EXCLUSIVE: Palin throws down gaunlet on primary challenge to Rubio, Ayotte
Brietbart ^ | Wednesday June 26, 2013 | Tony Lee

Posted on 06/25/2013 10:18:13 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who has the most influence among conservative voters in Republican primaries, told Breitbart News on Tuesday that Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) should be primaried for their support of the Senate's immigration bill.

“Conservatives are getting ready for the 2014 and 2016 primaries. We have long memories, and there will be consequences for those who break campaign promises and vote for this amnesty bill," Palin told Breitbart News. "Competition makes everyone work harder, be better, and be held accountable. This applies to politics, too. No one is ‘entitled’ to anything."

She continued, "Rigorous debate in competitive primaries allows candidates the opportunity to explain their flip-flops. So think of contested primaries as a win-win for politicians and their voters."

Palin responded to Breitbart News's request for comment about an interview she did earlier on Tuesday with John Gibson on Fox News radio in which she said Rubio and Ayotte "turned their back" on voters and should be primaried to be held accountable. Rubio and Ayotte will be up for reelection in 2016.

"Palin/Cruz 2016"

It may come down to that, or "lock and load"....

recall has already started for McCain.

Please do tell, I don't think it is binding etc, but an actual Recall Petition of McCain has begun?

Where do we sign up to be volunteers and or send money?

If it is just an exercise in shaming I am all for it.

The question begs is their one afoot for Nancy Gramnasty...

I don’t believe it will do any good in South Carolina. Because the good people of South Carolina love Graham like the good people of Arizona love John Mc Cain. Each time he is up for re-election, they send him back to the Senate.

From the video:

Rep. Trey Gowdy: Mr. Inspector General...it strikes me as a cultural, systemic, moral issue...it is a character issue; character cannot fix that...Mr. Inspector General, we need one recommendation-start over.

BTW, (IRS rigged election for Obama and democrats by shutting down tea party)
This statement needs to be repeated at every speech, interview, blog, editorial and dinner table by the Republicans, over and over.

who has the most influence among conservative voters in Republican primaries

Sarah Palin does influence me, as would anyone who speaks in favor of a constitutional government. It helps immensely when the person speaking of constitutional government actually reads and understands the founders’ vision for America in the Constitution.

The voice delivering the message is irrelevant when the message rings true. Sarah Palin is the real deal.

The R party could learn a great deal by watching Sarah Palin. She keeps sending clear messages that are understandable to the mass of voters of all stripes. She has few obligations to big donors or the politically powerful. She can operate inexpensively. She criticizes but is largely insulated because she isn’t dependent on fund raising to run a campaign. Her message gets out even if it raises the ire of the leftists who then spread her message because they can’t help but react to it. The R party doesn’t have a problem with voters, they have a communication problem. S Palin is showing them how to communicate—sensible, understandable, steady. Despite leftist attempts to bankrupt her, stop broadcasting her, even embarass her by using actors to make up things about her, she has a steady and appealing message. If she can keep going against the steady drumbeat of insult and opposition, she will continue to grow in popularity. If only 10 percent of Republican politicians could adopt her style, it would draw a great many voters who now believe themselves abandoned and maligned.

And let’s not forget target number one: Lindsey, the pathetic clown Senator from So. Carolina.

Ain’t it amazing how the ANTI-Palin group will complain about HOW she talks or HOW she sounds; but never can find fault in the CONTENT of what she says!

Sorry; I love Sarah and all she stands for; but POLITICS will NEVER turn this Nation around!!


 

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,

then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

The problem is they’ll run as independents and the fraudulent voter groups will get them elected. Alaska is a prime example.

We don’t need to primary rinos with more rinos. What this country needs is someone who will stand up and call on the people to do what must be done.
