But her post-speech interview was even more galling than the speech written for her.
When asked what needs to be done, she said, “we need to rein in spending.” She didn’t say how and, I swear, if she had said by ending “waste, fraud and abuse,” I would have spit out my Irish whiskey. These are meaningless cliches meant to dupe the conservative masses. If you can’t specify cuts, you’re a fraud.
And Sarah, “Tea Party” evokes the American Revolution, not the term “taxed enough already.” That slogan is a typical manifestation of the conservative rear-guard action mentality. You can rarely win anything playing defense. I learned that lesson playing ping pong.
