Speaking on behalf of Donald Trump, Sarah Palin gave a speech last night to a Wisconsin Republican audience. Standing firmly on a platform of truth, Palin warned the mostly party (establishment) audience their decision to stand with deception in order to win an election also means placing themselves in a very precarious position.
The response from the audience to Sarah’s brutal honesty was what’s customarily known as “the collective nervousness of deceivers“.
Whenever anyone dares to tell the collective: ‘the emperor stands naked’; there’s a particular kind of autonomic group nervousness immediately evident. A group discomfort.
Such was the discomfort when Sarah Palin mentioned Senator Ted Cruz’s weak and opportunistic immigration position, and then contrast a real-life example of Cruz going to McAllen Texas (Saturday, July 19th 2014) to hand out “gift baskets” and welcome illegal alien families.
You could hear a pin-drop as an entire audience sat jaw-agape in disbelief.
So Sarah Palin brings some BIG TRUTH to those GOP insiders who gathered in Wisconsin; and, if we are to give benefit-of-the-doubt to those who heard it, apparently it’s the first time they became aware of Senator Cruz’s forked tongue on an issue. Hence, a gob smacked response.
Palin also pointed out another lie, when she reminded everyone that Senator Cruz never stopped the senate Gang-of-Eight amnesty bill. Despite Lyin’ Ted claiming on the campaign trail that he killed the bill, the reality is that bill passed the Senate in 2013, and it would have passed the House were it not for Dave Brat’s primary defeat of Eric Cantor in June of 2014 shortly before Sentor Cruz took off to the border with his gift baskets.
But Sarah didn’t stop there. She also fearlessly told the audience that Senator Ted Cruz was also lying about another policy aspect, his advocacy for the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal. And, more specifically, to the Trade Promotion Authority bill Senator Ted Cruz co-authored, co-planned and co-constructed, along with Paul Ryan in the House of Representatives. Again, Sarah was loaded with the truth.
The Republican disbelievers didn’t want to hear about that inconvenient reality either. Then again, when you stand boldly in sunlight the cockroaches never approach; they can only comfortably co-exist when they remain cloistered in the dark shadows of deception.
The media’s response to Palin’s speech? Well, initially (and immediately) they began accusing her of lying about the “gift baskets”. Then, after they realized everything she was saying was factual, they started spinning. Eventually, they dropped the subject – and that’s probably how it will remain today.
It’s easier to hide those uncomfortable truths that way. Well, at least until after the Tuesday election I guess.
Here’s Sarah’s bold and truthful speech:
But Son.....what about that ‘cloud’? That nasty cloud - is stuck to Senator Cruz’s forehead. And will remain there.
I'm not going to comment on anything but that undesirable cloud. I'm busy here Sample. I'm watching a golf tournament on cable. Check back with me on Tuesday.
Cruz has opposed Reid while Trump was supporting him.
Trump can observe ‘we always lose’, but Trump has supported those whose promote and implement the policies that provide the losing.
I think it may show a lack of understanding the problem.
HAAAA ha. Your stupid cheating lie is falling completely apart and you’re crying like a baby over it.
The tweet is a simple statement of policy. There is nothing mocking or teasing about it. It doesn’t become mocking and teasing just because you imagine it in those terms. Had it been intended as mockery, Cruz would have given some indication of that fact. But he didn’t. He simply stated his position: security first, then legalization for all.
Your candidate is a serial liar. That is the only rational explanation.
‘The tweet was private, and went only to Cruz’ followers.’
“I’m looking at the tweet now. I can see it. I’m not a follower.”
Is English your second language? Or do you have no idea what Twitter is?
If you’re busy stop posting on FR. Watching golf? That must be taxing your abilities.
The interviewer doesn't know what he's doing.
But one thing the 'interviewer' does know -is that that the dark cloud- is an indisputable fact.
I haven't stated anything to be fact. I'm casually discussing the rumors that we all know are flying all over the nation.
LOL!
Cruz refused to say he's been faithful when asked twice by a reporter.
TWICE!
"Bible Ted" is really Lyin' Ted the Hypocrite!!!
I won’t worry about that cloud as I already concede Cruz strategy to win lacking in the face of Trump’s popularity and a seemingly herd mentality.
I’d like to see Trump has the presence of mind to bring as many lower ticket Republicans with him.
Still don’t get it.
What does that have to do with anything that Palin said?
I thought it was one of her best speeches in a long time. Serious, pensive and controlled. The side of her many of us long to see more of. Good work, Sarah.
The one person who fought to win during the McCain Cruz for Senate campaign.
The one person acclaimed by all Freepers for that tenacity.
How soon they Tedlims forget."
Fixed!
I asked you a question in plain English and you did't answer it.
Why did Sessions vote for the amendments if they weren't a poison pill?
The left was right about this stupid cluck. Moose Barbi or something is what they called this half wit. First she comes to Texas and works real hard to elect Cruz, I was at the rally, then she spews lies and hate.
See what happens to people who support the Blonde Obama they lose all sense of smarts and integrity.
Hey Alaskan Barbi stay out of Texas we don’t need you we have enough silly hoes.
Is English your second language? Or do you have no idea what Twitter is?
Cut the BS. It's spam and It makes you look like you're avoiding the issue.
Yes, I don't use twitter. If a tweet went only to Cruz's followers, then how does a non follower see it?
But certainly not unprecedented, or especially uncommon for a medio-Cubano. If the rumors turn out to be true, and while I'm skeptical it wouldn't shock me if they are, it will be the hypocrisy and not the infidelity that does the damage. Which is always the weapon of the Left, who themselves have no morality but take on this persona when a Christian falls short.
Twitter users have a homepage just like Facebook users. Every tweet they make, unless and until they delete it, is displayed on their Twitter homepage. But some people choose to “Follow” a certain tweeter. This means that every time the person tweets, a copy of the tweet appears as email in their personal account.
Take me. I Follow Trump. I also visit his Twitter homepage. Typically I read his tweets at the latter site, because they are very conveniently displayed and easy to peruse.
You could, for example, visit Cruz’ Twitter homepage and read all his tweets. But only if you Follow him would his every tweet be sent to your personal account.
The idea that Cruz would bald faced lie to his most devoted followers is perverse. If he’s that much of a liar, keep him as far away from the Oval Office as possible.
Thank you, I didn't think of it that way yet. Good post.
