Palin: Let's Merge The Tea Party And GOP
Rachel Slajda | January 29, 2010, 12:10PM


Former vice presidential candidate and current Fox News contributor Sarah Palin said last night that the Republican Party should merge with tea partiers.

Fox's Greta Van Susteren asked if tea party candidates would end up siphoning votes from GOP nominees, or if the movement will "merge with the Republican Party."

"They need to merge," Palin said. "Definitely, they need to merge. I think those who are wanting the divisions and the divisiveness and the controversy -- those are the ones who don't believe in the message. And they're the ones, I think, stirring it up."

As we've reported at TPMmuckraker, the tea party movement has been increasingly divided. Much of the friction has been over the national tea party convention to be held in Nashville. Critics say the convention, with its expensive tickets and for-profit organizer, doesn't jive with true tea party values. Yesterday, we reported that Reps. Michele Bachmann and Martha Blackburn have dropped out.

Palin, whose speaking fees are rumored to be around $100,000, told Van Susteren she is still on for the convention. "You betcha," she said.

On the divisiveness, she continued, "We need to ignore that and we need to forge ahead with a cohesive message. It's a common sense message. It, again, is, Government, limit yourself so that the private sector, our families, free individuals can grow and thrive and prosper and enjoy America's freedom!"

As for whether the tea partiers want to merge with Republicans, that's a different story.

1. hehe

[hatrack]

2. Too late!

They're WAY ahead of you, Gov. Quittenator!

[KingFlorez]

3. That's a good idea

Teabag the whole party, that ought to get a lot of votes.

[maxsolomon]

4. the tea party is athena sprung from the GOP's forehead

there is no difference, and neither side is smart enought to understand that. idiots.

[NoPasaran]

23. One important difference

Athena represented wisdom. The teapartiers represent the opposite.

[JuniperLea]

5. Go Palin!

I fully support your idiotic efforts! You're the best thing to happen to the Democratic Party in decades!

:rofl:

[BOSSHOG]

6. Perfect Match, the party of no and the party of hell no

Selfishness squared.

[rucky]

19. DUzworthy!

[WCGreen]

7. Government, limit yourself....

What a fucking idiot...

[DJ13]

8. She's a smart one

lol

[malaise]

9. Both sides will soon reject this money-loving

Grifter of a quitter.

[livetohike]

10. She's such a clueless cartoon character "free individuals

can grow and thrive and prosper and enjoy America's freedom." Like a record with a scratch in just keeps repeating itself, over and over and over. Someone gave her a paying job. It's amazing.

[Beaverhausen]

11. She just wants that $100K

[tanyev]

12. Keep talking, Sarah!

Your freeper/birther pedestal is starting to wobble.

[yellowcanine]

13. Barbie Doll Palin: the Gift that gives and gives.

[DFW]

14. That's like saying "let's merge a paramecium"

Or, "let's merge the water of Lake Michigan with the water of Lake Michigan."

Merging them? No problem. Separating them? Problem!

[lpbk2713]

15. What a dickhead.

"If stupidity were a crime she'd be doing time."


(Excellent line from another thread)

[randr]

16. For the most part the tea party is but a splitter of the

Repugs. It is the ugly undereducated crowd empowered by palin in the first place.
By the way, we need to let the MSM know that palin is no more an ex=governor than a college dropout is an ex graduate.

[tularetom]

17. She won't know whether to shit or go blind

If she appears at this clusterfuck she destroys any chance she might remotely have at the 2012 gop presidential nomination.

If she doesn't show up she loses $100,000.

She's already damaged goods with the mouth breathers due to her endorsement of McCain in his primary.

My guess - she takes the $100K, and bails at the 11th hour.

[Javaman]

20. worse yet, she shows up, signs a few autographs, looks at her watch and bolts. LOL nt

Fulfills her contract, gets photo face time, the ball lickers get their rocks off and most of all she walks away with 100k. And at the end of the day, that last thing is all that matters to her.

[Javaman]

18. Is it just me or does it appear she just learned a new word: merge.

she seems unable to say it enough.

go for it failin quitter, you are a one woman band of stupid.

[concerned1]

21. She forgot to mention the Alaskan Independence Party

The perfect threesome!

[beac]

22. Yup, nothing succeeds like secession!

;)

And WELCOME to DU! :hi:

[beac]

24. Do her handlers think she can win in 2012 if they can just manage to

beat the sense out of us by an violent and unending series of facepalms?

[Ardent15]

25. Bring it on

I want to see the GOP irrational and hemorrhaging votes.

[thereismore]

26. How can she speak English like this. Word salad. Nobody speaks like this. It's ridiculous. nt
