Sarah Palin: Uh, I stopped counting somewhere around 100 or so.
Im gonna be pissed if she doesn’t run.
Did she also send McCain a nice thank you note.
Her posting today is getting big coverage. Amazing what a FB posting did in such a short period of time. I knew she would respond today or tomorrow, but had no idea it would make such an impact. Way to go Palin and thank you so much tea partiers in Congress.
The vote fell flat by a narrow margin didn’t it?
How long do they have to wrestle this vote?
How does this make Sarah look better?
Her timing was perfect!
I think why Tea Party reps are holding strong is, for the first time ever, the 95% calls to their office supporting real cuts is getting their attention. Before, calls didn’t matter, repubs would just moderate and agree to alternate the bad voter votes. The hold outs are true heros, what happened to Allen West?????
Sarah Palin’s call to the freshman TEA party Representatives to stand their ground on the ‘debt ceiling fight’ is just another reminder of why so many conservatives want her to run for president. Unlike some erstwhile ‘fiscal conservatives’ Palin doesn’t look for excuses to capitulate to the Democrats on the serious issue of increasing U.S. indebtedness and permitting the American economy to crumble while Obama spends trillions more in borrowed money that we can’t repay and the federal government grows bigger and more intrusive by the day. Sarah Palin has the ability to influence many, including TEA party congressional Representatives being pressured by Boehner, that they are answerable to the people that sent them to Washington, not the politicians and media types that are trying to push them into voting against their principles. Sarah Palin shares those conservative principles and her encouragement to the TEA party members of congress is both welcomed and admirable.

HOLD THE LINE!!
They’ll have to come back to you. DEMAND a REAL CUT in spending!! Do not under any circumstance approve a debt ceiling increase!! Instead, insist on real spending cuts NOW!! The country is bankrupt. Do not allow them to take us deeper into debt! It’s time for the HOUSE to do its job of controlling the spending!
The federal government is bankrupt due to Obama’s reckless spending. Cut up his credit cards and force him to quit spending!
