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.
This is news to me. Do you have a source link for that? Would Soros funding Romney be next?
You know, there was a time when I actually liked Alan Keyes. He’s a brilliant man in many ways, is conservative beyond a shadow of a doubt and writes exceedingly well.
Having said that, he’s gone off the deep end because of his inability to get elected. He runs completely off a cliff with every conservative cause du jour. It’s a shrill cry for attention, hey look at me, see how much more conservative-than-thou I am, see how brilliant I am.
His defining public moment, for me, was pushing a baby stroller down the street at Notre Dame, with Cabbage Patch dolls covered with ketchup in it, in a business suit.
He’s gone completely ‘round the bend.
Do I have some misgivings about Sarah, due to her support of McCain? Yes, I do. I’m not about to throw her overboard due to that, not yet. Time will tell. Do I believe Obama is questionable, as far as his meeting the constitutional requirements for office? Yes, I do, but embracing that nutbag Orly Taitz did more damage to any hope for the constitutional case to be heard, than any Obama supporter could possibly hope to have done.
That’s what Alan Keyes has become, an inadvertant shill for conservative opposition, due to his automatically off the charts take on every single issue of the day. He’s a satire of a conservative. If he were to sign up to FR tomorrow and start posting this stuff anonymously, I’d think he was a POE.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Because he would have gotten three votes (assuming his mom is still alive).
Looked pretty much spot on to me.
From Sarah's support for McCain, which I could (barely) rationalize as one of those inconvenient political paybacks, she seems to be migrating further from the fold, not closer in.
Dr.Keyes' taking Steele to task for the race card seems appropriate as well.
Now, plenty here have expressed their disagreement with both Steele and Mc Cain, so I'm waiting to see just how many RINOS get supported by Sarah before the writing is on the wall around here.
Actions speak louder than words.
You really want the GOP to loes, don't you?
Ding Ding! We have a winner.
Sarah is keeping her eye on the ball. Obama/Reid/Pelosi is the unifying trio that will permit Americans to see the difference between statism and freedom. She is rightly concentrating on the real fight while childish fools play their games with unimportant distractions.
The GOP in Alaska tried all these games on her including trying to buy her off. They failed because she ignored the distractions. They wasted their time when they really needed to reform themselves. That was their only hope to prevent her from winning.
The Rinos are an endangered species. The voters will take care of them. Sarah must keep the focus on the future and where the Democrats want to take it.
AND, McCain was born in the City of Colon, one of two cities EXCLUDED from US control.
All you McCain is an NBC people need to do a little research. No, do a lot of research. I HAVE.
THERE IS NO DOUBT, McCAIN IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT, BECAUSE HE IS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. And of course neither is Obama. People born in a foreign country cannot be president no matter the status of their parents, military base or not, embassy or not, US ship or not. Not all US territories & possessions even qualify as US soil.
“The Panama Canal Zone was leased by the United States, it was never a territory and part of the United States.”
Correction!!!
The Panama Canal Zone was NEVER leased.
We bought every square inch of that land from Panama.
I know. I live here.
I’ve come to the point that Alan Keyes’ constant carping has become annoying. Michael Steele is a dolt, he’s demonstrated that in oh so many ways. I’d like to see him gone myself. But, to spin giant conspiracies out of a potential, Republican Presidential hopeful making statements of support is ridiculous. She won’t be viable if she comes out and says what Keyes thinks she should say.
The man is a cartoon. He’s not helping, he pushes hot buttons so hard they’re breaking. That no doubt does him some good as far as income from those who agree with him, and I’ve agreed with him on more than one occasion. It’s not language for public consumption, though. If National Lampoon were to concoct a satirical conservative, well, there’s no need. There’s Alan Keyes, bellowing away, pushing ketchup-covered babydolls around in a carriage.
Nuts to McCain but if he was born on a US installation or in some circumstances, born to US parrents serving the US in a foreign location, he was born on US soil and is a "natural born" American.
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.
Keyes on Palin perspective bump to self.

"Scotland Yard" was originally the Scottish ambassador's residence and was considered Scottish territory (back when Scotland was a separate country).
I'm sure this was done with the "natural subject" issue in mind.
You know, there was a time when I actually liked Alan Keyes. Hes a brilliant man in many ways, is conservative beyond a shadow of a doubt and writes exceedingly well.
Having said that, hes gone off the deep end because of his inability to get elected.

I sadly agree. Pat Buchanan has similarly curdled after election defeats. I still like both of them, but they cracked under pressure.
Contrast with Reagan after 1976.
Besides wet behind the ears, you must be certifiably dumb. Thanks to Alan Keyes, Obama handily won the US Senate seat in Illinois. DUH.
FYI, Alan is not a Republican, thank God. As for Alan, allegedly speaking the truth, Alan is a snarling sore loser, a man without a following. He's a bomb thrower, forever sidelined because he's not a leader. He lectures and finds fault. He doesn't inspire the best in others. He berates, but apparently that appeals to you.
Millions voted for Sarah.
I thought you were told "enough!", just an hour before you posted this, by the boss?
