Sarah Palin To Campaign for Pat Roberts in Kansas Amid Lingering Grassroots Anger

Breitbart's Big Government ^ | September 23, 2014 | Michael Patrick Leahy

[Parley Baer]

“Does that mean that you prefer the Democrats and Mr. Reid?”

That is a legitimate question. Man up and answer it.

[ScottinVA]

What exactly is the problem FReepers are having with Roberts? Look at his background at http://ontheissues.org/Senate/Pat_Roberts.htm. Where is he showing up as "impure?" All I see are solid anti-abortion, pro-gun, anti-illegal alien, and other strong conservative stances. WTH am I missing here?

[NoLibZone]

Oh no!

My beloved Sarah would be booted from FR!

[meadsjn]

Sarah can negotiate from a position of strength with this.

The Senate Majority and Minority Leaders are two United States Senators who are elected by the party caucuses that hold the majority and the minority respectively.

If the GOPe wants prime TEA Party support for this general election, the prime TEA Party endorsers can very rightly demand a very public announcement from their crippled endorsee(s) that said endorsee(s) WILL NOT SUPPORT MITCH MCCONNELL FOR SENATE MAJORITY or MINORITY LEADER (whichever side the GOP happens to fall on).

It is legal. It is highly ethical. It is politic. It isn't binding, but then no one really expects US Senate scum to be honorable.

[Resettozero]

Apparently Sarah sees this possibility.. and gets to tell the GOPe: YOU LOSE. First by having to call me in, second by a real conservative replacing your boy.

Could be. Still, I'm scratching my head over this endorsement. Wonder what think the other FReepers who are already read-in to this move...?

[longtermmemmory]

it is very unlikely he will run again. it is better to have a republican conservative replacing a republican rino than an democrat incumbent.

[Dave W]

Because she gets it and you don’t.

[NoLibZone]

She also supported... Mitt!!!!!

The “represent the state” is misleading and meaningless criticism. The best way to represent one’s state is to vote for the things that help the entire country which is what Roberts does.

[DoodleDawg]

What if Roberts retires within a year of the election and the Gov appoints a young conservative to hold the seat in the interim?

Two problems with that. A) there is no reason to believe that Roberts would do that, and B) Brownback's got his own problems and is no shoe-in for re-election.

[Colonel_Flagg]

What if Roberts retires within a year of the election and the Gov appoints a young conservative to hold the seat in the interim?

As long as you're dreaming, would you like a pony?

[longtermmemmory]

the fact the establishment party types have to beg for tea party reserves pulls the party to the conservative.

[dforest]

Good point!

[txhurl]

One good thing about Sarah coming, it is driving the libtards insane on local message boards.

Here, too. The FR Harry Reid Fan Club is extremely upset.

[Fledermaus]

FU, it’s a retarded question. As retarded as asking “if you don’t support a worthless McCain or Romney or (for 2016) Romney again, or Christie, or Jeb” then you “are for Hillary”.

Take a class in logic.

[laplata]

Why is Sarah even there?

---

You don’t get it.

[ScottinVA]

I have heard that his votes on cloture are less than perfect but that’s about it. Heritage ranks him right up with Ted Cruz which makes no sense.

I agree. I'd like to know what makes Roberts so RINO-ish that he should be tossed under the bus.

[centurion316]

Well, you do have to make a choice. I think that it’s nonsense to make statements like yours without being willing to embrace the consequences. Your response is much more encouraging that what many others on this forum are saying.

The childish BS is coming from the pollyannaish notion of many that conservatism can win by purging from our ranks all of those who are not sufficiently pure, as determined by some self appointed vigilantes.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Oh, I get it all right. The RINOs won. And they’ll hand Obola everything he wants in the lame duck session.

[laplata]

She knows there are serious problems with the GOP but also know that destroying them without a viable replacement is suicide.

Exactly!

If some people here had their way, we’d be lucky to have 2 Republicans in the Senate and 5 republicans in the House.

They’re either idiots or infiltrators. IMO
