Many people dismiss a Palin candidacy claiming she is too divisive, too toxic, too polarizing, yet how many of those same people know deep within their souls that Washington DC is hopelessly broken.   One only has to look at the current state of affairs regarding this insufferable debt ceiling debate.    Sarah Palin clearly provides the most “common sense” sound bite: “I can add“. 
Yes she can.
So can we.
Patriotic Americans all over this nation can add also.  We know that a nation $14.7 trillion in debt should not be haggling over how much more to spend and justifying another $2 trillion in borrowing.   We cannot pay the debt we have now yet the solution from those on both sides of the aisle is to borrow more.   Obama just wants an automatic raise to the debt ceiling with ‘no strings attached’.   Republicans want a raise to the debt ceiling with false optical strings attached.   Sarah Palin can add.  Yes she can.  So can we.
Despite the fact she has not announced her candidacy coalitions of common sense supporters for fiscal sanity are meeting all around the country.  Their meetings are taking place around the dinner table, in coffee shops, in grocery stores, in playgrounds and parks, in gatherings of family and friends in backyards and picnic sites.  In the real world where family budget are compromised by wages and bills the common sense budgets are being discussed.   Real world family budgets, with a firm understanding of what “unsustainable” truly means.    Meanwhile in the land of all things bizarro, the blow hards in Washington DC attempt to frame the optics and the insufferable media portrays “consensus” and “bi-partisan” agreements.   Yet all around the country groups of taxpaying patriots are shaking their heads.   Sarah Palin can add.  Yes she can.  So can we.
51% of Americans pay zero, nada, zippo, zilch in federal income taxes.  Yet for some uncommon reason the opinions of those who pay for the entitlements enjoyed by the parasitic non-paying electorate are disingenuously dismissed and they are barred from a seat at the table.  Yeah, Sarah Palin can add.  Yes she can.  So can we.

An approaching crisis. A looming deadline. Nervous markets. And then, from the miasma of gridlock, rises our president, calling upon those unruly congressional children to quit squabbling, stop kicking the can down the road and get serious about debt.  This from a man, and administration, who:

• • Ignored the debt problem for two years by kicking the can to a commission.
• • Promptly ignored the commission’s December 2010 report.
• • Delivered a State of the Union address in January that didn’t even mention the word “debt” until 35 minutes in.
• • Delivered in February a budget so embarrassing — it actually increased the deficit —   that the Democratic-controlled Senate rejected it 97 to 0.
• • Took a budget Mulligan with his April 13 debt-plan speech. Asked in Congress how this new “budget framework” would affect the actual federal budget, Congressional Budget Office Director Doug Elmendorf replied with a devastating “We don’t estimate speeches.” You can’t assign numbers to air.

President Obama assailed the lesser mortals who inhabit Congress for not having seriously dealt with a problem he had not dealt with at all, then scolded Congress for being even less responsible than his own children. They apparently get their homework done on time.

My compliments. But the Republican House did do its homework. It’s called a budget. It passed the House on April 15. The Democratic Senate has produced no budget. Not just this year, but for two years running. As for the schoolmaster in chief, he produced two 2012 budget facsimiles: The first (February) was a farce and the second (April) was empty, dismissed by the CBO as nothing but words untethered to real numbers.

Obama has run disastrous annual deficits of around $1.5 trillion while insisting for months on a “clean” debt-ceiling increase, i.e., with no budget cuts at all. Yet suddenly he now rises to champion major long-term debt reduction, scorning any suggestions of a short-term debt-limit deal as can-kicking.

The flip-flop is transparently political. A short-term deal means another debt-ceiling fight before Election Day, a debate that would put Obama on the defensive and distract from the Mediscare campaign to which the Democrats are clinging to save them in 2012.

A clever strategy it is: Do nothing (see above); invite the Republicans to propose real debt reduction first; and when they do — voting for the Ryan budget and its now infamous and courageous Medicare reform — demagogue them to death.

And then up the ante by demanding Republican agreement to tax increases. So: First you get the GOP to seize the left’s third rail by daring to lay a finger on entitlements. Then you demand the GOP seize the right’s third rail by violating its no-tax pledge. A full-spectrum electrocution. Brilliant.

So look around. Look in Iowa, look in New Hampshire, look on TV, watch the weekly propaganda, pick up the paper, tune in the radio.   Listen to what those intellectuals and elites are selling as solutions.   Have you heard one word that makes sense against a backdrop of simple arithmetic?
Yeah, Sarah Palin can add.
So can WE THE PEOPLE.
You can win Sarah and we’ll be able to say “So Can We”.……
