Palin: ‘We’re Going to Shake Things Up In 2014 (going after McConnell, Graham, Alexander)
Sarah Palin Facebook ^ | Thursday October 17, 2013 | Sarah Palin

Posted on 10/16/2013 10:36:10 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

Todd and I were proud to stand with Mark Levin and other bold, patriotic warriors in support of Steve Lonegan in the New Jersey Senate race! Mayor Lonegan fought the good fight, and he and his supporters have not “finished the race,” they’ve just begun! The press has now called the race for Barack Obama’s celebrity stand-in, Cory Booker, but rest assured that Steve fought gallantly for every vote that would have led to American solvency and exceptionalism. Steve is a lucky guy to have a strong New Jersey wife and two great daughters who supported him through this campaign. We so enjoyed getting to know them, as their passion and love for this country inspired us.

Looking at Steve’s life story should remind all of us to never be afraid to climb a mountain, no matter how high. Steve energized commonsense conservatives all across the country. And though it’s sad, it’s not surprising to see the far left lapdog media finally cover this race tonight (once their chosen one was deemed the victor, but not previously when voters deserved to hear of Lonegan’s successful small-government record and intentions to defend our republic).

Tonight’s press coverage of the status quo antics in Washington, D.C. energize us further.

Tonight’s New Jersey race was a win for Barack Obama, and the Senate deal in D.C. was a loss for the American people replete with more back-room deals, billion dollar corrupt earmark kickbacks, and weak leadership unwilling to stand up for the people who sent them to Washington. What happened in D.C. tonight reminds us of how hard we must fight in 2014 to return to a government of the people, by the people, for the people. These politicians work for us, and yet a new poll accurately reflects that just 13% of us feel as though this country that we love is on the right track. The way forward is to elect leaders who will listen to us; and if they don’t, we must hold them accountable on election day – no matter what party. Let’s commit to continue to be in the trenches fighting for those who stand on principle over politics, despite the odds.

Friends, do not be discouraged by the shenanigans of D.C.’s permanent political class today. Be energized. We’re going to shake things up in 2014. Rest well tonight, for soon we must focus on important House and Senate races. Let’s start with Kentucky – which happens to be awfully close to South Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi – from sea to shining sea we will not give up. We’ve only just begun to fight.

How could Stearns overlook the biggest big mouth of them all, that gasbag pete king?! One of the most disgusting excuses for a man I’ve ever had the misfortune to witness.

I think Stearns was focusing solely on the disgusting US Senate.

Peter King is the worst!

He can go straight to Hell, (no hand basket necessary).

We're in the battle of our lives and owe it to our children and grandchildren to give it all we got.

From Horowitz's The Threat We Face, last paragraph:

". . The most important battle in the world today is not being waged in the Middle East but here at home in the United States. If we lose this battle, everything is lost. But if we will take the measure of the enemies of freedom and prepare ourselves to fight them, we have a better than even chance to win."

We lost the battles today, but have to win the war. Fight On! When you tire, think of The Founders. .

“I just have to stress is that we need to turn western, farming, and southern states into pure solid pub states”

The GOP now controls 26 states and the Demons control 11. What a huge difference between those states. I think some Dems in the red states will be looking for new jobs in 2014.

I’ve been in California all my life and the time has come to leave this Democrat mess. I have three years left here then we can leave. The only problem is deciding which red state we’ll move to :)

We welcome good conservatives to AZ. Especially North of Phoenix. If you like small town life there are some very good places with great weather too.

Sarah is the best. I’m glad she is still involved and getting her hands dirty. The left really hates her so she must be doing a great job. :D

<...”If we were going to “shake things up”, we would have done it by now”.....>

No one can deny that Cruz, and those with him in the Rep. party, “shook things up” in Congress over these past weeks.....did you not see this happening? Did you not see the Hounding they got and the media’s badgering them?.....Not to mention the utter frustration and anger from the Demorats??.....Additionally did you not see the Vets removing the barriers in Washington and dumping them on the WhiteHouse door steps along with the thousands supporting them????

That’s all called ‘stirring the nest’....they know we are coming, they know the people are waking up and moving. ..and it’s gone beyond talk. The people are putting feet to their prayers!

Remember Cruz said over and over, as have others...the politicians alone cannot change the equation in Washington without the people. What Cruz did was ‘reveal’ the corruption and outright wickedness of Washington in not only who is governing..but how they are governing.

We lost this battle but ‘we gained the truth’ and the revelation of who needs to be outed ahead.... And remarkably the Liberals also learned just who was their enemy..and it wasn’t Boehner or the Rep. Party itself...they were blindsided, admittedly so, by those few good men within the Rep. Party, who took a stand.

McCain and the other Republicans who fought against us, and with the Demorats, showed us clearly who they are with. We will be knocking them out in the next election cycle.

So you are mistaken nothing changed...the entire Washington Elites were shaken, scared and more than troubled by what they saw from Conservatives.....and as much the Republicans who sold us out!

I visit Arizona often but never get further than Katherine’s Landing. Small town living +1. Looking for something close to the lake (within a few hour drive) we love boating, would like some space so I can’t hear my neighbors when I’m in my backyard. Any suggestions?

Just seriously go home. If this is your attitude, then you are no better than McCain, or a Democrat, but I repeat myself.

You are of no use to us, and are too much of a liability.

Unless conservatives find a way to spread their message (without the filtering by the mainstream media) they are preaching to the choir. They have to convince average Americans who are bombarded 24/7 with messages about how evil conservatives.

Until they figure out a way, they are wasting their time & money.

Here in NJ, Lonegan ran a strong race.
In my town he outpolled the totals of the sitting Repub. congressman’s 2010 results.
The results show this STRONG conservative lost because of the results in Mercer, Camden, and Union counties. These three counties voted racist(say Camden, Trenton, Newark). I would say against their own best interests....However that is what is taking the country down PERIOD
