For Baumbach, an ardent Labrador supporter, the visit isn’t so much about Palin’s support of Ward, it’s about her becoming involved in Idaho politics. “I am disgusted by her interference in local elections,” said Baumbach in an e-mail to IdahoReporter.com. “It’s abusing her star power to favor Ward over a man she hasn’t met.”

What a hoot! Betcha he wouldn't have been "disgusted" if she'd endorsed HIS candidate.

That’s unfortunate...

I “they” feel so inclined, then they can suspend me.

Palin-2012

[crazyhorse691]

The media is looking for any story where Palin can be portrayed in a negative manner and here you have a primary battle where Palin endorsed one over the other and the other is pissed...because he didn't get the nod. The claim of Palin interference in a local election is dubious as Ward served as McCain’s Nevada state campaign director in 2008.

Alas, I fear the GOP party elites

Amen

That’s lame to be upset over the McCain endorsement. I would lose respect for her if she didn’t endorse McCain. McCain elevated her to the national stage...it’s just basic decency that she show respect to him.

How about basic decency when it comes to doing what is in the best interest of our Republic? What about showing some respect for our Constitution? In case you somehow missed the memo, Sarah Palin is on the record as saying that she "shares John McCain's vision for America" and you can bet your ass that 'vision' is NOT conservative!

John McCain is a liberal-progressive RINO-POS, just like Carly Fiorina, just like Michael Steele (just to name a few) and Sarah Palin is enabling those dirtbags by choosing to support them when she SHOULD be opposing all that they stand for.

If Palin-supported RINOs are elected, all it will mean is that Comrade 0bama will have more pliable 'cooperators' who will be willing to make deals instead of standing up for conservative principles. THAT will be Sarah Palin's legacy, and it is not one to be proud of.

The bottom line?

Sarah Palin sold out, and is no friend of true conservatives.

This came form a big Palin suppoter who is now lurking...I have not seen anything but lately the Palin Haters are really all over...just my 2 cents Hope not is not that way and RE is the same old fun place to be.

[mkjessup]

**** BUMP **** !!!

Thank you D.O., for posting that hard data, it might be foul tasting medicine to all the Sarah groupies, but they need to take it, not because it tastes good, but because it's good for them and will hopefully wake them up from their self-imposed zombie state.

[Maelstorm]

I thought the same thing. lol

[Gator113]

We share the same hope.

Free, I post infrequently- but at one time, I ran a blog “We Got Sarah.com”-— And respectfully, loyalty should be a 2 way street. Every time MCCain has been asked if he would endorse and support Gov. Palin as Pres. 2012- - he said he couldn’t make that judgment.

Where’s the loyalty? If his VP nominee is not heir apparent, what does that say about his judgment?

IMO, she owes him zippo- and it has always been a mistake on her part, to “play nice” with the globalist, establishment, socialist Washington Pubs [read, Alfalfa dinner].

[Bigtigermike]

This is nuts......Ward is a solid conservative, He is the right choice.... just because he worked on McCain Nevada group doesn’t mean that he is a RINO.....This guy obviously has sour grapes because his guy wasn’t picked by Sarah....who btw, her endorsements are considered gold

For Baumbach, an ardent Labrador supporter, the visit isn’t so much about Palin’s support of Ward, it’s about her becoming involved in Idaho politics.

So here is this idiot who supports Labrador, an unrepentant commie from Puerto Rico, an immigration lawyer, amnesty advocate, anti-American, open borders, Obama sycophant, who is hiding under the (R) label in the conservative state of Idaho, supported by some RINO hacks in the Idaho legislature. To whom should the conservative voters of Idaho listen.

Raul Labrador left Catholicism to become a Mormon. So Labrador has the Ron Paul, and the Mormon vote.

Lucas Baumbach is a Ron Paul groupie and member of Idahoans for Liberty

Raul Labrador Wins! by Lucas Baumbach:
“Idahoans for Liberty, the group that won 24% of the 2008 primary vote for a long-shot candidate, Ron Paul, Ward ignores. Ignoring 24% of the primary electorate is not a good strategy. Ward, although reportedly a graduate of a superior business school, is failing in the numbers department. Labrador has networked at a few Idahoans for Liberty meetings, securing 24%+ for himself just by showing up.”
snip
“The “Paulers,” as the establishment types call the Ron-Paul followers (ie, Idahoans for Liberty), are scoffed at. But, the Paulers are gaining influence.”

I am not happy with a few of her endorsements and Palin can irritate me by her endorsements that aren’t really a necessity, but an anti-Palin rally seems suspicious to me. No need to go over the top.

This is not necessary, just don’t vote for the person she endorses.

[EveningStar]

I wish she would be a little more circumspect with her endorsements and keep her eye on the national picture.

Perhaps Palin is following the recommendations of her party bosses.

[rintense]

If that were true, there would be more than just 2 RINOs on her list of endorsements. Her endorsement list is overwhelmingly conservatives/Tea Party people.

[raybbr]

That’s lame to be upset over the McCain endorsement. I would lose respect for her if she didn’t endorse McCain.

We are in a battle for the future of this country. Her popularity will probably carry a man, progressive McCain, to victory. He IS part of the destruction of the U.S. For her to endorse him is NOT being part of the solution.

[Ted Grant]

Sarah really burns the arses of some ‘autopilot’ types in the GOP. Works for me.

[EveningStar]

Maybe some GOP leaders believe that this is The Year of the Conservative and that’s the way to go.

[ansel12]

It would be nice to learn something about this Idaho race, but it looks like the trolls are going to hijack this thread, to bad.
