Sarah Palin: What we know about November

*
The Washington Post recently asked several former politicians and political experts, including Sarah Palin, what Tuesday's primary results show about the midterm elections. This is Gov. Palin's answer:

The recent primaries make clear that Washington's status quo is turning us off because the politicos are turning us into a country that would ignore its charters of liberty. Americans who understand that deficits and enormous, immoral, unsustainable federal debt steal liberty and opportunity are saying, "Enough is enough. You who have not fought for the people and against Big Government -- you're fired."

The criteria for supporting constitutional, Reaganesque conservative politicians are pretty simple: Do they know how to live within their means, and do they realize it's a sacred trust to be spending other people's money? How do they stack up against an incumbent who supported government control of one-sixth of our economy via Obamacare? Did the incumbent pit him or herself against state officials who warned against accepting Obama's debt-ridden, strings-attached stimulus package? Did he or she disrespect the 10th Amendment and push unfunded mandates on local governments? Do they disrespect America's families by putting us in harm's way, economically and militarily, because of skewed priorities?

If the politicians fit that bill, then they're part of the problem, and so we will hire people who know the solution. That's the message, and our voice will be heard loud and clear at the ballot box in November.
