Sarah Palin Gives Romney Tough Love: ‘I Do Not Respect’ His Debt Ceiling Stance

Sarah Palin isn’t happy with Mitt Romney when it comes to the debt debate, and she isn’t shy about giving the Republican frontrunner some tough love.
In an interview Tuesday with Sean Hannity, Palin criticized Romney for standing on the sidelines during the debt ceiling debate, jumping in only after the dust had settled. Palin still has a lot of respect for Romney (”bless his heart), but she told Hannity “I do not have respect for what he has done through this debt increase debate….he waited until it was a done deal.”
Hannity asked Palin if she was going to join the race herself, and she responded that she was getting closer to a decision, but did not hint at the likelihood one way or another.
Still, Palin was willing to give straightforward advice for Romney and the other GOP candidates: “Get out there, tell the electorate what you really feel.”
She also applauded Michelle Bachmann for standing up for her principles in the debt debate. Watch the interview below:

Posted on August 3, 2011 at 8:47amRomney is ‘more of the same’ type of Republican who helped get us where the country is today (and that’s not good). We need to pick the best conservative candidate. Not sure who that is right now.

Posted on August 3, 2011 at 10:23amDid you catch Hannity talking about Palin last night on his show? He had a woman who professionally fundraises for Republican campaigns. They started speculating on a “Palin run for POTUS”, when this professional fundraiser stated that it’s not going to happen, because Palin “hasn’t been talking to anyone in the industry who does fundraising”.
Immediately, Hannity started shouting over the woman that Palin was “unpredictable”.
Sounds like Palin is the Republican’s decoy for Liberals. They hate her so much, they‘ll focus all media attention on her while the Republican’s work on their real choice for the next election.
Funny. I guess we’ll see how the Tea Party modifies this situation.
Tea Partiers – pay attention to the primaries. Get involved. Don’t let the Republicans give us YET ANOTHER Republican Progressive as a candidate.

Posted on August 4, 2011 at 12:47amThe trolls may be right, but anyone is better than Obama. Obama hasn’t an iota of patriotism. Sarah and Michelle are not only infinitely more patriotic than Obama will ever be. They are much stronger as well. Obama can’t handle criticism. He attacks the American people and calls them the enemy simply because they don’t believe in Socialism. How do Sarah and Michelle handle criticism? They simply call them out and defend the people over themselves. That is true governance. This shows us that they honestly care more about serving the people than themselves unlike Obama who behaves as though he hungers to be a dictator. Sarah and Michelle aren‘t phased by the leftists’ attacks at all. The stand firm to their ideals, are not arrogant, and are honest. I’m sure they do not think of leftist voters as enemies; they are misguided by indoctrination. Some are corrupted. They have character and integrity. Obama only has his ideology and arrogance and relies on the ignorance and corruption of his blocs.

She’s our William Wallace, and we‘d better make sure we don’t pick another betraying RINO.
“At the end of the debates lies a truth concealed by all the fluff: There was no compromise in this debate; one side prevailed, but it wasn’t the Tea Party. In a betrayal reminiscent of the movie Braveheart, when the Scottish nobility deserted the field, abandoning William Wallace to defeat, Republican leaders likewise abandoned the Tea Party, not for compromise, but in infamy by betrayal and surrender for the sake of their own hides.” –Mark America

Posted on August 3, 2011 at 8:42amWhat one says does matter. Palin articulates my own beliefs better and more consistently than anyone else. Bachman is a close second. I’d be a fool to support Romney, for example, merely because he sounds and looks presidential, while equivocating on every major issue. His core values shift with the political winds. Palin strikes me as someone who will follow through on her convictions, converting them into action. She will be determined and relenting and consistent. To comment on her voice shows a superficiality that may end up electing another RINO. Romney would be my choice if we were casting the part for a President In a made for TV movie.

Posted on August 3, 2011 at 8:13amThe “journalistic” stories continue to roll out about her and you’ve just commented on the story, how irrelevant is she? Seems to me she’s only as irrelevant as the MSM tells you she is. How unfortunate.

Posted on August 3, 2011 at 2:15pmjust because liberals are obsessed with her, doesn’t make her relevant. liberals are wasting their time obsessing over her. most republicans realize that this is bit she plays to make money, she’s not going to run for anything. shes a like a little bratty girl, who is starved for attention. she’s better off hosting a talkshow.

Posted on August 3, 2011 at 10:21amromney’s no true Mormon. All the Mormons I know are frugal, logical, patriotic people. romney is a self-serving fraud and a sham, no true conservative would believe a word he says about anything including his “spiritual” beliefs.

Posted on August 3, 2011 at 5:17pmMaybe you should know what you are talking about before you spout. Mitt was a Stake President, Bishop and served a two year voluntary missions when he was 19. Stake President is the equivalent of running an archdiocese. Everyone who knows him talks about what a nice, decent man he is. Anyone who has heard his wife speak about him knows the same. You may not like his stances on some issues but don’t start making up stuff.

Posted on August 3, 2011 at 6:49pm@ Poverty.Sucks- – My next door neighbors are Mormon. – Great – decent human beings – salt of the earth kind of people. If any of them, or the kids, when they got older got into politics. – even if by chance i didn’t agree with their politics, the true leg they COULD stand on and I’d never question them, is their righeousness and integrity. – Now i know i can‘t judge all Mormons by my neighbors’ example. — but every one I’ve come across are good people. -and hearing negative comments about Mormons, to me . . only makes the individual making those comments sound pretty ignorant.

I hate to tell you this, but Romney is running as fast as he can AWAY from being a mormon. Go to his website. You’ll look long and hard to find any reference . If you go to the AboutMitt page where he gives his biography. He doesn’t say a word about going on a mission for the mormon church, he never mentions any role he ever played in the mormon church, he never mentions any leadership positions he had with the mormon church – doesn’t even mention he was married in the mormon temple. In fact, nowhere does his site even SAY that he is LDS.
If I was mormon, I‘d really be unhappy with Romney for burying the fact he’s mormon. Again, don’t we need a leader who can stand up for what he believes? Who is not holding a finger in the wind? Who is not hiding his religious beliefs?

You made a generalization about mormons based on your neighbors? There are people who know many mormons and much about their faith. Look at the branch of the mormon church lead by Warren Jeffs. Mind control is a major component of many of the branches of the mormon church. Even the main branch of the mormon church – they can’t read certain books – books that might disagree with their mormon church beliefs. Scary? Integrity?

Posted on August 4, 2011 at 7:04am@Hankscram, speaking of not knowing what you are talking about. Mitt is not distancing himself from his beliefs. He just isn’t running for Pastor-in-Chief. Your comments about mind control are laughable. The LDS church hasn’t ever told its members what books it can read. If you knew anything about them you would know how ignorant a statement that is. I love how you characterize the Fundamentalists as a branch of the LDS church. Nice try, they split off more than a hundred years ago and if a member of the mainstream LDS church tried taking a second wife they would be excommunicated immediately, As a former Bishop I should know. So knowing that you have either lied outright or seriously misrepresented the LDS church because you are too lazy to look up some simple facts not found on your anti-Mormon sites, how can you claim and any credibility at all?

Yes, the LDS church splintered after Joseph Smith died. His son and Brigham Young were involved in different branches. Persons who had “witnessed” the golden plates went in various factions or simply left the mormon church. There are other impending groups leaving the Utah group – middle way mormons for example.
You say you can read any book? Well, if you write a book criticizing the mormon church, you may be excommunicated. Many authors have been kicked out – many have been threatened with excommunication. BYU Professors have lost their jobs based on positions they took contrary to mormon church teaching. I‘d like to see you carrying around a copy of Grant Palmer’s “An Insiders View of Mormon Origins.” Tell me the mormon church and hierarchy wouldn’t lean hard against that? Of course, you’ll say the same thing about Grant Palmer all mormons say – just attack him personally rather than looking at his research. He was disfellowshipped for writing the book. I believe he is a Christian.
Consider an institution that tells its mormon members what type of undergarments to wear and when – the “mini-burka.” That excommunicates members immediately that publicly state the prophet is wrong. And that has children standing up in the mormon church to “testify” that “I know this mormon church is the true church and the leader of the church is a true prophet. Same things FLDS does on that point. That type of behavior is mind control to me and othe

I agree that Romney is a really nice guy. He seems like it. I have nothing against him personally. Just think we need a leader who stands up for what he believes. I don’t see that in Mitt.

But the founder of the mormon church, Joseph Smith, was a pedophile just like Warren Jeffs. That’s common knowledge.
