abraham lincoln quotes power

Since Palin likes to quote Abraham Lincoln, why didn’t she use this quote? “I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country; corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in High Places will follow, and the Money Power of the Country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the People, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed.” Answer by [O]peration [I]raqi [L]iberationBecause she doesn’t see the impending crisis as a crisis at all.
