Yahoo News : "Sara Palin 'Major Announcement' Flakes Out"
Edited on Tue Sep-06-11 07:44 AM by Stuart G

Sept 4

For all the tea party supporters who showed up in Iowa to hear what Fox News called a "major announcement" from Sarah Palin, perhaps her message should have been "psych." Palin spent a majority of her 40-minute speech thrashing the current administration for its policies and little else.


Only about 2,000 people showed up to hear a Tea Party of America public figure speak about how bad things are in America. At the Restoring America event, Palin said many things she would do. Bloomberg reports Palin wouldn't approve any bailouts yet get rid of corporate income taxes. The former governor of Alaska also said the tea party has been "mocked."

There was rain on a day when Palin showed up at the behest of the Tea Party of America. Even though buses showed up from as far away as Texas and New Mexico, it wasn't enough to show Palin actually meant something to the tea party. Just like Palin's movie entitled "The Undefeated," perhaps it was bad scheduling on the part of conservative politicians.

I saw this story 5 minutes ago at Yahoo News. Yahoo News is a right wing media tool. I have watched them support and
apologize for the Pukes for years. To see this today, almost proves to me, beyond doubt that Sara is being thrown under the bus
by those who used to support her. Today is the 6th,.. this ran two days ago. Still out there this morning...who is keeping this out
there two days past the day of this rally?. The headline uses the term "flakes out"..which contains "flake" which the headline
is trying to sell to those who read...that Sara is now a flake..she wasn't then, but now she is...Obious media slanting against Sara....but from Yahoo News..?

"..only 2000 people showed up..." not good for Sara..I will miss her about as much as I miss the very severe pain from pneumonia I had 35 years ago..yea sure..:sarcasm:

Your time is up...Join the ranks of Ann Coulter...

1. Good, but I think 2000 people weren't there
At least not in any of the photos. It looked more like maybe 200.

And at no point did I see a view of the entire crowd. Just bits and pieces. I wonder how she will adjust to her new found obscurity.
Most people do not do well when they fall from up high.
Some can handle it, others. no.

3. "the tea party has been "mocked.""...
Hmm, I wonder why. They can claim such luminaries as Victoria Jackson (who make Sarah seem like an Einstein)
