Speaking on behalf of Donald Trump, Sarah Palin gave a speech last night to a Wisconsin Republican audience. Standing firmly on a platform of truth, Palin warned the mostly party (establishment) audience their decision to stand with deception in order to win an election also means placing themselves in a very precarious position.
The response from the audience to Sarah’s brutal honesty was what’s customarily known as “the collective nervousness of deceivers“.
Whenever anyone dares to tell the collective: ‘the emperor stands naked’; there’s a particular kind of autonomic group nervousness immediately evident. A group discomfort.
Such was the discomfort when Sarah Palin mentioned Senator Ted Cruz’s weak and opportunistic immigration position, and then contrast a real-life example of Cruz going to McAllen Texas (Saturday, July 19th 2014) to hand out “gift baskets” and welcome illegal alien families.
You could hear a pin-drop as an entire audience sat jaw-agape in disbelief.
So Sarah Palin brings some BIG TRUTH to those GOP insiders who gathered in Wisconsin; and, if we are to give benefit-of-the-doubt to those who heard it, apparently it’s the first time they became aware of Senator Cruz’s forked tongue on an issue. Hence, a gob smacked response.
Palin also pointed out another lie, when she reminded everyone that Senator Cruz never stopped the senate Gang-of-Eight amnesty bill. Despite Lyin’ Ted claiming on the campaign trail that he killed the bill, the reality is that bill passed the Senate in 2013, and it would have passed the House were it not for Dave Brat’s primary defeat of Eric Cantor in June of 2014 shortly before Sentor Cruz took off to the border with his gift baskets.
But Sarah didn’t stop there. She also fearlessly told the audience that Senator Ted Cruz was also lying about another policy aspect, his advocacy for the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal. And, more specifically, to the Trade Promotion Authority bill Senator Ted Cruz co-authored, co-planned and co-constructed, along with Paul Ryan in the House of Representatives. Again, Sarah was loaded with the truth.
The Republican disbelievers didn’t want to hear about that inconvenient reality either. Then again, when you stand boldly in sunlight the cockroaches never approach; they can only comfortably co-exist when they remain cloistered in the dark shadows of deception.
The media’s response to Palin’s speech? Well, initially (and immediately) they began accusing her of lying about the “gift baskets”. Then, after they realized everything she was saying was factual, they started spinning. Eventually, they dropped the subject – and that’s probably how it will remain today.
It’s easier to hide those uncomfortable truths that way. Well, at least until after the Tuesday election I guess.
Here’s Sarah’s bold and truthful speech:
OK, thank you. I don’t have TV so made incorrect assumption.
So you admit that now.
Sessions did not—NOT—say, hint or suggest Cruz’ private tweets were poison pills.
Oh please. The tweet was on the very day that Cruz was introducing the poison pill amendments, which was June 19th 2013. Sessions has clearly said, that Cruz was mocking and teasing the other side.
As I said, one can believe Sessions, that they were poison pill amendments or not and one can believe Sessions that Cruz was teasing and mocking the Democrats or not.
I really don't care what you believe.
But to call me dishonest, is you being dishonest.
Check that.
Logical fallacy: Ad hominem.
5 times in a row.
That last one was a two-fer. Attacking me AND Sarah instead of addressing the points.
No, not at all.
Cruz courageously introduced legislation to stop DACA. That was the point of his visit.
It was the rest of the Senate that failed to act.
Join the club, my friend.
Logical fallacy: Ad hominem
‘ja ever notice that Heidi and Hillary start with the same letter?
There are two irrefutable issues with Cruz that knocks him out of the running with me:
a) He was not born on native American soil (or to service parents overseas).
b) He’s a lawyer (lawyers are the problem, not the solution)
Those two are immediate dis-qualifiers. Non-negotiable to me.
All the rest just serve to convince those who don’t mind my listed issues that this guy is just Lyin’ Ted.
Reminded of Palin supporting McCain over J. D. Hayworth, still not heard a good excuse...
Not bothered by giving gift baskets knowing Democrats encouraged this recent humanitarian crisis, it truly could be charity for some poor souls.
Correct me if wrong, but Wisconsin is open primary, which favors Trump, so I don’t expect him to lose and all this hype and polls leave that out.
Well why not, has there ever been a negative Trump post where the Trump sycophants haven't jumped in to insult the Cruz supporters and Cruz, as thous hast, here? It's really sad that so many have fallen to such a low level that there can not be discourse without animosity and insults.
I addressed the issues more than anybody on this thread, including you.
And the link about Palin goes to one of the points. Palin is being hypocritical. Assuming Cruz at one time did believe in a legalization amnesty (which I don't assume BTW), then why is it okay for Sarah to change her position but not Ted.
Mr. Trump made donations to persons of both political parties including Ted Cruz. He is a businessman, not a politician.
What a dishonest post. You never even mentioned the wholesale lie in the tweet.
But thanks for educating me. I learned that Sessions did not refer to the amendments as “poison pills”. Interesting.
The tweet was private, and went only to Cruz’ followers. There was no need for Cruz even to send it, much less to lie shamelessly to his own followers. If he lies so easily and so unnecessarily, how does anyone ever know if he’s telling the truth?
What point? That Trump will make America Great Again?
What’s the point she is making? How will he do it???
Logical fallacy: Ad hominem.
Twice in a row, you attack Palin instead of attacking her arguments.
Care to go for the trifecta?
Logical fallacy: Moving the goalposts. Also logical fallacy: Ignoratio elenchi.
Good Samaritan? The whole debacle is unconstitutional.
Twice in a row, you attack Palin
I explained why her own flip flop was relevant.
...instead of attacking her arguments.
I criticized her arguments.
Look, you are either being dishonest or you're not very bright.
I'm not going to argue further with you.
Why is that? Are you a McCain supporter?
Regarding the points as you say, I will just let you hear from Ted Cruz himself at that same dinner. Notice the standing Ovation as you call them, also notice all the applause and interruptions he gets with cheers on his points. His points are my points, he just says it better, take a peek if you dare.
