Palin to Gillespie: You're 'Out of Touch'
ABC News reports:
Sarah Palin warned the GOP establishment today that conservative candidates, if elected, are not being sent to Washington to work with Democrats. “The GOP has to understand, that machine has to understand, we are not sending Republicans, common sense conservatives, to D.C. to sing kumbaya with Obama, we’re sending them to stop Obama!” the former Alaska governor told Laura Ingraham this afternoon.
“Anyone in the GOP who thinks that they can cut a little bill here or there with Obama or Pelosi to maybe raise taxes… they are going to find themselves without a job in 2012. We’ve got to remind these folks in the next couple of years, we put you in, we can take you out,” Palin said on Ingraham’s radio show.
Palin was adamant that Republican victories in the midterms will not represent a mandate for bipartisanship. “No, the left blew it. Barack Obama blew it. And we’re going to find out tonight, how badly he blew it. It’s not a time to compromise our principles and start kowtowing to that leftist extremist agenda that was thrown down our throat the last two years. No, now is the time finally for common sense conservatives to start implementing the solutions that will make sense,” she said.
The 2008 vice-presidential nominee also took issue with former RNC Chair Ed Gillespie, calling him “out of touch” for suggesting that Republicans should compromise on repealing health care reform. Gillespie said this morning on Fox News that Republicans should govern with “great care” and only repeal “those parts of the health care reform bill, the Obamacare, that have caused premiums to go up and have shifted people out of their insurance they like into a public plan.”
