Palin: GOP Establishment Trying To Sabotage Paul, Gingrich

"Look at Newt Gingrich and what's going on with him. The establishment attack. They're trying to crucify this man and rewrite history, rewrite what it is that he has stood for all these years."

Damn this woman is right.

Oregontea   January 27th, 2012 - 1:35 pm

It is true. The establishment on both the left and the more left have chosen the candidate for us. I guess we just aren't smart enough to weigh the facts and make our own choices.

Run….Forrest ….Run…….

Libs_R_Wrong   January 27th, 2012 - 1:35 pm

Well, Paul sort of self-destructs.

Sarsipious   January 27th, 2012 - 1:37 pm

Newt sorta does to. Great to watch tho

snailmailtrucker   January 27th, 2012 - 1:37 pm

Sarah Palin in one very wise Conservative woman !

In a sane World, Sarah would be a fantastic President of the USA !

afreegreek   January 27th, 2012 - 1:37 pm

such a beautiful woman.. I have to look away to catch what she's saying..

GibbsAH   January 27th, 2012 - 1:38 pm

Stossel is the best news show on TV

Cowboy Logic   January 27th, 2012 - 1:38 pm

On this, Sarah Palin is absolutely 100% correct.

EricBrodin   January 27th, 2012 - 1:40 pm

……What he said!

NotKennedy   January 27th, 2012 - 1:42 pm

This GOP has become just another subversive organization, intent on manipulating the system and depriving conservatives of a candidate of our own choosing.

★FALCON★   January 27th, 2012 - 1:43 pm

I totally agree – but why did she endorse McCain? We could be one step closer to purging all the establishment regressives.

Moving forward – I think we need to have more accountability from the "endorsors".

Whats_Up   January 27th, 2012 - 1:43 pm

The arrogant, self-righteous GOP can suck the scum-sucking pond water they live in.

They are ALL about POWER and CONTROL – not "WE the PEOPLE". May they and the DemOcraps go the way of the WHIGS – extinction. We've possibly one more chance to turn this boat around …and the States had better put into action their ability to secede.

Libs_R_Wrong   January 27th, 2012 - 1:44 pm

When does the Tea Party get to #OccupyGOP?

Oregontea   January 27th, 2012 - 1:45 pm

I agree. Why else would the RNC chair agree to a bunch of debates (19 so far ) mostly moderated by Democrats?

Cowboy Logic   January 27th, 2012 - 1:45 pm

But, it is cheap entertainment to watch.

PoutingPOTUS   January 27th, 2012 - 1:46 pm

Nice nip and tuck….

duh_swami   January 27th, 2012 - 1:46 pm

She calls them the establishment, I call them self appointed Royalty…The US government has turned into a Royal court complete with a King and Queen, numerous Princesses and Princes and a lot of Knaves to do the heavy lifting…Their motto is, 'Let them eat cake', and their mantra is, 'On my honor I will do my best, to take my share and steal the rest'…Can you see it? Only Santorum can fix this…As far as I can tell, there is nothing Royal about him…

Libtard   January 27th, 2012 - 1:49 pm

Do you mean endorsing McCain in 2010? That's pretty easy. Loyalty for him picking her in 2008. She could (and probably should) have simply stayed out of it (though I don't think it would have made a difference).

JD Hayworth would have been a good replacement for McCain, but honestly, there are plenty of "Moderates" (Snow, Collins, etc) I'd prefer to have gone first.

McCain played that "Maverick" BS in the hopes that the Media would love him and it would make him President. He was wrong.

NotKennedy   January 27th, 2012 - 1:50 pm

Probably never :-) There is a system that has served America pretty well, before this generation. What the #Obama folks are doing is illegal and should never have been indulged from the beginning. If our candidates who then suceed to office fail to represent us, we can replace them too. All politics is local politics, keep an eye on who is doing what in the places where you live.

Omnivorous   January 27th, 2012 - 1:51 pm

I've been saying this for some time.

LibertyWriter   January 27th, 2012 - 1:52 pm

Endorse McCain? Is he the stealth candidate the RNC will put forward when Romney burns out?

Libs_R_Wrong   January 27th, 2012 - 1:53 pm

I live in the bluest city in my state and would have to grow 100 eyes like Argus to do that!

easye2984   January 27th, 2012 - 1:54 pm

And today even after the coordinated attacks, Gingrich still leads Romney nationally among R voters…. Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll finds Republicans across the country favoring Gingrich 37% to 28% over Romney. Wake up Florida!!

★FALCON★   January 27th, 2012 - 1:58 pm

Right, I understand all of that – McCain then turns around and gives America a big middle finger with the NDAA.

I think that's about as evil as it gets.

foxxismylastname   January 27th, 2012 - 1:58 pm

They want Romney. They want to pre pick our candidate. They dont care what the people want. Guess they dont want my vote.

easye2984   January 27th, 2012 - 1:59 pm

Notice how all the paid commenters from the Romney campaign who were on this website strongly supporting Romney and the establishment by posting hundreds of spam-like messages earlier this week are mysteriously gone.

nceeno   January 27th, 2012 - 1:59 pm

Anyone who lived in reality during Newt's Speakership knows what Newt stands for.
Newt.

ZeroZero_00   January 27th, 2012 - 1:59 pm

Stop being anti-Paul zealots…ok you disagree with him on a few important issues and some of his supporters are obnoxious (hell…even Murray Rothbard admitted that he finds many Libertarians disgusting), but stop the irrational hating. The 2 sides need each other, they need to find common ground.

This woman is a voice of reason.

Cult_Hero   January 27th, 2012 - 2:00 pm

Wait a minute… I thought Sarah Palin was now part of the "Establishment". If not, who exactly is/are this "Establishment" that the Gnewters are complaining about so much? It seems to me that most prominent people in the Republican party are split pretty equally behind each of the candidates. The pundits are throwing around that word a bit too much whenever the Gnewtered One has his dirty laundry made public. Rush Limbaugh may be the biggest (no pun intended) offender when it comes to blaming the "Establishment". It's a pretty handy buzzword, I'll admit, being able to blame an unidentified group of people for unscrupulous behavior in order to bolster your chosen candidate. I think in most circles where people are somewhat educated that's called a "Strawman" argument.

antilibterds   January 27th, 2012 - 2:01 pm

The RNC better not subvert the will of the American people for if they try they might as well switch to the democrat party

judefour   January 27th, 2012 - 2:04 pm

She doesn't connect the dots concerning Mr Paul's foreign policy. Firstly, the country cannot pay for continuing intervention regardless of how strong a case can be made for it. Secondly, intervention is opposed to the law of the land (the constitution); the just war theory would exclude the policy of intervention, unless there was specific and certain imminency about the perceived threat. Thirdly, non-intervention has nothing to do with being an "isolated type country". She parrots that talking point because it has been falsely asserted so many times (emphasis on falsely). The comparing of Mr Gingrich and Mr Paul is grossly out of balance. The former has shown himself to be unfaithful by his own conduct. Mr Paul has shown himself faithful to his vows (personal and civil) by his conduct.

tpf0612   January 27th, 2012 - 2:06 pm

She is speaking from hard experience, she has been lambasted by both the establishment right and the moonbat left, good on her for speaking out.

neverlickthehand   January 27th, 2012 - 2:12 pm

My one disagreement with Mrs. Palin's statement is when she said Americans don't understand freedom. If many of us did not there would already be an elite oligarchy, instead of a few scum trying TO NO AVAIL to force one upon us.

NotKennedy   January 27th, 2012 - 2:16 pm

Hey man! There are teaching jobs for guys like you in Wisconsin, BIG BUCKS and free viagra too. Hell, you don't even have to live there, at least not to vote.

What_what_what   January 27th, 2012 - 2:19 pm

True as to Newt but he sucks all by himself without the "Rethug Establishment's" help.

The rethugs really aren't doing anything to Paul….except not voting for him.

NotKennedy   January 27th, 2012 - 2:20 pm

In Massachusetts it doesn't matter what you do, you're gonna get a Kennedy shoved up your butt. The folks around who carry on as Republicans are essentially old school democrats, they thought McCain was the real deal.

NotKennedy   January 27th, 2012 - 2:20 pm

Your comment must be approved by the site admins before it will appear publicly.

LibertyWriter   January 27th, 2012 - 2:23 pm

That is your problem, apparently. You think.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 2:25 pm

Right. The GOP is all wrong and Newt is the only honorable (multiple adulterous affairs)
and non lying (except for all the recent whoppers) politician in US history. And Palin
is not looking for a new position with Newt.

Sad to see so many gullible Newt tools doing exactly what he wishes they would do. Which
is to follow him blindly.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 2:26 pm

What happens after the nomination? And when the GOP stands behind whomever
the nominee is? Then magically because they now support Newt then all is forgiven?
Newt is playing his followers like the drama queen that he is.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 2:27 pm

Who is "them" and how is Newt immune from being one of "them"?
If you understand history then you understand that Newt is a political
player, having seen things from inside and outside and now he wants
to be inside once again.

Libtard   January 27th, 2012 - 2:29 pm

I don't worry too much about the NDAA detention stuff for a few reasons:

1) Once a citizen is indefinately detained, they've got one hell of a legal case to get it declared unconstitutional (1st, 4th amendment grounds). — Someone needs to have standing (been wronged) before this can be tested.
2) Courts would have a hard time upholding that– and if they did–
3) They'd need to deal with a rebellion (and honestly, I don't think it would take too much to do that)— AND
4) I don't believe the Military would support the government if all of the above were to pass.

…"whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." (US Declaration of Independence)

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 2:30 pm

Romney is ahead of Newt by aprx 25% in Florida for all potential voters
which is what determines who wins and loses the election. Not just Republicans.
And unless you forget, McCain eventually was ahead of all the others
nationally, amongst Republicans. And he lost big time.

And Newt is losing his momentum. The polls amongst Republicans will reflect
that in the coming days.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 2:30 pm

National polls looking at all parties favor Romney over Newt by a large amount.
I want the GOP to actually win the election. Newt will be another McCain that
did well amongst the GOP but lost amongst the entire nation.

Libtard   January 27th, 2012 - 2:30 pm

He's talking about her endorsing him in his 2010 Senate re-eleciton.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 2:32 pm

I notice that more BB posters lean towards Newt but wise BB posters
that are better informed lean towards Romney. I also notice
that if you are not a Newt groveler then you are called a PAID POSTER
as though easy32984 has any proof beyond his simple imaginations.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 2:33 pm

Adultery, kissing up to Nancy Pelosi, believing in global warming, cap and trade, national insurance mandates
and kissing up to drama queen Newt OR ELSE he will stamp his feet and go home.

Sigint   January 27th, 2012 - 2:34 pm

But he is the only non-republican Globalist establishment candidate on the stage. When our republic has been destroyed and the remnants turned over to the globalists, will it make any difference who we give foreign aid to?

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 2:35 pm

The establishment for Newt fanatics means anyone that does not endorse Newt.
Regardless of their history or past alliances or past conservative nature.
Lots of BB posters turned angry against Palin when she endorsed McCain for
re-election as Senator for Arizona. We are dealing with fickle emotional people
when it comes to Newt fanatics.

from_minnesota   January 27th, 2012 - 2:35 pm

I've posted this in a few other places but it seems very appropriate here as well. Check out this humorous cartoon on "Nancy and Mitt's New Ad" at http://drawfortruth.com/2012/01/26/nancy-and-mitt...

NotKennedy   January 27th, 2012 - 2:36 pm

This may be most civil negative comment you have made in recent days. There is not much to recommend Gingrich. Or Romney. Another lesser of evils default to a contrived and deprived system.

Barnacle Barry   January 27th, 2012 - 2:36 pm

Aw, Jeez, hush yo' mouf! What a terrible thing to suggest!

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 2:36 pm

Palin was given full support of "the establishment" during the last election for the most part.
I find it laughable that Newt supporters are going all bizarro against anybody that does
not grovel to Newt.

JimMcVeigh   January 27th, 2012 - 2:37 pm

"Nice nip and tuck…. "

You're right; it is.

What are your favorite Obama policies?

Barnacle Barry   January 27th, 2012 - 2:40 pm

There ya' go! No más, no menos. That folks still delude themselves that we have elections be all blowin' mah mahnd 'n' stuff!

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 2:40 pm

Palin is a nice gal, a good conservative, but hardly our savior on political issues.
She is still a newbie in politics and most of her time after the last elections
consists of being a celebrity in conservative areas. Why anyone takes any
politicians words with too much strength is beyond me. I take all of them, even
my own favorites, with a grain of salt. That is what is known as wisdom.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 2:42 pm

Right, the new Newt inflamed "establishment" schtick is no different from
Hillary's vast right wing conspiracy schtick. And both of them were produced
by drama queens. Drama queen Newt just replaced drama queen Hillary.

Yes, the leftists fear both Newt and Ron.
Perhaps the best ticket at this point in time is…

At least that way the Pinkos in this nation would not harm Newt!

AussieDon   January 27th, 2012 - 2:51 pm

It's a close call between him and the Judge.

PushHereToFlush   January 27th, 2012 - 2:51 pm

Palin obviously listens to Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin. All three are, of course, correct.

Libtard   January 27th, 2012 - 2:52 pm

How conveniently you ignore what she did in Alaska.

She took down a corrupt Republican Governor, negotiated oil deals that netted big checks for every Alaskan Citizen, trimmed the perks of the Governor's office (chef, private jet, driver), and managed to have a 70+% approval rating before the Democraps, Media, and Establishment media started their unprecedented war against her.

If she did half of the caliber of change as President that she did for Alaska, she'd be the closest thing we've had to Reagan since…. Reagan.

Sigint   January 27th, 2012 - 2:53 pm

She is like a priest telling you not to use birth control. If you are not in the game, don't criticize others trying to survive. Pretty lady, but even SHE knows she is not ready for prime time, or she would be running.

gorkisadork   January 27th, 2012 - 2:58 pm

THANK YOU SARAH!

Sarah, I know you're reading this. Why aren't you running? Are you on the VP tix for Newt?

NotKennedy   January 27th, 2012 - 3:00 pm

Well, all these elections provide plenty of part time work for ballot counters and lawyers and everything that goes along with an election circus. As Biden likes to say, those GOP ballots make for shovel ready projects!

Whats_Up   January 27th, 2012 - 3:00 pm

The GOP/RNC – like the DemOcraps, are hypocrites and bigots. I will not follow either of them, nor my heart. I will follow the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. We have sadly lost our Republic (years ago) and we've a Whitehouse who has made clear that the US Constitution is irrelevant, Congress is irrelevant and SCOTUS is irrelevant …and NO ONE (entity) is stopping Obama or making much of a fuss about it. And "WE the People" – They have made us irrelevant as well.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 3:01 pm

I liked what Palin did in Alaska and supported here completely.
But I also understand that she is a politician aspiring to even
higher positions. So while she plays for Newt currently she could
just as easily play for somebody else later on.

She is a good conservative, as I pointed out, but it is unwise
to treat her or any politician as our political savior.

And doing what she did in Alaska is chicken feed in comparison
to what it takes while president. But I liked her enough to vote
for her and would do it again depending on who she was running
against and or who she was teamed with.

And unlike others, I do not determine the worth of a presdential
nominee based on who endorses them. Some fine people have
endorsed some not so fine politicians in the past.

And many BB posters pounced on Palin when she endorsed McCain
for relection as Arizona Senator. Many of them said that she had
CHANGED and that she was not a REAL CONSERVATIVE and
all the similar garbage we hear about those that support Romney
now.

gorkisadork   January 27th, 2012 - 3:01 pm

As far as I am concerned, the establishment repubs are responsible for the president we have today. They gave us McCain who is weak.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 3:04 pm

I will lay 100 to 1 odds that if the GOP/RNC endorsed Newt as their favorite
you Newt fanatics would change your tune faster than you can blink your eyes.
I do not fall for your cheap tricks and your tendency to backstab anybody
that does not grovel at Newt's feet. That makes me conclude that Newt
supporters, especially those on BB are a bit off their nut.

MonkeyBad   January 27th, 2012 - 3:06 pm

Dang, Sarah is correct. The establishment is pushing Romney and as soon as he has the nomination the mask comes off and the Romney destruction begins. This is all about getting Obama reelected and nothing more.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 3:08 pm

Newt fanatics checked their brains at the door when they decided to
support him blindly. They will not listen to reason, current polls, logic
or anything involving common sense. They are now the blind following
the blind and both will end up in the ditch.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 3:09 pm

Unless any of the three said something negative about Newt in which
case they are all RINOS, the ESTABLISHMENT or some other
dimwitted nonsense.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 3:10 pm

It seems the leftists would love to have nationally weaker Newt
compete against Obama.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 3:11 pm

And apparently you have a chubby thinking about it.

BeauDiddle   January 27th, 2012 - 3:12 pm

Attacking the media and the moderators endears Newt to the extreme right. It's about rage and anger, not reason.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 3:14 pm

Notice no replies, just cowards hiding their heads in the sand.
SInce Newt supporters are so weak and incapable of standing
up for their views, beyond dimwitted "go Newt" sentiment I must
conclude that maybe Newt only attracts fools.

kmichaels   January 27th, 2012 - 3:17 pm

I like it when the left media is attacked but our nation
may be attacked by external enemies and calling
those enemies mean and acting like a Newt drama queen
may not be the best way to handle the threat.

Iamwitheileen   January 27th, 2012 - 3:17 pm

She backstabbed all 'real' conservatives by endorsing "Manchurian Candidate" to live again in the Senate to vote against us…time and time again!

Then she did the same for Perry over a 'real' conservative also running. Then the night before the Iowa election she stabbed one of only (2) conservatives running in the back…Rep Bachmann saying 'she' was not ready!

She needs to go away and stay in Alaska…and the right wing media need to stop giving her more than her 15 mins of fame…period!

She is using any power she may have…to do damage and nothing more to 'real' conservatives!

BrutalKingCon   January 27th, 2012 - 3:18 pm

It is still wise for Palin to curry favor with the Paultards. They don't know what is best for them and they need a voice of reason.

Iamwitheileen   January 27th, 2012 - 3:19 pm

President Reagan would not have stabbed his fellow conservatives in the back as she has repeatedly!

MARYP912   January 27th, 2012 - 3:22 pm

I'd like to roll Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich into one person….The Gaul would be unbeatable

Barnacle Barry   January 27th, 2012 - 3:22 pm

Somebody didn't like your statement, it seems. We must be wrong, just not wrong enough to be corrected.

rodney4good   January 27th, 2012 - 3:27 pm

I guess her and Rush don't believe all of the conservative members of congress that worked with Newt do not like him or think that he would be good for the Republican party. I guess a career politician and a guy who lies on a regular bases, takes money for lobbying Fannie and Freddie Mack, has ethics violations worth $300,000.00, yet promised Palin she would be his running mate, she likes. Can't say I blame her she is after all a loser and quitter.

BeauDiddle   January 27th, 2012 - 3:28 pm

The media (both left and right) deserves to be addressed. But when it becomes one's "claim to fame," when crowds get riled up because of that, NOT because of any concrete policies one offers, it's not a good thing. Lunar Newt (pandering to the Florida crowd, by the way) cares about Newt only. The extreme only cares about humilating Obama if they think Newt can do it in debates, then he's their man. Newt's odd ideas about transforming American aren't even a consideration for many of them.

Whats_Up   January 27th, 2012 - 3:28 pm

Mc@ass was and IS an @ss …as is the GOP and RNC.

sheila   January 27th, 2012 - 3:28 pm

Love Sarah very much, but Gingrich did give her that "see Russia from her house" line that turned out poorly so she's better off without him.

The two GOP people on stage at every debate who worked with Gingrich or in his aftermath– Paul and Santorum — both said his leadership was horrible and disastrous.

And in spite of the fact he's made all his money off the gov't teat or selling access to it there is no such thing as a long term Gingrich supporter.

Every other LIFER politician has people that vouch for them. Newt has none.

rodney4good   January 27th, 2012 - 3:30 pm

You are right on. Rush and Palin are backing Newt even with all the negatives that have come out. They have dug in so hard they both are going to lose big time after the Romney nomination. Where will they have to go? Who will want their backing or endorsement?

LAKESPED   January 27th, 2012 - 3:31 pm

keep drinking the koolaid

Whats_Up   January 27th, 2012 - 3:31 pm

I am not a Newt supporter – I am not impressed with any of the "Republican" runners. I am a Conservative and none of these critters measure up to my expectations. I've grounded myself on one book: "The Making of America" by Cleon Skousen.

That is what they want. The story on Soros yesterday that had himsaying that Romney and Obama were about the same confirmed what Ithought all along.Newt is a good fighter. If he can teach Santorum a thing or two, wemight just get a conservative with less baggage than Americanairlines. This whole race sucks. Where is the Reagan of thisgeneration? It make me aware of how special he really was.
