Palin attends Republican fundraising dinner in Alabama. The main course? The hand that once fed her.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin offered plenty of red-meat attacks on President Barack Obama during an appearance at the Baldwin County Republican Party’s annual fundraising dinner Friday, but she did not spare her own party.

Palin, who rocketed to political stardom after presidential candidate John McCain tapped her as his running mate in 2008, expressed nearly as much exasperation with the GOP establishment as she did with Democrats.

She referenced her own upbringing in an Alaskan hunting family in declaring that she would fight politicians that conservatives deride as “Republicans in Name Only” during intra-party squabbles.

“I’m not afraid at all to go on a little RINO hunt,” she said.

You ever meet somebody who is constantly complaining about how crappy their life is, but when you hear them talking about it right away you recognize that everything bad that happens to them is a self inflicted wound?

That's what the Republican party has become.

They are the girl that hooks up with a guy, forgets to use birth control, and then complains that she got knocked up and the guy up and disappeared.

Or the guy that gets pulled over while driving home after drinking shots all night, because he "doesn't live very far from here."

Or the national political party that thinks they can rile up the most fringe part of their base in order to win elections, without that fringe suddenly turning on them and trying to replace them with lunatics just like them. Oh wait, that's EXACTLY like the Republican party.

And these local idiots continue to be unaware that they are dealing with the devil who is working toward their destruction.

Case in point:

Turning serious, Palin questioned the commitment of some Republicans to repealing the Affordable Care Act, Obama’s signature legislative achievement.

“They’re giving a lot of lip service to it, but it’s not happening,” she said.

The reason, Palin suggested, is that some Republicans have concluded they are better off raising campaign contributions off of the issue and leaving the law alone. She said too few Republicans in Congress supported efforts by Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Mike Lee, R-Utah, to shut down the federal government in order to force the defunding of the health reform law.

“They left some of our guys out there alone,” she said. “Worse than that, they joined the lapdog media” in condemning Lee and Cruz.

Palin urged Republicans to “send reinforcements” to help tea party Republicans in Congress. She paraphrased a famous Obama quote in crediting the tea party for engineering the Republican takeover of the House in 2010.

“Republican establishment, you didn’t build that – the tea party did that,” she said.

One has to wonder if ever, in their wildest dreams, the McCain campaign could have realized that their ignorant little VP choice from the wilds of Wasilla, would someday help to found a movement that would elect subversive representatives, who would attack the party from within, while working to usher in the demise of its national relevancy?

You know, somehow I doubt it.

You know in the book Victor Von Frankenstein chased his monster all the way to the frozen north in an attempt to destroy it. In the end the pursuit took his life instead.

Perhaps the Republican party will be more successful.
