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.

Cool, thanks for serving.
As a Reagan Republican, I appreciate our candidates who stay true to the ‘11th Commandment’.
Palin doesn’t have to say anything negative about Sen. John McCain and I’m sure he wouldn’t whine if she supported Hayworth. After all, he’s supposed to be a grownup.
But let’s face facts: loyalty is something a dog has for its master. Yes, it has a place in politics BUT only between like minded proles. And one has to be a primo politician to do that well.
Supporting McCain rather than a true Conservative is NOT an example of upholding the ‘11th Commandment’. There really is no difference between McCain and most Democrats.
I frankly have no idea what Sarah Palin is doing, but I wish her well, like most of what she achieved in Alaska, and sincerely want to vote for her in the future. But I suspect she is making some major mistakes by aligning herself with McCain. I sure hope he fails to get the votes and Hayworth wins.
Keyes is wrong.
Rush Limbaugh is doing the same thing as Sarah, trying to hold together the GOP. Smart conservatives realize we cannot afford to dismantle the heavily flawed Republican Party; we either work within for change or we get 8 years of Obama, and possibly live to see the Constitution removed from that glass vault and made into a huge parchment airplane, flown up the Mall.
The fairy tale that truer and bluer always means more successful in elections is a fairy tale. There probably isn't a single congressional district in the US conservative enough to reliably return Keyes to congress, let alone any statewide office he could win.
Good points....”The Rat and RINO Plan”.....bookmarked....
How do you know what kind of campaign Keyes ran?
No one is telling the truth anymore, not the media, not RINOs, nobody.
Keyes is an opportunist and a shameless self-promoter. Using their carnival sideshow-like tactics, he and his acolytes bring utter embarrassment to the pro-life factions. If Keyes is against Palin that only pushes rational conservatives further into the her corner.
By the way, Keyes ran at the top of his wee Party’s ticket in ‘08. He managed to get less than sixty-thousand votes, nationwide.
To 13 - Were you in on this?
/sarcsam off.
Agree. I don't think she is anyone's puppet.
That said, we should not automatically anoint Sarah as the second comming of Deborah - should not elevate her to "Messiah" status.
Trust in God, not in men (or women).
She is sly as a fox, but I do believe that her heart is in the right place.
Guess what both of John McCain’s parents were natural born citizens. His mom is still around and is 96.
Rhu Paul.
Yes. I know about his parents.
John Sydney McCain was born in Colon, Panama, and not in the United States. His parents gave him his citizenship thru jus sanguinis, so he is a U.S. citizen by statute. John McCain is not a natural born citizen.
“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.

Anyone care to impeach this statement?
Looks like another hot day at FR!
Oddly enough, both Keyes and Steele ran for US Maryland Senator and lost as did hispanic Linda Chavez. Maryland AAs always vote for white democrats over minority republicans. That’s not racism though , racism (to the MSM) is only when Tea party activists protest mandated insurance policies, massive deficits and higher taxes.
However, I do not believe Palin is involved in any type of conspiracy to bring true conservatives into voting for the Marxist lite Republicans. I believe it is more of Palin being a populist politician willing to do anything and say anything that she thinks may advance her career.
I finally agree wit Alan Keyes on something.
