Palin made comments to Hannity on FoxNews about a 3rd party threat if the GOP don’t come around to Tea Party principles but instead continue to do things as usual.

I have not seen anything to indicate that the GOP is going to engage in anything but business as usual. I see a GOP that signed off on the PATRIOT Act AGAIN, I see Boner going out to play golf with Obama and probably share a few tears about those mean old Conservatives, etc.

Unless we start booting Republicans out in the primaries, I see no indication that anything will change. Many of the same people who supported Bush over the PATRIOT Act and No Child Left Behind are still in Congress.

We are constantly told that a liberal with an (R) next to their name is still preferable to a liberal with a (D) next to their name and that we should automatically support them, even though a liberal with an (R) next to their name is still a liberal and is ultimately out to screw us over. The moderates running the GOP are doing everything they can to keep their power.

I don't agree with Palin on a lot of things, but she's right here. The GOP shows no signs of moving to the right, and a lot of us are going to stop paying attention to the letter next to somebody's name and start paying more attention to what a candidate or politician actually believes in and actually does.

For me, whether or not somebody is a Conservative is more important than the letter next to their name. A liberal with an (R) next to their name is still going to lead us down the road to socialism, they'll just do it a little bit slower than a liberal with a (D) next to their name.
