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.

Well said, tet68! Thank you!
Exactly Rush’s point too.
And all the gopEs are saying “When will that beeeatch go away?”
“Hillary is all the Democrats have right now.”
I don’t know...I think the rat ideologues are nutty enough to anoint that fake Indian, Elizabeth Warren, to be the rat presidential nominee. Let’s also not discount Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown or that fascist crank Cuomo, governor of New York.
I have a feeling that Hussein will go after her in a way that will amaze every one and she will act as if she has not been humiliated one iota.
“I like to have a positive reason to vote. But thats me.”
I have one that always works for me. Because I can.

The GOPe is perfectly happy with that as long as they get to grow the government and screw the people. It’s their turn.
Warren would get trounced in the General, even Romney would destroy her.
Hmmm. Where to start. First, Rove was so proud of himself last night so here is an interesting link:
However, not all the money in the world can produce the dissatisfaction that this administration motivated. Rove did point out that there were no extreme candidates (those like Todd Akin and Christine O’Donnell). Come to think of it, I’m wondering if Rove didn’t learn a thing or two about campaigning from the current administration because none of the candidates had to talk about specifics.
Now I wonder if the new Senate Majority Leader will fight the way Palin fights (take no prisoners) or will they treat this administration the same way our military has to fight the War On Terror, with COIN Rules of Engagement that allow the enemy to recruit, regroup, and re-engage after a declaration of decimation.
No they aren’t. They saved Pat Roberts bacon in Kansas. Brownback’s too. She and Cruz both.
In my opinion - Limbaugh is right on the mandate. People unhappy with “politics as usual” do not understand “politics as usual” - if by remaining silent and disciplined won the midterm battle for the Reps, then it would be a good idea to stay away from microphones on The Hill, stop speaking openly to the enemy camp, signalling what you are about to do to the in-the-tank media and roll up your sleeves and dole out to obama the terms of his surrender - as Cruz said “mouthful by mouthful” if he won’t eat the whole crow that is in one festering gulp. If obama goes out and demagogues - all the better. Do not. Do not. Do not waste a moment blowing balloon juice in the public eye.
I disagree to a large der\gree..although I agree the GOP has to do something to build on this over the next two years to really get national competitiveness back.
First, governors absolutely ran on conservative ideas and won in WI, MI, FL, and others. Secondly, in the Senate races, while they did not run on big conservative ideas, they did run on general principles of conservatism and overreach of government. Obamacare's failure was part of every single campaign which is the largest issue out there pitting conservatives and liberals. It was not a Reaganesque vision presented, but a strong rebuke of big-government...a central tenant of conservatism that wins when used effectively in campaigns.
Didn’t say they WOULD modify their stance. But let’s give this a shake-out period, whatcha think.
I agree about Palin. I am not a Palin fan and may never be. I am an older American with a CAR card. That is children of the American Revolution. I am proud that both sides of my family were in America long before the Revolutionary War. However, I am proud of anyone who comes to America legally and they come to assimilate and work their ass off and become solid citizens. I am opposed to sneaking across the border, filing for welfare and playing the race card. We have to get back to the America where- “You are responsible for your own success or failure.” It is not the Gov’s job to do this or that or to create preference for anyone.
