CQPolitics ^

Posted on 08/28/2009 5:07:24 PM PDT by Falcon28

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's SarahPAC has donated money to the campaigns of Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Orrin Hatch of Utah, as well as to Republican Ohio Senate candidate Rob Portman, according to a Friday filing with the Federal Election Commission.

The exact amounts of the contributions were not reported, but Palin had to list the names of candidates she had financially supported to make SarahPAC a bona fide political action committee.

Her contributions to Arizona Sen. John McCain, for whom she served as a running mate in the 2008 presidential campaign, and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski had been reported in a previous filings

Palin supports RINO. Big shame. True conservatives need to rally around Mike Huckabee. He’s a real conservative. Huckabee did a fundraiser for Marco Rubio. Also Jim Gilchrist, co-founder of the Minutemen, endorsed Huckabee during the 2008 primary. This is proof that Huckabee is conservative.

You are kidding, right? Is this a joke? Huckabee's the one who handed out school scholarships to illegals in Arkansas. He has his strengths, but he governed as a MAJOR RINO in Arkansas and is credited with single-handedly destroying the GOP in Arkansas.

Your support of Huckabee over Palin is the BIG SHAME.

Take care of yourself with your lies and trashing of Palin.
If those who lie and trash can’t take the heat, then you better get use to it.

I only want a Rino where there is no possibility of a real conservative winning, but if you think you will have a real conservative win in urban Philadelphia anytime soon, you are living in a dream world.

We need RINOs without power just to displace Dems, I am all for that. Block them from power anyway we can, aren’t you?

Or are you in the camp of if it can’t be a Conservative it should be a Dem so there isn’t any brand confusion? I can sympathize if this is the case, I am right on the line.

No. Huckabee was a big cap-and-trade supporter.

Also Jim Gilchrist, co-founder of the Minutemen, endorsed Huckabee during the 2008 primary. This is proof that Huckabee is conservative.

No, it's not.

All it is is proof that someone believes Huck to be conservative. Nothing more.

If he were “perfect” he would be Duncan Hunter, but there’s only one Duncan Hunter.

Whatever Duncan is, he is not a vote getter. At least not for President.

We center at the end of the day must be with Conservatives and we need to ensure that Rinos have no real power no matter how long they have been in the Senate or the House.

So you want to make RINOs powerless by voting them into office and thus giving them power?

WTH sort of strategery is that?

Rinos get support for one reason and one reason only, to kill a Democratic seat that would be a slave to that liberial creature referred to as the “Polosi”

Would that be before or after the RINO pulls a Specter?

So all you have to offer to the conversation is name calling? Stay classy. When you are ready to act like an “adult” and debate someone without the childish name-calling - give me a buzz.

In that case, I doubt you'll get a reply.

SoCalPol usually only starts name-calling and trash-talking because she is either unable or unwilling to actually challenge you using reason and rationality.

Either it's her way or the high way!

The good news is my donations to SarahPac were not part of the contribution to Graham. She’s holding my money for the Rubio’s, Perry’s, Tarkanian’s, Vaughn Ward’s, et al of the party.
Whew...I was almost pissed.

Good grief. So now I am a “liar who can't take the heat?” Maybe someday we'll have a conservation with civil discourse.

“My guess is that all these guys have contributed to her PAC and she is returning their money, so that she is not beholden to them. If she truly is endorsing any of these candidate she would have issued a statement either through SarahPAC, her facebook page or an official press release.

I’m curious to see how many here will take the bait.”

Bait...pretty good bait when she’s the one writing the check.
If she’s making a payback, let’s see where they gave her money, it should be listed somewhere. Or she could just say SO. I WANT to see her disagree with Graham, McCain, Hatch, et al. on several subjects. And why does she have to return it ? Who does that?

Reagan campaigned hard for Pete Wilson in CA in 1982. He also had Richard Schweiker as his VP choice in 1976.

And George "voodoo economics" Bush as his 1980 running mate.

She has only ENDORSED Rick Perry(Who I like a lot). Her father and father in Law are campaigning in Idaho for Vaughn Ward, and they already endorsed Tarkanian and will campaign for him too

Crist is unquestionably a RINO disaster—and Rubio the better choice.

But lots of political backers of amnesty say they’ll never back it and aren’t backing it by claiming that whatever form its in, that’s not what it is. And Rubio is known for tsk-tsking those who oppose illegal immigration because of the ‘tone’ they are using. I think his record and prior statements draw a pretty clear picture.

I understand that information is in the filings to the SEC.

Besides, what is point of her going after Graham et al. if she is engaging 0? I’m sure rats would love for her to go after other Republicans, be they rinos or whatever.

As for giving their money back, why not? What exactly do you have against that?

“Sometimes a Rino is the best thing you are going to get, get used it it.

We center at the end of the day must be with Conservatives and we need to ensure that Rinos have no real power no matter how long they have been in the Senate or the House.
____________
What you’re suggesting is precisely what has the Republican party in the position it’s in today, nothing more than “Democrat Party Lite” in my view.”
__________________________________________________

Exactly! There is only a handful of real conservatives left in Congress. The majority of this country disagrees with the majority of our elected officials. We have no representation, yet some keep insisting we elect more RINO’s! It’s the old ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing’ scenario...how many times are we supposed to fall for that?

I would just like to see Rubio get in front of a camera and explain very clearly what happened with those bills while they were still in committee. The onus is on him to clear up the confusion.

Okay, that’s a nice little tease sentence. WHY won’t she come out on this issue, she’s not afraid to go on and on for paragraphs about other things.

I’m not above using a RINO where we have to. It makes sense to me. They are of some value—a RAT has no value.
