GOP lawmakers want Palin, Bachmann, Beck, and Steve King to shut up

There are very few brave politicians in the world. Most of them mince their words and tell you what they think you want to hear. Brave politicians are ones who speak their mind. They tell you exactly how they feel, consequences be damned. Iowa 5th District Congressman Steve King is among that rare breed.

King joins Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Glenn Beck and Tom Price as the Republicans their fellow party members would most like to mute. A new National Journal poll of 65 GOP senators and lawmakers places those five in a tie for second place, behind "no one", on the list. They each earned 11% of the vote, compared to 16% for no one.

This shows one of the inherent problems with the Republican Party. As the Obama administration subverts the Constitution and seizes more power, King, Palin and Bachmann seem to be the only ones showing true backbone and standing up to the socialist takeover. King, in particular, has become a major thorn in the side of the Obama White House. He has slammed Obama's minions for their ties to Chicago's corrupt political machine, calling it a "gangster government". King is the most vocal House member demanding investigation into the obscenely corrupt ACORN, and Obama's ties to it.

While too many Republicans sit idly by, Steve King shows true loyalty to his country and stands by his principles. He skipped his own son's wedding so he could vote against PelosiCare and the government takeover of the health industry. He stood up for Joe "You Lie" Wilson, exposed the hypocrisy of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, and was the first Iowa politician to speak out against transferring Gitmo terrorists to the state's border.

Sarah Palin also deserves praise, not scorn, from her fellow Republicans. Palin's op-ed in Wedneday's Washington Post exposes the scientific fraud of Climategate and the fallacy of man-made global warming. Palin's piece articulately points out the economic disaster facing our country if Obama and the liberals are successful in Copenhagen. It is the most prominent stance from any U.S. politician against this scam. Palin's piece has the liberals in an uproar and even merited a response from Al Gore, in which he failed to rebuke any of Palin's points.

Sarah Palin and Steve King should not be muzzled. They should continue to speak their minds and stand up against the drastic leftward shift Obama is moving this country towards. If more Republicans showed the intestinal fortitude and bravery of King and Palin, our country, , and the GOP, would be in much better shape.

The republicans dont stand a chance without them.

Both the Republicans and Democrats are traitors they just take turns screwing the American people over...........WE NEED TO KICK THEM ALL OUT AND START OVER before our country goes down the drain completely.

The Renegades make trouble until we become fans and than they join the opposition, it is all a GAME!!!

They try to make each other look bad but it is obvious that both parties are swimming in the same cess pool.

1. Glenn Beck isn't a Republican.

2. Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh cost us a seat in the US Congress by supporting a Conservative candidate and spreading lies about the Republican candidate they opposed, a seat Republicans had held since 1870, which is now occupied by a Democrat who voted for health care reform in a crucial vote, who will also vote for cap and trade and anything else the Democratic Leadership wants.

3. Palin supports amnesty and is pro-free trade.

4. This is not the chance we want in my opinion, butterbean, so we've got to find a better way with different people. It's a shame, because I supported Palin right up to that moment and then researched her unvetted views on immigration and trade, which explained why she did what she did in the NY-23 race. I can't support a Republican who would lie about other Republicans to try to put a member of the Conservative Party in Congress.
