Palin4President 2016: PALIN TO GOP: 'THIS WON'T BE FORGOTTEN COME 2014' Will That Mean The Birth Of A Conservative Third Party Or Can Conservatives Wait That Long After Continuous Rebuffs?
One thing is certain though, there is a light at the end of this tunnel and it just may be a Palin driven express train which will plough straight through the "permanent political class"
The gist of Sarah Palin's Facebook post (reproduced here) is that the "permanent political class" as Palin describes the Beltway Establishment, comes down hard on those conservatives who were selected and elected by their constituencies, and who actually have the gall to stick to those principles when they get to Washington.
It may be that the apparent purge of conservatives from powerful committees by House Speaker John Boehner (apparent because no clearly defined reason has been given for the purge-which is again, a source of frustration and discontent for conservatives as it seems dismissive and high handed.) is not the final straw.
However, it may be a weighty straw, and its weight may be such as to be approaching the load tolerance level that the poor rank and file camel can bear.
Given the loyalty the conservatives showed to the Establishment by, once again, trudging to the polls to vote for an "electable' centrist, one would have thought the Beltway elite would be bending over backwards to pacify the conservatives.
Given Boehner's apparent attitude, this appears to not be the case. The rank and file can only take so much, the Romney teams dismissing Palin during the campaign was an affront, which she bore stoically, but with the Romney-ite loss, and their having zero credibility the gloves are off.

What happens next is, to a very large degree, very much in the hands of the GOP Establishment. If they continue on this path, then the responsibility for a complete fracture or conservatives sitting out the 2016 election will be their responsibility.
