She lost my vote on the first issue but here is one thing that I hate to see
"Except for Native Americans, we’re all descendants of immigrants."
Take the native American issue off the table girl, it is an appeasement position that can be insulting for those proud of the struggle they went through to be here.

South Dakota’s Values and Principles are the same ones Kristi will take to Congress.
"America was built by people who longed for freedom, believed in individual responsibility and knew that government should serve the people - not the other way around. It is still true today, that the best government is the government that governs least." - Kristi Noem
You don't like that? I think America is referring to the U.S. not the continent..
In bold...
The quote can be found in Henry David Thoreau's essay entitled Civil Disobedience published in 1849. However the quote is often attributed to Thomas Jefferson, but there is no writing suggesting Jefferson actually said it.

Her first issues is about medicare -
here is an excerpt
"I will work to fix the Medicare payment system to ensure access for all South Dakota beneficiaries. Medicare payment rates affecting the care for our seniors should not be a political issue."
If she is all for smaller government, then it starts with one of the biggest rip offs in history - Medicare/Medicaid. Fixing access is not the fix, getting rid of it is.
SO quoting Jefferson or Thoreau or Malcolm X doesn't matter, what matters is openly talking about the real issue that costs us as a country and being honest that these costs need to be fixed.

Maybe we should just do what the native Indians used to do..if the elderly have no family to take care of them...just cut them loose and let them die....

Well you know, there is a serious problem with Social Security. IT IS NOT about seniors getting their monthly check but rather about the other programs within the system.
It was never intended for nothing more than a retirement supplement and at the time it was created, a large majority of elderly lived with relatives.
We got away from this by destroying the Family Unit and now we need in many ways to return to a community based attitude, not a Government driven solution.
See here is the real problem, the pandering of the candidates shows me that not one of them will stand on any one issue or push for as unified message. Many in the Palin/TP group won't talk about specifics within the budget that needs to be cut nor want to take a real stand on real issues. They are afriad of chasing people away from them in November.
Whether or not Medicare matters for some isn't an issue, when I listen to people who espouse the TP points of view on an intrusive government, they fail to mention that our biggest issue we have with the deficit and our nation debt is Social Security which is being forced on many who may not want it. It is like the question of Obama Care and the BS of it being legal to force us to take something by the Federal Government, they already do that with Social Security benefits and even flood insurance - all federally mandated contracts that we have absolutely no choice in.

EVERYONE here today are decendents from some where. EVEN those we call indians or NATIVE americans!! FACTS is FACTS!! The number of years matters NOT!! Evidence is on the side of a continual conflict between Asians and Europeans in North America going back to the beginning of recorded history. Don't buy this silly rewriting of history!!
