Palin: ‘If Republicans Are Gonna Act Like Democrats, Then What’s the Use?’
Mediaite ^ | June 24, 2014 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 06/24/2014 8:09:57 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Sarah Palin joined Sean Hannity to weigh in on the latest election news, and Palin told Hannity that it would be hard for her to stay with the Republicans and get excited about them if they continue acting like Democrats and rolling over.

She took a shot at the “status quo” politics of people like Senator Thad Cochran and said the Eric Cantor upset shows people want strong constitutionalists in power who don’t represent “the man [or] the establishment” in Washington.

Hannity asked Palin if she would actually follow through on her previous hints she’d go third party. Palin replied, “If Republicans are gonna act like Democrats, then what’s the use?” She said the GOP needs to thrive and stand strong against the president’s policies, otherwise “it does no good to get all enthused about them anymore.”

Maybe that write-in idea like happened in Alaska could be a possibility because I’m sure not into giving up and giving more and more elections to Democrats.

What’s the end game for you stay home on election day zealots/idiots?

We must not be discouraged. The GOP-e is struggling for political survival. Keep pounding!

Why do the two words “tipping point” keep entering my mind?

Half of the people who vote GOP are pro tea party.

The GOPe is turning off this large voting block. Their strategy is one of failure.

“It’s a marathon, not a sprint.”

Yes, we are not going to take over the GOP in a couple of elections. It could well take a decade or more. But giving up after a couple of losses would be a tragic mistake.

Same here. I am so disgusted and disappointed, I’m thinking it’s better for me to just not be so vested anymore.

I rearranged some stuff recently and it has been chaos trying to type a coherent sentence. Two corrections on that sentence.

Looks like another rearrangement of routers and furniture is on the way. SOMETHING is blocking the signal. One correction on that one after a dropout.

ARGH!!!

Because the GOP isn’t the same thing as the GOPe.

It echos in my mind as well KittenClaws.
We can all list the horrid actions of this runaway administration, but when we are forced to look at ‘our party’ and see such filth, I go numb.

As deeply as I detest Val Jarret et al, the sheer anger I feel at Rove and Haley the fat a&&, I could spit.
Winning by cheating is sickening, we are no longer a party of honor. Not even sure anymore if we’ve been since the great Ronny left.

yeah she is right. Time to start a third party and not wait another 4 years... If we had paved the way for this in 2008 or before, we’d be sitting pretty right about now.

Sure, and how’s that working out for us when the GOPe works against us. They have learned all the dirty DEM tricks and are using them against the Conservative base.

There’s a huge difference between McDaniel and Murkowski - she’s a DEM lite and votes with them most of the time - that is why we were mad. This is a different situation!

I live in Maine and I’m doing a write in for senator this Fall.

I won’t for Collins. Can’t stand the RINO.
