Clueless Sarah Palin Finally Understands ‘You Didn’t Build That!’
The Democrats got mauled today, deservedly so. To prohibit that from happening to the GOP in 2016, it must learn the lesson from the last time Republicans held the Senate majority. This time they must not retreat, and it’s our responsibility to hold them accountable. Will they fight for reform that aligns with the limited government planks of the Republican platform, or will they return to the big government cronyism and status quo favored by the permanent political class? Will they drain the swamp or decide the D.C. cesspool is really just a jacuzzi they can’t wait to jump on into and shake us off?
If GOP leadership returns to business as usual, then this majority will be short lived, for We the People say, “once bitten, twice shy.”
So, establishment types, remember that you didn’t build this! This majority that swept you into power tonight is thanks to the rank and file commonsense conservative grassroots. That’s who built it. And they expect results. They deserve the best for America.
That Palin used the catchphrase isn’t really the ironic part. Using buzzwords that resonate with the conservative masses even when they don’t make sense (especially when they don’t make sense) is a feature, not a bug, on the right. Besides, Palin is half-right: The Republican establishment didn’t build their huge majority, they created it, the way Frankenstein created his monster. Palin is, in fact, the perfect bolt-necked spokesperson for the creature, and she’s right, they are going to expect something. Can you guess what?
No, the ironic part is who Palin thanks in her “You didn’t build this” message….READ MORE.

I hereby propose a constitutional amendment that her name be changed to Clueless Sarah Palin, as redundant as that is.

Ugh, for the whole article, by brain did it in her voice, I don’t know why but my brain plays tricks on me and now I want to bang my head on the desk.

Me too, I deliberately avoid anything that might have audio of that screeching shrew and have for years but I still hear it in my head…so not fair!

I can’t hear the word “tumor” or “humor” without hearing it in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s voice…

That “majority” she refers to is a majority of the minority of voters. Some mandate.

Politicians actively rely upon the work of the electorate to get where they are.
Businessmen passively rely upon the existing infrastructure and actively utilize their surroundings to get where they are.
searambler November 7th, 2014 at 08:59
Yet the underlying concept is the same. ‘No one does it all by him or her self.’ Whether you’re a businessman using existing infrastructure, or a politician using paid or volunteer workers (workers who are ALSO using that same infrastructure, by the way), your ability to succeed is directly tied to accomplishments that others made before you. Politicians don’t hand deliver those millions of political fliers that arrive in our mailboxes, the Post Office does…
R.J. Carter November 7th, 2014 at 09:20
The biggest difference is one of positioning. The politician is the hired, the businessman does the hir-ing.
Just because the infrastructure exists doesn’t mean that it is what made your business happen. You can have a bucket of LEGO dumped on the floor, but that doesn’t create a tower. You make that happen, not an engineer in Denmark, an airline pilot for FedEx, or a sales clerk at Toys R Us.

“This majority that swept you into power tonight is thanks to the rank and file commonsense conservative grassroots.”, Uhhh, no Sarah. It wasn’t a majority, it was a plurality of white. older, more affluent voters. Next, Dick Armey, the Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson and many other nameless oligarchs are funding your “conservative grassroots”, AKA astroturf, including your sometime employer, Fraud Spews.But, hey, thanks for providing some light fiction for today!

Exactly. This election was purchased by dark money. Thank you Supreme Court! With your explicit support, 99% of our citizens became second-class citizens. Kinda sucks, as a citizen, to rate lower than non-corporeal entities, doesn’t it?

Yes, it does!

maybe we should make elections like a meeting, there has to be a quorum for the election to count: 50% of registered voters. At least with that, we would either get more voters or the same people stay in office. What would be more appealing. also make it quorum for all ethnic groups
