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.

Her voice doesn’t bother me at all. I actually can’t understand what it is that people are reacting to. Yes, I know, I know, squeak, pitch, warble, whatever. I just don’t hear the problem for myself. It just sounds like Sarah to me.

Ok, and how many rigorous debates has Palin done ? Oh that's right, she could have done them in last year's presidential primary

I don't recall her being a presidential candidate last year.

Just two sides of the same coin, sure Obama is way worse but it doesn’t matter. Even under Reagan the government grew and we lost some of our freedoms. You just don’t seem to realize that they say one thing but do another, sure the Republicans will pass some meaningless law every once in a while that will keep you from leaving the farm (like the boarder fence or marriage protection) but it never really changes anything.

Great video, thanks for sharing it.

As for lawyers, I went to law school with some of the finest, most decent people I’ve ever known. These people are ordinary human beings with extraordinary gifts. Yes, they can be turned to the dark side, but so can anyone. Anyone at all.

In this video Gowdy is reacting naturally to a great injustice that he has personally witnessed. If he is passionate in his response, I see no reason to doubt the reality of it. I lack his opportunity, but I share his passion. A great many of us who went into law began that journey with something that fired up our desire to see justice done. Gowdy, by my read, is just leveraging the phenomenal opportunity that has dropped into his lap to do some real good for the American people. I wish him Godspeed.

Could be interesting to start picking a Dream Team, either for the R2016 or for a brand new party.

Palin, Cruz and West would be naturals.

Yes, yes he “felt” bad about it and made an emotional speech. Wow! Now could someone answer my original question about this guy? Or is all I’m talking to just a bunch of weepy women getting all emotional about talk that results in no action? Go ahead, show me his actions or go off in a corner and cry about trolls.

With what we know about the libs, and the NSA, and Obama, she may well have felt her children’s life at stake.

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit.

So that means that you have no idea what his record is? Just asking as the last refuge of the true liberal is name calling, classic rules for radicals technique, when they have no coherent answer to a logical question.

Those are voters who should NOT have the vote. The Obamafone-driven ones.

Way below cats and dogs in the animal kingdom.

OK, I’ll retract that, she’s an expensive political commentator, given the digs she has in AZ and the money she’s making she’s anything but cheap!

Lol.

He reminds me of one of our most odious, slimy socialist politicians over here, Gro Harlem Brundtland.

“Mother of the Nation”, onetime head of the WHO and cheater at high-school exams. Who airily dismissed Reagan as a “failed actor”.
