Go Home, Sarah. You’re Drunk.
Redstate ^ | 1/20/16 | Susan Wright

Posted on 01/20/2016 8:51:08 AM PST by TBBT

Today we saw someone who was once a rising star in the conservative world explode in an inglorious display of crass opportunism.

Sarah Palin, that darling of a failed John McCain presidential bid, has resurfaced to throw her voice and her support behind the gilded toad of the GOP, Donald Trump. Where she was once a strong Tea Party leader, promoting free market ideas, limited government, and power back in the hands of the people, today she forsook it all, in favor of a big government, foul mouthed, Wall Street liberal with atrocious hair.

Far too often, we see that power corrupts and fame can be an intoxicating drug. Palin and her family became a political hot topic in 2008, targeted by comedians and tabloids, as well as the conservative punditry, anxious to foist this fresh, bold, "Mama Grizzly" into the limelight, and to sweep up ratings for themselves along the way. For a bit, it worked. Voters and TV execs alike were enthralled by she and her whole family. Daughter Bristol, as an unwed mother to a beautiful baby boy, even wrote a book about abstinence and toured the nation to give the warning to wait, don't do what she did, learn from her poor judgment! She even got a reality TV show out of it for a short while.

Did you hear Trump say he was not only NOT stopping the ethanol subsidies, he was increasing them? How the hell do we expect him to stop giving tax subsidies to other companies? This is pandering to the voters.
Meanwhile, Cruz sticks to his guns. He’s not for cheap labor.

Am I angry? Yes, I am. I’m angry at Trump for his charade. I’m angry at voters who would let this man rise so high in the polls, and an unwillingness to see how closely they mirror the Obama fans from 2008.

BINGO

Trump votes are due to ‘Emotion’, no different than 2008 Obama votes.

The logical, common sense conservative mind goes for Cruz.

Trump fans - Wake up and smell the coffee, quit drinking the kool-aid.

Good luck with that after you get a hundred million newly minted democrats.

This is the same kind of reasoning that dictated why Republicans should vote for Dole/McCain/Romney and look what that got us. I won't be manipulated by those kinds of scare tactics again. I will vote my conscience.

I doubt you are really a true blue conservative, in fact I doubt there are many at all. True conservatism requires a moral electorate and we are anything but that.

Interesting how you think you know me. I am a part of the dwindling moral electorate and have been dissed royally on this forum and IRL for such a stance. I believe God when He says that righteous exalts a nation, but that sin is a reproach to any people. I know He meant it when He told us that when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked rule, the people mourn. With these things in mind, I will vote my conscience.

Sarah Palin has suffered more ridicule from True Conservatives than any human should have to and yet you find the time to heap on more.

Palin left me. I didn't leave her. She signed onto a campaign train that I find less than moral. As a believer, she doesn't seem to be too observant of biblical principles, but then there are many believers who have disappointed me in recent months seeming to think that Trump is their new hope. He's certainly not mine. I will vote my conscience.

Perhaps a “Reading for Comprehension” course would be helpful for you. Somehow you’ve managed to conflate two different things. Nevertheless, I will wait for JimRob to invite me to leave or to notify me that you have been assigned the position of bouncer for FR.

Why do conservatives think it’s ok to slander each other?

Trump is not the best direction for our country’s future.
Cruz is.

I kept hoping that the decadence of her kids hadn’t affected Sarah. But clearly she has chosen fame and fortune over principle.

Just more brilliant debate skills from Cruz supporters. I wonder if Ted knows that his supporters generally just call everyone that disagrees with then a big stupid poopy-head every day in his name.


Shhh, we might give the Donald an idea of what to name-call next.

(I’m just kidding, actually, I like both him and Cruz)
