Instead of cheering the seats gained & the Tea Party influence that helped make those gains, Collins chooses to attack Palin for her efforts, as if she is a pariah.
What a fool. Does Collins think she will need Tea Party support in 2014 when she runs again? Or perhaps Tea Party support/votes are not wanted by her?
If this is the plan of so-called moderate Pubs, then the Republican Party is dead, & Collins’ 2014 reelection run will be a 3 way race that effectively gives her seat to the Rats.
Keep this crap up, you liberal, elitist Pubs, & you are gonna lose a substantial block of your former support to a third party - for good.
As for Palin, I really like what she is doing right now. She is a great spokeswoman for conservatives, & she drives the elites & liberals to say & do things that expose their many flaws. This is exactly what is happening here with Collins. I'd like to see her maintain this role thru the 2012 elections. There are plenty of great conservative candidates that could do a good job as President, but no one else tells it like Sarah. As President, she would not be able to be as outspoken & frank.
Sarah is young. She has plenty of time to be President. But for 2012 & beyond, we need her loud, unconstrained voice to help turn this country around.
