Sarah Palin made an appearance on Sean Hannity’s conservative talk show last night and continued her use of gunplay in political rhetoric when the subject of the debt limit entered the conversation.
Palin denounced Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s “last-choice” plan, which would essentially force Democratic lawmakers to accept sole responsibility for raising the federal debt ceiling. The former vice-presidential candidate suggested that the proposal was the political equivalent to waving a white flag.
“We cannot default but we cannot afford to retreat right now either. Now is not the time to retreat, it’s the time to reload,” she said.
“And we reload with reality by giving facts and numbers to the American public so that those of us across the United States can start chiming in and letting our representatives know that we will not capitulate, we will not hand over more power, which I believe is unconstitutional, to President Obama to further manipulate our economy.”
Obama has rejected McConnell’s short-term compromise, but the former Alaska governor continued to condemn the plan by claiming that it would have represented a defeat for the Republican Party.
“Congress has the power of the purse strings,” she added. “So this plan of McConnell’s, I think, makes no sense because it does cede power to our president and takes away that authority that is inherent in Congress to control the economic decisions that have to be made when it comes to debt.”
