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.
If it hasn't already been answered...rabs supports Ron Paul.
Wow
I am left without a response, which is quite an accomplishment.
Pretty dull posting so far compared to that ‘Lieberman’ thread. You think it’s because of the time ZONES? Still early in Ohio, CA, etc?
Dear God...why didn’t the GOP run Alan Keyes in 2008?!
Keyes is a true vote getter. In the 2008 Presidential election as a 3rd Party candidate Keyes got 10 votes in New York, 5 in NYC and the other 5 elsewhere in the state. That’s a true vote getter the Keyes fellar.
FAR apart too! ;*)
(Check a U.S. map)
Good morning!
It’s not that he’s too conservative; it’s that he’s a lousy candidate.
You never took geography, did you?
Because it would have been the most embarrassingly one-sided loss in the history of the Presidency.
But I think there is some wisdom in his critique of at least SOME of her supporters (for which she cannot be personally blamed):
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?
There certainly is a lot of knee-jerk attacks on any negative opinions regarding Sarah Palin's views; worst in my opinion are those "supporters" who either try to deny what Sarah believes, or insist that she is just ignorant of the right opinions, and shouldn't be held accountable; or that she is lying about stuff out of loyalty.
All of these do disservice to Palin, who is a strong woman with opinions that need to be respected, not dismissed when those opinions don't fit the supporters preconceived notions.
Well, Alan Keyes has been a lot of talk and not a lot of action, or at least not successful action. So when he lodges the same complaint against Governor Palin, I find it droll, to say the least.
I’d say he could win if he ran a competent campaign. The problem is he doesn’t seem to know how to run one. It’s not that he’s not smart enough to learn, it’s that he doesn’t seem to care.
“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.
He supports Ronaldus Minimus Paulus
“Dr.Keyes’ taking Steele to task for the race card seems appropriate as well”
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.
Fraud and charlatan.
Alan Keyes will be running against the GOP again in 2012, Keyes ran for President in 2008 and received fewer than 48,000 votes.
Alan Keyes did run in the GOP primary in 2008.
Alan Keyes also ran in the Constitution Party primary of 2008.
Alan Keyes formed his own Party and ran for President in 2008.
Alan Keyes recieved 47,694 votes in his 2008 Presidential race.
Alan Keyes has never won an election, and never will, he doesn't have to deliver his message in a way that the American voters can accept, he will never be a serious candidate for anything.
He’s tried. I’ve worked in his primary campaign.
However, Alan Keyes was the guy Obama beat to become Senator. He talks a good line, except when he proposes “Reparations” like he did in that race, but chokes in the race.
We had our suspensions prior to that.
Once she came out swinging for the latest McCain campaign, that was it.
Politicians or Candidates that aid and abet open borders and pro-amnesty politicians, will not get our support.
No compromise, end of story.
You can always write in Keyes.
A small percentage of voters are accounted for in the polls for protest votes, so you’re accounted for.
