Palin Drives Libertarians out of Tea Party

*** begin quote ***
There was a lot of pushback because of the price of the Palin tickets, and many of the rank-and-file tea party activists see her as a symbol of the establishment GOP’s attempt to co-opt their nascent movement.
Palin evidently thought she could endorse Rand Paul and they’d all throw flowers at her feet. Instead they’re having a melt down over her speech, trying to figure out how to keep the neocons out of future conventions.
Rather than navigating the gulf between the tea party activists and the GOP, Palin drove a wedge between them.
Well, at least she had the good sense not to mention her Bridge to Nowhere. But you have to wonder why they invited her there in the first place.

I correctly called Palin as McCain’s VP 3 months before the decision.
I liked Palin when she made “her” speech/
I thought that she was improperly prepared for the Katie’s ambush.
I do know that the neocons are not libertarians.
I KNOW that the Tea Party people are the “new kids” on the block.
BUT, if they succumb to EITHER party then they will just put BHO44 back in the White House. They need to pick and chose who to endorse base of track records. They need to align with some of the folks that have been fighting these battles for years! They need to back those initiatives that will cut the problems down to size (i.e., Read The Bills Act; One Subject At Time; Audit the FED; Free Competition in Currency Act)/
You have to start cutting this “pig” down to size; not putting lipstick on it.
How about a law DECREASING the debt ceiling a 100M$ every year until it’s ZERO?
