Palin: If Tea Partiers Were Terrorists, Obama Would Pal Around With Us
Fmr. Gov. Sarah Palin responds to a report that Vice President Joe Biden said Republicans were "terrorists" during a closed-door meeting with Congressional Democrats about the debt compromise.
Palin says "enough is enough" and she's "not going to sit here and take it anymore" when it comes to the left accusing the Tea Party of racism.
"It's all talk and no real action. Otherwise he'd be on Biden and tell Biden to tone it down a little bit. Yeah, right, independent patriotic Americans who desire fiscal sanity in our beloved nation being called terrorists. Heck, Sean, if we were real domestic terrorists, shoot, President Obama would be wanting to pal around with us, wouldn’t he? I mean he didn’t have a problem paling around with Bill Ayers back in the day when he kicked off his political career in Bill Ayers' apartment," Palin said on FOX News' "Hannity."
As much as those on the Left would like Palin to be the nominee, I think they're going to be disappointed.
She's waited too long, and the big money donations have gone to others. Besides, I think she sees her role as "tea party" spokesperson - and hopes to have a tea-party approved candidate emerge. She will try to influence the process to that end.
IMO it's going to come down to Romney vs. Perry. The tea-party will never support Romney (he will be the establishment, McCain candidate this go-round). Perry MIGHT get tea-party support if he's seen as a legitimate alternative to Romney.
Rubio will be the VP candidate in either instance.

I agree with you completely.
Again, we're in agreement; The Fix is in.
Rubio will be the VP candidate in either instance.

Hmmm...I think it'll be a female RINO.
It's early, but Rubio's been a political genius thus far. He's managed to keep some tea-party credentials while at the same time not pissing off the establishment.
If the nominee is Romney, Rubio would be a bone thrown to the tea-party.
If the nominee is Perry, Rubio would be the bone thrown to hispanics.
(G.O.D.): Rubio's been a political genius thus far. He's managed to keep some tea-party credentials while at the same time not pissing off the establishment.
(liberator): But my understanding is that he's a closet illegal supporter.
I don't trust him. And now I don't trust Allen West-the-Backstabber.
My calling him a political genius was damning him with faint praise.
But it's not just him I don't trust re: illegals. It's the whole republican establishment.
