Sarah Palin Tells Iowa Conservatives It's Time 'to Stiffen Our Backs'.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who rallied members of the Tea Party in their failed effort to defund Obamacare, lashed out on Saturday against members of the Republican Party who agreed to end the government shutdown.

The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee's comments during a speech in Des Moines come at a time of division within the party over the strategy conservative members of Congress adopted in forcing a 16-day shutdown of the federal government last month.

Polls have shown voters blamed Republicans for the shutdown.

Palin, who was speaking to hundreds of attendees at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition's annual fall banquet, was joined by Senator Mike Lee, a Republican from Utah. Lee, along with fellow Tea Party movement star Senator Ted Cruz, was instrumental in the ill-fated attempt to defund Obamacare, the popular name for the healthcare reform law championed by President Barack Obama.

Palin told the Christian conservatives in attendance it was time to "stiffen our spines" for the 2014 elections.

"I want to encourage you to make your voice heard, to hold politicians accountable," Palin said.

Good, let her keep the idiots fired up.

[hibbing]

1. Oh great sage, please share your wisdom n/t

[PoliticAverse]

2. Why does the article title say she said 'stiffen our backs' but the article itself says she said

'stiffen our spines'?

[elleng]

4. Headline writers are not article writers,

some are better than others, and some have better editors who police these things.

[jberryhill]

7. Because what she wanted stiffened is unprintable

[QuestForSense]

54. Their butts are stiff enough.

[haikugal]

56. So are their necks.

[RBInMaine]

3. There are more brains in my cat's litter box than in that goofball's head.

[vlakitti]

13. Well, that's mean....

But totally accurate.

[RBInMaine]

22. The truth will set us free.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

35. LOL...

...eom.

[Chipper Chat]

41. Aagh! Well now.......

every time I clean my cat's litter box I will think of the winker-wanker.

[Snake Plissken]

65. Sarah Palin is smarter than the people who come to listen to her babble

The concentration of stupidity in that crowd is so potent, I'm surprised it didn't knock the Earth of it's axis.

[Enthusiast]

70. Oh, they think Sarah Palin is a "smart woman".

Seriously.

[Enthusiast]

69. I refudiate that!

What about Putin?! He rears his head! Where's he gonna go?

[Blue Owl]

5. Treatment for stiff backs is covered under Obamacare

[NMDemDist2]

59. DUzy!!!!

[SoapBox]

6. Shut the fuck up, Moron

Gawd...I hate this jackass.

[Enthusiast]

71. I love her.

She keeps the stupid level at a rolling boil.

[King_Klonopin]

8. Hey, all you rubes

keep voting against your own self-interest. You have made me
one rich bitch. I'm set for life, but y'all keep up the good fight --
you betcha!

Love,
Sarah

[RBInMaine]

26. Ya, they are a bunch of sad pawns, aren't they?

[RBInMaine]

25. Little doubt the TeaFools fantasize about "our gal Sarah".

[nxylas]

10. "Stiffen your spines by donating to my campaign"

"If you donate enough, maybe I might think about running for President myself.

Suckers...wait, is my mic still on?"

[7962]

31. I've been waiting for that "open mic" moment!

[Left Coast2020]

11. Okay. Lets all stiffen our backs and then

we'll scratch our asses all together to honor our fellow comrades who do it every day. You betcha. We'll scratch out rear ends across America with our message of patriotism and liberty. Why? Because we love America by golly.









This ignorant twit is just the gift that keeps on giving.

[truthisfreedom]

12. Quitters never win, Sarah, quitters never win.

And quitters that pretend to never quit are fakers. And fakers are losers. You're dragging a useless component of your party's base into the dirt, and we thank you for that, you useless piece of filth.

14. Tahdd, fire up the ol' Grifter Bus for one more trip around the Rube Circuit.

[Ava Gadro]

16. The sound of her voice

grates on my nerves to the point I want to stick sharp objects in my ears. I don't want to ever hear it again.

[davidpdx]

15. Pinocchio Palin

Every time she tells a lie her nose grows.

[DallasNE]

17. That's So Disjointed I Don't Understand What They Are Arguing For

At one point she is talking about the 2014 elections yet the "stiffen our spines" is directed at the impending rerun of a government shutdown followed 2 weeks later by a government default and those happen in January and February of 2014 so the article is wrong that she is talking about the 2014 elections except to say stand firm on no debt ceiling increase or you will be primaried. Indeed, do elections even matter since she is ignoring the 2012 and 2013 election results. Will the next step be a call to the military to execute a coup if she doesn't get her way? It is McCarthyism on steroids. Are there any Republicans with the backbone to stand up to these extremists? Certainly not John Boehner and that spells big trouble. The joint budget committee will not report out a compromise budget in mid-December as called for by law which means appropriation bills will not be passed by mid-January and throw us into government shutdown II followed in February with a government default on its debt. Yes, it is this bleak if Palin stiffens enough spines.

18. She has been stiffening the tealiban males' fronts

now if she makes them stiffen their backs as well, a tealiban rally will look like a bamboo forest, albeit with a lower IQ than bamboo.

[RBInMaine]

23. A TeaPublican once asked my mother what she thought of "my gal Sarah". Here's mom's reply:

"She's an idiot! All she does is strut around the country flapping her 'you-know-what' around and saying stupid things. She's an idiot!"

Interestingly, this was a weekly peace vigil always infiltrated by this TeaPub who had to spout about his right wing heroes.

Mom was 69 years old and told me that him standing there praising Palin was her last straw. She said he stood there dumbfounded by her response. (pun intended) Shut him right up.

Go mom !

[Doc Holliday]

19. Amazing.

Getting political advice from Sarah Palin is like having Michael Corleone as your tutor in Business Ethics.

Too bad Sarah didn't have the spine to finish her term as governor.

[RBInMaine]

24. She wanted to "get out of Alaska" for a long time and wanted to make money on Fake Noise network.

[Turbineguy]

20. She probably meant

"drinks".

[another_liberal]

21. A few more voices like her's . . .

All we need to take back the House of Representatives next fall is for a few more voices like her's to be given full coverage in the news media. Recent polling shows Americans have finally started to wise-up to that brand of bullshit. They're beginning to realize that the "Beast" Palin's crowd wants to "Starve" is really the American economy as a whole.

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

27. Her message is so geometric,

circuitous all the way. It never stops. Somebody please, make it stop!

[Crowman1979]

28. That would be hard to do since all of her followers are cave men who have yet to evolve.

[1StrongBlackMan]

29. So, it apparears that $i$ter $arah ...

is on a speaking/book signing tour (i.e., personal fund-raising tour) ... So what?

[TheCowsCameHome]

30. She should get off of hers.

Whoring for the tea party isn't something to be admired.

[lastlib]

32. no, but it's profitable..........

[bemildred]

33. "Give me all your money, it's for Jesus."

[RKP5637]

34. Palin, the master pontificator of Idiocracy. n/t

[EC]

36. "crowd of hundreds"

Means about a hundred, maybe?

[heaven05]

37. "socialized medicine"?

What's Medicare? Medicaid? For the social masses. What obfuscation. Outright liars. Yeah, this ilk will continue to vote against their own self interest and if allowed back into power, will destroy what little democracy is left about this country. Palin, shove it! Cruz, you too. Lee? Long walk off a short pier. Hear my voice. Fuck you.

[lastlib]

38. I'm suffering a severe case of "Sarah-annoy-ya"...........

How she EVER got a college degree in communication absolutely baffles me! (Maybe the last college she went to wanted to get rid of her, and gave it to her so she wouldn't come back?)

[dbackjon]

39. Faith and Freedom - sounds fascist

Especially since they don't put their faith into action (feeding the poor, healing the sick) and they stand for denying freedoms to others.

[NastyRiffraff]

40. The trinity from Hell:

Palin, Lee and Cruz.

[Chipper Chat]

42. ..and their wannabe copy boy:

Rubio

[Zeke L Brimstone]

43. I am extremely tempted to make a remark about Mrs Palin and her back

But I shan't.

[L0oniX]

44. So when is she going to hookup with Honey Boo Boo?

Yea well ya know this is where all the acceptance of goofy shit get ya from stupid ass commercials to Fux facade of news. Any worth while news source would not go along with story. A dumbed down society with its news sources catering to the stupid and idiotic all for its sensational affect. "Oh look at the stupid" or for that matter the idol tv shows with its star worship promotion which caters to the empty stupid and obvious "need to get a life" crowd. FFS ...people can't even write in script anymore. American idiot indeed!

[Titonwan]

45. "Straighten their backs"?

I don't think that's even possible with knuckle draggers. I'd pay to see that!

[The Wizard]

47. She really should be in spiked heels

fishnet stockings, clutching a beaded bag, leaning up against a lamppost while trolling for drunken sailors on shore leave. Either that or working as a toilet seat model.

[marble falls]

48. She added as she left in a gaggle of "handlers, "...And keep those checks and cash, barter, cash ..

trade in kind, cash and most importantly cash, checks and of course, cash, coming in, you betcha!" And I got a tube of lipstick for your pitbull.

[wordpix]

49. the non-elected stoopid speaks - totally irrelevant, as always

[rrneck]

50. They'll have to to support the concrete in their heads. nt

[JBoy]

51. Stiffen your backs by shoving your heads further up your asses.

[Faygo Kid]

52. $$$$$. All about the money.

That and Glen Rice.

[Bobbie Jo]

53. ...and roll on the floor like a 4 yr old

having a melt down.

What's next, holding your breath until you turn blue?

[trusty elf]

55. Sarah tells teabaggers to keep stiff upper lap

63. Time To Double Down On Stupid, Paranoid (But Emotionally Satisfying) Shit We Believe

64. The saddest part about this is these idiots have no idea she's a paid spokesperson for the Koch Bros

These idiots think it's some grassroots movement

[elleng]

67. And/or who koch bros are.

[radhika]

66. Can't help thinking of broom handles for some reason....n/t

[mbperrin]

68. Palin got a stiffie? What?
