Behold the once mighty "Mama Grizzly," who abandoned her cubs and values for the spotlight and a 30 silver fish.
Damn girl, show some dignity.

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.

You are not duped. Trump is right for American now.
Deal with it.
This is why we need to put Cruz down with the eligibility issue.
If she had been loyal to Cruz and her conservative principals she would have endorsed him.
Yeah, just ask former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm!
This has all really gotten out of hand on both sides that no one knows where facts end and fiction starts.
I remember the Newt v. Santorum stuff in 2012, and this 100x worse.
Rush will be delighted to know that someone who considers him/herself a “conservative warrior” is eager for him to lose faithful listeners. I’m sure he appreciates your speaking on his behalf.
The piece is infinitely more entertaining if you imagine Charles C.W. Cooke reading it aloud.
Or Daffy Duck.
You might think it’s despicable but it’s what people were thinking. No more PC. I was talking to a relative after her speech who loves Trump and he stated “Man was she high, she really acted like she was high”.

You're right. Conservatism be damned! Constitution be damned! Bow down to Big Government run by Trump.
It's just like Socialism. The only reason it hasn't worked to this point is because it hasn't been done right. Big Government just needs the right person in the driver's seat, and Trump's the one we need!
All hail, Donald Trump. We fall on our faces before you and genuflect when we hear your name. Swoon, swoon, swoon, swoon ad nauseum.
Good grief, do you people know how you sound??
All hail Donald Perot. Just wait until Donald and his crazy aunt in the attic get under the hood and fix this thing.
As a more monthly donor, I question the wisdom of your post. You are alienating potential givers with any image relating to anyone on any side of our current battles here.
Oh, actually that's quite easy to figure out.
If you're a Cruz supporter, anything negative about Trump is gospel truth.

No kidding!
Ditto
Agreed.
I agree. I don’t mind a rough political battle but let’s not implode when we have a common enemy in the Democrats.
YOU are saying that. We are not saying that.
What you see is what you THINK we are, not what we really are.
Same difference.
