News of poor conditions at a holding center in Arizona for undocumented, unaccompanied minors whipped Sarah Palin into a fury Friday -- so much so that she said she was on the verge of renouncing her ties to the Republican Party.
She then accused President Barack Obama of orchestrating the "crisis" in Arizona in order to advance his own immigration reform agenda.
"In this case, Obama’s refusal to enforce immigration laws and his blatant suggestion that his chosen illegal activity will be rewarded are proof of his tyrannical tactics," Palin wrote.

AMEN!
No, they like the perks.
Business Insider was referencing the original article at TPM (just to give proper credit):
Palin: Immigration Debate ‘Just About Driving Me To Renounce My Republican Ties’

That’s right. And half her vision. Half her intellect.
Frankly, Sarah’s more of a man than 90% of the Republicans. Go for it Sarah - it’s time. Many will follow.
If she starts responding to the name “Nigel”, we will know it has happened! I don’t think she is leaving the GOP. I hope she does not. I think renouncing her ties would harm her influence.
by promising us real immigration reform...
that will turn out in the end to be total amnesty with a conservative-looking face.
Me too. Rarely in human history have so many shown such little courage.
she then accused President Barack Obama of orchestrating the “crisis” in Arizona ...
I do wonder about that. do Senior Obama and his Mexican Counterpart have talks on such matters? I remember years ago reading that the government down there encourages the poor to leave to come to America
“I think renouncing her ties would harm her influence.”
Are you kidding? You might have missed it, but amongst conservatives, the gop is about as popular as a leper at a baby shower.
Kerry was in Mexico around May 16th, the flood started shortly thereafter, Mexico is anally corrupt and has very strict immigration laws. How did all of these well dressed (everyone is wearing jeans/cheap Levis end up HERE all of a sudden t? This is Fast and Furious on steroids!
This isn’t about courage. It’s about power and dividing up the spoils. The uniparty is just acting on a consensus view that their future is best served by destroying the American middle class.
Gun Running...and now People Running!
I’m beginning to lose my tolerance for the regime
Go for it Sarah - it’s time. Many will follow.

It is time and past time. I’ll believe it when I see it though.
The proof that it is ochestrated between Obama & Mexico is that these are OTM (Other Than Mexican) children. Mexico normally kills or otherwise discourages Central Americans from entering Mexico. Mexico knew these train loads were coming up & allowed it to happen.
Well, a good step. But that is not quite enough. Those that do must be willing to not support the GOPe. That is tough for many to do when it comes right down to it.

just a coincidence,,,,,
I’m not kidding. It’s a legitimate question. Would her influence be harmed by being officially on the outside? I have a concern about that. There are still a lot of conservative people who are registered Republican voters. They aren’t as tuned into all of this as you and I are. What does she gain by severing ties, what does she lose by severing ties, what do we all gain by her merely saying she’s close to doing so? If she leaves, does the GOPe get to claim victory? It’s not a real clear decision.
Ok, she wants to renounce her Repub ties, so she can become what? A Democrat? of course not. A libertopian? If so, she has to renounce her Christian beliefs, libertopians (for the most part, except for a minority that claim otherwise) are for abortion, atheism, same sex marriage, and other assorted Sodom and Gomorrah beliefs.
