Sarah Palin Cuts Robocalls For 'Mama Grizzly' Candidates In Delaware, New Hampshire

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is lending her voice to "mama grizzly" Senate primary candidates in Delaware and New Hampshire. Palin robocalls for the campaigns of Tea Party-backed Delaware Republican Christine O'Donnell and New Hampshire's Kelly Ayotte have been released over the weekend, which encourage voters to cast ballots for her "conservative" candidates on Tuesday's primary elections.

In Delaware, Palin commends O'Donnell's "common sense" and ability to "rein in federal government spending."

"Christine will support efforts for America's energy security and patient-centered health care reform, and cutting Government waste and letting the private sector thrive and prosper," Palin says in the spot, which is also running as a radio ad.

Palin also drops a little solidarity for O'Donnell, who is facing off against GOP mainline candidate and sitting Rep. Mike Castle, saying that she can "relate to the vicious personal attacks on Christine, and can tell you it's sad to see the establishment's desperation in this."

In the Granite State, Palin's robocall claims "true conservative" Kelly Ayotte "will cut spending, eliminate earmarks, protect your 2nd Amendment rights and bring some much-needed Granite State common sense to the Senate."

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), another conservative kingmaker shook up the New Hampshire Republican Senate primary over the weekend when he threw his support behind a surging Ovide Lamontagne, who is running with considerable Tea Party support. Ayotte is also facing self-funding businessman Bill Binnie.

DeMint has also announced that he is endorsing Christine O'Donnell in Delaware.

The latest round of polling in Delaware shows that O'Donnell has largely closed the gap with Castle, making the race now "too close to call."

In New Hampshire, recent surveys show Ayotte conceding substantial portions of her once solid lead on Binnie and Lamontagne.

Go ahead, Palinites. Delet it again. I'll just post it again.

"Hel-LO! This Governor Sarah Palin, here. I'm just calling to say that you should vote {Insert candidate name here} because she's a real mama grizzly. She is going to rear up and protect your cubs from the bad ole' Obama tax increases. You don't want your cubs to face an Obamacare death panel, do you? She will fight for common sense  Read More...

I saw Palin on O'Reilly's show, and he asked her how to pronounce the name of her candidate in NH (I think NH), and she just stared into the camera, so he pointed to his headset and asked if anybody knew, then he asked Palin again, and she just stared.

Does this mean that she doesn't even know who she is stumping for, or was I mistaken?

She made the call refering to herself as Governor $arah Palin...I could see that if she had completed her term...but she QUIT! How can she still be Governor...what a joke a she is! I really hope her ego is inflated enough for her run...so the republican primary candidates can expose her for the grifter that she is. There is so much dirt on her and her family...Romney, Ginghrich and others can have a field day! Please let her run

RoboPalin: "Relax Citizen, Obama is Socialist."

Citizen: "But RoboPalin, the President did tax breaks, corporate bailouts, and secured the insurance industry.

RoboPalin: "Obama is a Muslim"

Citizen: "I thought Christianity was all about gaining converts - Obama has declared his Christianity. What other proof is possible?"

RoboPalin: "Obama is destroying the economy."

Citizen: "But don't economists agree that without the stimulus, we were headed to a global economic meltdown because of the economic conditions Obama inherited?"

RoboPalin: "Obama wants to tax the rich and kill jobs."

Citizen: "But didn't the tax cuts on the rich expand the deficit? And don't rich people hire based on business plans that forecast how many buyers they can get, not based on how much taxes they pay?"

RoboPalin: "I don't like your tone."

ChuckNorris: "Fear not RoboPalin, I will destroy him with my "Action Legs" tm"

Author: "In the beginning there was nothing...then Chuck Norris Roundhouse kicked that nothing in the face and said "Get a job". That is the story of the universe."

Why Robo calls? Because they have no real people to call. Because they are astro turf not grass roots.

The ONLY requirement for a teabag candidate is the ability to say all the buzzwords.

I agree with the state GOP chair....This woman is not qualified.

I loathe the term "mama grizzlies". We are humans with the ability to use language to express ourselves.

With all the descriptive words available to us, the best she can do is pigs with lipstick, barracudas, pit bulls with lipstick, and grizzly bears?

Being likened to animals, who are inferior to humans on the food chain, says much about how regressed those who choose to use those monikers really are.
