Sarah Palin joins Ted Cruz, confederate flag, as new face of shutdown (photo) & Updated with Video

Last edited Sun Oct 13, 2013, 10:23 PM - Edit history (3)

As if the Republican party didn’t have enough troubles, Sarah Palin has now emerged as the new face of the GOP government shutdown.

Yes, there really is a God.

Palin joined GOP Tea Party Senator, and shutdown leader, Ted Cruz and other Tea Party supporters of the GOP’s shutdown of the federal government in a “million vet march” to protest the fact that the government has actually been shut down.

Point of fact: Neither Palin nor Cruz have actually served in the military, and both support the GOP government shutdown which closed the WWII memorial. But don’t let that get in the way of a good visual.

Video with Palin, Cruz and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah):



Published on Oct 13, 2013
A crowd converged on the World War II Memorial on the National Mall, pushing through barriers Sunday morning to protest the memorial's closing under the government shutdown. (Oct. 13)



Another video clip:

Cruz said that President Obama was using veterans as political pawns in the shutdown. Lee shouted, "The sons and daughters of the United States of America are meant to live in liberty."


Cruz: "Two weeks ago the President of the United States signed a written veto threat. He said, "If you open the memorial, I will veto it."

Video at this link at far bottom of page. Cruz speaks at about the 35s mark:
