitution Provides the way to A More Perfect Union.

Only limited government can expand prosperity for all.

It is worth fighting for.

Americans finest, our men and women in uniform are the best and brightest around the world and that is nothing to apologize for.

These are enduring truths.

We are the keepers of a tradition of sacred trust.

Issue oriented debate.

Today I ask only this:

Let’s make this movement a tribute to the good people of America.

Let us not get bogged down in small squabbles.  Let us get caught up in the Big Ideas.

Children with special needs are welcomed into this world.

The best of America are places where Patriots are Free to stand up and speak up.

We know that our best days are yet to come.

Teaparty Nation we know that this movement is about the people and for the people.

That is what this movement is about.

Thanks for being part of the salution and God Bless the USA!
