Ms. Palin blamed the U.S. Federal Reserve's low interest-rate policy of previous years for setting the stage for last year's global financial crisis. She opposed appointing the Fed as the chief overseer of systemic risk in the U.S. financial system. "The words 'fox' and 'henhouse' come to mind. The Fed's decisions have created the bubble," she said.

“The speech was wide-ranging, very balanced, and she beat all expectations,” said Doug A. Coulter, head of private equity in the Asia-Pacific region for LGT Capital Partners.

“She didn’t sound at all like a far-right-wing conservative. She seemed to be positioning herself as a libertarian or a small-c conservative,” he said, adding that she mentioned both Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. “She brought up both those names.”

Palin is a joke. The only positioning she should do is doggy while i plow that. She still looks good at her age and looked better before. I still dont think shes truly as gorgeous as a lot of people think. I wouldnt kick her out of bed for eating crackers but maybe for talking

I dont consider myself libertarian but I truly admire them. I think in the coming years I would like to see the Republican party go the way of the dinosaur like it is and Libertarians start to take power. I think rather than having Democrats and Republicans who seem polar opposites, the convervatives disappear with their hijacked Republicans and the populace as a whole start becoming more like the party of Jefferson with the help of libertarians and like in Jefferson day the traitors are... well the not Jefferson types.
