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.

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.

"This time they must not retreat, and it's our responsibility to hold them accountable."

Or, as we say at FR : "Hold the d*mn line!"

“Sarah doesn’t seem to like much of anything these days.”

Respectfully, I wish more politicians would heed Palin’s advice. It’s insightful and I’m damned tired of politicians who feel free to screw the people who elected them into office

I agree with the others. People didn’t vote for GOP, they voted against Obama.

Exactly...I never made enough money to be a Republican but then I'm not too big on illegal presidents, open borders, arming our enemies, and men marrying each other or the gov't taking my guns...That didn't leave much choice...

Sarah rocks and she is almost always right on point

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.

America is waking up...The same people who put those Republicans in can and will take them back out if need be...
