As the deadline to avoid a government shutdown approached Friday night, Sarah Palin pushed Republican Congressional leaders one more time to hold their ground.
"GOP: don't retreat! The country is going broke. We can't AFFORD cowboy poetry & subsidizing abortion," Palin tweeted. "If we can't fight to defund this nonsense now when we have the chance, do you think we'll win the big fight on entitlement reform later on?"

Notably, some of Palin’s fellow possible 2012 presidential contenders appeared to be at odds with her Friday evening tweet, counseling GOP leaders on Capitol Hill that it’s time to cut a deal.
“I am ready for a big fight that will change the arc of history,” Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., wrote on Twitter this afternoon. “The current fight in Washington is not that fight.”

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.....“Nobody’s more pro-life than me. Nobody. But as much as I want to see Planned Parenthood defunded, as much as I want to see N.P.R lose their funding, the reality is the president and the Senate are never going to go along with that. So win the deal you can win and live to fight another day.”

FYI
Well, Palin separates herself from the pack.
A sane voice in a mad world.
Rock on, Sarah!
Sarah, you’re the poet of our hearts,
Never change, and don’t you ever stop!
Thus the difference between the presumptive nominee and the pack of spineless RINOs...
Palin 1 Bachmann 0
Yet another example of why Sarah Palin will make a fine president.
A solid lead.
Dang, she nails it again. Best political instincts in the business.
The Annie Oakley of U.S. politics.
And to the naysayers: And Sarah Palin is not presidential material because...
God bless Sarah!
Go get 'em Sarah!!!
BS, this penny fighting is BS, gagging at gnat . If you are going to throw down for a fight let’s do it over rolling spending and government employment back to 2006 levels.
Can’t serve two masters. Michelle Bachmann appears double minded who while considering a run for president also has her eye toward reelection and is engaging in political calculations rather that real leadership.
This is why bo had the attacks never ending on Sarah, SHE FIGHTS! He will be trounced by Sarah and he is VERY AFRAID of her.
We don’t need no politicians.....
Yeah...I agree! We, as misunderstood conservatives, need to keep rollin' over and over and over...
I don't think so...butthead. Every battle is more critical than ever. Winning only comes to those who stand up and fight for what's right.
No, she does not. But she's definitely on the right side of the issue while Bachmann and Huckabee and who knows who else is on the other side.
I do think at this point Sarah Palin, Trump and the others in the GOP should talk to those wobbly ones soon.
