Palin advises Romney, 'go rogue'

Source: CNN

(CNN) - Sarah Palin became the latest conservative to lend her two cents to the Republican ticket on Saturday, urging Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to give the country a "come to Jesus moment."

"With so much at stake in this election, both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan should 'go rogue' and not hold back from telling the American people the true state of our economy and national security," Palin told the conservative "Weekly Standard" in a statement published Saturday.

"America desperately needs to have a 'come to Jesus' moment in discussing our big dysfunctional, disconnected, and debt-ridden federal government," the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee continued, after urging the ticket to "find ways to break through the filter of the liberal media to communicate their message of reform."

-snip-

"Obama's motto seems to be, 'Let the good times roll in my day. The kids can deal with the catastrophic bankruptcy in theirs,' Palin continued. "That's no way for the leader of a great nation to behave, and I hope Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney continue to call him out on it. Generations of American children are counting on them."

She's projecting more than a little when she says the government is "dysfunctional" and "disconnected."

Btw, this isn't the first time Palin's advised Romney to "go rogue" -- she did this back in May, too:

62. She saw the money and that was come to jesus moment

The nation came to a disastrous come to jesus moment under Bush and Palin thinks our current increasing prosperity for the many will destroy the Oligarchy she thinks she now belongs. "Keep your government hands off my means of making money".

She gives true meaning to the word 'Bimbo'.
Please media please stop giving credence to the rantings of slow minded hacks like Palin.

5. oh goody

Sarah succeeded as a rogue only because she was sexy..
(to many... I know not all DUers agree).

John McCain could go rogue because he'd been tortured.

Mitt isn't sexy or a tortured veteran.
If he and Monsieur Ryan are taking Sister Sarah's advice it can
only get creepier.

19. Common parlance in some places. It's after the call in churches to get "saved".

What it means in other circles is the ultimate in persuasion, this-is-life-or-death, we're not fooling around any more, it's now or never, what are you waiting for, etc.

Like this:

45. True dat. I actually like and respect the term. Hits just the right note.

But I favor the "own volition" side, with ample acknowledgement that the call is filled with psychological manipulation. And that never fails to fascinate me.

What is truth? The things you have said the last few years tell me you don't know what truth is, dead stop. Here is a truth for you, madam. Thanks to your collegues, Obama has not been allowed his own budget, just "continuing resolutions set at the current levels." Guess what, that current level was Bush's last budget.

The GOP has offered nothing positive or Progressive to our Country.

Both candidates in my opinion are not leaders that would benefit most of the United States Citizens except to set our successes back wards. Health care Reform, Social Security & Medicare do not need to be destroyed and scarring our Senior Citizens and disrespect to our War Veterans does nothing to put our faith in the GOP ideas.

She sure has a lot to say but won't step up to the plate herself. All she does is issue nasty screeds periodocally from her proected perch on Faux News.

I'll say one thing for batshit Bachmann - at least she had the guts to throw her hat in the ring and participate in the GOP primary debates. Personally I was looking forward to republicans ripping Palin to shreds during those debates, it would have made the debates "must-see TV" for me.
