Palin drops the other shoe (Alan Keyes)
AIP / Loyal to Liberty ^ | 2010-04-12 | Alan Keyes

Posted on 04/13/2010 11:43:41 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

Recently I ran across a video interview in which Sarah Palin enthusiastically declares "I support Michael Steele…I think he's doing a great job. Michael Steele is an outsider. The machine, I think, is tough to penetrate--I think it's been good to have an independent outsider trying to create some change in the Republican Party."

Michael Steele has from the first day of his tenure been a spokesman for the RINO, pro-abortion, amoral, 'money is god' elite minority that presently controls the Republican Party. The statement that Steele is an outsider is an outright lie. He has for some years now made himself the tool of the elite RINO clique. There's only one sense in which Steele is an outsider. He's outside the purview of the conservative views of the pro-life, God-fearing grassroots' majority of the GOP's voting base.

Last week Steele went so far as to validate Obama's ugly abuse of the racism charge. To cover what he himself admits to be his "mistakes" he paired himself with Obama as a black being judged by a higher standard than whites. Obama has lied, broken every election promise, hidden all aspects of his background and never been called to account. No politician in American history has been held to a lower standard of accountability. So what is Steele talking about? Just like Obama and his verbal terrorists, Steele brandishes the charge of racism in order to intimidate his critics, and distract from the fact that their criticisms have a solid basis in fact. This gives aid and comfort to some of the worst elements of the Obama faction's media and political thugs. Will Steele stop at nothing in the effort to protect himself and silence his critics? How then does he differ from the arrogant Obama intimidators that as RNC Chairman he purports to oppose?

He imitates the Obama faction verbal terrorists, and Sarah Palin's response is to praise him for doing a good job. How can people who claim to be conservative go on blinding themselves to the truth about Sarah Palin? Just as they did when she was governor of Alaska, her actions belie her superficially constructed conservative image. In the critical area of her personnel choices she blithely promotes the wrong people, as she did when, as Governor, she boasted about putting a pro-abortion Planned Parenthood leader on the Alaska Supreme Court. Now she backs McCain, and heaps prevaricating praise on Michael Steele, though the words and actions of both men confirm their deficiency in anything that more than superficially resembles sincere, consistent conservative principle.

If Sarah Palin was authentically committed to the restoration of political integrity Tea Party people long for, she would be calling for Steele's resignation, not trying to use her popularity to shield him. I'm sure my words will merit shushing and the usual rotten tomatoes from people once again determined to hand the RINO GOP leadership another triumph of hope over experience. Do Sarah Palin's supporters want people to treat her the way the Obama's media clique treats him? Are we to be mesmerized by her words, but by no means analyze her actions? This kind of mentality herded people into supporting the betrayal of conservatism that characterized the locust eaten years of the Bush faction's preeminence. It's what created the void that Obama stepped into. The last thing America needs is more of the same, sweetened with a change of gender.

Sarah Palin's actions more and more confirm that she is pure and simply a 'Judas goat'. Her assignment is to gain some credibility with the disaffected conservatives in the GOP's grassroots base, then lead them over to RINOs like McCain and Steele (or Mitt Romney and Mitt Romney clones like Scott Brown.) She is a fabrication of the GOP's elite RINO leadership; a tool intended to help them survive what would otherwise be their certain political demise in the tidal wave of anger that is poised to sweep socialists, liberals, RINOs, CINOs (conservatives in name only) and other liberty threatening flotsam and jetsam out of their seats of power and influence. If this is the objective of the move to make Palin an icon of the Tea Party movement, many of the anguished, deeply sincere people who are pouring their hearts and hopes into the movement are simply being set up for another episode of heartbreak and betrayal, and this perhaps the last. If they truly wish to save America's liberty, they should first take care to save themselves this disappointment. It may be we have but one more shot at stopping the elitist juggernaut that means to overturn America's democratic republic. We must aim to make it count.

How do you know what kind of campaign Keyes ran?

We know because it was talked about a lot here on FR at the time.

Once, he got a little traction he switched gears into the 'I damn sure don't want to accidentally win' mode.

He's a great speaker, worse than terrible candiate.

And Reagan strongly supported and campaigned for Gerald Ford after being defeated in the primary. You “all-or-nothing” malcontents really need to give it a rest.

LOL, you know very little about Keyes then. He turned out to be a phoney race baiter in his Maryland Senate campaign, crying he got no money because he was black.

Well, then, I guess he ought to know the tactic if that is the case.

Doesn't make his statements about Steele any less valid.

We're 2 1/2 years out from 2012, and I already smell capitulation in the RINO ranks.

We have just had the worst buggering of any taxpaying population by elected officials since WWII, against its will, over its protessts: Now is NOT the time to give an inch of Conservative values over to the Liberals. America has desperately wanted a seriously contrasting platform to the Democrat Liberal Socialists, one which will herald the end of the descent into global socialism and the beginning of the return to the Republic we are supposed to have.

Playing the same tired old game of compromise, capitulation, and reaching across the aisle is NOT going to cut it, and will only guarantee that in the absence of a clear choice a somnolent electorate will fail to be energized enough to vote.

Those who will benefit from the policies of the current administration will show up to safeguard their 'entitlements', and the rest of us will be left wishing in one hand and watching the other fill up.

It is highly unlikely that a third party will succeed at the National Level,so it would be really nice not to be shat upon by the GOP again. Should they do so, they will relegate themselves, even in this favorable political environment, to minority party status for the forseeable future.

Ya notice how few are left in this country that actually stick to their principles? The flock follow the trends and compromise and negotiate America like some cheap stock. For proof, just look around at the state of affairs for the past 10 years.

Many have been hoodwinked, and were so preoccupied, they never noticed their country, right down to their electoral process and borders, have been undermined and compromised.

Profits regardless of consequences, compromise before country, party over patriotism has all but left America dead on the floor.

Dear God...why didn’t the GOP run Alan Keyes in 2008?! The man is apparently unafraid to candidly speak the truth.”

Maybe because he has never one an election in his life lol. He’s a joke and when he didn’t get money from the GOP several years ago...he cried race. This guy is not credible and thus your support for him makes sense.

Your post gives the clearest reason for this thread. Rabadash Rabs loves Ron Paul and hates Palin with a passion and needs to ally with all who criticize her. He lives for this kind of nastiness, it's what gives him his identity in life (somewhat pathetic, yes?). Ron Paul and Alan Keyes in alliance, LOL, who woulda thunk it!

But I think there is some wisdom in his critique of at least SOME of her supporters (for which she cannot be personally blamed):

Perhaps, posters who agree with Sarah and who disagree with you, are not "mesmerized" by Sarah. Perhaps it is you Charles, who is "PDS".

Or better yet, why don't you forget the they-must-be-mesmerized pejorative that you initiate and just debate the Sarah Palin things that you disagree with?

There certainly is a lot of knee-jerk attacks on any negative opinions regarding Sarah Palin's views;

It works both ways Charles and I would add that I've never been attacked for saying that Sarah was wrong to support McNut, for example.

BTW, to compare an enthusiatic supporter of Palin, who may be right 90% of the time, with an enthusiastic supporter of Obama, who is right Zero percent of the time, is just plain wrong.

The daily crap with this guy is both tiresome and disgusting. He enjoys the role of disruptor and gets his juvenile kicks out of trying to tear down Sarah Palin. It’s not enough that the democrats and lame stream media continuously try to rip her apart, now we have this PAULTARD punk pitting members against members in forum battles for his enjoyment. Sarah Palin is not the enemy. She is likely the best hope for our Republic, but she believes in competition just as we all do, so nobody here is looking for a coronation, but we’re sure not willing to endure sitting silently by while attempts to smear her and tear her down are blood sport on this forum and all instigated by one punk poster.

Anyone who actively endorses and champions the McCain vision for America is not "the best hope for [the] Republic."

Unless, of course, you're high on something.

Broken record...yawn.
