One day after the Senate passed its immigration reform bill, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin warned the House on Friday to not betray working class Americans by passing a bill that will lower wages and raise unemployment without securing the borders.
"Now we turn to watch the House. If they bless this new 'bi-partisan' hyper-partisan devastating plan for amnesty, we’ll know that both private political parties have finally turned their backs on us," Palin wrote in a Facebook post that also urged Americans to read the Breitbart News piece that detailed the importance of the working class vote. "It will then be time to show our parties’ hierarchies what we think of being members of either one of these out-of-touch, arrogant, and dysfunctional political machines."
Palin called the "amnesty bill the Senate passed yesterday" a "sad betrayal of working class Americans of every ethnicity who will see their wages lowered and their upward mobility" as well.
"And yet we still do not have a secured border," she said. "This Senate-approved amnesty bill rewards lawbreakers and won’t solve any problems--as the CBO report notes that millions of more illegal immigrants will continue to flood the U.S. in coming years."
Palin said independent-minded conservatives like her are "barely hanging on to our enlistment papers in any political party" because the "flip-flopping political actions like amnesty force us to ask how much more bull from both the elephants in the Republican Party and the jackasses in the Democrat Party we have to swallow before these political machines totally abandon the average commonsense hardworking American."
Palin has signaled in recent weeks that she is not going to allow Washington politicians to betray America's working class, especially if they specifically campaigned to put border security first and vote against amnesty.

Absolutely...The infamous gang of 14.
>> It`s a one party State now.
Not completely.
Your not uncommon opinion is a “non-trollish” concern. There are a number of outstanding representatives in DC working hard for the Constitutional cause. And we need to work harder at getting more of them elected to office.
It’s good to be pissed at the flaccid representation that too often betrays our trusted votes.
Indeed, onyx!
Rubio is similar to Graham in that he is a useful tool for the Dems to have in the GOP tent. I have been thinking they won’t run a first team candidate against Rubio when he is up for reelection.
Right.
The infamous Gang of 14.
BUMP.
We’ll remember ALL of them.
It's gotten to the point that you can number principled conservative politicians on the fingers of one hand. I voted for Ryan and his squish running mate solely because of Benghazi. But I'm done giving my vote to these moderate pukes.....completely and irrevocably done.
McLame/Ryan says it all.
Good analysis on Grahamnesty, Mamzelle.
You’re right, having Palin personally intercede in the SC race could make the difference, as well as getting the Senate Conservatives Fund and Tea Party Patriots and other groups involved. You are right it would be an uphill battle, but I think it could be done.
This would be great, we could finish off the republocrat party.
“Run a stealth conservative in the Dem Primary. So if Lindsey wins the primary, at least there will competition for him in the General election.”
Great idea.
Illegal immigration is what separates the men from the boys. Illegal immigration is where the special interests meet on both the right and left.
You see, all the Dems and establishment SC GOP have to do to keep Graham in office is to make sure that the primary field is crowded and diluted. This is how Sanford, who is very unpopular, managed to retake #1 in a special election. And then the Democrats can vote in GOP primaries and make sure Graham gets in.
It's not as simple as just giving SC conservatives a hard time for keeping Graham in office.
If there is a state to start a third party--it is SC.
The Dems are out to empower illegal aliens solely for their vote, at the expense of the American citizen. SICKENING. THIS MUST NOT HAPPEN.
Republicans do not illegally break in to other people's countries. Illegals will never become Republicans and any Republican who thinks otherwise is an idiot.
The natural progression for immigrants aspiring to hold office in the US should be that people immigrate, they assimilate, become US citizens, and then, after they have taken that loyalty oath and are, for all intents and purposes, if they have children who are born in the US, those children can be "natural born". If they are born before that process has completed itself, they should not be leading a people whose forebears made much sacrifices so we could leave free as Americans. Non-Americans are now telling us how to live, and what to do with our lives and our property, and worse, they are opening the floodgates for more non-Americans to come in and outnumber us. Marco Rubio has been a trojan horse for the hordes outside.
That reminds me.. Last night I thought to myself “Who will be Hillary’s running mate?”.. Then a dark cloud consumed my thinking.. “Mayor of Los Angeles’ Tony Villaraigosa!” ARGHHHHHH!!!! LOL She would do this to get the Hispanic vote. You heard it here first.
yes. i’m with you.
take ‘em all down.
Very simply, obamatollah is leading a communist overthrow of America.
We are war with these communists - no time left to “make nice with other side of the aisle”.
“By any means necessary” we MUST save America and our Constitution!
