Mike Allen's Politico Playbook has some excerpts from Sarah Palin's new book, America By Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag:
Through the purchase of large chunks of Chrysler and General Motors, the bailing out of Wall Street banks, ... government is taking over more and more of the role that the free market has traditionally played in America. ... It's called crony capitalism....
Some say we don't actually have a two-party system, that each party is the party of big government, with a Republican wing that likes wars, deficits, and assaults on civil liberties, and a Democrat wing that likes welfare, taxes, and assaults on commercial laissez-faire. There's some truth to this idea. ... If Democrats are driving the country toward socialism at a hundred miles an hour, while the Republicans are driving at only fifty, commonsense constitutional conservatives want to turn the car around.
