Last Friday Sarah Palin appeared in Houston to campaign for Ted Cruz, running for the Republican Nomination for Senate in Texas. Cruz was the tea party candidate. He was running against David Dewhurst, who was endorsed by Rick Perry, and viewed as the Republican favorite to win. Dewhurst had served for years as Rick Perry’s Lt. Governor. Cruz won the nomination.
Next stop, Kansas City. In her ongoing quest for publicity and attention, Sarah Palin will appear tomorrow night to campaign for Sarah Steelman. Steelman is not the favored Republican candidate. John Brunner has a 33% favorability rating compared to Steelman’s 27%. At first glance John Brunner might be perceived to be Sarah Palin’s candidate, as he is new to politics. Brunner has NEVER served as a politician. He is a very successful businessman. Conversely, Sarah Steelman has been a state politician, and has voted to increase the debt in Missouri, and voted for millions of dollars in pork-barrel projects. She has voted against tort reform, and voted to increase tax on gasoline.
So, you may ask, “Why would Sarah Palin campaign for Cruz and Steelman?” The answer may be surprising. It may be that Sarah Palin is so invested in the Presidential Campaign that she will support anyone who is not a Romney supporter. As if there was still a question about who the Republicans will nominate, Sarah Palin seems to be unable, or unwilling, to fall in line to support the presumptive nominee.
Sarah Steelman has aired a commercial attacking Brunner for his “mountain of money,” causing workers to lose their jobs, and for failing to pay his taxes.
Funny that those are the identical criticisms of Mitt Romney.
Brunner is supportive of Romney. Steelman is leaning towards “staying away” from the Republican Convention.
Given the recent publicity regarding Sarah Palin not being invited to speak at the convention, it is not surprising that Sarah Palin would endorse a candidate that might choose not to attend the GOP Convention. Sarah Palin and the Tea Party candidates seem to be trying to send a message; Romney better move to the Right.
The funny thing is that either Sarah Palin fails to appreciate, or doesn’t care, that by pushing for the Republican Party to move further to the right, she may be helping Obama win reelection. Clearly the Tea Party members would never vote for Obama. They may not be happy with Romney, but surely they are more likely to vote for Romney than Obama. Yet Sarah Palin is so focused on her personal agenda, that she seems unwilling to work for a conservative cause, and instead seems to be only interested in promoting herself. Sarah Palin lost in 2008, and she’ll lose in 2012, even though she isn’t running.

Do you think she will try and start a third party with ron paul?
Romney is a loser, for a man who has run for POTUS as many times as he has, he is losing the race on his own.I’m thinking ron paul might start a little rebellion and palin will come in on her high horse and stir things up a little.
The will lose in the end, but they might have a little fun in the process.

mgardener,
I totally think that is possible. Since she doesn’t seem to care what damage she does to the GOP, I can see her running as a third party candidate, splitting the conservative vote, and when she loses the election she won’t care, because she’ll be more famous, and that is all she seems to care about.

Sarah’s gonna be in my town? I can’t possibly go, as I am having a houseful of company this weekend. We’re gonna have an All Day Singin’, and Dinner on the Ground!!!
Oh, well, my ears will be much better off listening to my two brothers singing. I will watch for coverage, and crowd size. These two Sarah’s are a lot alike, down to the boob jobs. Ms. Steelman is pulling out the big “guns”!

Cracklin’ Charlie,
I can relate only too well. She was a four hour drive away from me this last weekend, and I still felt violated just knowing she was in my state.

I’m so tired of this woman. Can’t we put her on an ice flow,with polar bears?

pvaz,
I think all the ice has melted, but I think Lake Lucille would be fine for her. It is evidently very polluted already and fairly stagnant.

Cruz is as far away from the Teabaggers as DoWorst is, they are cut from the same clothe but are on different sides of the TX GOP. Perry owns DoWorst and Bush created Cruz. THAT’S the message anyone familiar with TX GOP is getting. Perry is O-U-T as king of TX and the Bush’s are back. It will be very interesting to see if Perry even bothers to run for king of TX again.
The baggers got used by yet another establishment GOPper and they don’t even know it. Nice toilet paper you’ve become Palin!

I wouldn’t want that screechy mess anywhere near my bum! If the Palin TP is anything like the real thing, it would probably quit halfway through the job…

Malia, Have you noticed some of the wikipedia war that has erupted? You can read it about it on IM, but also if you go to Todd Palin’s page and review the history you can see someone was trying to update the Shailey Tripp info on there. The person who was updated tried to communicate with wiki but got shut down:
Request reason:
I was not trying to overrule you or in appropriately post. I reposted with references and links to verifiable sources. The sources were valid by the rules. I was not printing heresay. And I used appropriate references to back up the info I posted. Yes the info is controversial just like the Trooper Wotten stuff is controversial but I used valid sources and was not repeating rumor. Shailey Tripp is a publsihed author and there is no dorect comments form any news source or media about the Palins specifically denying her claims to the affair. There are no law suits either to refute what Tripp has stated publicly and reported and interviewed by valid news sources. I understand not printing if I technically did something wrong. I am happy to revise until perfected. However the events I reported were true, correct, and verifiable. Please advise. Supporter of Wiki.
Decline reason:
It appears you were edit warring over poorly sourced BLP material. Toddst1 (talk) 02:23, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

PBNJ,
I am hoping that if Homeland Security responds to my FOIA request, we will have the proof needed to convince even wikipedia.

“The funny thing is that either Sarah Palin fails to appreciate, or doesn’t care, that by pushing for the Republican Party to move further to the right, she may be helping Obama win reelection.”
Hoorah. Let her continue her windmill-tilting and watch Obama win in November.
