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.

So far today on Free Republic, I have seen Ted Cruz supporters insult our founding fathers, our constitution, Anne Coulter, and now Sarah Palin all over a candidate that isn’t even eligible to be POTUS. The Cruzers are sore loozers.

Brutal, honest and 100% correct. I agree with every jot and tittle of this piece.

Rush is just now coming on. I’m going to see what he has to say about the Palin development. This could be the day I walk away from the 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. radio time slot after 24 years of listening faithfulness if he can’t remove his lips from Trump’s butt.

These guys have become the unhinged that they accuse Trump of being.

Why do they care whom she endorsed? Cruz has 5000 preachers that have endorsed him as they like to post on FR all the time.

It’s as if one Palin outweighs all of them....well I guess that explains it then.

What's really funny is that you guys think this kind of crap is actually helping your cause.

That is not the issue. They are better than you for reasons of their own imagining and if you don't worship their Golden Calf, it's Gotterdammerung.

After Trump assumes office, there’s going to be a lot of “conservative” pundits, websites, radio talk show hosts, and TV talking heads slipping into irrelevancy.

I made this observation the other day

Team Cruz will turn against anybody or anything that gets in the their way of gaining political power, even our constitution is under attack by team Cruz. Cruz is not what the founders would have considered a natural born citizen. In fact in their day Ted Cruz would not have even been considered a citizen of the USA.

"I see the attacks on our constitution are intensifying. Thanks a lot Ted Cruz. I hope I get to vote for your primary opponent when you run for reelection here in Texas."

Today I note the attacks are increasing in ferocity, viciousness and numbers also now under attack is Sarah Palin. To whom Cruz owns his Senate seat. It is dispictable that Team Cruz is attacking Sarah Palin. That tells me all I need to know about the character Ted Cruz and his team. Shame on you Ted Cruz.

Despicable to call her "drunk."
Despicable to post it on FR.

You're absolutely correct. I think it's fair game to say Palin is wrong because..., or I don't like Palin because....

But to slander a genuine conservative leader under the guise of just reporting a story, that's way, way over the line. This whole thread should be pulled, IMHO.

I, for one, could care less who Palin endorses. I’m smart enough to make my own decisions.

Why those of us who are stalwart conservatives are pissed: we were duped by Palin. She’s not married to conservatism as she has led us to believe. We’re like most people — we don’t like to be fooled, especially by someone in whom we put our trust for so many years.
