Sarah Palin congratulated the Republicans on their sweeping victory in Tuesday's elections, but she also issued a warning.
"Now, new Republican Congressional majority in the House and Senate, please realize that Americans were not necessarily voting FOR any party; they were voting AGAINST the continued dysfunction and corruption in D.C.," the former vice presidential candidate wrote in a post on Facebook.
Just like the Democrats got "mauled" on Tuesday, Palin warned the same thing could happen to the GOP next time around.
"The Democrats got mauled today, deservedly so. To prohibit that from happening to the GOP in 2016, it must learn the lesson from the last time Republicans held the Senate majority. This time they must not retreat, and it's our responsibility to hold them accountable.

She’s right.
Conservatism wasn’t on the ballot last night.
What the American people wanted was to stop the Democrats.
Whether the GOP does that is something we’ll find out over the next two years.
Sarah doesn’t seem to like much of anything these days.
We will find out in the next few months. As soon as Obama EO’s amnesty.
She’s right.
I know!
I agree with the others. People didn’t vote for GOP, they voted against Obama.
If the GOP doesn’t show themselves as a real alternative, they are going to lose their momentum. Worse, they will find themselves blamed for Obama’s disasters. They have to have an agenda and create momentum for it. They have to put their warpaint on. I don’t know if they have any warpaint, or if its just mascara.
Brilliant quote.
If conservatism HAD been on the ballot last night, I would have voted!
I like to have a positive reason to vote. But that’s me.
Amen, Sister Sarah.
I will give them every opportunity to fulfill their commitments to us, and that includes turtle mcconnell and linda graham and mcpain and cochran and every other rino that drive our pure, pure, pure, purists batshit.
She is great! She really knows how to swing an uppercut!
Really Sarah Palin has got what it takes to be a great leader: President, SecDef, Treasury, SecState, anything.
Might wanna listen up.
Everyone voted for RINOs against their better judgement because the alternative was to keep the most radical freaks ever seen in the American Congress in power.
It ain’t cuz anybody thought Midge McConnell is a great reformer. Ask James Chao.
They stomped on the Tea Party that brought them the House in 2010. They dragged out the IRS hearings with no one brought up on charges even though these are capital offenses.
It’s a vote against the Rat insanity. If they really want 2016, they need to do real things about all the anti-American crap that was attempted by the gangsters of the Left.
Remains to be seen if they have the will.
Can we draft her for President?
Not only will the Republicans loose the next election, the media will trumpet the return to new Clinton Era as they help elect that awful, despicable bitch!
I can’t help but feel that the electorate was set up to elect the Republicans and usher in 2 years of scandal and incompetence which will be broadcast 24/7 by our MSM.
Some international crisis during 2016 will brings cries of
“Only by electing someone as strong and experienced as Hitlery can the American public save the union.”
Yeah, she’s absolutely right.
We want our country back and we’re in no mood to see the Republicans squander this final opportunity.
It's about time the GOP recognized that they are NOT the heart and soul of Conservatism and have not been for a while. If they enjoy successes at all, they can thank the more conservative people who vote 'Republican'.
I’m not so sure.
Hillary has huge money but looks so old, tired, and beatable.
The Clinton Crime Family just continued their long tradition of being toxic to almost every candidate they campaigned for.
Yes, their power will be short-lived if they don’t keep the base fired up, and being “Democrat-Lite” isn’t going to cut it.
Things could be quite different than we expect if McConnell is ousted and the entire Senate is on Cruz control.
*sigh*
A girl can dream, can’t she? I’m ready to see some testicular fortitude.
Like the rest of us, no?
