Palin: Immigration Debate 'Just About Driving Me To Renounce My Republican Ties'

Talking Points Memo ^ | June 13 2014 | Catherine Thomas

[ROCKLOBSTER]

it’s apparent that Sarah Palin has bigger testacles than...

WHY WHY WHY?

Why does someone always have to say this? It's degrading and disgusting imagery. She may have more courage, she may have more guts, she may have more backbone...but not that!

Besides, women don't have testicle, they have.....other things.

[Vendome]

Hurry...

[don-o]

Why does someone always have to say this?

Sad to say, but clear to see, we have a great number of folks who do not put much thought into their comments.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

The Democrat and Republican parties are in essentials identical parties, in fundamental operation. They advance government to achieve social and economic goals, BOTH OF THEM.

NO. They are not.

The RAT and Republican voters are worlds apart from each other on issues, and that's who create the platforms. The elected RATs seldom betray their voters, unlike RINOs.

The RINOs are little more than RAT infiltrators who have taken over leadership positions in Washington. (why do you think they call them RINOs?)

However, you could safely say "The RATs and RINOs are essentially identical"

“Mexico is a corrupt failed state.”

It hasn’t failed from the perspective of the corrupt elite who keep the vast bulk of their citizenry in peonage while feathering their own nests.

Come to think of it, Mexico is quite the model for our uniparty kakistocrats.

“Look, look at this. We got Hurricane Grace moving north off the Atlantic seaboard. Huge...getting massive. Two, this low south of Sable Island, ready to explode. Look at this. Three, a fresh cold front swooping down from Canada. But it’s caught a ride on the jet stream...and is motoring hell-bent towards the Atlantic. What if Hurricane Grace runs smack into it? Add to the scenario this baby off Sable Island, scrounging for energy. She’ll start feeding off both the Canadian cold front...and Hurricane Grace. You could be a meteorologist all your life and never see something like this. It would be a disaster of epic proportions. It would be...”

“...the perfect storm.”

[RKBA Democrat]

“If we do not have the numbers to dominate the Republican Party how will we ever dominate the general electorate?”

We’re too thinly spread to affect the outcome. Relocate, concentrate our numbers, dominate. One group trying to do that is shown in my tag line.

[SgtHooper]

WRONG! NO refuge status for them. And do you think MX would send money north? Are you insane!?

[RKBA Democrat]

I think Sarah gets it in her gut, but I don’t think she’s ready to accept the reality that’s unfolding in front of us.

We’re facing political collapse and everything that entails.

Time grows short. I invite her to lead. We’ll see if she chooses to do so or not.

[RKBA Democrat]

“An official TEA Party, anyone?”

Not me. Electoral politics isn’t going to fix this.

[Finny]

My path might be successful.

On the contrary, it has been failing for the past 25 years.

What you call "my path" has zero to do with me. You seem to mistake it for a proposal as to a solution.

It is a situation I see coming, a prediction, a forward-looking observation.

Understand, Kansas. Whether you or I or anyone else likes it or not, IF the Republican party nominates another left-centered presidential candidate as it did in 2012, that candidate will be rejected by a majority.

That's all I'm saying, really. I'm saying face up to it, get ready for it, start thinking of ways to make it WORK for us instead of trying to prevent it, because there's nothing you or I can do to change it.

I would remind you, too, of the crucial reality: Risk is the price you pay for opportunity.

Voting "Republican no matter who" because of a "bigger picture" goal takes zero risk in attempting to advance conservatism, and hence presents zero opportunity to do so.

THAT is the reality before us. We must choose accordingly.

[Lorianne]

Sorry, I see this as an international disagreement problem.
Mexico is dumping it’s poor onto our nation rather than provide for them.

It should be sanctioned for doing so.

[usconservative]

Dear Sarah,

I haven't called myself a Republican since "Read my lips, no new taxes" became a broken promise.

Wise up already, the Republican Party is nothing more than Democrat Party Lite. Has been that way since George Herbert Walker Bush.

I say, Tea Party or Bust!

[Finny]

I think a lot of "Republican" voters identify as "NOT Republican!!!" because the party has, deservedly, a craven image. Romney wrote the original version of Obamacare -- he's Republican. Ted Cruz advocates for completely overturning Obamacare (and I heartily agree with him), and he's Republican.

So when I vote "Republican," which opposite am I calling for? If it's Cruz, what in hell is Romney even doing in the party? How is it that it's that confused and hapless?

Frankly, I think we're ripe for a game-changing new party, a second party. The Republican party represents Grade B Democrat even when it wins.

[TomServo]

Got enough of ‘em - thanks.

Ship ‘em to Alaska.

St. Sarah would love it.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

So when I vote "Republican," which opposite am I calling for? If it's Cruz, what in hell is Romney even doing in the party?

Read the platform, see which man comes closest to the voters' agreed upon philosophy.

RINOs are interlopers, democrats, and opportunistic unprincipled politicians. What the hell ARE they doing in the party?

It's the TEApartiers' job to get rid of them.

[Finny]

Then when the RINO locks the nomination, the TEA partiers’ job to get rid of them entails voting so the RINO loses. That’s how to get rid of them.

[TomServo]

Hate women? Nah..

Poseurs? Pretty much.

Especially those who beg for money under false pretenses.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Did she somehow force you to send her some money?
