The remarks came just before Romney formally announces his presidential bid in nearby New Hampshire, which Palin also plans to visit later today.
"In my opinion, any mandate coming from government is not a good thing, so obviously ... there will be more the explanation coming from former governor, Romney, on his support for government mandates," Palin told reporters today.
When a reporter followed up that Romney has distinguished his state mandate from the federal one President Obama signed into law in 2010, Palin responded that even state mandates are problematic.
"He makes a good argument there that it does. States rights and authority and responsibility allowed in our states makes more sense than a big centralized government telling us what to do," she said.
"However, even on a state level and even a local level, mandates coming from a governing body, it's tough for a lot of us independent Americans to accept, because we have great faith in the private sectors and our own families ... and our own businessmen and women making decisions for ourselves. Not any level of government telling us what to do."

In order to be considered a presidential candidate (which she has not done yet) a person has to have credability. Her credability is zero after saying that Paul Revere "warned the british they we were not surrending our guns". I've heard of rewriting history, but have to admit that she has beat all others hands down with that statement. I guess she wasn't listening to the tour guide while she was in Boston.
After reading all of this, it brings to mind, what that great American (Don King) once said " ONLY IN AMERICA"
LMAO
the republican party is very much like the old commie party in russia. if you don't spout the old party line you get sent to siberia like romney just did. the only good thing he did for the working man he must now recant. this is how the nazis also worked. take your choice. i see very little difference.
God, can you imagine her as President. Even native English speakers can't figure out what she is trying to say! Imagine the rest of the world trying to figure it out? Thank heaven it would only last four years (or maybe she would resign in one ... there is a precedent after all.) Even this Country is not stupid enough to elect her twice ... once, yes ... twice, no.
MA Register of Deeds John O'Brien and Forensic Mortgage Fraud Examiner Marie McDonnell find former Vice-Presidental candidate Sarah Palin is a victim of potential mortgage fraud; expert says chain of title to new Arizona home clouded by robo-signers.
O'Brien said: "Sadly, Sarah Palin's misfortune will however, hopefully shine the national spotlight on this issue. Given her position in the country, I am sure that she will use her influence to stand up for homeowners and their property rights."
