You haven’t ventured much beyond sophomoric name calling, but you’re calling someone else a pinhead? That’s rich.
If Palin’s purpose was to recognize McCain for bringing her into the national spotlight, she could have issued a Press Release thanking him for doing that, and gracefully declining his request for an endorsement that is inconsistent with the political positions she has very publicly staked out in the months since the election loss in November 2008.
The TEA Party organization should not have invited a McCain endorser to speak. It is a dangerous compromise of publicly stated positions by the organization.
You’ve given me utterly no reason to treat you with anything other than scorn, quite frankly. So you may have one last opportunity to further make a complete fool of yourself.
A nice press release saying he’d continue to make a fine Senator would have been plenty. Claiming that McCain somehow embodies the tea party movement is just an insult to any thinking citizen.
I like Palin too and was a big backer of hers over the last year. But while the writer of this piece is obviously a rude and obnoxious snot, I don’t think it would hurt to take a hard look at Palin’s actions—such as her saying this week there’s no daylight between Mccain’s immigration position and hers—before putting all our Obama-opposition eggs in her basket. Seems to me like she had an impressive record of accomplishment while she was governor, but it wouldn’t hurt to examine her record a little more closely. For example, was that her good-government ethics legislation that the Dems were able to get her all knotted up in? I’ve read that she was actually considered a moderate when governing in Alaska and it would be interesting to understand a little better why some have had that opinion of her.
What I want is someone who really will stick to shrinking the role of the government and says forthrightly that’s what we should do—but comes across as serious, intelligent and thoughtful when making the case.
