EXCLUSIVE--Palin Rips 'GOP High Roller Machine': 'Their Money Can’t Buy Elections Anymore'
breitbart.com/Big-Government ^ | 10-5-2013 | Stephen K. Bannon & Tony Lee

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":

My point is her timing. The focus should be on Obama’s mean spiritedness in spending money to shut down monuments. ...not to mention the collapse of Obamcare websites. We don’t need Sarah making it all about her. If she wants to join the battle quit sniping from the sidelines and run for something Sarah.

If money could not be defeated in elections, the British Empire would still be holding us in its clutches.

You mean like how we snipe from the sidelines here on F.R.?

America isn't Sarah's to save, its ours, she can only help, but in the end success or failure isn't rested on Sarah running/not running for anything.

Well we might want to hammer out an agreement on who can be a member of this new GOP.

I am for Cruz and Palin most of all.

That said, I’m against their stand for doing nothing on healthcare. (I know that is not their actual stand, but they have no plan ready to go and passed, so that is in effect their plan)

While corporate America is busy laying off Americans and sending our jobs to China, I do NOT think it is a good idea to cling to that old way of doing things.

GOP get yourselves together and propose a real, actual competing plan. A real plan.

And corporate America: BRING BACK AMERICAN JOBS.

Palin and Cruz are by far the most inspiring candidates the GOP has fielded in an entire generation.

Don’t divide their support. If they’re going to oppose Obamacare then oppose it, but have something better to propose at the same time.

Just saying.

Carle Rove?! Is that you?!

Like I said, sit down, shut up and go vote for Bob Dole again.

I know someone far less scary than Ted Cruz.

We we run someone like him the Democrats will see we are sincere about not being mean to them.

BULLSH*T "Demographics are destiny." Carl Rove said that, "Demography is destiny." NO, that is WRONG.

Demographics are pretense to assemble voting blocks and to divide people into interest groups that have zero reference to individuals. Demography is pretense. MORALITY is destiny.

Example? Romney lost because he was amoral, and on balance American conservatives were moral enough to turn away from him. Another example? The Western World became slave-free because its Judeo-Christian morality FORCED the end of slavery. Morality was destiny.

Want another example of how morality IS destiny? As Americans let themselves be bamboozled into leftists cheating their way into power so that government, rather than individuals, become fiscal arbiters of morality such as charity (welfare) and whether or not it should be "legal" to peacefully tell an openly homosexual person to go somewhere else for a youth group they can lead, or a bakery where they can buy a cake for their gay wedding, or an adoption agency where the "married" homosexual couple wants to adopt -- as long as you have government being the moral policeman that says all Americans must allow this or be punished, then we see America falling into moral decay.

MORALITY IS DESTINY. Demography is pretense. Wake up.

You have and exemplify a loser mindset. As long as people like YOU define the Republican party, which has been MY party since I first started voting in 1976, then I must face the fact that the Republican party has become a dead elephant and counterproductive, and that it's time to move on to a THIRD PARTY. I don't like it, but truth doesn't care whether I like it or not.

I would rather salvage and take over the Republican party, but as long as mindsets like yours and Romney's qualify as fit for the Republican party, then I MUST MOVE ON and seek another party. And so must America if it wants to regain and restore its freedom and morality.

Palin attacking Republican donors at this moment is stupid. We’re in the middle of a battle.

Attacking the enemy is good at all times. Unless you are rooting for those who wish to maintain the hoax.

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.

Excellent point, RS

No, because the Dems are Bullies they will see it as capitulation and will attack us even more sadistically.

Dem Congressman slams GOP as ‘corporate shills’, ‘religious fanatics’ and ‘freedom fiends’.
