Sarah Palin received a rousing welcome from a crowd of more than 1,000 tea partiers last night at the first national tea party convention as she sent a strong message that she supports lower taxes, smaller government, transparency, energy independence and strong national security.
A large banquet room at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel was crowded from wall-to-wall with energized tea partiers and as many as 120 press organizations from around the world – including broadcasters from Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Croatia and Japan.
"I'm a big supporter of this movement," she said. "America is ready for another revolution."
Palin applauded Scott Brown's recent Senate win in Massachusetts.
"Scott Brown represents what this beautiful movement is all about," she said. "He was just a guy with a truck and passion to serve our country. It took guts, and it took a lot of hard work. But with grass-roots support, Scott Brown carried the day."
Palin warned tea partiers not to let the movement be defined by one leader or politician.
"The tea party movement is not a top-down operation. It's a ground-up call to action that is forcing both parties to change the way that they're doing business," she said.
She said Americans are discouraged by what they see in Washington, and the "Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda" is leaving the nation less secure, deeper in debt and more submissive to big government.

I am too ! it's long overdue, The Socialist that have infiltrated not only our politics but our entertainment and media need to be exposed and banished !
So, is she a Republican, or a Tea Partier? Partite? Partition?
If Sarah Palin and a guy who has been a Senator for a week are the "hope" for the tea-bots, then they are in more trouble than I thought.
9:38
Which socialists do you mean? Can you name them for us?
Is that McCarthey posting at 9:38am?
The tickets to this tea party events were well over $300 to keep out the "riff raff". It seems to me that the tea party is JUST LIKE any other political group. Only the elite can hear the precious Palin, the rest of us can watch it on FOX!
she is great with insults but what action does she have.
Sarah Palin walked out on the people of Alaska with 2 years left of her oath as Governor, now she is paid $115,00 for public speaking. She has already proven herself as just another career politician, but with a new branding and marketing strategy.

Lost me when she believes that a democrat should be fired for using the word retard but an anchor on the station she works on can use it because it was different. If you are offended by that word, you do not care who uses it. Period, end of story.
Being President doesn't pay enough for Palin. Don't look for her to run.
9:50 Where do we begin with a list of socialists?
Obama
Biden
Pelosi
Reid
Wrangle
Boxer
O'Malley
Pollitt
Ireton
The entire SCOTUS
Every politician who has voted for any legislation that usurps the constitution.....
The list goes on and on
3:44,
Do you know the definition of socialist? If you do, then can you explain why the right wing keeps using that word to describe Obama? If he is a socialist, he is possibly the worst one ever. Instead of giving to the poor, why did Obama sign the first bail out and give so much to the big corporations? But please, go ahead with your talking points of them being socialist. Nice list, too bad you can't explain it.
