I didn’t mention Mitt Romney. I mentioned Ayotte in NH. I am not a Brown fan, but a RINO, be it Brown, Ayotte, McCain, Linseed, Snowe, Collins....is a RINO.
Romney hasn’t a prayer to win in the real world, but neither did RINO McCain...and he didn’t.
That should worry all of us.
Okay, I’ll bite, what is FORCANEE?
Ansel, with all due respect, you are in denial.
McCain is not Palin’s student, and if you don’t know that it’s pointless to discuss this with you. You have thereby proven yourself to be irrational to the point that honest discussion on the matter is futile.
Her endorsement stood until less than a week ago, but because you aren’t able to champion that as a positive, you twist things to make it seem she hasn’t been in contact with him for months, as if that would exonerate her.
Where do you get that pap? And even if you can point to a source, how do you know it’s anything more or less than distancing.
If Sarah wanted to withdraw that endorsement, there was a very willing national press out there, and countless blog sights where it could have been facilitated with ease.
I think she’s still getting advice from him, because to this date, she is still playing by vintage McCain rules he has used for years to garner himself attention.
But one who voted to filibuster the nuclear DISCLOSE ACT that would have destroyed our chances in November, and which Martha Coakley would have wholeheartedly backed.
Considering the margin by which JD lost, one can hardly blame Palin. McCain spent $20 million. JD had a history of being a leader in earmarks when he was in Congress. For many, the “free money” informercial was the last straw.
Had JD lost be less than 5%, Palin might have been the deciding factor, but considering the blowout, her endorsement was hardly a factor.
LOL, you are going all over the place, I know about the endorsement, I haven’t mentioned the endorsement, I don’t care about the endorsement.
I label your claim that McCain is a Palin advisor that is influencing her endorsements as silly. Your claim that she is taking advice from McCain and accepting it on “face value” is absurd.
Both Brown’s reply and his closeness to Romney portend a much deeper love of liberalism than Brown currently admits to having. Sarah probably knows Brown is one of Romney’s backstabbing minions and is against him.
What do you think that $20 million was spent on? It was in no small part spent on airing the Palin spots over and over again right up until before the election.
Saying that those spots had little effect, is like calling McCain stupid for believing his research that they were having a considerable impact on public opinion.
Do you think he was stupid to spend tens of millions on those spots? I don’t. And I’m certainly not going to dismiss their effect.
Look, don’t sit there trying to tell me how bad Hayworth was on several points, when McCain was involved in this.

That just doesn’t compute.
If Hayworth’s actions truly troubled you that much, then you should have been postal after knowing what McCain had been up to.
I don’t have any problem with you supporting Bachman at all. I’m not familiar with Miller enough to comment.
I’m glad you supported Hayworth. I’m glad you supported Bachman.
She didn't "widly" support him. She endorsed him, made two small appearances with him and then stayed away from him and did not campaign for him. Jan Brewer did more campaigning for him then Sarah did. Sarah repaid a debt, something honorable people do.
“I don’t care about the endorsement (of Palin for McCain).”
What a shocker. Never in my wildest dreams...
What event has proven to you that Palin and McCain have broken off relations?
She ran with him. She endorsed him and allowed spots she helped create run for months on end on a number of Arizona airwaves. So what grounds do you have to point to, that would lead us to believe your pipe dream is supportable?
Talk about your face value absurdities...
People! Play some chess, rather than checkers, would you? There will never be a candidate congenial to the average FReeper elected to the Senate from Massachusetts. NEVER. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Scott Brown is delighted to be criticized by Sarah Palin. Sarah is delighted to criticize him. This might well have been arranged beforehand. It really helps Brown buff his independent credentials. Trust the dear lady’s judgment please.
I sent money to Brown knowing he would disappoint me on a third of his votes, but preferring that to being disappointed 100% of the time.
While you are doing all your theatrics, how about posting your evidence that McCain is telling Palin who to endorse nationally.
That would be a major, national, political news story.
We are not THAT conservative any more, I'm sorry to say. We elected Janet Napolitano Governor, didn't we? And we went for Clinton in 1996, to our eternal shame.
JD Hayworth might well have lost if he turned out to be as big a horse's ass as he seems. Love his politics, but the man is a buffoon.
Well stated, Deo et Patria.
Thanks for the ping, La Lydia.
I was asked a question. As one of three or four reasons for Palin doing some of the things she is today, I suggested McCain’s advice might count for part of it.
Since you can’t refute that, I’ll just realize what a dumb ass you are for challenging me on the point.
His advice may or may not have played a factor.
I stated that I thought his advise was a factor and she had given it too much credence. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it.
Here is a woman who thought she owed it to John to endorse him. She had hitched her wagon to him. She did not change her mind. I don’t see any reason to determine she has abandoned him.
You do. Fine. You still don’t have any proof to back up that belief but you feel compelled none the less to demand that it is fact.
I’ll leave it to others to determine how rational that is.
You made a claim that if you could prove it, would be a major national story and would dominate the news , JOHN McCAIN IS CALLING THE SHOTS ON PALIN'S ENDORSEMENTS, it is your silly claim, you prove it.
“Better someone who votes with you most of the time than someone who never votes with you at all.”
Does McCain fall into that category?
Ansel, I am entitled to my own opinion. Even if that opinion is wrong, it is not unreasonable for me to call it as I see it. I know that a freedom fighter like you is having a real problem with that concept, but it’s a legitimate thing for me to have.
I did not claim I could prove it. I have asked you to prove I am wrong if you disagree so stridently, and so far you have refused to produce.
When I respond to someone’s questions, my only obligation is to offer up what my thoughts are on the subject. I am not required to do a lot of research and prove my points beyond a reasonable doubt.
When you state that I am emphatically wrong, then the burden does rest on you to give a valid reason why. Failing that, you look rather dim-witted when you continue to press the case.
I do think McCain still advises Palin. If you wish to refute that, fine. Do so. Give me some basis for saying that I am wrong.
I was not trying to prove a point, when I responded.
Every time you have responded to me, you have stated that I was emphatically wrong. I’m just asking you to back that up. Yours was more than an opinion according to you.
