That much is true. I like Sarah a lot but I have never considered her a part of the TEA Party movement
Rush said the same thing about 2 months ago.
....So don't ask me to prove it. I said so.
Doesn’t Sarah only show up at Tea Parties when she’s paid $100,000?
I don’t believe Palin to be part of the Tea party either, but if she insists on backing RINO’s she can kiss the Tea party movements vote good bye. That’s if she decides to run for anything meaningful.
Sarah Palin supports John McCain-STRIKE 1!
Sarah Palin supports Carly Fiorina-STRIKE 2!
Wonder what’s going to be Strike 3?
No that has been perpetrated and promoted by leftists, dems, the MSM and those within the Tea Party Movement that wish to promote themselves as the "leaders."
Most tea party activists know what the TPX is all about and have no problem with it being a promoter and acknowledger of the grass roots-ness of the Tea Party Movement
“Sarah Palin is first, a Republican”
How nice.
The left would love for her to be the leader--then they could do the Alinsky to her.
My take on Fiorina...FIRE REID...who stands the best chance of ousting Boxer and putting McConnell into the leadership of the Senate? Looks like Fiorina. Her bonafides look, to me, better than Scott Brown's and I was thrilled to get Brown into Kennedy's seat. And Boxer is as ghastly as Kennedy.
I also do not like the way Devore behaved after the endorsement. He should have behaved like JD Hayworth.
If we take back the Houses, Sarah will be one of the people who will deserve lots of credit.
These primaries are the most nerve-racking midterm primaries, ever. We must balance a desire for perfection with the desperate need to take back the Houses. Keep in mind, there will be yet another primary within two years.
She’s never said she was anything else, to my knowledge. The Tea Party is a very loose, informal movement and not a political party; while it may help coalesce support around certain candidates, it is never going to be on the ballot, and even if it were, a third party is the last thing we need because it would simply guarantee that the Dems would remain in power.
Furthermore, people who consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement have different priorities. While they may all agree that certain problems exist, they can have different opinions on how to solve the problems. Some people are focused on taxes and spending, some people are focused on opposing the “health care” bill because of pro-life issues, some people are focused on Barry’s miserable approach to national security, etc.
Some of them are going to be fully in agreement with Palin, some may agree with her partially, and so forth; but the fact remains that unless we can support a candidate from one of the two major parties (and it’s unlikely that it would be a Dem), all the Tea Party events in the world are not going to bring about any change, and we’ll be looking at probably the end of the US as it sinks into Third World socialism.
So, the one or two anti-Palin types that respond all seem to say “well, it's too early...” Yet it's not too early to diss Palin. So, why don't the anti-Palin folks just come out and say who they are rooting for at the present time, or are they just nay-saying to be nay-saying?
Will the “perfect world” conservatives in the Tea Party pry defeat from the jaws of victory? We shall see! I hope logic prevails instead.
Palin’s record as governor. her budget cuts, her governing from the state Constitution, her destruction of the corrupt pols in AK make her more a part of the TEA party than any of these RINO’s (Mitt supporters) will ever be.
I find it amazing that the Palin haters use every thing Palin does or doesn't do to say she isn't a TEA partyer. It's as if they want the leader to be someone else (Mitt, Ron Paul hint hint) instead. they want the anger and emotion of the Tea party to stay unfocused, unled, directionless. they want to have their guy/GOP party to be able to swoop in at any time and rattle the cage of the TEA party. To raise cash, get volunteers and votes yet not have to dirty their hands and tar their imagine as being a part of the TEA party.
Palin has spoken at the TEA party events, she has broad-casted the TEA party ideas across the land. She understands that if the TEA party remains leaderless then the GOP establishment (Mitt) will feed off it. that nutcases like Ron Paul will try to ride its crest.
there is a reason that the attack most made by the Palin haters is she isn't part of the TEA party. the mittbots and Paulnuts want that position for their guy not for Palin.
Palin is trying to play both ends against the middle just like her mentor Juan McAmnesty.
Sarah McPalin proved to me just who she is when she supported McCain.
Everyone needs to quit looking for the PERFECT candidate because it doesn’t exist. Look at the entirety and vote for the best...not the perfect. It’s pretty simple actually.
Palin knows full well that she is FAR from a favorite of the liberal, republican party elites. So if she has ANY hope of getting the 2012 nomination, she’ll have to play the political game to at least some extent.
The chiropractor in chief tells us who is in charge..... lucky for us.
The ‘tea party’ movement does not have ‘leaders for a REASON. Palin has NEVER said she is one, only that she and they hold common values and concerns.
Why must we tie all of our expectations to one falliable human and then be disappointed when they didn’t act as WE wanted them to????
