Go Home, Sarah. You’re Drunk.

Today we saw someone who was once a rising star in the conservative world explode in an inglorious display of crass opportunism.

Sarah Palin, that darling of a failed John McCain presidential bid, has resurfaced to throw her voice and her support behind the gilded toad of the GOP, Donald Trump. Where she was once a strong Tea Party leader, promoting free market ideas, limited government, and power back in the hands of the people, today she forsook it all, in favor of a big government, foul mouthed, Wall Street liberal with atrocious hair.

Far too often, we see that power corrupts and fame can be an intoxicating drug. Palin and her family became a political hot topic in 2008, targeted by comedians and tabloids, as well as the conservative punditry, anxious to foist this fresh, bold, "Mama Grizzly" into the limelight, and to sweep up ratings for themselves along the way. For a bit, it worked. Voters and TV execs alike were enthralled by she and her whole family. Daughter Bristol, as an unwed mother to a beautiful baby boy, even wrote a book about abstinence and toured the nation to give the warning to wait, don't do what she did, learn from her poor judgment! She even got a reality TV show out of it for a short while.

Guaranteed everyone trashing Palin here did NOT watch Palin’s speech in Tulsa today. She was magnificent!
No one fires up a crowd like Sarah! She said all the right things. Any Freeper worth their salt would cheer her on and shout Amen at everything she said!

[hinckley buzzard]

Speaking of obscurity-- who the hell is "Susan Wright?"

[SmokingJoe]

Nothing magnificent about selling your soul for 30 pieces of silver to a guy that stands for everything you are against including ethanol subsidies which Sarah Palin has been against for years.

[Democratic-Republican]

Wow, Redstate has turned into an absolute tabloid, hasn't it?

Yep, absolute bottom of the barrel.

RedState's very own meltdown was covered here back in August when fatboy missed his lunch or something and went full-on RINO ...

RedState's Erick Erickson: Jeb Bush Was the Most Conservative Governor in the Nation

As one of the commenters quipped: "Terry Schiavo was unavailable for comment"

I documented some of the insanity starting around #63. Erick lost control of his mind and then his Facebook page and website, then his sycophant fascist moderators went on a Jihad to ban all the upstarts, even though the victims are often the very same TEA Partiers that Erick claims to represent!.

All that remains of RedState is a caustic cabal of kooks who will say anything except the truth: We would rather lose with Cruz than win with Trump. Ironically that position is identical to the (R)epublicrat (R)INO establishment.

“Sarah Palin never gets drunk?”

I don’t know. Nor do you. Why call her a drunk?

[Aleya2Fairlie]

Why is it that some people never understand that the pure, slavering, ineffectual spewing of jealous hatred is oh, so easily identified as just what it is. It’s not even a sign of a political stance as this article would like us to believe, nor is it even an example of journalism, good or bad. No political beliefs or platforms are put forth, no reasons are given for such vile suppositions and no pros or cons on any issues are anywhere in this piece of smut raking. The best I can figure out about Trump haters from their articles is that his hair enrages them. Sarah Palin seems to arouse their abject hatred because her family is like most of ours; hers is just more in the public eye.

If Conservatives want to influence anyone they had better lay out their case in a more intelligent way. Just exactly what do you think that Ted Cruz is going to do for America that Donald Trump won’t or can’t? What will Ted Cruz do going forward that you think Donald Trump won’t or can’t?

I’m sick of hearing juvenile, snarky little innuendos and cutsey little comebacks. I’m sick of hearing about Donald Trump’s hair. Even comments about Hillary Clinton go no further than her pant suits and how old she looks. Believe me, that lady is more dangerous and deadly for this nation than appearances could ever describe. Such comments and dirty little comebacks might be entertaining for some. But how about putting some thought into why you feel the way you do.

Ted Cruz, for all his Conservatism, is not going to sort the sheep from the goats and ordain all the Christians if he becomes President. Only Our Lord can do that. While we’re awaiting His return; how about some conversation on the issues that confront America and what either of these two men can do to save us from the last atrocity we allowed to get elected.

[Cboldt]

The person who wrote that article is really bitter. I’d hate to associate with him or her.

[catnipman]

Sara Palin endorsed Trump because she knows that Trump singularly upset the whole election apple cart!

Trump set the national agenda with illegal immigration and other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they can’t.

The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they don’t have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle.

Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign “donations”.

Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates (Cruz excepting of course) and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.

Trump’s vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media has been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obama’s agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb.

Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol’, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration “reform”.

The media are loath to make the connection, but it’s obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trump’s unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs.

And we wouldn’t even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasn’t for Trump. Instead, we’d simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the “base” about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the “lesser of two evils”, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin.

And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires can’t buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isn’t afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice.

President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he can’t undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.

So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called “The Trump Effect”.

[Hot Tabasco]

This is why we need to put Cruz down with the eligibility issue.

I'm not going to go so far as to say that, because I like Cruz too. And I'm not going to stoop so low to attack all the Cruz supporters like they are attacking us, it serves no purpose.

This is a replay of the 2012 election where Romney received a vast majority of the primary votes and thus became the nominee but lost the election due to the stay at home "purists" who never voted or voted for some obscure candidate who never appeared on the ballots of the majority of the states. And yet THEY who stayed home blamed the election of Obama on the very people who voted against him.........Go figure!

[Aleya2Fairlie]

Just wondering, St. Thomas; ever heard of the Apostle Paul?
He at least gave what he considered to be an ass the opportunity to speak and look what happened.

[Georgia Girl 2]

If Palin had endorsed Teddy all the cruzers would be slobbering all over her today

[TheGunny]

Get a grip MPU!

[SmokingJoe]

Because she is acting like she’s taken leave of her senses?

[Jacob Kell]

I agree. but does Ted have anything to do with it?

[itsahoot]

He's certainly not mine. I will vote my conscience.

As you should.

You should recognize no candidate of either party will even attempt to stop abortion and that is the Truth. Recall that when GW took office he had both houses and it was never even mentioned. Abortion will stop when Jesus returns, not before.

[Garvin]

Hate speech disguised as an article.

[RC one]

This is a replay of the 2012 election

That's why Cruz needs put down hard and decisively. He needs to cease to be a factor in this election ASAP. I like him too and I even sent him a little money when he started out because he I liked the way he defended the 2nd amendment but he's a major liability at this point and he and his supporters are going to drag us down the same path that Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich dragged us down in 2012. Any opportunity to remove him from this race should be seized and this citizenship issue is definitely such an opportunity. All else aside, he really isn't constitutionally eligible. He isn't a NBC.

[Democratic-Republican]

This is a replay of the 2012 election where Romney received a vast majority of the primary votes and thus became the nominee but lost the election due to the stay at home "purists" who never voted or voted for some obscure candidate who never appeared on the ballots of the majority of the states. And yet THEY who stayed home blamed the election of Obama on the very people who voted against him.........Go figure!

The blame goes to those that put Romney on the general election ballot in the first place, whoever that may be in the (R)epublicrat establishment and rank and file primary voters.

But can we mention the fact that nominating the father of Romneycare takes the issue of Obamacare right off the table? The very same number one issue that drove the people into massive TEA Party rallies in 2009 and 2010, and retook the Congress. That was a massive kick in their teeth and obviously depressed those voters. Your position is that they should have rewarded the (R)INOs with their votes anyway.

And can we mention the fact that running a Mormon instantly depresses Christian turnout? Even a Catholic JFK had difficulties, so running an even smaller minority religion which is viewed as cult'ish unsurprisingly depressed that turnout.

And of course don't mention the fact that Romney decided against self-financing his election and relied on public funding which indicates he wasn't even willing to bet on himself. Pete Rose probably laughed at him.

So are we really sure that the (R)INO (R)omneycrat establishment machine were even trying to win at all? Or was it just a typical uniparty exercise of Kabuki theater? Heads They Win, Tails We Lose.

But the real answer has nothing to do with stay at home voters. In the twelve non-"red" non-"blue" purple swing states, McCain/Palin 2008 picked up zero and Romney/Ryan 2012 picked up exactly two ( IN and NC ). And only in Indiana was there any substantial turnaround ( +6% ) so the result was practically the same between the two campaigns. The slightly higher electoral vote difference above those two states came from the post-2010 census redistricting adjustment ( Romney had a slightly higher headstart than McCain ). Romney/Ryan actually received +1 million votes over McCain/Palin but factoring population inflation that is a wash too.

So if you ask me it is more accurate to say that the presence of establishment RINOs at the top of the tickets in both elections depressed turnout equally and predictably. But blaming the voters for the Obama wins is silly IMHO. In truth, probably no-one could defeat the historic dude with the magical skin color at that point in time, on the heels of a beaten and bloodied Bush43 limping out of town.

Why can't they just come out and say: How dare voters not support (R)INO Romney whether you wanted him or not?. That makes it simple to answer. Doing so further enables the GOPe to do it again and again. That's how we got here. But there is more ...

We heard the same thing about Ford/Dole during the Carter years ( it was a close election BTW ) especially during the 444 days. However, in reality it took Peanut Boy to pave the way for Reagan, because had Ford won in 1976, Reagan would never had seen the White House. A liberal would have won in 1980, the whole timeline gets skewed, and GOPe is still in business come 1984 or 1988. God works in mysterious, yet often predictable ways. If one year from today on January 20, 2017 we have a replacement such as Trump, history will have nearly repeated itself. Mysterious and predictable indeed.

[jpsb]

Yes, check out Amanda Carpenter at Conservative Review, hint she works for Cruz and she wrote this hit peice on Sarah FUAC, FUTC.

[MaggiesPitchfork]

So, the fact that Trump has been a lifelong liberal Democrat isn’t a legitimate argument? You don’t question his motives, don’t look at his history - not even things he said in October, for cripes sakes. Legitimate. LOL.
