Took me a while to find the quote I wanted from Sarah Palin’s Q&A yesterday at the Tea Party Convention. Oddly, the official transcript at Fox News (a Fox person was doing the questioning) didn’t include this question (and may have omitted others as well, I didn’t watch the whole thing myself). Anyway, here’s the official quote for the Sarah Palin Plan I posted about yesterday.

Judson Phillips: We’ve heard of the Obama plan. What’s the Palin plan?

Sarah Palin: The Palin plan? It’s quite simple. And I kind of get a kick out of it, I think it probably drives some of the elitist crazy that I don’t get angry about it I get a kick out of it that when they say I am too simple minded and too plain spoken but my plan is quite simple and that is to support those who understand the foundation of our country. When it comes to the economy it is free market principles that reward hard work and personal responsibility and when it comes to national security as I ratchet down the message on national security, it’s easy to kinda sum it up by repeating Ronald Reagan when he talked about the cold war and we can apply this now to our war on terrorism you know bottom line we win they lose we do all that we can to win.

Yup, my paraphrasing wasn’t too far off the mark or much shorter than her own words. It’s just not much of a plan.

As far as the speech and the rest of the Q&A goes, I have read them, and I can’t even be bothered to rant about such fluffy talking-point nonsense. If you want to know what she said, Time has the highlights, and to be honest, these highlights are about as much meat as can be found on this bone.

Thanks goes to Ribbie’s Weblog for being the first place I found the bit I wanted.
