It's Official: Sarah Palin Readies the Fight For 2014

JC Callender said:
Would you say the the 2010 midterms were heavily influenced by the Tea Party? Would you say that Palin was one of the, if not the, most influential member of the movement at the time? She wasn't the entire election, but she did play a large part...she got people excited to vote. And where were all the anti Obamacare voters in 2012, when there was talk of reversing it?

No doubt the tea party played a major roll in the 2010 elections. So too did the independent vote which switched from 55-45 democratic in 2008 to 56-44 Republican in the mid term. You usually do not see that big a swing among the indies. But they were sort of peeved off.

But Palin and the tea party lead to O'Donnell and Angles nomination back in 2010 in two more states the GOP should have won. Akin and Mourdock are two more last year in states that should have been easy GOP victories.

I do think Palin's and the tea party influences is very big within the GOP itself and she/it is a force to be reckoned with. But come general election time, if they continue to help nominate candidates that are losers????????

Certainly Karl Rove thinks so. He's made it his full time job trying to get rid of Palin and Bachmann and the rest of his Frankenstein monsters.

Oh the irony is thick, isn't it. Rove created the tea party by catering to the trailer park types and Christian Right in order to win a few elections, and now, too late, he realizes that he created a Golem

If not curious, then paranoid.

I see Palin as someone who speak to you on a deep, might I even say, mystical level.

Correct! America was never meant to be some sort of Euroweenie Socialist utopia with no conservative voice whatsoever.

I swear, this post could have come straight out of Palin's mouth.

That disappoints me. I had thought we had finally found someone who truly understands Palin and her fight against impending communism.
 
I don't recall Palin campaigning for O'Donnell. She certainly didn't campaign for Akin, as she supported Steelman instead, who lost to him. I don't see what was so bad about what Mourdock said, so that one doesn't really bother me. And I don't know much about the Angle campaign.

I'll bet if you were a Conservative you'd be happy for Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Nikki Haley, Rand Paul, and the many others who she supported who won. She certainly has more wins than losses.

I said "campaigning", besides, I don't know if this is what you'd call a ringing endorsement:

On her support of Christine O’Donnell: When given a choice why in the world would I have supported the Liberal, the rhino, the pro Cap ‘n Tax, wishy washy on Obamacare [Mike Castle]. If given the choice of course I am going to support the conservative in that. And who was going to guarantee that Castle was going to win anyway…it’s a blue state. So given the choice, yeah, give it the old college try and allow the conservative in the race to have the message, the voice heard, and that’s what my endorsement allowed a little bit of a boost at least to allow some people to pay attention to what she was saying.

I think you're quibbling at this point. Palin endorsed all sorts of tea party crazies who lost their elections. Why do you find that fact so unpalatable? Palin is subliterate at every level.

I have always classified myself as a Goldwater Conservative, which isn't what a conservative is today. When it comes to politics, Goldwater, especially in the early days of shaping my political views, could be called my mentor.

Can you imagine Goldwater and Palin having a tete-a-tete around a conference table, discussing the important issues of the day.

Oh the humanity!

Her stupid comments put her out of the spotlight fast. I'm sorry, but she's an idiot and should not be heading the country. I hate the Democrats with a purple passion and I'd vote for Hillary before I voted for Sarah.

Her career is finished, and her relationship with that black basketball player pretty much sealed the deal with that. She's essentially disappeared since that whole thing went down.

The woman is donezo.

I think Goldwater would put her in her place. They are completely opposites. I think it was in 1963 that Goldwater said, “You don’t have to be straight to shoot straight.” A reference to gays in the military. He also believed abortion was an individual choice and government should stay out of it. He and Reagan had a few choice words over this. Goldwater also thought Reagan was spending way too much.

Conservatives today tend to disparage Goldwater, who was known as the father of modern day conservatism. The deny he was a conservative and say he was a Libertarian. Perhaps in today’s political ideology he might be, but back when the Republican Party was the me too party, but only a little bit less, he was a true traditional conservative.
