Sarah Palin Weighs In on Preliminary Results: Obama Win Would Be ‘Catastrophic Setback’

Sarah Palin Weighs in on Election 2012 With Greta Van Susteren

(Photo: Fox News)

Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin weighed in on the preliminary results of the 2012 election Tuesday night, as networks began calling key states for President Obama.

Not looking particularly energized, Palin remarked (all subsequent emphasis added):

I’m disappointed in some of [the states], but still. Cross my fingers, waiting to hear about Ohio…the realization at this point is that those Bain Capital ads that voters just got inundated with early on in Ohio and some of these other areas as it pertained to the auto bailout I think really hurt Romney.

Greta then asked what it would mean if we woke up tomorrow with President Obama re-elected:

Unfortunately, we know what we will get with four more years of Obama. This really is a catastrophic setback to our economy and to any opportunity that we would have for Supreme Court justices who would be strict adherents to the traditional interpretation of what our Constitution says. What we’ll get in four years is more debt, because Barack Obama has been one to believe that government spending is the answer to the challenges facing America and our job creators…

Saying that she remains hopeful, Palin concluded:

“I just cannot believe, though, that the majority of Americans would believe that incurring more debt is good for our economy, for our children, for job creators. I cannot believe that the majority of Americans would believe that it is not okay not to follow the Constitution and not have a budget, and I cannot believe that the majority of Americans would say that it’s okay to rely on foreign sources of energy, instead of drilling and mining our own natural resources.

It’s a perplexing trend for many of us right now, if things continue in this trend that we have seen earlier tonight.

She is the very last person I care to listen to at this point. She is a quitter, a loser and she collected lots of money and never really contributed much of anything except a bunch of stupid words.

America has indicated in every way possible that God is superfluous and that the “leaks and garlics of Egypt” are more attractive to the majority of Americans than either liberty or freedom.
Christian ethics and morality are on the shelf. Those who are willing to trade their freedom and liberty for a perception of “security” always awake to find that they have neither freedom nor liberty–nor security. Slavery doesn’t require a field and cotton; it only requires a mind set that is comfortable with someone else assuming responsibility for their life. It was prophesied by a French philosopher over a 100 years ago that “the American system would work until the people figured out that they could vote themselves money.” They have figured it out! May God–yes God–help this poor deluded nation as it follows a long list of nations into oblivion.

This election has fraud written all over it. Even the idiot son of Jesse Jackson won? This basket case hasn’t even shown up to work in months. The fake Cherokee socialist wins? Even her own pot head fans were disgusted by her they never showed up for support. Allen West even loses? Come on, this isn’t happening without a little help from ol Mr. Lies. Maybe Sesame Street should create a skit about it and teach the children how to cheat on every test.

  There is so much brainwashing going on.. from my kids schools, to most every media outlet. If you aren’t tuning in to talk radio, fox news or conservative websites, you only know what the puppet masters want you to know.They can cover up or exploit anything they want. I have no faith in the integrity of our elections. I cannot believe Romney got fewer votes than McCain did in 2008.

Did our electorate just replace our Republic with a dictator or am I being too melodramatic? If folk believe cheating was involved with what happened this evening then something is going to happen that never has during any elections we’ve had here in the U.S. Not sure if it will indeed be Revolution and hope to God not. :)

with that being said….the only reason I voted for McCain was that you were on the ticket…..as Garth Brooks sang…… thank GOD for unanswered prayers.

Obamacare will be fully implemented in 2014 and Liberals will be shocked to find that the IRS will draft payments directly from their checking accounts. Not working? On Welfare? You have to pay too! Surprise. Everyone has to pay for Obamacare’s expenses to be met. Of course costs will keep rising. Gas prices will rise to $5 per gallon soon too, I predict. So will electricity. The coal industry will slowly start shutting down. How many coal miners voted for Obama? He told you guys in 2008 he would put you out of business. He wants Green energy. It is all part of his plan. You fools who voted for him will get find you are sorry to get what you ask for. I am only sorry that the rest of us will have to suffer too.

  Do no push for bi-partisanship. That would be suicide to the third degree. Keep the marxist tied up in fighting the congress for anything. Gridlock forever. We must resist this marxist traitor.

Indoctrination and propoganda with the message “Do not listen to the conservatives” is a big factor in what lost this. We have to continue spreading the love and the logic of the truth no matter what happens, and take our country back by winning over its people.

Maybe God intends to show how truly bad things can get under liberalism, before Americans finally wake up and see through the propoganda. Be warned — it could turn very, very bad.

  Don’t blame this on God. We are not Americans anymore but something else that has become a danger to our people and the World. We are now two nations of 115 million people each. One must put an end to the other.

How could anybody actually care what this vacuous airhead has to say? The Republicans that were lucky enough to win their elections tonight were more than likely not to want her visiting their districts or states. Her 15 minutes of fame have come and gone. Right now she’s nothing more than the mother of some totally screwed up kids.

  A breakaway Republic dedicated to Liberty and Freedom is worth the blood and sacrifice. We will die in global disgrace staying together as one nation that is a lie. A new Continental Congress must be convened and this will require the election of delegates.

  THE DEMOCRATS MADE IT KNOWN THAT THIS ELECTION WAS A PLEBISCITE TO END THE US CONSTITUTION
  
  This is why there was so much celebration. Unlike other Communist Revolutions, the Soviet Revolution in America was won without firing a shot. As Lincoln stated our demise was accomplished from within.

  This certainly isn’t the country I grew up in, and I feel very sorry for the younger generation because of it.
  We had freedom, fresh air, wholesome food, clean air and water. We knew our neighbors. Families were close.
  Everybody knew God had blessed this land. The Constitution and The Star Spangled Banner meant something
  to us. We proudly put our hand over our hearts. Life was good. The cemeteries were full of people on “Decoration
  Day.” Now, it’s just a day to Bar-B-Que.
  
  We had no armed drones flying over our homes, no threats of imprisonment without charges. Our politicians didn’t promote
  race or class wars; all worshiped together in church. I feel sorry for the youth today because they will never
  know that rich kind of life.
  
  We didn’t have today’s technology like texting or facebook; we spent time with each other instead.
  We had journalists instead of corrupt media, political leaders instead of corruption & communists.
  
  God help us, America has lost her soul. God forgive us!

  Snow… the nation isn’t over… but we are now in a time that Reagan forecasted… WE are the generation that has lost liberty and freedom and will never regain it…. We must train up our children and grandchildren and one day hopefully we will give them back a nation based on God and Freedom and Liberty and the Constitution….
  until then, we must fight any and all assaults against our Constitution…we must hold the House and get the Senate in 2014…..we can still repeal Obamacare even after it is put into effect in 2014…. the House can block funding…then you force an Obama veto of the repeal and then you override his veto and FOREVER put an asterik on his legacy as the first Socialist President of the United States…
