Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin fired a shot at the Federal Reserve in her coming-out speech in Hong Kong today, blaming the central bank for the current crisis and disagreeing with the idea that the Fed should have a greater role in preventing the next crisis. It was an echo of fellow Republican and Texas congressman Ron Paul, who has led the charge in Congress to perform an audit of the Federal Reserve with an eye to eventually eliminating it.
Sarah Palin addresses Asian investors.“How can we discuss reform without addressing the government policies at the root of the problems? The root of the collapse? And how can we think that setting up the Fed as the monitor of systemic risk in the financial sector will result in meaningful reform?” she said. “The words ‘fox’ and ‘henhouse’ come to mind. The Fed’s decisions helped create the bubble. Look at the root cause of most asset bubbles, and you’ll see the Fed somewhere in the background.”
Maybe Palin isn’t a nutjob? Nah, never mind I said that.
No!!!! She just played into the Fed’s hands and undermined all of Ron Paul’s hard work. Nobody will take HR1207 seriously now!
“Why not just go for Ron Paul. He actually has a real working brain, and is prepared to use it.”
I would soooo love to. If ever I see his name on my ballot he gets my vote. Of course some would say I’m throwing my vote away, that voting for a third-party candidate only strengthens the dem candidate. I so tire of that mantra.
Ron Paul is also anti-war, anti military industrial complex and wants christian nut cases poking around in our bedrooms. Generally the jesus freak contingent in the GOP doesn’t like Ron Paul much for this.
…is that a straitjacket she’s wearing?
Why the HELL is Palin speaking in behalf of the US anyway?! She’s not a former elected official of any note. Alaska’s governor, for half a term, doesn’t really cut it. Who’s putting her on this world tour? The Republican party? They REALLY must not want to win, again, in 2012. If they’re keeping her career alive.
As for Ron Paul. I’d vote for him for Prez. But I don’t want to see him assassinated, should he choose to make a difference. And not see him made ineffectual, by taking him out of a more productive position, that he’s in now. Presidents only do what they’re told they can do. And what they’re told they can say.
A feminine Reagan.. Good looking broad with big tits as the republican controller’s spokesperson. Well show those democrat liberal bastards with their black guys out front. Half the country is female and the other half want a president they could crawl in the sack with.

Nope, it’s a nursing smock.
