If Sarah intends to run in 2012 she’s lost my vote in the primary. She walked and talked a good game up to this point but this is a major mistake to support King RINO and his 30 million illegal amigos.
I agree.
I know we won’t be duped by him but moderates and RINO’s will too easily jump on his bandwagen again.
John McCain should retire or be relegated to a minor role in the Senate. He doesn’t get the mood of the country anymore than the President does.

Sorry, meant to reply to the OP.
Thank you, Michelle Malkin!!
Well folks, if anybody is going to be able to stop McCain and his big-money boys, it will have to be US.
Not to mention his loopy wife and daughter, his pocket puppet, Lindsay Graham and his poisonous assortment of paid political advisers and henchmen. McCain and his tribe need to be voted off the beltway.
This is a great summary of where we are and we must not let the Rinos think that just because we supported Rino Brown to kill health care that we support the other rinos and their leftist agenda, too.
It would help Brown to understand that the voters mean business about freedom and cutting the size of government as he watches his “powerful” pal McCain put out to pasture.
I understand Palin’s “rock and a hard place.” It is too bad her first National exposure and experience came with McLame. Until the tea party movement, we sure did not see McCain and his witchey women out front defending Sarah and her family when the feeding frenzy of John’s pals was going on. Oh well. Spilt milk and all that.
Will FR be excited about defeating McCain in the primary?
Hayworth might be running and I assume that FR will be supporting him if he does.
Chris Simcox is running. Will FR support him if Hayworth doesn’t run?

The guy who claims to have pulled McCain out of the jaws of defeat in 2008 is FRED MALEK. Fred, according to some on FR, is now leading Palin on her path. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2434882/posts?page=22#22
This guy is NOTHING for conservatives to be proud of.
OP kingmaker leans toward Mitt Romney
5/19/09
Fred Malek, a heavyweight Republican fundraiser and kingmaker, has singled out former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney as the GOP’s leading contender in the early stages of the 2012 Republican presidential derby.
In a largely unnoticed post to his blog late last week, Malek, a wealthy businessman who served as national finance co-chair of John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, ranked Romney No. 1 on a list of influential Republicans “who might both lead our party back and who might be our nominee in 2012.”
Malek, who did not return an email requesting comment from POLITICO, blogged that Romney has “the established organization, fundraising network, time, and talent to get the nomination this time” and predicted he could “be in the best position when the serious campaigning begins in early 2011.”

Mr. Malek writes:
Whether you loved or hated John’s position in the Immigration debate, his actions that June exhibited the quintessential get-in-the-middle, role up your sleeves, bi-partisan leadership that has marked his service to our country. Unfortunately, at the time, much of the Republican base did not see this leadership as a positive attribute. As a result, the fundraising well dried up, and it could not have come at a worse time.

Similar questions may have been raised after a recent column [”Fred Malek, Then and Now,” Feb. 4] that recounted Malek’s abuse of the public trust and public servants during the Nixon years and his role in carrying out Richard Nixon’s disgusting hunt for Jews in the Bureau of Labor Statistics. He was only in his thirties at the time, his friends say in his defense.
Is there a continuum of behavior whose parts cannot be separated from the whole Malek?
There was the dog killing in Peoria in the ‘50s, the Senate Watergate Committee in the ‘70s, the doomed nomination to be a governor of the U.S. Postal Service in the ‘80s, and now the Securities and Exchange Commission action in 2004.
Yes, Malek vs. the federal government two years ago.
Fred Malek and his company, for their failure to disclose to the pension fund (and pensioners) the side deal to retain and pay DiBella nearly $375,000 — and without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings — consented to the issuance of a cease-and-desist order censuring him and his company. Malek’s company was ordered to pay a civil penalty of $150,000, and he was personally made to pay a civil penalty of $100,000.
That wasn’t ancient history or a youthful indiscretion. The year: 2004. Malek was 67 years old. [snip]

I agree. What happened to Conservative Principles Sarah ? McCain did not even resemble a Conservative till this election cycle. Now, to have a Conservative Standard candle (Sarah) come out in support of one of the GOP’s biggest RINO”s ? Wow, to say i am confused would be a understatement.
“Chris Simcox is running. Will FR support him if Hayworth doesn’t run?”
Not me. Not anyone who really knows the guy. All he will do is screw this race up and keep McCain in. Just like he screwed up the entire minuteman movement. There are better candidates in Arizona.
If McCain had a sense of honor, he'd respectfully refuse her support in his primary bid. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening.
