While Obama never goes to “enemy territory” in his perpetual
campaign as president, Sarah Palin takes
her (third) book tour into the mouth of the lion as she sells her book and uses
the “tour” opportunity to visit the strongholds of the RINO Herd and its
supporters.
I have to admit, the
Left Leaning Daily Beast, gives a great
summary of Palin’s tour. Understand that
she began this tour with a visit into the most partisan of venues, The Today Show and an interview with Matt
Lauer. One cannot watch that interview
without being amazed at the growth this woman has experienced as a spokesman
for the Right Way (aka “Right Wing”).
Where she once would get lost in the midst of a sentence, struggling to get to her next point, she now moves smoothly and most effectively
from A to Z, with no hesitation, a master of the polemic,
From the DailyBeast: Bethlehem is represented
by Rep. Charlie Dent, one of the leaders of the moderate faction of House
Republicans who led the charge to broker an end to the government shutdown and
who faced a primary challenge from the right in 2012. In Columbus, Ohio, Rep.
Pat Tiberi has been targeted for a Tea Party challenge by the conservative blog
Red State after receiving a 66 percent lifetime rating from the Club for
Growth. And in Grand Rapids, Michigan, a group of Republican business leaders
is trying to snatch first-term libertarian
Rep. Justin Amash’s seat away from him. The tour continues in Kentucky,
where Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is facing a fierce challenge from
Tea Partier Matt Bevin. Then it’s on to Georgia, where a GOP primary for an
open Senate seat is turning into a free-for-all that some Republicans fret
could open the door to a Democratic takeover. Next is Texas, where John Cornyn,
the Senate minority whip, still hasn’t received the backing of Tea Party
favorite and fellow Texan Ted Cruz in a seat that the grass roots feel should
belong to them.
And as the Palin bus rolls into
town, political observers on the ground on wondering if the former governor of
Alaska will offer a few kind words, or even a photo-op, for the candidate of
their choice. Palin signaled her intentions to continue as a major player in
these intraparty battles after the House and Senate reached a deal to reopen
the government without defunding the Affordable Care Act. Writing on the website Breitbart.com, she urged her fellow
conservatives not to lose faith: “Rest well tonight, for soon we must focus on
important House and Senate races. Let’s start with Kentucky—which happens to be
awfully close to South Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi—from sea to shining
sea we will not give up. We’ve only just begun to fight.”
“Her message resonates with the
average person,” said Ron Devito, who runs the website US4Palin. “She supports
limited government, free markets, low taxes, and our Constitution.”
More from this blog’s editor: I must correct the Beast on one point. Palin never “slammed” Christie for his
weight. That is a lie, told with the intend to foster a negative
bias. In fact, while not seeing Christie as a conservative
Republican, is pleased that a Republican won in New Jersey; “That is a good thing” she has said in more
than one interview.
