Sarah Palin about to dump on tax cut compromise?
Congressional Democrats aren’t the only ones balking at the compromise reached between President Barack Obama and Senate Republicans over the Bush tax cuts.
GOP presidential presumptive Sarah Palin may be about to come out against the package as well. Below are two Twitter messages she’s passed along in the last few hours.
Both appear to endorse remarks in opposition made by U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.:

Half of the tea party were on unemployement, I wish President Obama had done nothing and put you idiots on the street like the great depression.
This is what happens when you vote the sam pary in that destroyed the country for 8 years.

Boy, people on this blog really dislike Sarah Palin alot, I guess the Community Organizer and former senator(WHO QUIT HIS JOB,OUCH) Obama has completely won them over. Lets see she would not do the following for example (1) Allow the Mexican president to stand before Congress and badmouth one of our states,(2) secure the border where the illegal immigrants flood the states,(3) apologize to every foreign country(mostly Muslim and dictatorships) you can think of in the world,(4) has created a 10% unemployment rate by refusing to take federal action against employers and the illegal invasion. Oh, I forgot these illegals are prospective Democratic voters later on if the administration has its way. Obama is well spoken, educated and African American, which makes him the party star. He gets a pass on alot of things because he is African American but no one will admit to it. Sarah Palin has common sense, has a son who volunteered for the military and is basically just one of the regular folks, not some elistist(misspelled) Harvard law grad. I was not initially going to support her but now she gets this INDEPENDENT vote if she is nominated!!!! Wonder if Barack wants his daughters to serve this country in some capacity when they are old enough, just askin????

Y’all leave Sarah alone…..let me ask all of you who have posted nasty and bad things about her……”How many of you have been elected Governor of your state”? and, how many of you have been picked as a vice-presidential candidate? You know, she might not have all the qualities you desire in a POTUS, but she is a nice person and how many of you don’t have the desire to live the way she does? and, how many of you ladies? don’t wish you looked liked her? (If you look better, please post a picture). No, I would not vote for her for president and I truly don’t think she’ll get that far; however, you have to give her some credit…..if you’re honest!!!!!

USvsUs – That is the way alot of INDEPENDENTS think now, or maybe it is just me!! Is Siam another Muslim country?? Just askin?? I do watch OReilly but Hannity is a little too far right for my tastes. AnAMERICAN PATRIOT – that was very good and I almost agree with you completely! But what if it came down to Palin vs Obama in 2012?? Not great choices but very possible it could happen?? What would you do then?

Having 1/2 Governor Sara Palin discussing taxes is like her inviting Kay Glossing and her 8 kids to a Sara Palin Moose BBQ that went terrible wrong after their first bite into a half cook MooseDog……….

td – the fact that you can say in the same post that Palin is not qualified to be president but that you would vote for her says something about your intellectual abilities. And it ain’t good. Please take your hyperpartisanship to a place that values it (i.e. not America).

Well, let me put it this way, Tom……Do you remember the line in Smokey and the Bandit (and, I don’t know, you might not be inclined to watch movies such as this) where Sheriff Buford T. Justice of Texas told his son (who had just done something else stupid)….”There is no way that you came from my loins”. Tom, I’m telling you…”There is no way, no way I would ever, I repeat ever, vote for a muslim for POTUS. I hope I was not unclear in my answer to your query.

If you read my post carefully enough, I said I would vote for another candidate in the primary but would definitely vote for her over Obama. I think she is every bit as qualified as he was when he ran and will be as much qualified as he is by the time his first term ends.
I do not think you have any room to talk about qualification because I am sure you voted for Obama and he had less qualifications than Palin has.
“hyperpartisanship to a place that values” You have to be kidding me right? This is a one of the most partisan left blogs in the state.

Demint is turning his back on over 72,000 South Carolinians who’s unemployment benefits are about to run out just to save estate taxes for the very, very rich. If Palin endorses this she’s making a big mistake.
Just look at the conditions in Demint’s South Carolina. The low tax, low wage, minimal govt spending formula means poverty, unemployment and violent crime. For more info: http://jimdemints-southcarolina.blogspot.com

Why don;t you talk to the Great One and ask him, along with the tree-hugging liberals, to allow the drilling for oil offshore and on territory we own/control. We have enough oil if we would only drill for it. Yeah, I’m saying it: drill, baby, drill!

We can’t afford a third party at this juncture. A third party will merely siphon off the votes that would have gone to the Republicans – leaving us to the hands of the ever-loyal democrats. A third party would give Obama and company a second term. THAT is a scenario I definitely wouldn’t be happy to consider!
