Willie forever .... John McQueeg never!

So yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of how people are bashing Sarah Palin over her endorsement of McCain.
We all know why she's doing it and she has my complete respect and support.
So, anyway, conservatives are fighting amongst each other over this and it really is pathetic! On Sarah's Facebook page, people keep lamenting, whining and moaning over it, and I kept calmly trying to calm them down, but they wouldn't listen. Finally, I lost it and said:
"FOR GOD'S SAKE, PEOPLE, PULL YOURSELVES TOGETHER!!!!! THIS IS NOT HOW A GROUP OF PATRIOTS ACTS!!!!!!!!
SERIOUSLY, DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE 100% PERFECT IN YOUR EYES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE A VIABLE CANDIDATE???? LAST TIME I CHECKED, NO ONE IS!
SARAH PALIN IS THE BEST CHANCE WE HAVE TO UNSEAT OBAMA AND HIS FASCIST REGIME AND YOU'RE ALL HERE TOO BUSY ARGUING ABOUT ONE ENDORSEMENT!!!!!!!! THAT IS PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!
WE HAVE TO BE 100% UNITED IN ORDER TO DEFEAT THE SOCIALISTS!!!!!!! STOP GETTING INTO STUPID PETTY FIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SARAH ENDORSED MCCAIN! OK, DONE, NEXT ISSUE, PLEASE!!!!!!!"
I'm no military guy, but I do know that in a battle, you need to have a UNITED FRONT and petty arguments like this are dividing the front!
It is obvious that Sarah Palin is the only one who can defeat Obama and that we need to be united around her!
“Patriots don’t support McCain and his McAmnesty. If MCCain had turned Sarah loose during the election Obama wouldn’t have been president.”

You’re right. There is thread after thread at that time from all of us wishing she hadn’t been under his thumb. People forget how treacherous he was...not to the opposition, to his base.
McCain disavows radio host who insulted Obama (no insults, just facts, but McCain DID insult Cunningham, who was supporting him.)
Republican John McCain quickly denounced the comments of a radio talk show host who while warming up a campaign crowd referred repeatedly to Barack Hussein Obama and called the Democratic presidential candidate a “hack, Chicago-style” politician.
“Now we have a hack, Chicago-style Daley politician who is picturing himself as change. When he gets done with you, all you’re going to have in your pocket is change,” Cunningham said as the audience laughed.
The time will come, Cunningham added, when the liberal-leaning media will “peel the bark off Barack Hussein Obama” and tell the truth about his relationship with indicted fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko and how Obama got “sweetheart deals” in Chicago.
McCain wasn’t on stage or, he says, in the building when Cunningham made the comments, but he quickly distanced himself from the radio talk show host after finishing his speech. McCain spoke to a couple hundred people at Memorial Hall in downtown Cincinnati.
“I apologize for it,” the Arizona senator told reporters, addressing the issue before they had a chance to ask about Cunningham’s comments.
“I did not know about these remarks, but I take responsibility for them. I repudiate them,” he said. “My entire campaign I have treated Senator Obama and Senator (Hillary Rodham) Clinton with respect. I will continue to do that throughout this campaign.”
McCain called both Democrats “honorable Americans” and said, “I want to dissociate myself with any disparaging remarks that may have been said about them.”
Asked whether the use of Obama’s middle name — the same as former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein — is proper,
McCain said: “No, it is not. Any comment that is disparaging of either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama is totally inappropriate.”
McCain said he didn’t know who allowed Cunningham to speak but said he was sure it was in coordination with his campaign. He said he didn’t hear the comments and has never met Cunningham, but “I will certainly make sure that nothing like that happens again.”
Later, on his radio show, Cunningham expressed disappointment with McCain’s apology and said he would endorse Clinton as a result.
“Did John McCain repudiate me? When he didn’t hear the remarks at all? He just threw me under the bus to the national media,” Cunningham said on local radio station WLW.
Cunningham also disputed McCain’s assertion that the two had never met.[snip]Feb. 27, 2008

McCain apology angers conservative host

Some great posts, btw. This one works, #13
“McCain thinks he’ll gain support of the media by denouncing conservatives. Come election day, he’ll have the support of neither.”
“and getting all the flak from those conservatives who think basketball is a complex strategy game. “
Having principles just means we’re intellectually inferior to all you moderates, I guess.
.
“You base this on what?”
.
On listening to her speak, reading her many op-eds, and facebook postings, and on the revelations of her book.
She has her finger on the pulse of what makes America what it is.
.
.
“ If the meaning of this has to be explained over and over, then the people of this country are probably too stupid to survive.”
.
And you’ve breached my own fears with that statement!
.
“She has her finger on the pulse of what makes America what it is.”
Except when it comes to John McCain. I’m happy some of you can reconcile that dichotomy, but I can’t.
I like Sarah too. I just don’t think that she’s presidential material.
McCain’s numbers were dropping like a rock in late 2009, so he asked Palin to help him out, in return for him becoming more conservative so he wouldn’t be such an embarassment to Republicans everywhere.

Are you saying that Sarah put conditions on McCain (him the longtime Senator and pres candidate, she the almost complete unknown) before she would agree, and that those conditions were that he become more conservative?
Can you document that?
.
Politically naive is the term for those that can’t grasp the things that a serious candidate has to do to hold it all together.
Had she not endorsed him there would have been far more hell to pay form sources that have more horsepower than the PN ankle biters here.
.
“On listening to her speak, reading her many op-eds, and facebook postings, and on the revelations of her book.”
Like that “respect” for McCain.
“She has her finger on the pulse of what makes America what it is.”
Amnesty and cap-n-trade?
“Politically naive is the term for those that can’t grasp the things that a serious candidate has to do to hold it all together.”
Apparently, to be considered a “serious candidate”, one has to support traitors.
“Politically venal” is the term for those who can’t comprehend the concept of principle and favor party politics.
.
You’ve proven what you are.
.
Willie forever .... John McQueeg never!
“You’ve proven what you are.”
Yes. Someone with principles who doesn’t appreciate being told to blindly support and excuse those who aid the enemy and then talked down to for pointing it out.
And by that criteria, all on that list are not viable.
I'd vote for Palin in a heartbeat.
Come elction time I'd vote for ANYONE who shares an iota more in common with what I believe than the person they're running against. Whats the alternative?
I'll tell you one thing I will not do - I won't genuflect to any person, I won't carry politician's water, I will not depend upon another leader again. I will view each & every representative of mine with a jaundiced eye expecting them at any minute to let me down. Because they always have and always will. Palin will too.
And then we should chuck her out, fast & hard. Its the American peoples job to protect this republic, to safeguard our liberties. What made us think we could ever leave the responsibility to protect something so precious and rare in some other persons hands?
Not directing this to you, just some random thoughts.
If she need to win in 2012 she needs to appeal to the independents and lose the RightWing Crazy image. There are two ways to do this.
1. She can move her policies to the left, which won't stop the MSM labelling her RWC.
or
2. She can make a minor personal gesture to a friend, which will make no real difference, but gets Native American Party faction publically attacking her.

I find it interesting that Palin's piece about her support for McCain is posted on of the few sites that are not allowed on FR.

I have been reading this thread with great interest and look forward to meadsjn’s answer to your question.
