Quote of the day
posted at 9:30 pm on June 7, 2009 by Allahpundit
“The disinvitation from speaking, said a campaign committee official, was done ‘out of respect’ for Gingrich.
‘You dance with the one who brung ya,’ said the official, who stressed that event organizers were still happy to have Palin appear and be introduced…
Palin’s staff had even been sent an agenda with the governor’s speaking slot included.
But then a finance official with the NRSC called Palin aide Meg Stapleton Saturday night to say that Sessions didn’t want Palin to speak.
Recounting the conversation Sunday, Stapleton said she told the NRSC staffer: ‘Why, at a time when we’re trying to build the party, would you pull a move like that on somebody who earlier in the day just attracted 20,000 people?”

Clueless here as to what this story is about.
AnninCA on June 7, 2009 at 9:32 PM
It’s hard not to do things like that when you can’t see past your nose.
Chaz706 on June 7, 2009 at 9:33 PM
is this true?
toenail on June 7, 2009 at 9:36 PM
Excuse my ignorance but what is the difference between the RNC and the NRSC … I recall the latter seems to have made a bad choice in Florida. Steele is the head of the former. Right?
gh on June 7, 2009 at 9:38 PM
So many dumb republicans in congress. Unbelievable. They disinvite a woman who is dynamic and conservative, and brings in the crowds; for a dinosaur that can’t make up his mind on an issue and said “the era of Reagan is over.”
Way to rebuild the party!!
jencab on June 7, 2009 at 9:39 PM
I tend to think this is the key paragraph in all this…
Palin is going riding out the GOP mess in Washington and is keeping her distance from the DC crapfest going on.
She’s running and she’s smart enough to play outside the beltway if there’s a chance to win the hearts and minds of a very pissed off electorate!
katy on June 7, 2009 at 9:40 PM
I’ll have to repeat myself. But the headline to the linked article is: Sarah Palin backs out of fundraising dinner — again
Why? She didn’t back out. She was asked to speak and then after she accepted was told she couldn’t. And there was no “again.” She denied previously accepting the invitation to speak.
So, why must the
reporterstory-maker-upper, write this junk?Blake on June 7, 2009 at 9:41 PM
If it isn’t plain to anyone else yet, these people at the top of the Republican structure don’t want things to change because if they play ball they will be rewarded by the new, unstoppable juggernaut.

the_nile on June 7, 2009 at 9:41 PM
Ef the Republican hierarchy! I made a vow earlier this year after Juan McAmnesty blew it bigtime that every donation request from the Republican Party would be met with a donation to Sarahpac.
These clueless clowns gave us Mccain and thus Obama and are getting their asses handed to them across this land because they demand DemLite candidates.
I will officially change my registration to Independent and hope Sarah runs as one!
If I could only get that wasted donation back from McNumbnuts I’d gladly give it to Sarah. It was intended for her in the first place.
Disgusted Dhunter!
dhunter on June 7, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Again, I haven’t a clue as to what this particular story is about.
Clue me in?
AnninCA on June 7, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Beyond pathetic…no matter whom you support we’re a team without leadership. They talk about big tents but continue to eat their young.
Hey, I’ve got an idea. How about at least including those of us already here?
Morons.
califdreamnred on June 7, 2009 at 9:43 PM
These things happen for a reason. As Sarah would say, it’s Providential. The more she is shunned, the more it will pique curiosity. There is a strong movement against the Beltway and they only hurt themselves by not acknowledging Sarah. The GOP is clueless that the animosity is with them as much as it is the Dems…. but I think they will get the message sooner or later.
Meanwhile I love the way Sarah keeps popping up discreetly here and there. She is able to get her message across in these various venues. Smart lady.

the_nile on June 7, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Such as? Who is rebuilding the party right now? Jeb Bush? Mitt Romney? Michael Steele? All they seem to care about is getting in front of a camera and trying to appear “moderate”. Palin speaks from her heart and doesn’t act the way a poll or media pundit tells her she should.
Doughboy on June 7, 2009 at 9:45 PM
I think Sessions did Palin a huge favor–but of course he’s too dimwitted to know it. This latest slight from the Republican establishment in DC is only going to fire up her grassroots supporters even more. Most of us are already disenchanted with the feckless GOP and this latest boneheaded move on their part only reinforces our belief that THEY are the problem–not Palin.
Redneck Woman on June 7, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Who do we call to voice our displeasure? Pete Sessions?
PrincipledPilgrim on June 7, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Hey Anne…click on the funny linky thing in the story.
califdreamnred on June 7, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Lets see, she had an amazing speech last night and they disinvited her because they knew she would give a better speech than Gingrich. Pretty easy for me to see. Unless Gingrich is angry with her for “lifting” from him. /sarc
deidre on June 7, 2009 at 9:48 PM
The Washington Elite cannot handle the fact that she is not sold out to the status quo. It’s the same thing that drives the Trolls crazy. Well, that and their instructions they receive to disrupt threads about her.
kingsjester on June 7, 2009 at 9:49 PM
Let’s dump these entrenched politicians and start the New Republican party, starting with Sarah and everyone else with the juevos to kick these guys to the curb. Rudi, Mitt, ???
Come on, let’s roll!
califdreamnred on June 7, 2009 at 9:50 PM
We voiced similar sentiments. I was thinking of calling P. Sessions office to voice my displeasure but perhaps he should be called and thanked. Nah, the sarcasm would be lost upon them.
PrincipledPilgrim on June 7, 2009 at 9:50 PM
(emphasis mine)
Now what do you think we, or Republicans, can learn from that……….?
Why would she ‘upstage’ Newt…….?
…….. What could she possibly have to say that could cause this?
Why is she so popular with the CONSERVATIVE base……?
……… If you have a wining message, why would you not want it spoken?
How could more exposure of a Conservative message, attracting more Conservatives, and Conservative dollars to the party be a ‘bad’ thing……….?
……. And finally, why am I sending money to Gov. Palin and not to the NRCCNRCCNRFNNEECXCCCNENENRRRNCC, or what ever the hell they call themselves?!?!?
Figure it out Mr. Sessions…………

NRSC Theme Song
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to,
cry if I want to,
cry if I want to.
You would cry to if it happened to you.
PrincipledPilgrim on June 7, 2009 at 9:52 PM
I don’t think she’s committed yet but she’s certainly keeping her foot in. She’s (blatantly) a team player but she’s ready to lead, should it be necessary.
I listened to her entire speech today. Her public speaking has improved a great deal since last November, which leads me to believe she’s been working on it. It’s very important for her to not assist the media next time around.
She mentioned being able to see “foreign countries” from Alaska. It was obviously a reference to SNL and the crowd obviously got it.
I hope she gets to the point where she can just quote Tina Fey directly: ” … but I really can’t see Russia from my house.” It would get an even bigger laugh and it would be in-your-face to the press.
gh on June 7, 2009 at 9:52 PM
I just sent Newt an email asking him to insist that Sarah speak at the fund raiser. Newt gets to look magnanimous and we get to hear Sarah. Good for the party.
huckleberryfriend on June 7, 2009 at 9:53 PM
Doesn’t Sessions have a key vote coming up on the Senate judiciary commitee? A vote for or against Soda_Mayor? Lets see how this douchebag votes before we tar and feather him with the rest of the clowns carrying The Pinnochio Presidentes’ coattails and fanning The Won with peacock feathers.
Disgusting batch of whimps and panderers and as for Gingrich: YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE AND BLEW IT JUST GO AWAY YOUR AN IRRELEVANT TWIRP.
dhunter on June 7, 2009 at 9:53 PM
Because they are just as much a part of the problem as the Dems, that’s why. Unless they put up Sarah or DeMint, odds are I won’t be voting a GOP ticket this time.
PrincipledPilgrim on June 7, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Good luck getting the broad middle to:
Campaign for the party
Make phone calls
donate
Come to rallies
volunteer
Canvas
GOTV
etc.
What part of National Elections don’t these people understand? Was ACORN the moderate middle? Were the nutroots the moderate middle?
Its funny, because one of the lines was:
So he gets that he needs the base and tries to pander to them, but heaven forbid we elect a conservative.
broker1 on June 7, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Because they hate her. And they fear her. She’s not afraid of the one and I’m looking forward to her taking him in the debate. She’s got four years to prepare and he won’t even see her coming …
gh on June 7, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Maybe because Newt is running and the GOP has picked their man…
May I quote from a familiar political figure….
“I would hope that a wise
LatinaAlaskan woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,”katy on June 7, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Wrong Sessions. Jeff Sessions is the judiciary guy. This is Pete Sessions.
PrincipledPilgrim on June 7, 2009 at 9:56 PM

takeamericabackin10 on June 7, 2009 at 9:57 PM
The reason Palin did not “appeal” was the relentless daily smears…everything from book burning to anti-semitism in her church, not to mention the fact that the press turned SNL skits into Palin’s words.
clnurnberg on June 7, 2009 at 9:58 PM

As I said in the headline, they are scared to death of another Reagan type figure even more than the democrats. It’s the fight for the soul of the party.

So true.
Looks like the “radical conservative” base will be tied up doing all these things for Independent Party Sarah!
PrincipledPilgrim on June 7, 2009 at 10:01 PM
I think it’s an episode (maybe #25 or #26) in “The World Turns” or “The Stomach Turns” Or “AllahP needs a Higher Thread Count”. Some soap opera anyway.
MB4 on June 7, 2009 at 10:01 PM
I will even say that Sarah really needs to hone her speech giving skills a little bit. Its a shame but she has to go around the country and rehabilitate herself. Fair or not that CBS interview killed her.
broker1 on June 7, 2009 at 10:01 PM
Than-you for the correction that makes me feel a tiny bit better. Thanks.
dhunter on June 7, 2009 at 10:03 PM
I guess that would be the right time for it.
gh on June 7, 2009 at 10:03 PM
What….Newt and Gov.Palin can’t be on the same stage together…?
That is just bullcrap.
Newt had his chance to be the bell of the ball and he turned it down. Gov. Palin jumped in and took one for the team. Some people seem to forget that. Snubbing the Governor is not what I would call a winning strategy.
Get it together guys.

She has to lose “the hillbilly”. All that “quaint” Alaskan charm (lose the quaint and keep the charm). I think she’s working on it. She sounded more than half way there today.

bill30097 on June 7, 2009 at 10:06 PM
Sometimes I think that people just make this stuff up. I have no idea if it is true, and what is more I don’t know what is actually behind any of this.
I remember not long ago hearing that Palin was supposed to speak at some function or other and it turned out she did not even know what they were talking about, she had not agreed to go…I think some of this is just nonsense designed to get reaction..Slow news day so let’s do some posts about Palin.
Terrye on June 7, 2009 at 10:06 PM

canopfor on June 7, 2009 at 10:07 PM
Rush has often said we would be shocked if we knew the names of those who want to sell out the Conservative part of the GOP. It looks as if some of those names might have their fingerprints on this.
I for one will until otherwise convinced, believe Cornyn has something to do with this. Sessions is suspect for various reasons.
To some, it might look as if they think Gingrich is the one “who may appeal to the broad middle of the country”. He has won out over Palin in this mess. After his Sotomayor flip-flop, you would think he might be the one disinvited. Why can they both not speak? This move only makes those in charge look like two year olds not playing nice in the sandbox.
She said okay in March. Whatever in the world did they expect her to do? Write it in blood? This caricature of her handlers is also something we saw during the election. Some, the Establishment, wanted to paint her Alaskan people as idiots. It was the same after the election, and they within the GOP it would seem want to continue this meme. At this juncture, I am with Palin’s people and would love nothing more than to flush the GOP pompous asses down the toilet!
freeus on June 7, 2009 at 10:07 PM

ddrintn on June 7, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Gingrich go back and sit down on the couch with your buddy Nancy Pelosi you big phoney.
Off topic – Sean Hannity (and Romney the flip flopper) is another big phoney after he backed the RINO Christie in the NJ GOP Gov primary over a real Conservative when either would have beaten Corzine.
bill30097 on June 7, 2009 at 10:08 PM
I want Sarah to leave the Republican Party and make an independent run. You wanna talk about destruction of the party – try excommunicating all the Conservatives.
I’m more than happy to sit here and wait while Obama destroys the rest of this nation – it appears that the only way we’re going to get the country back is through people in the streets – we can’t rely on the GOP to do it.
So message to GOP – yeah – you’re screwed. You’ve lost my vote forever you bunch of elitist whimps.
HondaV65 on June 7, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Screw the NRSC!!!
Their part of the problem and one of the reasons why the GOP keeps fielding such lousy candidates and ends up loosing elections. If I were Palin I would stay as far away from these clowns as humanly possible because all they want from her is the huge fundraising potential she represents and once they get what they want they will probably stab her in the back and endorse some moderate clown instead.
Dreadnought223 on June 7, 2009 at 10:10 PM
And while the US burns, the RNC plays the fiddle….Time to show them who is boss…no money to the RNC, no way, no how!

The GOP is as hungry for big govt as the Dems are. They might want to “rule” it differently but they still want to rule, not allow the people to be self-governed.
PrincipledPilgrim on June 7, 2009 at 10:10 PM
To the dead-asses that make up the GOP powers-that-be, she’s much more of an enemy than Obama will ever be. The “grass roots” are only something they try to tap into at election time, when the votes are needed.
ddrintn on June 7, 2009 at 10:10 PM
No, she has been very successful this week so how can they bring her down. That is how I see it. .
deidre on June 7, 2009 at 10:10 PM

Spiritk9 on June 7, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Maybe this is just what we need. Flush out the RINO panderers and closet Dems and start our own conservative party. I think by 2012 the American people will be so sick of the D.C. elites raping, robbing, and pillaging them and telling them its for their own good that the Tea Parties will become “Throw The Bums Out Parties” with Tar and Feathers Pitchforks and Torches.
And nooses for the state run media whores and presstitutes.

You have a great login (dhunter) which matches my favorite Congressman Duncan Hunter, but you need to get you people straight as Jeff Sessions is the person on the Senate judiciary commitee and is the most conservative of conservatives in the Senate, so you look to be the douchebag by not knowing your players. Jeff Sessions is the most honorable person in the Senate and fyi he is from Alabama.
livermush on June 7, 2009 at 10:14 PM

The elites have facilitated there own irrelevance.
singlemalt_18 on June 7, 2009 at 10:14 PM
What is the NRSC? I have a vague idea what the RNC is.
In Canada we have separate federal and provincial parties (both Conservative and Liberal … don’t know about the others). I don’t know why we have separate parties here either.
I’m a member of the federal Conservative party (I dropped out of the provincial because the leader lost 3* elections and would not step down – he finally did).
[*] First loss was for Mayor of Toronto — to someone with a strong Bostonian accent so you can guess what he’s like.
gh on June 7, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Slightly off-topic, but clicked over to the NRSC website and was greeted by a contribution page asking for help to “defeat Arlen Specter.” Couple of months too slow, seeing as how you supported him until he walked away.
Better to be the dumper than the dumpee, boys, especially if you want the folks to think you have a clue what you are doing.
cs89 on June 7, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Martin is not a conservative. He’s an opportunist. He fabricates whole cloth to impede conservatives. It was the gag between him an Allahpundit who could thwart Fred Thompson’s campaign worst.
maverick muse on June 7, 2009 at 10:14 PM
That is the way. The only way to tear down the elitist butt monkeys in the GOP is to cut off the donations. Send it to Sarah and see how fast they jump on the bandwagon.
conservnut on June 7, 2009 at 10:17 PM
There are a lot of conservatives who are not big Palin fans. I like the woman and respect her very much, but all of these people have personalities and whatever the problem is or was, it might not have anything to do with conservatism. It was probably just some mix up or personality clash or something silly like that.
Terrye on June 7, 2009 at 10:17 PM
conservnut:
Here of late the GOP has been doing a pretty good job of saying NO to Obama. That is worth something right there.
Terrye on June 7, 2009 at 10:18 PM
All that matters in the end is her getting the votes from the conservative public. Ignore the RNC and any other alphabet groups sitting in their high-class offices inside the beltway.
PALIN 2012!
ThePrez on June 7, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Among rank and file Republicans Palin is at about 21%, about the same as Huckabee and Romney. I don’t think there is an overwhelming desire on the part of the average Republican voter to throw his or her undying support behind anyone right now.
There is plenty of time before the next election.
Terrye on June 7, 2009 at 10:21 PM
This is about steering the direction of the party. That is the thing that will win in 2012 not the fact that some of the republicans fought Obama.
Its all about principle and message. The RINO’s have neither.
conservnut on June 7, 2009 at 10:22 PM
Mistake was mine, I admit it and am glad I was corrected. I did not mean to demean an honorable conservative by mistaking him for a pandering RINO.
Now lets see how he votes on Soda_Mayor that will tell us a lot about the man.
I see you got your lips unlocked from Mccains ass long enough to post here. How’d that workout for ya? About the way I told you it would? DemLite RINO’s won’t win elections.
dhunter on June 7, 2009 at 10:22 PM
This is the reason I’m no longer donating to the RNC and the CA GOP. The RNC is just unbeliveable when it comes to interacting with the most popular Republican in America. The CA GOP wants us to help the backstabbing Republicans who passed the tax increase. I’m only donating to SarahPac… She at least will help out conservative Republicans unlike the NSRC…
CCRWM on June 7, 2009 at 10:22 PM
The NRSC is the National Republican Senatorial Committee. The President of this Committee is Sen John Cornyn from Texas.
The NRSC believes, like the Imams of Iran, that it’s their job to tell the people who they should vote for. It was Cornyn and the NRSC that reached it’s hand into the Florida Senatorial Primaries to endorse Semi-Obama Supporter Charlie Crist over Marco Rubio (a Cuban American dyed-in-the-wool Reagan Conservative). Now, if Marco Rubio wins (he is the better candidate) then the Democrats will be able to say that Rubio is merely the GOP’s “second choice” – all because John Cornyn and the NRSC are jackasses.
Now – in another brilliant move – they’ve dis’d Palin – who attracts crowds in the tens of thousands wherever she goes. You’d think they would be smart enough to find a role for someone with that kind of talent – but no – they’re idiots.
Sad to say folks – but the GOP is dead. Gone forever. We need to make another party – this one is broken beyond economical repair. It was infested with elitists who chewed the lumbers to the foundation. This building is condemned now – get the hell out before it falls in on you!
HondaV65 on June 7, 2009 at 10:23 PM
The NRSC is the National Republican Senatorial Committee and they are an official party group that works to get Republicans elected to the Senate. The problem is that over the past few years they have been doing a really crappy job.
Dreadnought223 on June 7, 2009 at 10:23 PM
Newt is pretty much an egotistical freelancer. I think he’s still trying to atone for the late 90′s.
ddrintn on June 7, 2009 at 10:24 PM
The way I see it, Sarah Palin is more popular in conservative circles than the Republicans in DC. The more they push her away, the more people move away from those same Republicans in DC.
No, don’t try to understand the appeal of someone like Palin. Instead, act foolish and insult those to whom she appeals.
pjean on June 7, 2009 at 10:24 PM
Thanks. I thought the “S” was for “state”.
gh on June 7, 2009 at 10:24 PM
I like Newt, but if i have to pick between him and Palin… he loses! What the old boys don’t seem to get is that the base is tired of business as usual. The Tea Parties were not just about BHO and the Dems. The Republicans lost their way over W’s tenure and don’t seem to know how to find their way back. Sarah appeals to more than just conservatives. it is the entrenched politicos within the beltway who are afraid of her.
pgrossjr on June 7, 2009 at 10:25 PM
The first thing we need to worry about is taking back part of the gubment in 2010, worry about 2012 in 2011.
Spiritk9 on June 7, 2009 at 10:27 PM
It also seems there are a lot of conservatives who really just want to bring down Palin for the sake of bringing down Palin. Piling on. I just…don’t…get it.
ddrintn on June 7, 2009 at 10:28 PM
Thanks ( missed your reply ).
I saw something on PBS in the mid-eighties about the US electoral system being rigged in favour of the two major parties so don’t you have to take over the existing party rather than start a new one? The tea party movement (or some of them, anyway) seems to have the right strategy: contest primaries for both parties.
gh on June 7, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Newt is a big cry baby. Anyone who requires that others be insulted in order to accept public recognition is not worthy of conservative support, let alone Palin’s company.
One of the main SOCIAL issues that conservatives are rallying around is the abuse of Conservative Women.
Newt supported Palin as McCain’s VP; but was that merely his facade to regain the good graces of the Party? Evidently so.
I’d support Palin. With sincerity and dedication, Palin is taking care of Alaska against the onslaught from the Leftist Washingtonians making survival illegal. Though I admire Newt’s ability to debate, I not only don’t trust him, I distrust Newt. Anyone as intelligent as Newt who signs onto Global Warming because he figures that’s what is popular deserves to be circumscribed and kept on a tight chain because left on his own, he’s destructive with obsessive greed. His latest affect of loyalty to Regan’s legacy, after promoting the death of the legacy is just too much to ignore.
Newt is a pompous ass.
