The candidate picks the party based on the party’s principles. If someone is a democrat then that means he is OK with their pro-abort, high tax platform.

NO, Sarah...We don’t *have* to do anything we don’t want to. We are *Americans*, and we will not be slaves, your partys slaves *any* partys slaves, any politicians slaves, and we won’t be *your* slaves. You want our votes, you *earn* them.

Piss on the arrogant Dems who have been trying to turn us all into slaves incrementally over the last seven decades, piss on the Republican crooks who think they can give us lip service and then steal the Treasury blind, and if you think we should all just conform to your will because you say so, then piss on you too!

You want to be part of a party that thinks the government owns the People, you better go join the DemoEnslavers, and take your scaled down, conformist DemboSlut role in the cage.

You have painted the picture that the Republican Establishment would like to happen. I don’t know if Palin is up to the job, as Reagan was, to defeat that Establishment and bring conservative principles to bear.

“One year of O’bummer has produced this shift. Eight years is absolutely enough socialism to sweep away BOTH MAJOR PARTIES and might be worth the pain. “

it could sweep away the GOP and the tea party candidate but there will always be a constituency that wants your money.

I disagree; the tea-party is not about a party... it is about standing up for liberty and against government tyranny/over-reaching.

I find all of this funny because here in AZ the tea party movement is already effecting the Republican Party. This is what you all must do. BECOME PRECINCT CAPTAINS..there’s a lot of power there.

I’m with you on the McCain thing in principle, though I can understand why she endorsed him. Dance with the one who brought ya ... if it weren’t for McCain, Palin would be nowhere. She owes her political future to McCain’s nomination. In some respects, I admire her loyalty for backing McCain ... had she backed Hayworth, it would’ve been a huge embarrassment to McCain, and a slap-in-the-face for the individual most responsible for her being thrust into the political limelight. I prefer Hayworth — and, ideologically, I’m sure she does to ... but it wouldn’t be good for her to stab him in the back. Her loyalty, despite ideology and personal differences during the campaign, shows character.

Well, maybe we can like her, but then vote Hayworth anywise.

Question for you then:

Does one do this by waving signs, or by getting elected?

I actually think that is what Palin would prefer ... she would just prefer that Hayworth get elected without her having backstabbed McCain.

Nope. Eight years of this clown would give us 15-30 million "new" voters who would vote democrat for three generations. There would be nothing left of our economy. Our military (what would be left of it) would be a fully demoralized EU style police force.

Don't kid yourself, a third party or an "I'm staying home - that'll show them" movement will kill the country then to be called "formally known as the United States of America".

But all Republicans give great regard to the GOP platform, right?

Don’t “pick a party.” This isn’t a football game. Pick your principles, hopefully the founders’ principles, and then pick candidates who faithfully represent those principles. Regardless of party.

There's the money shot - Too bad I had to scroll to here to find it... Though I am not surprised by who said it, in the least.

Should the Tea Party movement be wary of Palin's suggestion?

Absolutely.

Palin said that the Republican platform best meshed with the Tea Party’s creed.

Meshed? Like the Republicans "meshed" with the recall effort in California? Meshed must be another word for elbowed, co-opted, quashed.. stole! And what did the Party deliver? SchwarzenKennedy!

Maybe the Party thanked the thousands of private citizens who worked day-and-night to make it happen -- and appolgized for stiff-arming them in the face -- but I have not seen it.

Funny thing about those handout people.

They bite the hand that feeds them when it quits delivering meals. Or free doctors. Or electricity they can afford. Or starts seizing their cars because they cant afford bloated insurance and huge traffic fines

Looking at the left, and their mode of operation, I do not see something that will hold the hearts of the welfare class. They abandon those they think no longer useful.

Have you seen anything from the left that would indicate they wish to prevent total collapse? Or do they have grandiose delusions that they can cause a collapse and not bear the blame?

No. But Democrats certainly don’t care about the GOP platform.

Neither do Republicans, for the most part.

I reject your silly "American Military and veterans cave to politicians who abandon the constitution" scenario.

Semper Fidelis

And the illegals have been returning home from here in North Texas. Funny thing about no jobs - it causes that.

The TEA Party needs to stay Independent and hold both parties accountable.
