Palin: GOP "Through" Without Tea Party
Politico reports:
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Monday warned Republican Party leaders that if they do not adhere to the message of the tea party, the GOP may be "through."
In a brief interview with CNN shortly after a rally for the Tea Party Express in Reno, Palin insisted that the reports of a rift between the tea party and GOP are overblown. But she went on to lay out the consequences of a tea party-GOP split.
"I think more of the machine within the GOP is going to understand that this 'we the people' message is rising, and it's resonating throughout with the independents, with hard core conservatives, with moderates, because it's just so full of common sense and time-tested truths that can put the economy on the right track," Palin said.
"Heaven forbid that the GOP machine strays from this message," she said. "If so, the GOP is through."
