In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin blasted the Republican establishment's contempt for and destructive behavior toward the Tea Party during the current budget showdown with the Obama administration.
Palin told Breitbart News that these establishment financiers cannot relate to the average American worker and are throwing a "fit" because Wall Street knows they are in a whole new ballgame where their influence is diminishing.
Palin was responding to an article by David Freilander in Thursday's Daily Beast in which prominent Republican establishment financiers showed disdain for the conservative grassroots while being unable to identify exactly what a "precinct captain" is.
Palin, who started her political career on the local level as an outsider before eventually challenging the GOP establishment in Alaska to become governor, said that the "GOP high roller machine can’t win elections with their cash anymore."
"If they could, all the money they threw at Romney would have paid off," Palin said, referring to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's inability to galvanize the blue-collar conservative base during the 2012 presidential election. "It’s the average American – the grassroots Tea Party patriot with enthusiasm and boots on the ground – who wins elections":

Right on Palin.
Thing is, while you’re messaging, how about a message to corporate America:
BRING BACK AMERICAN JOBS.
She just might go for that. Just saying.
Palin’s probably right. But then again, demographics are destiny and that means that the Tea Party types can’t win at a national level either. I sometimes wonder if Palin ever really takes the next step in her thinking. If she did, she’d realize that.
Money Can’t Buy You Love...but love of country and freedom can buy you trust, loyalty and confidence...See Sarah and Ted!
Republicans of all stripes have a lot on their plates right now. Palin attacking Republican donors at this moment is stupid. We’re in the middle of a battle.
Does anyone still wonder why Sarah has made an Emmey of the GOP?
People like John Coyron (or whatever his name is) is in charge of the GOP Re Election Campaign.
Gee, I wonder who the Elites will support?
Sarah has helped the New Jersey tighten and soon the GOP will reap what they sown.
Discontent in their own party!
GO SARAH!
Big Corporations and GOP love Deathcare, they get to unload their costs onto the Government and reap an even bigger profit.
You will often find the biggest pushers of Socialism are Big Business entities.
They develop an incestuous relationship with Government (that can only really happen when a government is large) and that is called Fascism.
You mean like Ted Cruze?
Hey there surrender monkey!
Sit down, be quiet and try not to get in the way of the real men and women trying to take our country back.
“This keeps up and I’m not sticking around to watch it happen,” Palin said.
If the Tea Party can't win should we just throw in the GOP-E Big Government types.
The Democrats win there fore we would more like Democrats?
What kind of sense does that make?
Pluralities win elections. Rove doesn’t know how to mobilize the white vote, which is still enough to win if they can get them to the polls.
Fire the Bass Turds! All of them as the opportunity arises. Fire Them!!!
I “think” the only hope would be to entirely rebrand the so-called “Republican” party. But without the monied set of RINO’s, I don’t know how that can be done.
She’s the best!
GO SARAH!
Palin is making the Fifth Column uncomfortable. The "Government For Sale" sign isn't the fund magnet it used to be.
FWIW There is a deal on WOOT today, a KitchenAid mixer mrs p6 and I like. Actually she is getting the more powerful model for Christmas but she doesn’t know that.
In the comments on the WOOT page it is noted that the company is (still) located in NE Ohio where itt started, has recently expanded, hired more workers and brought some product and jobs back to the US.
“But then again, demographics are destiny and that means that the Tea Party types can’t win at a national level either”. wt*? Conservatism works whenever it’s tried. Remember when Reagan won 49 states in 1980? Remember the contract with America in ‘94.....the Tea Party in ‘10? All we have to do is do it!!!!!
Money isn't everything and Money can't always buy elections.
The Colorado recall was started by one guy who borrowed money from his Grandma to start it.
One or a small group of people can make a difference.
Ted Cruz hasn’t ever won a “national” election. He won a statewide election.
I’m not suggesting surrender, I’m simply suggesting that something a lot more subtle than a Ted Cruz would be necessary to win at the national level. Ted Cruz is far too polarizing. He would bring out the opposition in droves. He scares the living crap out of the low information voters, (with the help of the Progressive MSM) and all they’ll be told is that Cruz will take away their food stamps, their unemployment checks and their Obama phones.
