The fact you posted this video implies you support Palin and the Tea Party Movement but just to be clear I'd like to have it on record so could you answer the following questions unambiguously:
1. Would you prefer to see Sarah Palin as President rather than Obama, yes or no, and if yes why?

2. Do you support the Tea Party Political Movement, yes or no, and if yes why?

To assume I support anything just because I post something is fallacious.

Because of the left non-stop attacks on Palin, they have made her a political power. Her folksy way irritates the elites of both the Democrats and the Republican party. Palin is a fascinating story.

The Tea Party has the basic philosophy of fiscal conservatism, which I agree with. The movement is a grass-root effort telling the politicians in both parties to stop spending the next generations money.

As for Palin versus Obama, I believe she would have done better with energy and national defense. But remember, McCain was the alternative to Obama.

- What parts? In general yes, the government is spending too much.

Yes. Because I believe her energy policy, tax and spending positions, and her support for the war on terror more closely match my views than Obama's. In fact, even on the things I agree with Obama, I believe Palin would be better.
