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.

Come on my friends! There’s no mention of those up for reelection in 14’. They include Grahamnesty and Alexander-both from red states! Whose going to challenge them on our side? It’s one thing to be angry-another to have an alternative. Ain’t gonna happen.
And she is right about Ayotte and Rubio
Again she was asked about her radio interview where she was specifically asked about Rubio and Ayotte. Maybe she will go after the others. I do remember her exclusive interview in February way before this bill where she said that it was time to challenge establishment republicans in the primaries come 2014.
Stay true Sarah!
That would be a good ticket. Palin could be trusted, Cruz hasn’t had enough time to prove himself yet, to us.
still waiting for a reply
I bet just the fear of a challenge in the future for some of these red state RINOs, even if they think they can still hold on to the seat but spend alot of money doing so, might hold some at bay long enough while we get more true conservatives in office to counter them in the chambers
It’s funny, when I went to see your troll posting history, all I needed was to look at the first two posts, as I post this.
Your first post was this silly troll post on Governor Palin on this thread, and your second post on some other thread, was a childishly excited post defending Mitt Romney, where by the way, you were wrong, Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney could not win his home state.
Quite a little world you live in.
But did she have any ‘debates’...good grief I can’t remember?
Palin is opportunist, political has-been, non-influential voice in the background... /s
LOL... I jest.
Go Sarah!!!
Don’t let pragmatism get in the way of inspiration. It’s the latter that motivates people into action.
Or maybe she felt her family was too vulnerable at the time.
One can’t run for president without a 100% burning commitment—and 100% family support.
It’s her pitch...comes across the same way as my sister’s voice.
The pitch warbles, for want of a better word, and why it grates on the ears at times.
Not sure more can be done for her then she already has done to correct that, short of surgery.
But heck..alot of people like it...calling it “earthy”.
I figure it’s rather like when Demi Moore hit the stage...comments were made of her voice as well...but it didn’t hurt her rise to fame either.
This troll could be Karl Rove
It looks to me like Sarah Palin is laying the rhetorical ground work for a Presidential run
She is learning how to speak in sound bites, staking out positions on issues, keeping her name in the press and improving her overall image.
Will it work?
Who knows?
Governor Palin has done a fair amount of debating, some of them are on youtube.
<....”No one can touch this woman who is against her because she also stands with God”.....>
Well I guess then God decided she shouldn’t serve beyond her Governship?..At least in any Gov. office.
You see “they” did get to her and made it impossible for her to run as we hoped for. And she won’t run for Senator either....she is loving what she is doing now, and excellant at doing so.
Just as she said...she doesn’t want anything or anyone telling her how and what to do...and she’s right!
“Its her high squeaky tones. she could easily change it with vocal coaches but she says, Nah. This is me. Deal with it. Gotta love Sarah.”
It is also the nasal Alaska accent.
Here is some high
squeaky for you?
I can’t remember..except when she was with deMcBain ..and they too often held her back or scripted her words. She couldn’t BE herself.
