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 would Sarah, at this point in time, benefit from “attacking” the moderate-right portion of the right side of the political spectrum?
How would her losing the moderate’s votes advance the overall agenda of electing her to the Presidency of the US Government. How can you govern with a Conservative Perspective if you lose the general election?
Sarah best serves Conservatives by not alienating the moderates on the right (or left) while at the same time holding the Liberal/Radical/Socialist Dems feet to the fire.....when she is President she can lead the country to the the more generally accepted conservatism, and hopefully Conservatism.....
Sarah has her eye on the ball, and is not distracted by the heckler in the seats behind the dugout.....
And Alan Keyes is complaining/offering advise? How many elective offices has he held?
Reagan’s strategy of courting the moderates in order to win at the ballot box, and thereby gaining him the “Bully Pulpit” to promote Conservatism in government is a proven winner.....get your teeth out of Sarah’s ankles, complainers!

Because he did such a great job when he ran for the Senate in Illinois?
And I guess if she is going to be a real St she requires an advocatus diaboli
You’re forever sidelined in the political arena.
Lonely out there. Just howling voices that don’t matter.
LOL.
You’re forever sidelined in the political arena.
It don't matter, ya see I'm not the issue.
As I said, you and your groupies will just have to deal with it by name calling and or attacking others that have no desire to compromise their principles.
Good luck!
You don’t have any principles. You lost that claim with your support of the Stormfront candidate. Like I said, you don’t matter. Keep howling. Nobody cares. You leave here every night beaten to a pulp and usually by women...lol.
Palin expands her position on Illegal Immigration
Palin: we need to close the borders. They are called illegal aliens for a reason and if they are not going to follow the rules they should not be in our country.
It’s pretty simple I ratched that one down to the simple answer because its an easier answer than some politicians want it to make it be. you close the borders.
You get more agressive about cracking down on the illegal aliens and we take it serious what our border patrol officers are trying to do
Lars Larson radio talk show
LARS: The amnesty proposal that was defeated in Congress — in your view, was that amnesty for illegals and would you back amnesty for a path to citizenship, as the current president calls it?
SARAH PALIN: No, I’m not for amnesty. Let’s ratchet this down quite simply to remember what we’re referring to. Illegal aliens are called “illegal” for a reason.
We need to secure our borders and I am not for amnesty. And there are humane ways to deal with the 11-13 million illegal aliens who are in our country right now, but if they’re not going to follow the rules, they need to get out.
Stop with that bull crap.
That interview audio was about 15 minutes long and she spent like 5.6 seconds with that comment and they immediately went onto other softball, non-issues...I actually took the time to listen to it.
What happened since that obscure interview, where she went and who she supported tells the real story, not a 5 second soundbite.
Ya get Ms. Palin on audio saying:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. I am totally against McCain's past or present support of amnesty and open border policies.
2. I will never support an amnesty.
3. If elected, I will fight for strict immigration reforms and securing our borders will be one of my top national security priorities. I totally support the Arizona lawmakers that have recently approved a bill which will allow police officers to determine whether suspects are in the United States legally.
4. If elected I will support and encourage strict new criminal and civil laws and penalties directed at employers, that will prosecute employers, seize their assets, businesses, fine them and jail them for repeated offenses and knowingly hiring illegal aliens. I want new mandatory employer standards, which I will support and help enacted where employers will be required to confirm an individuals right to legally work in this country.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<
You show me the audio of her saying this in a speech or interview, and see gets my vote and support.
will you hold candidates to that standard? or just Sarah?
Yes.
BTW, what candidate and election are you referring to?
Ya think others reading this missed this type of response?
The resident political den mother serves up decks of race cards and cookies? How leftist of you!
lol...
Ya ignore 190 and instead post silly pictures?
Ya think others reading this missed this type of response?
That shows absolutely no respect for the owner of this site.
The owner, BTW, supports Sarah Palin but I know you haven't forgotten....you just don't care.
