PALIN WARNS HOUSE GOP: DON'T BETRAY WORKING CLASS BY PASSING AMNESTY
Breitbart ^ | June 28, 2013 | By Tony Lee

Posted on 06/29/2013 11:19:18 AM PDT by Jim Robinson

One day after the Senate passed its immigration reform bill, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin warned the House on Friday to not betray working class Americans by passing a bill that will lower wages and raise unemployment without securing the borders.

"Now we turn to watch the House. If they bless this new 'bi-partisan' hyper-partisan devastating plan for amnesty, we’ll know that both private political parties have finally turned their backs on us," Palin wrote in a Facebook post that also urged Americans to read the Breitbart News piece that detailed the importance of the working class vote. "It will then be time to show our parties’ hierarchies what we think of being members of either one of these out-of-touch, arrogant, and dysfunctional political machines."

Palin called the "amnesty bill the Senate passed yesterday" a "sad betrayal of working class Americans of every ethnicity who will see their wages lowered and their upward mobility" as well.

"And yet we still do not have a secured border," she said. "This Senate-approved amnesty bill rewards lawbreakers and won’t solve any problems--as the CBO report notes that millions of more illegal immigrants will continue to flood the U.S. in coming years."

Palin said independent-minded conservatives like her are "barely hanging on to our enlistment papers in any political party" because the "flip-flopping political actions like amnesty force us to ask how much more bull from both the elephants in the Republican Party and the jackasses in the Democrat Party we have to swallow before these political machines totally abandon the average commonsense hardworking American."

Palin has signaled in recent weeks that she is not going to allow Washington politicians to betray America's working class, especially if they specifically campaigned to put border security first and vote against amnesty.

"She told Breitbart News last week that, for instance, she would not mind if Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) were primaried for reneging on their campaign promises to not vote for amnesty and secure the border first."

My 2 cents,

It`s a one party State now.

The difference? One party thinks it can run the Beast System more efficiently and save money while the other thinks money is no object.

Time for a 3rd party, splitting the vote be damned.

Anybody who votes for this new amnesty is a traitor in my book, period. Including any in the House who voter for a bill and move it to conference, knowing "the fix is in" and the final result will be amnesty. Traitors all.

Isn’t amnesty a socialist argument?

I do not trust Boehner, the one time I believed anything Maxine Waters said is when she mentioned Obama has everyone’s file.

If Sarah reads this--I'm asking her to help South Carolina conservatives get rid of Lindsey Graham. The establishment GOP is scared of LG--and will be willing to sell out Republican voters to keep him. He's got Duke Power, and the powerful Democrat trial lawyers from SC and many other states. LG has always been a reliable vote against tort reform. To all you FRs out there who are angry at SC for keeping LG in office, know that we've been trying to figure out how to put him out of office. Honestly, I think I'll vote for his Democrat opponent (although the Dems here usually do not run a serious opposition, so much do they love Lindsey!)

Help. We need help.

Watched her being interviewed today on FNC reinforcing her position in protest of the Amnesty bill and threatening further loss of conservatives from the GOP ranks. Palin is not backing down.

Any chance for someone like Trey Gowdy to challenge him?

She is one tough Mama Griz who is in touch with middle class Americans, unlike congress.

She always been the very best, hasn't she?

Fox is lucky to have her back making headlines for them on the conservative side.

I would assume you’ve read Unintended Consequences. The Carl Schaumberg character reminds me of Schumer. From NY, and anti-gun.

From an insider's POV, it will be very tough to take on Graham. He's got a huge war chest from liberals out of state, because he's always on their side and even gives them cover. It is something--how you never meet a South Carolinian who has anything but contempt for Graham, and yet we can't seems to defeat him. People like Joe "you lie" Wilson even support him because he gets help from Lindsey...this is going to be a very tough nut to crack. Gowdey is a great guy, but it took a Tea Party surge to get out the liberal RINO incumbent whose name I forget, kind of a Graham clone in a stupid Indiana Jones fedora.

Palin could be a lot of help. She is popular and could rally the state behind a primary candidate of her choosing. I would even have campaigned for Sanford, someone I despise, against Graham. But notice that she mentions Ayotte and Rubio, but not Graham. Is this from residual loyalty to McCain?

Graham likes to pretend to care about the military because he was a military lawyer for a year or two. Mostly he loves to get the US involved in a lot of costly foreign adventurism. He can do a mean cross examination--he was a lawyer for a small town law firm in Seneca and could get nice personal injury settlements, but practicing law bored him. You'll see him do an impressive line of tough questioning against a liberal for the cameras, then vote however the Democrats tell him to. He'll get troops into Syria, when Syria is doing a nice job of keeping terrorists killing other terrorists. It is nauseating to see LG and McCain try to gin up sympathy for Syrian rebels, when these rebels have started using rape as a weapon against civilian women....

It is interesting to watch Palin circling around McCain. It must be making John real nervous, but she has already lobbed several little bombs right at his feet. She's created the "Leave them to Allah" in re Syria--an unforgettable meme that probably made McCain furious.

But taking on Graham in a primary would be like taking on McCain.

To all you FRs out there who are angry at SC for keeping LG in office, know that we've been trying to figure out how to put him out of office.

1. Start a drive to convince Jim Demint to challenge Lindsey. Heritage Foundation is great, but Jim could do more in the Senate.

2. If the open primary allowing Dims to crossover and vote for Lindsey in the Republican primary is the problem as some have said, maybe the right conservative could run as an independent.
