She has so much to say. I wish I could hear the other Republican candidates say what she says. How can you argue with the following sentiments: (hat tip to Maggie’s Notebook)

We have suffered massive job losses out there. Washington is hiring, but the question is, they are hiring for what? They don’t manufacture. They don’t mine. They don’t drill. They don’t harvest. They produce nothing, and the services they provide – they increase dependency, not freedom. They don’t create wealth. They take it. This is Obama’s Washington. It’s not the Washington of our Founders but the Washington of the Permanent Political Class. It is something that our forefathers never envisioned and they would have sworn their lives, their fortunes their sacred honor to change it.

It’s why I say to the Occupy Protesters, you are occupying the wrong place. You are protesting the wrong thing. This crony capitalism is the root of our economic problems. It has spurred the expansion of government which diminishes freedom and opportunity for all to rise and to succeed. See, some politicians get elected just by promising more programs, and new freebies and new favors, and then government grows to accommodate their promises. It never shrinks, and that crowds out the liberating individual initiative and the equal opportunity that America was built upon. It swallows up the work ethic that we try to teach our children and it extinguishes that independent, pioneering American spirit.

Now often they come to DC denouncing the place as the cesspool of corruption, but after a year or two, they decide, ehhh, it’s not cesspool – more like a hot tub. And they are hopping in and enjoying the jacuzzi.

Well America, it is time we drain the jacuzzi and throw the bums out with the bath water. We took a good first step in 2010, as much as the media wants you to forget that election. Tea Party Patriots won an historic victory. We the people rose up and we spoke up, and the message was we don’t want the Left’s big government agenda. We can’t afford it and we won’t pay for it.

Now the points I want to make about Congress, I toast the Tea Party members there in Congress. Many of them who have fought so bravely against the status-quo and agreed with us that you can’t get out of debt by getting deeper in debt – some even voted against giving the President another plastic card that we expect our kids and grandkids to have to pay off for us. Barack Obama has fought these folks every step of the way. He has dismissed them. He has lied about them. They have held their ground. They have kept their promises to the people who hired them, and now they need reinforcements. Will you help them?

This November we are going to take back the Senate and we are going to fortify the House. Be aware Washington, Tea Party Patriots are alive and we’ll elect more, and this time, establishment, we expect them to get leadership posts in Congress.

I tell you, I get shivers up and down my arms when I read those words. I yearn for an America that talks (and acts) this way. For the video click here.
