Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said the House Republicans who passed $1 trillion-plus funding bill late Thursday “flipped American voters the bird.”
“It’s 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.”
Palin’s 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 Obama’s 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 Obama’s agenda was decisively defeated in last month’s historic midterm landslide?”
She continued, “Good Lord, America said loud and clear, not just ‘no,’ but ‘hell no’ to Obama’s 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.”
“It’s quite nauseating,” she said. “They promised they would do everything in their power to stop Obama’s 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 Obama’s failed agenda.”

The “Root Cause” of this problem lies with Boehner and McConnell. They have to go!
Her political reputation with the voters at large is largely destroyed. remember they get their news in 10 second bites.
However, her political situation could be used to our advantage: Use her as a decoy or the political equivalent.
Sad, she’d would have been a great Vice President and later President.
Maybe one day she can be.
The arrogant politicians got the memo but thought that it was all about them and not a rejection of Obama’s policies and illegal actions.
They won’t understand the memo until they lose their jobs in DC along with all of the perks, exemptions and privileges.
Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Jeff Sessions are the kind of Republicans that Ronald Reagan envisioned. Populist, wary of big government, and not afraid to tell the party it’s wrong when need be. Bonehead and McCoward are corporate puppets, deaf to the needs of middle class America, and absolute sellouts to political power. When I heard Bonehead on Friday say something to the effect that this omnibus bill was a good bill and good for America I nearly broke my TV screen when I threw a football at it. I’m so sick of that sunlamp tanned, brainless, power hungry idiot.
The GOP leadership just rubber-stamped and gave what was once a defacto dictatorship, LEGITIMACY.
You just witnessed the final nail in the coffin of the Republic.
We are now officially, an Imperial Fascist Dictatorship with a rubber-stamp Federal Party Oligarchy.
And it was the GOP who made that happen and ‘made legal’ Obama’s Amnesty decree, fully funded ObamaCare, the Jihadists, and increased corporate donations to McConnell’s PACs so that the grassroots Conservatives are now going to be politically irrelevant.
Traitors and scum.
Enemies of liberty.
Not just Obama and his minions, but the GOP, who enabled and funded this ‘fundamental transformation’ of America into this fascist oligarchy we now have ruling us.
I said it before the election, the party of back stabbing.
Indeed. I'd say it's tyrannical.
Yeah, and that bird was a vulture.
Understatement.
GW Bush and Denny Hastert did the same thing. ‘Cept now, they are actually being called out right away.

When you are right you are right. Then the Senate flipped us the bird again.
My Congresswoman here in Michigan is Candice Miller.......How can I find out how she voted? I’ve been looking all over but can’t find anything.....
Time TO START A Campaign for a new “Speaker”. How about Louis Gohmert, Tim Huelskamp, Trey Gowdy, or just about anyone other than Boehner and any members connected to the current leadership??
I think we as a party have the same problems now with Republicans in the House that Democrats had in the mid 80’s (leadership) that didn’t reflect the base and blocked legislative priorities of that base!!!
