Sarah Palin wowed em in Texas tonight while stumping for conservative Ted Cruz.
Chron.com reported:
On a village green in The Woodlands, north of Houston, Friday evening, an enthusiastic crowd of approximately a thousand tea partiers joined U.S. Senate hopeful Ted Cruz in a “Yes, We Can” chant parodying the current occupant of the White House and gave a rapturous welcome to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who told the crowd that those “who cling to our guns, God and Constitution” have a friend in Cruz.
A relaxed Cruz, wearing boots and faded Levis, his wife Heidi standing on an outdoor stage with him, told the crowd on a hot, sultry evening they had the power to restore the U.S. Constitution, retake the U.S. Senate, retire Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid, repeal Obamacare and “retire President Barack Obama.” The crowd responded with a long ovation. “That, my friends, is change we can believe in.”
Palin, who endorsed Cruz before the May primary, also mocked Obama, who predicted during a recent Texas trip that the Lone Star State soon would become “a battleground state.”
“There will be an Alaskan-sized blizzard on the Brazos before Texas turns blue for Barack,” said Palin, who wore dark sunglasses and black boots given to her by Gov. Rick Perry, who’s backing Dewhurst. Palin assured the crowd they would all be back on the same team after Tuesday.
Earlier in the evening, U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., the leader of the Senate’s tea party caucus, predicted a landslide Cruz victory.
“We’re on the two-yard line,” Cruz told the crowd. “It’s the very end of the game. We have marched the entire length of the field, we started out deep in our end zone – we started out up at the hot dog stand – and I tell you the other side has brought in the 1978 Pittsburgh Steelers to guard that end zone. But we are facing a battle to push those final two yards. I gotta tell you that collectively when the men and women here got us to this runoff, there was a collective shriek of terror from the Austin political establishment.”
Palin spent most of her 20-minute remarks lambasting Obama and what she called “the permanent political class” in Washington. Palin called Cruz’s election “a come-to-Jesus moment.”“There is good news,” she said, “and that is, there is nothing wrong with America that a good, ol’ fair election can’t fix.”

Go get ‘em Sarah! No one can fire up the base like she can, still leading the charge despite the permanent political establishments’ continual betrayals and the media’s duplicitous portrayals. So she fights back, one conservative candidate at a time, rebuilding the Republican party from the ground up.
I shall forever be grateful for the courage Palin has displayed in fighting for her country. Would that we all had such courage, maybe she wouldn’t be so sorely needed.

They did not build that speech. They had help.
I helped them by providing idiotic remarks in my speech. And, David Axelrod helped!
Further, I will not be ridiculed by a bunch of Cowboy Texans who don’t even use a Teleprompter!
My campaign bus is overheating and David Axelrod has a new scam for my donkey donors. It’s the Big Lie scam. Besides who cares about my donkey donors? They always vote for me. I say screw them! I cannot answer any more questions. My campaign sucks. Good day.

wiki info commented:
on a clear day ted can see coober from point bolivar, texas.
Sal commented:
They were neck and neck in my opinion, until Dewhurst started flushing items down the memory hole. That, and the scary music ads. I’m willing to give Cruz a try.
Actually, we had a big slate of good possible candidates. Lucky in Texas, I guess.

Palin speaks, and the whole “establishment” goes bonkers. They tried so hard to destroy her, and by her not running they were successful, but they can’t shut her up. This woman has more guts than 90% of our so called R leaders.
southernsue commented:
sarah knows what she is doing because she is a child of GOD and she is not ashamed to say it or live it and GOD steers her every decision!
wish she was going to be our vp, that would put her in the right spot for prez in 2016!
