Quit trying to make everyone agree with your politics. Ain’t never gonna happen, and the ridiculous demand that we all must think alike will keep the Dems in power if we don’t stop the infighting.

Fight it out through the primary, then unite in November, and quit demonizing folks who don’t back your candidate.

[my small voice]

She harmed herself on this point. I agree with you. Taints her unfortunately.

“Please revoke your support for John McCain and back J.D. in Arizona. I say this as perhaps one of your biggest supporters in the world. Your support of senator McCain is making any Palin supporters’ life just flat out miserable on the web. It is giving some sick, twisted and misguided people a tool to divide conservatives.”

Palin is diving us all by her self, don’t put the blame on those who don’t like her McCain pandering and approval of TARP, ‘path to legalization’ and every other boneheaded idea he’s come up with.

BTW, hell will freeze over before she sides with the US citizen over John McCain. She’s proven that.

[deport]

You can’t help but beat this dead horse, can you? If you’d leave it along I suspect there would a lot less post knocking the woman. How many ego building vanities have you started on this subject?

[Dr. Sivana]

I wish she had stayed neutral or said nice things about both of them. But she didn't.

This is still pre-season. When the regular season begins, and folks are starin' at Romney (RomneyCare), "Open Door" Huckabee, the less than compellin' Pawlenty, and three or four others who just want to be VEEP or practice for 2016 or 2020 on real ballots, then it will matter. For now, let people vent. Palin picks up on it. She has unusually keen political intuition and doesn't surround herself with too many layers.

[Daveinyork]

Thus the danger of placing anyone, especially a politician on a pedestal. Sooner or later, she will fall off and disappoint you. Support her, as I do, but keep your eyes open.

[Retired Greyhound]

I’m not sure it would be a good move at this point.

It would have been best if she had not endorsed either McCain or Hayworth.

[death2tyrants]

Your support of senator McCain is making any Palin supporters' life just flat out miserable on the web.

Yeah, I have trouble sleeping at night because a bunch of 3'rd party anarchists and left wing trolls don't support Palin.

[FrankR]

Do like Sarah herself does...ignore them and full speed ahead.

Once the left has anything they think will get them mileage, they harp on it infinitum...looking for a reaction.. They love to throw things against the wall and see what sticks. Become Teflon...don't let it stick in your craw.

Each of us has to make up their own mind as to any reason why, or why not, Sarah's choices are valid or invalid. If I see her as still the best thing we've got going, a liberal, RINO, Romney supporter...whomever...is not going to change my mind by bellyaching about her support to McCain't.

If that starts happening, we become the same flock of sheep as the democrats, waiting for the lead sheep to turn before we do. Conservatives are suppose to be independent thinkers and figure things out for themselves, not like the "groupthink" left to can't pour milk on their cereal in the mornings without checking the fax machine for the daily democrat talking points.

So far, she has experience, leadership, gravitas, and the peoples' confidence; assuming all continues as it is, she will make a viable candidate for office...IF...she does, in fact, decide to run.

If her ties with McCain't would affect any vote you might have for her, then that is your individual decision based on your individual logic...more power to you.

However, she continues to have my support.

[Responsibility2nd]

Puh-lease.

YOU are the biggest anti-Sarah troll here on Free Republic.

The things you say and do are an embarrassment for Sarah. Yet you say you support her?

[roses of sharon]

Ohio...I know you are passionate, but those here who support another candidate, are really Dems, or just don't like her...do not need to use disagreeable endorsements as an excuse to not support her.

If she had endorsed JD, they still would find other things to criticize about, because we all disagree with our candidate from time to time...it just depends on how much we like them in the first place.

So relax, if she runs, the primary will sort it out.

[humblegunner]

Please revoke your support for John McCain and back J.D. in Arizona.

You forgot to offer the money.

She speaks for money. How much you got?

[OldNavyVet]

If Palin asks for your opinion, give it. Otherwise, Leave her alone. It is not a perfect world,

[Jim Noble]

Then get a real one.

[jnsun]

Ohio youngster, please tell us here exactly what a "conservative" is, as a matter of issues, and as a matter of ideology, to see if I/we can consider you grown-up enough to understand life beyond the shallowness of politics.

Personally I'm not totally convinced that, similar to George W. Bush, Sarah Palin is. Personally likable of course, but...

Barack Obama was personally likable, but...

Governor Palin would NEVER forsake John McCain, what others see as misguided loyalty, she’d view as integrity. She’ll never dump McCain, not ever -— not even the adolescent antics of ‘Mega’ McCain can deter Sarah, how much less so a buncha anonymous posters at online chatboards.

[FreeReign]

Sarah isn't perfect, don't start begging perfection from her.

Move on.

[Smokin' Joe]

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

If she supports Mc Cain, people will see her as a RINO, even though you can look at her record and decide for yourself.

If she did not support McCain, the guy who in the eyes of many catapulted her into the national political arena, she might be seen as one without loyalty, even though Juan might not deserve it on his issues stances.

If she can't be loyal to one who people perceive as getting her where she is, people would not see her as capable of being loyal to the electorate, either, and she would join the ranks of the self-serving politicians in the back of everyone's mind.

If the voters of Arizona thake a good look at their alternatives for Senate, with the political climate there, one would hope they'd make the right decision no matter who is backing who.

Does Sarah lose in the political claculus of the situation? Maybe, maybe not. She will ultimately rise of fall based on her positions on the issues, not McCain's. She is still free to disagree with him on those, despite stumping for him.

[pissant]

Aren’t you gonna do one of these. I’m confident that it would at least be logically based and more interesting than the others’ efforts here.

[CharlesWayneCT]

If Palin would give in to the political pressure on the McCain endorsement, she would destroy her reputation as a maverick who doesn’t pay attention to political pressures.
