Palin: ‘If Republicans Are Gonna Act Like Democrats, Then What’s the Use?’
Mediaite ^ | June 24, 2014 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 06/24/2014 8:09:57 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Sarah Palin joined Sean Hannity to weigh in on the latest election news, and Palin told Hannity that it would be hard for her to stay with the Republicans and get excited about them if they continue acting like Democrats and rolling over.

She took a shot at the “status quo” politics of people like Senator Thad Cochran and said the Eric Cantor upset shows people want strong constitutionalists in power who don’t represent “the man [or] the establishment” in Washington.

Hannity asked Palin if she would actually follow through on her previous hints she’d go third party. Palin replied, “If Republicans are gonna act like Democrats, then what’s the use?” She said the GOP needs to thrive and stand strong against the president’s policies, otherwise “it does no good to get all enthused about them anymore.”

“Sick. Everybody should call the RSNC and tell them vote-buying is criminal and we’re sick of crooks.”

They would view it as a compliment, a confirmation that what they’re doing is an effective strategy.

The republican party has been infiltrated and saturated with soft moderates that claim to be conservative, in other words, Democrats, certainly not (Reagan) conservatives. We haven’t seen that type of leadership in over 20 years. This is tactical, see rules for radicals.
Just like our great country, the way to destroy it is from WITHIN,

People should never stain themselves in the eyes of Yahweh by supporting pro-abortion, pro-sodomite Democrats. Leave graham blank. If the difference in vote totals between Graham and Scott are significant; THAT will send the message, Whether the GOP/DEM progressives give a damn will be another story.

I will follow Sarah Palin into the gates of hell. But hopefuly we can just take over the Republican Party since they are weak at the GOPe heads anyway.

The ruling coalition is united around several things that the people are against. They are skilled at setting up phony issues (or issues that don’t concern the Federal government) to break up the formation of any possible other coalition.

Republicans and Democrats agree that the purpose of the State is redistribution. How much, and to whom, and under what circumstances, there are disagreements. But no elected officials of either Party believe that it is wrong to take from you and give to another of their own choosing, for reasons that make sense to them.

Republicans and Democrats agree that you have “rights” - lots of them. They also agree that any question ABOUT your “rights”, or whether or not something IS a “right”, should not be decided by a political process because that is “divisive”. So, they both agree that the voice of “the People” as contemplated in Articles IX and X can only be voiced by nine unelected life tenure judges, and that five of them, at any time or for any reason, can give new “rights” and take away old ones, particularly if those old ones arise out of majority voting.

Republicans and Democrats all believe in “diversity”. They, ignoring completely the results of all social science research on this subject, and contrary to millennia of human experience and wisdom, believe that the more “diverse” our country, its institutions, and any private entities within her become, the more cohesive and productive we will become.

Republicans and Democrats almost all believe in “free trade” and “immigration”. These things are good for various constituencies of both parties while they wreck the economy and the nation.

Many of the People, perhaps a majority, do not believe in any of these things. But in our existing system, captive as it is to the MSM-mandated “process” for choosing two candidates for POTUS neither of whom will change a thing, leaves the People with no voice.

Something’s gonna blow.

Yup.. Start a conservative party and let the rats/pubs split the giveme vote.

We would always come in second or third. This is no longer 1980. Many Reagan Democrats have gone on.

“Yes, we are not going to take over the GOP in a couple of elections. It could well take a decade or more.”

Really? In this age of instant informatoin sharing it would take longer than the complete takeover of the Whig party by the Abolitionist Republicans? The Whigs fought abolitionism and it started the Republican party. Within 8 years the R’s won the presidency and eliminated the Whig party!

I suppose it was easier in the days when the electorate was only distracted by survival and didn’t have to worry so much about reality TV.....

“As usual they ignore us while expecting our support.”

It is actually worse than “ignore.” They are actively attacking their conservative base! Well, I’m done with them. I hope they enjoy their left wing, big government, amnesty base that will turn out in droves to vote D in the general.

If McCain had won, we wouldn’t have Obamacare as law right now.

Not that. I am one who is convinced that Constitutional conservatives must become the majority in one of the two main parties. Another FReeper has helped me see that the third party way is good for venting purposes only and cannot elect a President or a majority in the Senate.

Open Republican primaries in MS and SC will not work reliably to elevate conservative candidates, especially when these candidates stand for re-election. But those in authority will not close the primaries while this scam works so very well almost every election.

Disagree. Would have been signed into law anyway. (Are you talking about JOHN McCain?)

And Sarah Palin would have been stuck in Joe Biden's useless office for 4 years and could not have been as effective a leader as she has for the past nearly 6 years out-of-office. McCain/Palin would not have been re-elected in 2012 and Hitlary would have been.

prayer changes things.

i am praying every day for the right outcome this Fall and already praying now for 2016 and I am putting my faith in action behind my prayer by talking to friends and family in other states and making sure they VOTE according to Christian values!

I’d accept all that if we didn’t have Obamacare. No way McCain would sign it into law.

Haley Barbour, like all the R establishment, will always stand by another incumbent. They know that if they embrace change they could be the next one voted out.

Is a sticker campaign allowed in Missisippi? I am so hoping there is a write in campaign. So few people vote in primaries. If McDaniels has a write in campaign then we will see his true strength among REAL conservatives.
