PHOENIX (CBS5) - Gov. Jan Brewer and former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin put their best feet forward Saturday afternoon in an effort tackle one of Arizona's biggest issues. "We're here highlighting the problem of child abuse and doing all that we can to strike it out," said Palin. However, Saturday's conversation wasn't just about protecting our children. It was also about protecting our border. This week immigrants living in this country illegally will likely find out what they need to do to become U.S. citizens. Lawmakers are days away from announcing details of the most sweeping immigration reform bill this country's seen in a quarter century. "There needs to be truth in this issue. The American public can't keep being told that the border is as secure as ever or more secure than ever when that is not true," said Palin.

By Yereth Rosen ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - The head of the Alaska Republican party was ousted from her post and a public feud raged on this week between state party traditionalists and Tea Party loyalists allied variously with Sarah Palin and Ron Paul . State Republican chairwoman Debbie Brown , a self-described "strong conservative" who shuttered party headquarters in midtown Anchorage as a part of her war with the party's old guard, says she is still the party's leader despite "shenanigans" by its executive committee, who removed her from the job on Monday. Brown, from Kasilof, Alaska , was traveling and did not attend Monday's meeting, which she dismissed as illegitimate. She was the second GOP chief ousted this year in sparsely populated Alaska , where big personalities can be just as powerful politically as ideology. Brown was replaced by retired Army Colonel Peter Goldberg, a little-known recent returnee to the state where he was once posted

Sarah Palin , the political pundit who gave up on governing the state of Alaska, this week issued yet another political rant through her Facebook page. In it, she excoriated President Obama for attempting to pick winners and losers in the free market. She pointed out that Fisker Automotive, an electric car company that has received nearly $200 million in taxpayer money is now laying off around 80% of its U.S. workforce. From the Facebook post: This is really just the latest manifestation of the administrations crony capitalism as their green energy buddies benefit from this atrocious waste of taxpayer money. Americans really need to get outraged by these wasteful ventures. As weve seen time and time again, We the People are always stuck subsidizing the lefts losers. Palins criticisms echo other conservative commentators, who have been criticizing the U.S. Department of Energys clean energy loan program in recent weeks. She went on to make fun of a popular recent target, electric car co

By Kim Peterson 7 hours ago Sarah Palin is calling Tesla Motors ( TSLA ) a loser, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk doesn't like it much. The former governor of Alaska took to Facebook ( FB ) to vent about electric car maker Fisker Automotive , which is firing 75% of its employees after failing to seal a funding deal. Fisker got the green light for $529 million in low-interest loans from the U.S. government and drew down $193 million from that pot before officials blocked access to the remaining amount in 2011. Palin said that Fisker "joins other past losers" like General Motors ' ( GM ) Chevrolet Volt, which gets 40 miles per battery charge, and Tesla, which turns into a "brick" when the battery ! completely discharges and requires a $40,000 repair bill. Here's a little more from Palin: This is really just the latest manifestation of the administration's crony capitalism as their green energy buddies benefit from this atrocious waste of taxpayer money.

Former half-term Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who often attacks Democrats for hurting small businesses, slammed American automakers Tesla Motors and Fisker Automotive for being "losers" on her Facebook page . Palin attacked Fisker Automotive for laying off 75 percent of its employees last Friday, reports the Los Angeles Times. Palin also accused the Obama administration for supposedly attempting "to pick 'winners and losers' in the free market," but did not mention that for decades the federal government has made loans to businesses. She showed additional contempt for hybrid electric cars by slamming General Motors' Volt, which tripled its sales in 2012, per CNN.com . This losing tax-subsidized venture joins other past losers like the Obama-subsidized Volt that gets 40 miles per battery charge, or like the Obama-subsidized Tesla that turns into a brick when the battery completely discharges and then costs $40,000 to repair, Palin angrily wrote on Faceboo
