Sarah Palin vs. The Rino GOP


And heeere's Sarah...



Americans who are fed up with ObamaCare won a victory yesterday. The House voted to defund ObamaCare while still funding the federal government to avoid a “devastating” shutdown.

(I shall not digress, but it’s beyond distressing to hear liberals try to convince Americans that any government slowdown is comparable to “terrorism.”)

Now the battle goes to the Senate, and we’ll find out if Harry Reid is so committed to the horrendous “Unaffordable Care Act” that he’ll be the one to shut down the government to fund the unworkable ObamaCare.

Let’s be clear. Republicans in Congress aren't advocating a government shutdown. That’s why they voted in the House to fully fund our bureaucracy while defunding ObamaCare.

* AND, FOLKS... BELIEVE ME... IF IT WERE UP TO ME THERE'D BE HUGE GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURE CUTBACKS! I ONLY WISH THAT THE HOUSE WOULD GO FURTHER!

The conservatives in Congress are listening to the majority of Americans who do not want ObamaCare.

* FOLKS... TRUE... THIS IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION... BUT DON'T MISTAKE IT FOR THE TRUE SHIFT TOWARDS TEA PARTY VALUES THAT'S NEEDED FROM THE GOP RULING ELITES.

Following the will of the people is apparently a novel idea in D.C. these days. Just ask Senator Ted Cruz and his liberty-loving posse on Capitol Hill who have led the charge to defund Obama’s train wreck.

* EXACTLY! THE GOP ELITE HATE CRUZ - AND PALIN - AS MUCH IF NOT MORE THAN THEY DESPISE THE DEMOCRATS.

Those of us who hang in there supporting a major political party with our energy, time, and contributions...

* DON'T, CARL! DON'T, JOHN! SEND YOUR MONEY TO THE SENATE CONSERVATIVES FUND OR GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS WHICH CAN BE TRUSTED!

...would like to believe that that party would praise principled conservatives like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee for following through on campaign promises.

* HA!

We’d like to believe that the GOP establishment would applaud the way these bold leaders have rallied the grassroots to their cause.

(*SNORT*)

But, no, such praise would require a commensurate level of guts and leadership, and the permanent political class in D.C. is nothing if not gutless and rudderless.

* APPLAUD BOEHNER, CANTOR, MCCONNELL AND THE LIKE WHEN THEY DO THE RIGHT THING; JUST UNDERSTAND THAT OFTEN EVEN WHEN THEY'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING THEY'RE DOING IT FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL REASONS HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY. NEVER TRUST THEM! NEVER!

We’re now, once again, subjected to the “anonymous sources” backstabbing game. The Capitol Hill cowards are rushing to anonymously denounce Senator Cruz to any reporter with a pad and pen.

* PEOPLE LIKE KARL ROVE ARE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH.

Welcome to our world, Ted. The same people have been denouncing conservatives like me for years (right after they ask for help fundraising for themselves or endorsing the latest candidate they’ve suckered into paying their exorbitant consulting fees). We can compare shiv marks next time we meet, my friend.

* RE-READ THE ABOVE! THE "EXORBITANT CONSULTING FEES" LINE. SHE STUCK IT THERE ON PURPOSE. IT'S TRUE, FOLKS... FOR MANY POLITICS IS SIMPLY "BUSINESS" - A WAY TO MAKE MONEY.

If the Senate doesn’t get behind Ted Cruz’s efforts to defund ObamaCare, it won’t be because of any failure on Ted’s part. It’ll be because there weren’t enough principled leaders to stand with him, and that would be a tragic loss, not for Ted, but for America.

* LISTEN... FOLKS... WHAT A TRAGEDY 2012 WAS. ROMNEY...?!?! WHEN THEY COULD HAVE HAD GINGRICH?

(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)

* I KNOW MANY OF YOU HAVE YOUR PROBLEMS WITH GINGRICH - AND SO DO I! BUT... I'VE BEEN BLESSED TO WITNESS THREE MEN AND ONE WOMAN WHO IN POSITIONS OF LEADERSHIP MADE ME PROUD: RONALD REAGAN... POPE JOHN PAUL II... LADY MARGARET THATCHER... AND NEWT GINGRICH. NONE WERE PERFECT. ALL MADE MISTAKES. BUT ALL FOUR TRIED THEIR BEST TO DO WHAT THEY HAD PROMISED THEY DO IF GIVEN THE CHANCE AND EACH - TO A LARGE EXTENT AT LEAST - SUCCEEDED... AND THUS MADE LIFE BETTER FOR ALL OF US.

More and more Americans are waking up to the nightmare of ObamaCare as its roll-out continues. Hardworking families are losing their employer-provided health care coverage.

* SAID EMPLOYER-PROVIDED HEALTH CARE COVERAGE BEING A HUGE PART OF THE PROBLEM... (BUT THAT'S AN ASIDE FOR ANOTHER DAY... ANOTHER DISCUSSION...)

Businesses are cutting back their employees’ hours to skirt ObamaCare's mandates.

* AND THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM - A HUGE PROBLEM CREATED BY OBAMACARE!

Americans barely scrapping by are discovering that ObamaCare has made health care completely unaffordable.

* WELCOME TO MY WORLD! WE PAY - OUT OF POCKET - $1,327 A MONTH. PLUS HIGH CO-PAYS. PLUS HIGH HOSPITAL DEDUCTIBLES. PLUS LOUSY EYECARE BENEFITS. (AND WE'RE TALKING NO DENTAL BENEFITS.)

Those who aren’t part of a protected special interest group have been left in the cold.

* TRUE... BUT... THOSE WHO RECEIVE GOLD-PLATED TAX-FREE HEALTHCARE COVERAGE HAVE LONG BEEN A PROTECTED SPECIAL INTEREST - AND THEY STILL ARE! IT'S NOT FAIR. IT'S NOT RIGHT. AND IT MAKES NO ECONOMIC SENSE.  

* INSURANCE SHOULD BE BASED UPON INDIVIDUAL CATASTROPHIC POLICIES BASED UPON ACTUARIAL DATA. PRICES AND BENEFITS SHOULD BE MARKET DRIVEN WITH A SOCIAL SAFETY NET TO THE TRULY NEEDY - BUT IN ACCORDANCE TO A CAPITALIST MODEL.

When you’re living on a fixed income, having to pay hundreds of dollars more each month for health care will cut into your ability to pay for basic necessities like food, electricity, or gas (which has increased 90% under Obama).

* MOST PEOPLE ARE ON A FIXED INCOME. IN THEORY WE CAN INCREASE OUR INCOMES... BUT IN PRACTICE TRADE-OFFS COME INTO PLAY. MY POINT... IT'S NOT JUST THE ELDERLY AND THE POOR WHO ARE ADVERSELY EFFECT BY INFLATION - THE MIDDLE CLASS IS AS WELL!

* BTW... NOT SURE WHERE SHE'S GETTING THE "90% INCREASES" FROM. MY GUESS IS BETWEEN 30%-70% MAX.

Open your eyes, America. When the full reality of ObamaCare strikes home, we’ll thank God that principled leaders like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee took a stand to stop it in its tracks.

* LET'S HOPE THEY SUCCEED. BUT... AND HERE'S THE BIG BUT... LEAVING CERTAIN "POPULAR" MANDATES IN PLACE WITHOUT ENFORCING THE "REVENUES" NECESSARY TO SUPPORT THESE MANDATES WOULD BE JUST AS BAD AS LETTING OBAMACARE PROCEED AS ORIGINALLY (MIS)PLANNED!

But the permanent political class is handwringing and howling that if there’s a government shutdown the media will blame Republicans for it.

* I BELIEVE THE PUBLIC HAS LEARNED A GREAT DEAL OVER THE PERIOD OF "SEQUESTRATION."

* I HONESTLY BELIEVE THE PUBLIC WOULD ACCEPT FURTHER CUTS IF THEY WERE EXPLAINED IN CONTEXT WITH ECONOMIC REALITY!

Here’s a little newsflash, GOP establishment: Whenever anything bad happens, the media blames Republicans for it. That’s not an excuse to roll over and play dead. It’s a call to follow the advice I give my daughters: Woman up, stand your ground, and fight like a girl!

(*SINCERE APPLAUSE*)

I want no pity. I need no empathy. But use me as a barometer. Over the years, the Left-wing media has falsely and irrationally accused me of everything from faking a pregnancy to abetting murder. They lie. Deal with it.

* YEP, FOLKS... A GREAT MANY LIES HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT SARAH PALIN. SHE'S BEEN SLANDERED AND SLIMMED - AS OFTEN AND AS BADLY BY SO-CALLED "REPUBLICANS" AS BY DEMOCRATS - AND YET HERE SHE IS... STILL FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT.

Republicans in Congress support funding the government.

* WHAT I WANT FROM REPUBLICANS IS FOR THEM TO CUT GOVERNMENT SO IT REQUIRES LESS FUNDING!

If the Democrats block these funding measures, a government shutdown is on them. In the meantime, stop the ridiculous hysterics. Heck, about the most significant thing that happened during the last government shutdown was Clinton hooked up with Monica.

* HUH...?!?!

(*GOOGLING*)

* OH... SHE'S TALKING ABOUT THE OLD SEX TAPE THAT RECENTLY SURFACED.

(*ROLLING MY EYES*)

As I said in my speech at CPAC this year, it’s time for the Senate to put itself on Cruz Control. Ignore the peanut gallery pundits. They’ve written my political obituary so many times, I’m practically Lazarus. Now they’re trying to destroy Ted Cruz. Good luck with that, you weasels. Texans are just as tough as Alaskans. Smaller, but just as tough.

(*GRIN*)

But here’s the important thing that none of these establishment backstabbers understand. It’s not the messenger that matters. It’s the message. You can try to take out someone like Ted Cruz, but that won’t stop the message from catching fire. The message is liberty, and it’s been resounding ever since a band of patriots dumped tea in Boston harbor.

* I JUST WISH PALIN WOULD NAME NAMES...

(*SIGH*)

The message only grows stronger. The grassroots is bigger than any one person. We the People will rise up, and we will make our voices heard. Right now, Ted Cruz is speaking for us in this ObamaCare fight. God bless him for it.

Hang in there, Ted and Mike. You have millions of supporters among ordinary hardworking Americans. We support you because you don’t shy away from the fray. May your colleagues in the Senate gain the wisdom to support your excellent efforts so that you can see that the view is better from inside the bus than under it.

Oh, and a little reminder to Republican senators up for re-election in 2014: Moose season ends soon, allowing more time on one’s hands. So, we’ll be watching your votes very carefully this week.
