Why does Sarah Palin support a RINO?
FOX News ^ | 02222010 | foxnews

Posted on 02/22/2010 7:33:59 AM PST by TheDailyChange

I just heard Martha McCallum on FOX News interview JD Hayworth who is running against (RINO) John McCain in Arizona. Martha said that Sarah Palin will be in Arizona throwing her support behind John McCain in a few months in an effort to defeat conservative JD Hayworth. Is this all about GRATITUDE? Does Sarah feel if it were not for John McCain picking her for the VP position that she would not be in this position today. And what does this say about Sarah Palin and politics in general? Has anything REALLY CHANGED?

>>>>plucking me out of obscurity and putting me on the national stage.

Care to explain how Obozo got plucked out of obscurity to become president?

Perhaps she doesn’t consider him a RINO, or she doesn’t feel the same way about it as you do?

She may not consider him a RINO but millions of Americans absolutely do. If she does not consider McCain a RINO, there is a problem in denmark folks, bigtime!

I like Sarah, but there is really no excuse for this. McCain’s people dissed Sarah... blamed her for McCain’s loss. She owes McCain nothing. She is making a big mistake in supporting him against a true conservative. Enough of a mistake to cost her the nomination? We’ll see.

Personally, it would have hurt my opinion of her had she endorsed Hayworth ... and I say this under the understanding that Hayworth is the better candidate.

Among Palin’s biggest selling points is that she is, or at least appears to be, a genuinely good person. Why would I expect a person that backstabbed her former running-mate to do any less to her constituents?

Her endorsement was the correct one ... and is noncontroversial to most people.

Yes she is being loyal to him. But folks think what the media would do if she didn’t back McCain? They would love it and it would be yet another media slam fest. she is just playing politics.

Perfection does not exist. Nothing in this world is 100% all the time. Its like judging a gorgeous woman and saying she is a 10. There are no 10’s, there is always a flaw. Let this instance play itself out. There may be more here than meets the eye.

She is entitled to her own opinion, right?

Sarah is in a no-win position on this.

The media and those that love to trash her at FR are all set to criticize her if: 1) she supports McCain because he's a RINO, 2) Doesn't support McCain (she's disloyal), 3) if they don't like her hairstyle today, or 4) if Piper gets a B in math (Sarah's a bad mom).

The only reason mccain in looking conservative this year is because he is up for re-election. Watch what they do, not what they say.

These politicians for life are the main reason we need term limits in Congress. If it’s a good thing to term limit the President then it most likely is a good thing to term limit the Senators/Representatives.

Palin is smoozing her way towards 2012 so that if she decides to jump into the primary she’ll have cut no ties to impede her chances. jmo.

Because her first loyalty is not to the U.S. Constitution.

And in my opinion, JD is not the answer.

The msm is laying low on attacking JD. If he wins the primary you can count on the media unloading on him...big time.

“....the man that jumpstarted her national political career.”

.
Will she even have a political career after the dust settles?

You have to save a dance for the person who brought you. This is a situation where she is damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t.

In that case, Sarah should step down hard on McCain's instep with those spiked high heels, 'oops, sorry John!'.
