EXCLUSIVE: Palin throws down gaunlet on primary challenge to Rubio, Ayotte
Brietbart ^ | Wednesday June 26, 2013 | Tony Lee

Posted on 06/25/2013 10:18:13 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who has the most influence among conservative voters in Republican primaries, told Breitbart News on Tuesday that Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) should be primaried for their support of the Senate's immigration bill.

“Conservatives are getting ready for the 2014 and 2016 primaries. We have long memories, and there will be consequences for those who break campaign promises and vote for this amnesty bill," Palin told Breitbart News. "Competition makes everyone work harder, be better, and be held accountable. This applies to politics, too. No one is ‘entitled’ to anything."

She continued, "Rigorous debate in competitive primaries allows candidates the opportunity to explain their flip-flops. So think of contested primaries as a win-win for politicians and their voters."

Palin responded to Breitbart News's request for comment about an interview she did earlier on Tuesday with John Gibson on Fox News radio in which she said Rubio and Ayotte "turned their back" on voters and should be primaried to be held accountable. Rubio and Ayotte will be up for reelection in 2016.

That is the best thing I’ve ever seen a politician say.

But the media and Obama let out a thousand other scandals (Snowden etc.) to hide the IRS scandal . what happened to the IRS hearings?

To: Bigtigermike; All
There are 6 billion 3rd world poor people in the world. So these morons solution to OUR problems is to pass a bill that will let them all into the USA. The Senators are evil villains.

We elected them to represent us and instead they throw open the border to let in countless 3rd world poor and criminal leftists to destroy America and our opportunities to make a living.

And common liberal/democrat voters praise this action when 100’s of million of immigrants will take their jobs , our jobs everything.

These senators who voted for this Anmnesty bill are traitors and villains. have you no shame you idiot liberals and senators. you are voting for them to take your job. Socialism doesn't work and that ‘s what you are creating a sociaslist state by allowing untold millions of leftists to invade the USA with this bill.

hey kelly ayote, Rubio : here's a clue : socialism does NOT work, you morons

This is not about Sarah's career or debate skills.

This is about her undisputed influence in GOP primaries. She is a force to be reckoned with, and you can bet Rubio et al are paying attention.

“This is about her undisputed influence in GOP primaries. She is a force to be reckoned with, and you can bet Rubio et al are paying attention.”

Man you guys must be smoking something. She’s not a force to be reckoned with, she’s a cheap political commentator that makes her money running around giving ra-ra speeches to guys like you. Show me her political organization in those states and how she is going to recruit challengers that have enough money and name recognition to go up against these guys as well as buck the GOP good old boys/gals RINO network. She’s all talk but not much else in my opinion and always has been.

It’s her high squeaky tones.

Annoys the HECK out of me BIG TIME but I'd support her in a heartbeat. I can always read the text of what she says as President. Unfortunately, I think people will actually refuse to vote for her because of the voice. Shallow yes... I mean, look what they voted for twice already.

And let’s not forget the 160% turnout for Obama in some districts.

Yes, it did and it started during the primaries of 2008. I recall Hillary Clinton stating that Fox News was the most fair and balanced News agency during the 2008 primaries.

Sorry but I just don’t trust lawyers and especially prosecutors which is what he sounds like from his overly emotional speech. This guy has been living off the system for his entire career, do you really think that he’ll cut his own throat by getting rid of the food source (your tax dollars) aka the IRS?

My question would be what did he do as a prosecutor that promoted freedom? Did he put a stop to unconstitutional seizures of peoples money and wealth? Did he crack down on the corruption in the police? Did he go after crooked politicians? Or did he do what every prosecutor does which is ignore justice and just push for as many convictions as possible, cut deals with known criminals, etc.

In terms of success, Palin was 7-2 for Senate endorsements; 7-6 for House endorsements; and 6-3 in endorsements of gubernatorial candidates.

Palin's endorsement of Joe Miller in the August 24 Alaska primary election for U.S. Senator was identified as a possible pivotal moment in Miller's upset of the incumbent Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski.
