Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz rally 1,000 for Ben Sasse in North Platte

Source: Omaha World Herald

By David Hendee

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — Two Republican rock stars and a cast of backup singers brought their act to Nebraska Friday for U.S. Senate candidate Ben Sasse as the state’s GOP primary heads for a wild finale.

Tea Party favorites Sarah Palin, a former vice presidential candidate, and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas rallied a crowd of about 1,000 to support Sasse in the May 13 primary.

“What we need in the Senate are folks who are willing to not just go along to get along. We need the fighters,’’ Palin said. “That’s why I’m here for Ben Sasse. He is the right person for this job.’’

The band of politicos staged their show at Buffalo Bill State Historical Park, against the backdrop of colorful western showman William F. Cody’s cavernous horse barn. Sharing the spotlight were Sen. Mike Lee of Utah and former Nebraska Gov. Kay Orr.

John Mccain for inventing her and actually sinking your own presidential hopes in the process. Who knows, you could have won with someone else.

Palin and Cruz met together in some other state recently. I'm not one to start rumors, but I wonder if some hanky panky going on.

And if I were a democrat politician I would use that photo the way any right winger would use it if it were a liberal doing it.

That's not so many people for the so called "Big Guns" of the Republican Party. Do they think that's good?

i am amazed at the stupidity and outright insanity of supporters of those two - oh wait, they're republicans, they don't think, they only react to anything the black president does or says and all is negative. they have only one objective and that is to destroy the basic needs of most of those in country - taking their hate out on babies, children, veterans, the disabled and older people.
it's all to garner more for themselves and their corporate supporters who want to undo protections of the environment and workers
welfare. how can a mine worker want safety regulations undone? unbelievable!!!! but they are wealthy and can live in places that aren't dangerous and drink bottled water.
