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.
Dear God...why didn’t the GOP run Alan Keyes in 2008?! The man is apparently unafraid to candidly speak the truth.
I don’t think I’ve heard her spend a single word criticizing anyone on the GOP side.
She saves all her fire for the Dems and the O. She seems to take a fair amount of “friendly” fire, but she shrugs it off. Her focus is on the Dems.
You have a short memory. The GOP did run Keyes against Obama in 2004. Obama won 70-29% and was established as a media superstar.
Easy to do when you’re talking from the sidelines. Don’t get me wrong, I liked a lot of what Alan Keyes’ was about during his last run but I would assume that when you’re not actually running, you can pretty much adopt a “damn the torpedoes” approach. Unless you’re Ronald Reagan. ;-)
Alan is right.
I like Sarah but this article does put things in perspective IMO.
Why not run Alan?
He is a Conservative Catholic.
He is not what the culture of death/greed/selfishness/sex anytime/GLAD/Liberals/socialists/fenced GOPers ect want for a President.

The GOP nomenklatura distrust and dislike Keyes, as he is considered (and can be) a loose cannon. He does not wear the party yoke well, and ironically is therefore more loyal.
His inverse is Colin Powell. ‘Loyal’, teamplayer, respectful, prudent and measured - and a backstabbing rat.
Keyes - not Hannity - was the first to warn the general public what a twisted radical BO is, principally with reference to the BAIPA saga. Right or wrong, Keyes pulls no punches. He therefore terrifies the business as usual ruminants.
I was proud to vote for Keyes in the primary, even though it was a no hope situation. I have always liked him.
I disagree with his assessment of Palin, however.
I believe that the fix was in, the Republican candidate had to be someone who wasn’t a natural born citizen. McCain was born in a public hospital in the city of Colon, Republic of Panama. He was unable to challenge Obama’s eligibility and if any Republican did so, then facts about McCain would be dragged into the political limelight.
At the time I thought it truly odd that McCain took the lead so quickly and no one was truly able to catch up to him. Later I discovered that George Soros had been donating money to McCain. It is truly troubling.
For me, the fact that Palin is associating with McCain tells me all I need to know about her politics.
Alan Keyes had his chance for fame when he ran against Barack Obama for the Senate in Illinois. He ran one of the worst campaigns in American political history, and lost in a humongous blowout.
Alan Keyes is an idiot, and a very mean and nasy man.

It was a Urriah the Hittite moment on the part of the GOP.
They meant for Keyes to be obliterated in a hopeless run.
I guess you know who killed JFK and Jack Ruby as well.
Extremely unlikely he can be voted out so he’s there until he quits or his term is up. No harm giving him a stroke. Maybe he’ll start to agree with her on issues.
Because he and his nutbag buddy Gary Kreep have made several million in "non-profit" contributions magically vanish.
She has to - the Rat & RINO plan is to turn her into a Perot, split the GOP, and thereby open the door for a focused Rat victory. It is precisely McCain and Steele and their ilk who are most anxious to use her in this way - and Sarah knows it, and is refusing to play into their hands.
She's just following the axiom, "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer," while the enemy is trying to get inside her OODA loop and sabotage her positions.
Agreed. You can tell who is really on our side by who supports REPUBLICANS and who seeks to sow dissent within the ranks.
I vote Republican. Obama is a pathetic idiot. And to any lurking Dems that don’t like it that is just too bad.
LOL!
George Soros has heavily donated money to John McCain’s think tank, called The Reform Institute.
Until it was taken off the internet, there was a long list of all the progressive institutions that gave McCain money, including those controlled by Mr. Soros.
And John Sydney McCain was born in the Republic of Panama, whether Republicans like it or not. The Panama Canal Zone was leased by the United States, it was never a territory and part of the United States.
As for the fix being in, well, who would have ever imagined someone like Barack Hussein Obama, community organizer born in Kenya, as our President?
I tend to agree with your post #14.
Keyes attacks Sarah ping.
What else has he got to do?
and he has a great track record of winning elections
