Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said the House Republicans who passed $1 trillion-plus funding bill late Thursday flipped American voters the bird.
Its baffling really, Palin said in an interview with Breitbart News on Friday. The Republican Leadership in the House just flipped American voters the bird by sidelining the new Congress we just elected.
Palins criticisms come the morning after the House passed a spending bill by a 219-206 vote. While the bill will keep the government open for another year, Palin and other conservatives are not happy that the legislation will fund President Barack Obamas executive action on immigration and the Affordable Care Act or as Palin calls it, the mother-of-all unfunded mandates.
It stinks to high heaven, Palin said of the bill. Did arrogant politicians not get the memo that Obamas agenda was decisively defeated in last months historic midterm landslide?
She continued, Good Lord, America said loud and clear, not just no, but hell no to Obamas failed policies.
Palin said she hopes that the 162 Republicans who backed the bill face backlash and called this an example of the GOP establishment campaigning one way and then governing another.
Its quite nauseating, she said. They promised they would do everything in their power to stop Obamas executive amnesty I heard their darn campaign speeches promising to do so! and yet when they have the power to do so (power that we the voters just gave them) they tacitly endorse Obamas failed agenda.

Ah, the GOPe’s transparency in full view.
go Sarah go tell it like it is
They did. And worse than that they, in my opinion, got away with doing it. What did [figuratively] to Conservatives was down dirty, and vulgar.
VOTERS WHO VOTED FOR REPUBLICANS THIS MIDTERM speaking: "Et tu, Boehner?" Referring to how Speaker Boehner betrayed and stabbed midterm Republican voters in the back with his passage of the recent traitorous spending bill.
BOEHNER: Who is Judas? Why do people keep calling me Judas as I walk down the street? Why did someone recently leave 30 pieces of silver on my doorstep? I only want what is best for America. As my friend Obama likes to say: "It was the right thing to do.God bless America!"
Oh Sarah, “It’s just not the right time” to tackle this issue. This “gets the issue off the table”. Maybe “when we have the presidency”. “We’ll only have two branches of government”.
Signed, the GOPe
They sure did.
I love Sarah, but she’s wrong. The GOPe flipped us double birds.
it’s just Palin being her normal ditzy self. Nothing new here . . .
/sarcasm
that’s what the MSM will say. or they may use it to hammer the GOP in congress. In which the dems/media should held to account for their hypocrisy.
Palin is either a ditz or right on the money, which is it?
Wow, The Third Article in as many days about Sarah Calling out the Uniparty giving each other a nice fat Christmas Porkulus Bill to cover each other for next year. >:(
Must have really struck a nerve!
Damn that was good Heastamp!
I should have used that line when I pinged Sarah's List.
It captures the Mentality of the GOP perfectly!
Thank God for Sarah.
Thanks for the ping, KC!
Fantastic. I still want her to run in 2016.
Ya don’t mess with Mama Bear!!
Sarah is spot on and no one should be surprised that she is right of that the GOP establishment has no respect for the Americans who put them in power.
Nancy Bonor is a liberal DemocRat.
So let’s see whether she is going to DO anything about what they did when the next primary season rolls around. I recall that she has been reluctant to go after John McCain, perhaps not admitting to herself that he put her on the ticket just for the sake of ticket balancing.
