Sarah Palin appears in Kansas Thursday to stump for Sen. Pat Roberts, the most endangered Republican senator. She could be helpful, but there's irony in her pitch.
Sarah Palin has come to the rescue. The Republicans’ 2008 vice presidential nominee – and big-time political lightning rod – took the stage Thursday in Kansas on behalf of the state’s endangered Republican senator, Pat Roberts.
Three-term Senator Roberts is widely seen as the most vulnerable Republican senator in the November midterms. A loss would seriously harm the Republicans’ chances of retaking the Senate.
Enter Ms. Palin. The former Alaska governor’s public favorability has declined since she shot to fame six years ago – but no matter. Among all the big-name Republicans rushing to Kansas to save Roberts, she like no other can reach the very voters who need to rally to Roberts’s side: tea party conservatives....

FYI to Sarah’s Ping List!
Why are we always having to accept these RINOS?
Even if it destroys the health care system and ushers in Obamacare? Or results in the courts being packed with radical leftist judges for decades?
People like you are better off ignoring politics and focusing on planning the second civil war.

God bless Sarah. She is doing what is best for the country even though she likely less than thrilled with the candidate.
I hear you.
But do you want Orman, who will support Obama & Reid? And what if Wolf comes out and endorses Orman, as is currently being rumored? That would be a betrayal of the highest order since Orman WILL caucus with the Dems, make no mistake. That is the reason the Dems worked so hard to get the Dem nominee off the ballot. All Dems are going to vote for Orman.
I feel your pain re your Roberts is out of touch & should retire, feelings.
But check out Roberts’ voting record by any one of the conservative outfits and he has a very conservative record.
And, as Palin pointed out, he was one of the few Senators who went to the floor during Cruz’s filibuster to defund Obamacare.
I hope you consider voting for Roberts for that reason alone.
Of course. Palin isn’t there to receive credit (nor Cruz); only calumny and blame. That’s the plan and the intent. Only Liberals (like Bob Dole) will get credit (hopefully, the line will be “well, at least he tried,” explaining away failure while stigmatizing people like Palin and Cruz with that same failure they so avidly seek to otherwise escape).
Politics 101.
What is your definition of RINO?
Roberts is either the fourth or the sixth most conservative senator, depending on which conservative outfit you look at.
That’s fourth or sixth out of 100.
That wouldn’t be my definition of a RINO.
Whether he has lost touch with his constituents or is too old and should retire are other questions, but as a nonKansas resident, I implore Kansans to please vote for Roberts to counteract my state’s two senatorial offerings: Blumenthal and Murphy.
Please, please, please.
“Even my hero Ronald Reagan gave us that witch Sandra Day O’Connor.”
Reagan would be considered a RINO today. Instituted gun control laws as governor, amnesty as President, and the O’Connor thing. (I imagine there are many more examples)
