Sarah Palin To Hannity: GOP Candidates Have To Quit ‘Nit-Picking At One Another’

Video
» 65 comments

On his show Wednesday night, Sean Hannity asked former Alaska governor Sarah Palin for her thoughts on the “in-fighting” going on among the GOP presidential hopefuls.

RELATED: Ron Paul Dismisses Newt Gingrich As ‘Flavor Of The Week’

Calling Iowa “the beginning of the road,” Palin said she’s not ready to endorse any of the candidates just yet. She advised voters to keep a close eye on the debates and whatever news is yet to come out about each of the candidates, because it’s important to ensure that “our candidate is vetted and ready to go” against Barack Obama, particularly given that “90 percent of the mainstream media” will be “in his back pocket.”

She also called for the GOP candidates to stop taking swipes at one another:

Quit nit-picking at one another. Some of these candidates, Sean, they’re playing right into the left’s playbook. They’re doing that opposition research and broadcasting for the left instead of letting us concentrate on the problems under Obama and how we can fix them.

    Sarah Palin is surely one to talk. Isn’t she the one who has insulted every Republican she thinks is a RINO. Hmmm…Lisa Murkowski is a fine example. How about what she called the Bush family?

    I’m sorry, why is she advising presidential candidates?  She has two months experience as the running mate of a candidate who lost.  

  • John Jacobjingleheimerschmidt

    Yeah, if the GOP wants to know how to win, they should do whatever Sarah tells them. Her political record has been stellar… Let’s see… Mayor of a tiny town, half-term governor… lost everything else…  Pretty solid. The media loves her not because she’s constantly about to make a gaffe but because she’s got a razor sharp mind.

    Sarah Palin was once the great right hope who left them shivering in the wind when the time came for her to formally challenge Obama for the presidency.  Politicos can argue through next November whether she took the money and, er, ‘didn’t’ run versus her being politically smart enough to sit 2012 out.  Either way, by her own actions alone, she’s only a millionaire spectator in this election cycle, and she has no real stake in it’s outcome.  In short, perhaps she should just shut up and write another book for progressive conservative seniors and horny young Republicans.

    Time for a little Sarah “Whack-A-Mole”!

    The Beast in Sarah

    In Alaska, a newsgirl named Sarah
    Whose loins were a steamy caldera
    Let one of the black wolverines
    Get into her jeans
    And use her garage to park his big black Pantera.

    Sarah said “That car’s really got the juice!,
    And it fits in this garage really loose”!
    But the Wolverine had to go,
    And then Sarah, don’t you know
    True to form, started dating a Moose!

    Later “Mama Griz” decided to marry
    Her sweetheart polar bear, who’s white ordinary.
    Now “Once you go black,
    You never go back!”
    Is liable to give Todd his first coronary!

    So Mama Griz, the political over achiever
    Put some ice on her hot Alaskan beaver.
    But now we all know
    That there’s more to her show
    ‘Cause this candidate once had “Jungle Fever”!

     I thought thats what primaries were about? This is how you win. You criticize your opponents and play dirty and hope you win. If Romney doesn’t start nitpicking Newt and start to hammer him on his past and present policies and personal life he will lose. If he does then he will win. That is how you win elections Sarah. If you want everyone to sit in a circle jerk and sing Kumbi Ya then that kind of sound like socialism to me:)

    Palin could have run. So people are wondering if she got threats to not run or if she knew what the left and the other GOP candidates would use to attack her. There has to be a reason why Palin said no to running. Was it that she waited long enough to see How Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann, two candidates she likes, got hammered and fell in the polls?

    I don’t know what to make of the chances Palin had to win the nomination had she run. But I am equally baffled at her choosing not to run. There has to be a lot that we don’t know about her. John Ziegler who interviewed her in 2009 for a documentary, had said  that Palin wasn’t running because she was felt it was too much too soon and she wanted time out of the public eye. Who knows.

    Alot of odd bizarre things happening. So I am left wondering. because it was not only expected but was more than likely that Palin would run following  the 2008 election loss. Then when the ballw as in her court she dragged people a long that could have gone to other candidates. And some of those folks came out swinging against the field.

    Not only that, but Palin also must be worried about what she saw happen to Herman Cain. All the other candidates brush it off when I am sure they must wonder if the left will start playing dirty games with them if they win. Granted that Cain, it turned out, was not running traditional campaign because he didn’t campaign in Iowa till much later than most and was promoting a book at book tours and then he was not actively plan at strategy to combat charges against him, but instead was willing to quit.

    So some people have turned on Palin and Cain because they got out of the kitchen when it got hot.

    No, they’re mostly just stodgy uneducated old people who collect the biggest welfare check of all: Social Security.

    And then when they get sick they’re taken care of by the biggest welfare program of all: Medicare.

    “Oh but we paid into it!!” Believe me, as a younger American I’d very much love if the elderly were cut off at the amount that they paid into these programs, even if given a reasonable rate of return.

    The first Q is obvious

    On the second question, I think the obvious answer is the GOP, as Obama was ready to make great (and needed) concessions, but the GOP refused as it might’ve helped him politically. And no, Paul Ryan’s budget doesn’t count because they and everyone else knew it was not a budget that was ever going to pass into law, whereas the “Grand bargain” would have.

    The third is GOP propaganda.

    Nice try, though. Better get to bed otherwise the eggs will be gone!

    Sarah and Cain are not in it because they CAN’T take the scrutiny, not because they won’t. America wants a strong smart leader. These two are not smart…they fail big time when held to account. Sarah’s whole family is a failure…any kids conceived IN wedlock? Cain, well he kept fuckin around, and we are seeing that he’s not that bright anyways. I wish just one repub would come out and say something they are FOR rather than this constant portrayal of non-democratic! I honestly feel sorry for repubs because this field is absolutely sad. McCain is way better! Oh, but Palin, really, I still want some one to tell me what shes for. She’s so vague about everything! Our country aint perfect, hell, we stopped trying years ago!

    Publius, it is not giving me a reply button for your comment, but The Dems built the welfare state, they refuse sensible solutions such as private retirement accounts even though they could be mandatory like SS. As it is, I will have to keep paying into the Ponzi scheme only to be told when I get to retirement age that i cannot collect until I hit my 120th birthday. Obama and the whole Democratic party are now reduced to 24/7 class warfare to the tune of “The people who pay taxes have to pony up more so the half of the country that pays no taxes can keep getting freebies.” We are 15 Trillion in debt and they want to promote social justice. How about get a freaking job?

    How are private retirement accounts better than a government backed account?
    I know as well as anyone that dependence on Social Security alone is only going to prevent starvation, and just barely, but at least it is backed by the most reliable system in the world.
    The “private account” solution is full of risks and only profitable to financial institutions. That makes it a government backed ripoff of gigantic proportions.

     The current system does not work. The math is very clear. I have never had anything other than great returns on 401k accounts. It could be mandatory, and the govt could surely get enough institutions together to come up with a great program considering they would be getting a lot of biz. Obamacare should have been done in a way where providers worked with govt to form real world solutions. Simply trying to dictate terms has no effect but to screw everybody. They wont take losses because Obama says they should. They will just jack up everybody’s rates.

    Ben Dover, mindless blather from lib talking heads does not change the fact that the system is bleeding and it is bullchit that those paying in now are going to be on the “you will die before you see a penny” plan.

  • Чёрт Возьми

    First, I should disclose that I have a pension (retired military). That is the safe and sure way to prepare for retirement, but few companies (and/or unions) now offer one. There are risks with pensions. The big risk is not staying with a company long enough to be vested in one. The other risk is misuse of pension funds, but that can be handled in the courts.
    What really matters in a pension is the certainty that one’s retirement income will be steady and the responsibility for ensuring that goes to a professional pension fund manager.

    401ks are a different beast. The risk becomes personal, and many people who are in them now don’t know how to make the best of them. Some get desperate/stupid and draw money out of them. But, the fact is that many people simply do not know how to “work” a 401k as an investment, and don’t have the time and smarts to do it. They can lose everything on simple mistakes, but the fund managers of 401k programs are not responsible for that. Responsibility is replaced by simple bookkeeping functions.

    All investing is gambling in the sense that it should not be done with the rent money. It should be done with “extra” money. That is fine for folks who have “extra” money, but not for folks who barely graduated high school and now must decide how to handle a 401k account. They are simply not up to it.

    I see the Mandatory Savings Account (run like a 401k) as being the same as a mandatory purchase of health insurance. So long as it must be done with a for profit company, it can only harm the individual. If it is government backed and run, there is no profit motive (which adds at least 10% to the cost) and the government is held accountable. There will be no Bernie Maddof or John Corzine running a Ponzi scheme on me and you.

     Congrats on the military pension. You served and earned it. I believe company pension funds are invested in the market. Right? The current system may supposedly not have a profit motive, but if it is consolidated in the general fund and raided like a cookie jar then Uncle is not being a responsible steward of your money. Also, 10% added to the cost is no big deal if your money is earning returns to hedge against inflation which is not the case as of now. I used 401k as an example. A mandatory savings plan would be a totally different critter with strict controls and regulations. You have valid points, but if/when the world decides that the US cannot keep it’s word and shifts to a new reserve currency , you are talking Weimar Republic. If we don’t get serious on finances, that is a forgone conclusion.

    What 401(k) plan do you use? I would love to transfer mine, which lost 30% back in ’08-’09, stabilized for a bit, gained a few points, then lost another 10%. Everyone I know has had the same action on their fund. If SS had been privatized under Bush, it would have been catastrophic.

    Good points.
    However, if we go “Weimar Republic,” all money in all circumstances will be equally affected. It will not matter whether it is pay, pension, or 401k.
    I recall in one of my first jobs after the military, the company switched to a 401k plan and had one of the plan’s “spokespersons” explain it to the employees who worked on the factory floor. As she explained that some, or even all of the money invested in the 401K could be lost, one young man asked “Can they tell me I OWE money?”
    It is obvious to you and me that the answer is no, but the woman who was “selling” the plan panicked and said she was running late and had to leave!
    I explained how investments work, which took only a few seconds.

    “Whore” means that she has sexual relations with other persons in exchange for money or some other valuable commodity or benefit. 

    There is no evidence that Sarah Palin has ever had sexual relations with other persons in exchange for money or any other valuable commodity or benefit. Any actual evidence we do have suggests she has had, in the past, sexual relations with other persons either in order to bear her own children, or as an otherwise meaningless expression of uncontrollable passion for a six foot eight inch tall star major college basketball player – who presumably was anatomically proportioned, which makes that expression something of a middle-of-the-road expression of sexual passion for a sexually active American woman – and possibly also for some as-yet not entirely understood, but nonetheless quite typical culturally iconic reason (as we know from the Jerry Springer show, from daytime soap operas, and from pulp romance novesl) with her husband’s then business partner, while her husband is not immediately available, either on business or off chasing dogs or moose or moose with dogs. 

    None of these fits within the definition of a “whore”.It’s possible you mean to say that she METAPHORICALLY works as a prostitute on Fox News Channel, trading in her popular image as a sexually desirable politician. But there is no evidence that she IS in fact a politician; there is evidence that she USED to be a politician, but she quite clearly gave up that line of work to become a full time pundit. She certainly did not leave office  because of anything voters did. So, that metaphorical reference also does not fit within the definition of a “whore”.Finally, there is no evidence that she is “dumb”. Indeed, she was a successful politician in several political campaigns and became mayor of a small town and governor of the most sparsely populated state in the union, and she has made millions of dollars from book sales and a contract with a major cable TV network for working only part-time as a political pundit. There IS evidence that she says dumb things, but it is not at all clear that the dumb things she says express any opinions she herself holds, and there is also evidence that the things she says in public in that role as an employed contractor for that major cable TV network are said in the FASHION she says them on the clear expectation of her employer that she will say those things in such a way that it sounds dumb objectively or to liberal viewers (if there is any material difference).All of this suggests that Sarah Palin has had sexual relations in the past for quite culturally typical reasons that do not involve trading sex for money or any other valuable thing – yes, maybe a lot of sexual relations for those typical reasons, but your criticism wasn’t aimed at the VOLUME or IMMENSITY of the amount of sexual relations she has had in the past, but instead at her motives for having that voluminously immense amount. Indeed, it’s completely consistent with her doing all that, so much, because she liked doing it, that much.Really, it all kind of warms the cockles of one’s heart, or something.

    Sure, Sarah is right that it may be better, overall, for republicans to be sweet to each other. But if she thinks they have been sniping at each other so far, wait until the primaries get hot and heavy.

    She is correct, as usual.  The leftwing media will do anything/everything to slander all republican candidates, they don’t need to be working against each other, they need to be working against Obama.

    BriWi already went after Newt now that he is leading; BriWi bows to Obama and refuses to ask him a single hard question or discuss a single scandal associated with him (Fast and Furious for example, Jon Corzine for example).

    Today’s media are a disgrace to this great nation.  They have thrown in their integrity, their responsibility and become nothing but propagandists for the DNC and Team Obama.

    They are not ever to be trusted again.

    I see the old Conservative Victimization Syndrome is in high gear this morning. Seems to me  the charge against the Newt is being led by the likes of Coburn, King, Krauthammer, Molinari, Scarborough and Will. Don’t think any of them are left-wing media types, Tina. By prognosis is the Newt is going to remain strong until the holidays are over, then he will meet the fate of the Half-Baked Alaskan, Mad Michelle, the Donald, Tollbooth and Herb of Zipper Failure Fame. Our once rock-solid, stoic Republicans are like teeny boppers, running from one boy band to the next. Rest assured, the Newt will fall, or actually be pushed over the ledge, but the perpetrators will be Willard, virtually every colleague of the Newt in Congress and to a lesser extent Tollbooth and Dr. Ron Pale. You’ve got a terrible crop of candidates, and I suspect you know that very well. The liberal media, however, has nothing to do with the offerings.

    exposed the GOP for their rampant corruption, stupidity and lies that its ranks
    all race to the bottom of the barrel to embrace.  During the Reagan / Bush years they kept that

    I have been a big supporter of Sarah nPalin and will continue to be, no matter what is said about her. These jerks haven’t got the brains they were born or in the democraps world Hatched with. You haven’t heard the last of Sarah she will be back to deal with these political hacks and the democraps media circus who tried to put her down or hurt her in someway to discredit her, but all they did was to dicredit themselves and make people distrust anything they have to say. I strongly believe Sarah Palin would have been the best thing to happen to this country. The dems have to talk about someone to make themselves look good and get a few laughs, but people are laughing at THEM not with them because we know how stupid these people are. They have set out on a course to detroy America as we know and love her and they don’t want anyone to get in there way. These people are just like a drug addict, they will hurt, kill and discredit or sue or threaten anyone who will oppose them. Thats why this spending jerk has to be stopped NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
