Sarah Palin To Campaign for Pat Roberts in Kansas Amid Lingering Grassroots Anger
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | September 23, 2014 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 09/24/2014 12:42:53 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Sarah Palin will campaign for incumbent Republican Senator Pat Roberts (R-KS) in Independence, Kansas on Thursday. Roberts is in need of help from the Tea Party favorite, as recent polls show he trails independent Greg Orman in this fall's general election.

Last week, the Kansas State Supreme Court granted Democratic nominee Chad Taylor's request to be removed from the ballot, setting up a two-person race between Roberts and Orman.

Roberts defeated Tea Party challenger Dr. Milton Wolf in the August 5 Republican primary by a relatively narrow margin of 47% to 41% in a bitterly personal contest that left many grassroots activists in Kansas disgusted with the heavy handed tactics of the Republican establishment. Roberts was hurt by Wolf's attacks on his residency claims, a weakness that may have sparked the strange turn of events that led to the withdrawal of Taylor and the rise in the polls of Orman.

The question is how far Palin's appearance in Kansas on behalf of Roberts will go to bring the embittered grassroots back to the Republican side....

You are not making any positive contribution to this discussion.

People can easily see through you.

Sarah is a good soldier

Exactly right. You need not have gone any further.

They will. That’s why the GOPe with the Chamber of Commerce stooped to sub-RAT levels to defeat us: they understand the transfer of power that will happen if we win it back.

You don’t publicly threaten to drown TEA unless you view them as an immediate threat. Now the GOPe has to concede to TEA (’letting’ Sarah stump) to save Roberts’ ass. That’s called power.

Bear in mind, Begich and Franken are now vulnerable, even though the MSM won’t report it.

You Kansas folks (and in other states like NC, SC, etc.), don’t vote for Roberts because you LIKE him, do it to empower Cruz with the Majority.

Exactly. This is simply smart tactics. This 'war' will be a "long, hard slog" of incremental gains. Fight like hell in the primary but at least beat the RATS at a minimum in the general. Majority Leader should be permanently detached from Dingy Harry Reid!

And empowering Ted Cruz is not that FAR AWAY ... he already had NINETEEN in September, 2013 and TWENTY-SIX would constitute a majority of the majority.

Can you explain how Roberts fits the description of “RINO?”

It’s easy to do so. I don’t try to hide anything.

Don’t worry about that. She’ll have a driver to take her around town.

I am not going to enjoy clicking the box for Cornyn AT ALL.

In fact, I think I’m just going to pull Straight R so I don’t have to be reminded of the RINOs on the TX ballot I’m voting for.

I used to think we could spare one RINO Sen and one RINO house seat (Mcconnel and Boehner would be my favorite slaughters) but it makes more sense to keep all the Rs we have, then politically disembowel them starting Nov. 5.

We conservatives in Kansas gave Roberts a major wake up call. His last votes have now been very conservative. He better toe the line or he will not get another chance, he will lose in the next primary.

Palin carried water for Juan McDemocrat and Booby Hatch. They both were goners till she stepped in. She ain’t perfect.
