We need Palin in the race

If Palin's speech was directed at Perry, then she may be right.  Gov. Perrycampaign brags that he  "Helps Cut Ribbon at Huawei Technologies' New U.S. Headquarters"  http://tinyurl.com/3p55ep6  but according to the Washington Time:  "The Pentagon’s annual report to Congress on China's military, released last month, identifies Huawei as a high-tech company linked to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)." http://tinyurl.com/3txob6a
More. Scott Conroy, RCP, Palin Sends Shot Across GOP Field's Bow in Fiery Iowa Speech. And a Memeorandum thread:  Sarah Palin: America is ‘at a tipping point’:
The country is at a tipping point and “it’s time restore a country that we love,” Palin said. And tea partiers need to fight relentlessly to “restore all that is free and good and right about America.”
Palin read from notes, but ad libbed, too, in a jovial speech laced with razor-edged quips. She painted herself as a sage who saw the country’s credit-rating down grade. Standard & Poor’s, the rating agency, pointed to cited the partisan gridlock as a key factor in the historic decision last month.
Palin said: “When we did finally get slapped then with that big inevitable down grade, the politicians and the pundits they turned around and they blamed us. Independent, common sense conservatives! They called us un-American, and terrorists and suicide bombers, and – hobbits?”
Yes, the real problem was the underlying one--the debt and the spending. Let's hear our other TEA party hero, Rick Santelli take that one on when the jobs number came out ZERO.
