Sarah Palin: Senate kingmaker

CLEVELAND, Mo. -- Sarah Palin, Senate kingmaker, is at it again.

Riding a four-endorsement winning streak in Republican Senate primaries this year, the former Alaska governor swept into a blueberry patch outside Kansas City this weekend looking to apply her Midas touch to the latest fortunate recipient. This time it's Sarah Steelman, a former state treasurer running in a fractured Missouri Tuesday primary to decide who gets to take on vulnerable Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill in November.

With Steelman, Palin is making perhaps her boldest bet yet. Steelman -- who, like Palin, likes to hunt, staunchly opposes abortion rights and touts herself as a maverick -- has been running third against businessman John Brunner, who's poured millions of his personal fortune into the race, and six-term Rep. Todd Akin.

At least that was the case before Palin's arrival and the ensuing glut of media exposure for Steelman.

"They fear her," Palin told a few hundred people gathered at a sprawling farm a few miles from the Kansas border Friday night. "She's the candidate in this race who scares them because she won't go to Washington to just go along, to get along. You have that choice to choose, results over rhetoric. Convictions over consultants and Missouri over Washington."

A win would only enhance Palin's reputation as the most powerful down-ballot force in Republican politics...

How can this be? I was assured by dozens of people here, as well as hundreds, nay, thousands of pundits, journalists, RINOs and others that she was washed-up, a Z-grade reality star, a quitter, a clown and an airhead.

Romney needs to appoint Sarah as EPA director in his administration....

There are those here here just as they are everywhere else in our country. Don't pay any attention to them!

I hate politico! Never read them for garbage in garbage out.

Sarah will NOT work in mitt the maggot’s admin.

That’s called “being polite” which I guess isn’t taught much anymore. President Reagan had an 11th commandment, remember? And just about any major Republican I can think of, including former Vice President Dan Quayle and Secretary Rice would be a better president than Mr. Obama, or do you disagree?

[hoosiermama]

for the ping list.

[trisham]

I believe that the present occupant hates and is determined to destroy our country.

Sarah has always been a winner on my list. No matter what she does, she produces turnout, enthusiasm, patriotism, and strong pro-Americanism.

The Republican Party showed what incompetence and political insanity still dominates its “establishment” when they failed to support her. What absolute fools.

She is a Constitutional Conservative, through and through, and a true American besides. Her record, in all regards, proves her value, morals, strength and ability to contribute to saving America.

Im one of the ijits who would be right proud to vote for President Sarah Palin...

“She’s a rock star right now in Republican Senate primaries. She’s hit a pretty strong streak,” said Scott Bensing, a former executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. “She gives the impression that she has deeply held beliefs she’s willing to take on water for and doesn’t really care what her critics think. She comes off resolute and principled.”

Mr Bensing, let me set you staight. She doesn’t just give the impression, she HAS deeply held beliefs. She IS resolute and principled. If you DIPWADS in Washington hadn’t sold your soul to political power, you would recognize this for what it is.

Preach it, brother!

[smoothsailing]

Sarah Ping!

[cicero2k]

That’s not to mention her 75% endorsement win rate in 2010; which is spectacular. Anything in the high 50’s would be a winner and she hits 75%.

I thought 2010 may have been an anomaly. Wrong.

[tennmountainman]

Come on, everybody knows Karl Toyko Rove and his band of
GOP RINO’s think Mrs. Palin is a nobody. I mean just ask David
Dehurst or Richard Lugar. Or Bob Bennett. SAC.

The GOPe’s FEAR Sarah Palin.
Ok, so maybe you MO Freepers don’t agree with Palin’s endorsement. Bet you liked her Ted Cruz endorsement.
However, you got to hand it to her. Win, lose or draw,
she is not afraid to take a stand.
I hope you vote for Steelman, but vote no matter what.

and who wont vote for the degenerate Willard ...

:( Another vote for Hussein then... sad

God bless Sarah Palin and her family. She’s a true patriot.

Sure, Sarah can head-up the EPA and make only one announcement...IT'S NOW CLOSED.

Then she moves over to head the Energy Dept and opens everything up.

God bless Sarah Palin and her family. She’s a true patriot.
