After screwing over New Hampshire in 2010 Sarah Palin opens the door for a third party

  Sarah Palin recently made news when she said she was open to either creating or joining a third party if the Republicans continue to sell the American people out. This is what she had to say:

“if the GOP continues to back away from the planks in our platform, from the principles that built this party of Lincoln and Reagan, then yeah, more and more of us are going to start saying, ‘You know, what’s wrong with being independent,’ kind of with that libertarian streak that much of us have. In other words, we want government to back off and not infringe upon our rights. I think there will be a lot of us who start saying ‘GOP, if you abandon us, we have nowhere else to go except to become more independent and not enlisted in a one or the other private majority parties that rule in our nation, either a Democrat or a Republican.’ Remember these are private parties, and you know, no one forces us to be enlisted in either party.”

  With the Republican leadership being  more concerned with their own personal interests and political power, and less concerned with serving their constituents I could not agree more with this sentiment. The Republicans are taking their base for granted because they feel as if the voters have nowhere else to turn and in the end they feel we will hold our noses and vote once again for the lesser of two evils.

  But many voters, myself included, are sick and tired of holding their noses and voting for the lesser of two evils because in the end the two parties are really indiscernible on too many issues. This is why myself and several others have been working for six months to create a real alternative called the New Federalist Party and I would suggest that if you are fed up with Washington DC you check out what we have been up to.

  However I have a deep seated resentment towards Sarah Palin and I have held this resentment since the elections of 2010, and now it is time for me to vent.

  Earlier this week Sarah Palin stated that Marco Rubio and Kelly Ayotte should face a primary challenge when they come up for reelection. Once again I agree with Sarah Palin on this issue but I cannot help but think back to the 2010 election when I hear her make this statement.

  Back in 2010 Kelly Ayotte was running for the Senate and she suddenly faced serious opposition when a little known candidate named Ovide Lamontagne surged in the final weeks of the primary campaign. With little money and few commercials Ovide Lamontagne gained the support of the conservative and Tea Party groups in New Hampshire and closed the gap on Kelly Ayotte.

  This was particularly exciting for me for I was on the Ovide bandwagon from the beginning and America’s Watchtower endorsed him early on in the race. Kelly Ayotte was what would be considered the establishment Republican candidate while Ovide Lamontagne was the outsider and needless to say the elitist Republican leadership rushed to endorse the establishment candidate over the outsider.

  Sarah Palin was one of those who decided to endorsed Kelly Ayotte, calling her a “Granite State Mama Grizzly:”

“It’s my honor to endorse a Granite State “mama grizzly” who has broken barriers, fought off and locked up criminals, and battled all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to protect the rights of New Hampshire parents – and won,” Palin wrote.

“New Hampshire is lucky to have Kelly Ayotte as a candidate for the U.S. Senate this year.”

  In my opinion she did this for two reasons and two reasons only: One; because Kelly Ayotte was the establishment candidate, and two; because Kelly Ayotte was a woman. In a close race which was decided by about 1,600 votes it seems to me that Sarah Palin’s endorsement probably pushed Kelly Ayotte over the finish line. 

  The race was so close that Ovide Lamontagne could have called for a recount under state law, but instead he conceded the race with the following statement, which in my mind proved to me he was the candidate who should have won:

I believe that in our American republic, the people are the sovereign. That means the people are the king, and we are their subjects” Lamontagne said. “Well, the people of Hew Hampshire have spoken and they have ruled. While I’m disappointed with the result, I humbly accept their verdict

  While I am glad that Sarah Palin belatedly realized that the GOP establishment is part of the problem I just wish she had realized it before he stuck her nose into a race she knew little to nothing about in the first place, if she had there would be no need to talk about a primary challenge to Kelly Ayotte.
