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:
As Rush says [paraphrasing]:
Truth doesn’t matter. Justice doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters to the accusers and their cohorts, including the drive-by media, is the seriousness of the charge.
The kids at St Judes cancer center could have used the gifts and publicity from a presidential front runner a LOT more than illegals.
what a shame.
...another one down.
I listen to Hayworth on Newsmax TV. He strikes me as a moderate republican.
welcome to FR.
You should be ashamed that you didn't offer a "I'm a Cruz zealot" disclaimer with your Palin-bashing post.
Disclaimer: I'm a militant Trumpkin.
Ted Cruz: “My people don’t beg for gifts”,... so why did he do it?
It’s just a consideration of what I was thinking as I weigh Palin’s comment.
Now, if you want, I can counter your commentary with a whole bunch of stuff that Cruz did, but I doubt that you want to hear that.
Okay.
Geez...it’s getting as bad on FR as it is on the FNC! Seems like both are being overrun with Trump slappies! It’s laughable to see so many repeat the nonsensical accusation, “Lyin’ Ted,” when Trump lies as naturally as others breathe!
I am embarrassed that I ever supported this dimwit. Sigh.
Logical fallacy: Ad hominem!
Then again, I’m quite embarrassed that I ever supported Cruz too.
You’re fine doing so. To be honest, I think Trump wins and all this is just passing time.
Am I disappointed? Yes and no. Trump has been very good articulating National Security and many criticism of government gone bad. I think Trump adapts fast and will be a great President if he delivers.
Basically Trump’s triumphed over them all, and that puts Cruz behind as a candidate, and that adds him to a sorry bunch losing to an unknown, politically speaking. Cruz has been a Great Conservative voice when there was few.
Could Cruz be better on National Security? Yes. Is Trump going to deliver? He’s got a lot of work to do.
You’re kidding, right. It’s almost impossible to find pro-trump media anywhere, and it’s rare to find balanced.
Poor Sarah Palin is going the way of Glenn Beck....turns out they are both NUTS.
Perhaps he has, however, you would not hear about it by the mainstream media if he has or had.
Nobody with a Twitter account has to depend on the MSM. If Cruz had any kind words for those Americans devastated by the scourge of Foreign Invaders, we’d know about it.
