Palin says raising the debt cap without Congress is an 'impeachable offense.'
"Defaulting on our national debt is an impeachable offense, and any attempt by President Obama to unilaterally raise the debt limit without Congress is also an impeachable offense," Palin wrote.
In her statement, Palin also accused the president of "scaremongering" on the debt ceiling. She suggested that a default could be averted by paying interest on the debt through daily revenues collected by the United States, an idea that has been recently touted by several conservative voices on the right.
"It's also shameful to see him scaremongering the markets with his talk of default. There is no way we can default if we follow the Constitution," she said, also adding that the president was trying to "furlough reality" when talking about the debt limit.
Palin was in Washington on Sunday, when she visited the World War II Memorial and protested the government shutdown's impact on veterans. She will visit Iowa next month for the Faith & Freedom Coalition's fall fundraiser.

who's just reared her ugly head. Snake or a vulture? It's hard to decide. Maybe, both. Here is something for this 'lady' _[Link]
And who's bright idea was to let her even get near the veterans as she is a member of some really creepy death cult and a warmonger?
