There comes a time when you have to ask yourself; are you going to be loyal to an issue or are you going to be loyal to the person?
And for Sarah Palin, that time has come.
She needs to decide if she is going to be loyal to the issues important to conservatives in Alaska and the nation, or is she going to be loyal to the person: John McCain.
Some background.
When John McCain won the presidential primary, my first comments on the Anchorage Daily News political blog was a word of warning: Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney would be smart to avoid running as V.P. with McCain.
The reason for the comment was based on how Juan Hernandez, an advisor to McCain, advised McCain on the issue of illegal immigration and how he was instrumental in the gaffe made by McCain when McCain went to Mexico and visited the Shrine of the Virgen de Guadalupe.

That might or might not have any affect, but it certainly would send her a message of our angst over this issue which is certain to divide those of us who will support JD and her and others who will support and actively work for McLame.
That is not to suggest this will be a bridge burning issue, but will certainly create a schism of her most loyal supporters who are bent on ridding Congress of RINO's of which McLame is the poster boy and those who will toe the establishment line--and which I thought Sarah opposed.
So the person calling me a "piece of cr*" is telling me I'M full of hatred!
You're as hilarious as you are hypocritical. Not to mention childish.
Well after resigning from his talk show yesterday, it appears that it is but a matter of formally announcing his intent to run and if so, I predict he will get as much support from us Conservatives as Scott did in Mass., which will give the Corrupt State-Run Media something to gloat over and no doubt give much aid and comfort to the far left nutroots like Huff&PuffPost and DummyUnderground.
Sadly, as we know, anything that Palin does will be scrutinized and twisted by the Leftist Loons more so than anyone else and it saddens me she will be exposed to even more vitriol and attacks as a result of her decision to support McLame.
I only hope that the attacks on her remains from the Left and does not materialize by her supporters and we can support JD and still not demonize her for he misguided decision.
After all, who amongst us have not made poor choices? If push came to shove and I gave it much thought, I could probably come up with 1 or 2 I made over the past 66 years. lol
I feel sorry for Sarah. She’s durned if she does, and durned if she doesn’t. I doubt that she can change her mind now about campaigning for McCain. That would just give the left-wing nut jobs more fuel to add to the fire. Not only would they say she’s a quitter, but, lacks loyalty as well.
Now, if JD, who is more conservative than McCain, does run, she’s going to be labeled a RINO. Oh what a mess!
Catsrus: “None of those states will ever vote for a strict conservative Republican”
How in the world can you know that? Yeah, let’s just write those states off, because they will never vote for a conservative??? Are you omniscient? Didn’t Reagan win a lot of so-called liberal states? Wasn’t he pretty conservative?
What exactly are you saying? Should we back RINOs over conservatives based on your OPINION that conservatives can’t win in the NE? You do know popular OPINION said Coakley was a shoe in, right? Yeah, Scott Brown, a virtual unknown who was touted by Democrats as a far-right tea-bagging fascist, didn’t have a chance, eh?
It was said in truth, not hatred. Get to know the difference, darkone.
Calling someone a "piece of cr*" surely indicates the true level of your lack of intelligence, I don't question that.
Judging from the past few elections, no Republican since Ronald Reagan, has carried the NE. I based my comments on that. The candidates who run as Republicans in the NE, for the most part, are RINO’s. The jury is still out on Scott Brown, but, I seriously doubt if he had been a far-right conservative, that he would’ve been elected.
He is conservative on many issues, but, moderate on others. Yes, Reagan won all states as a conservative, but, we have to remember that Jimmy Carter was one horrible president. Reagan cleaned his clock and used the phrase, “are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?” And, we weren’t. Our military was in shambles, we had high unemployment and double digit interest rates.
Yes, popular opinion had Martha Coakley as a shoe-in. Mainly, because MA is the bluest of blue states and she thought she’d just coast to victory. However, Scott ran a magnificent campaign on the issues that mattered to MA. I think that if obama weren’t such a bad president, Scott probably wouldn’t have won. So, regardless of what the pundits like to say, this was a referendum on obama and his policies.
These are a few reasons upon which I based my comments.
“I for one has just done so...”
You has?

Zing!
LOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Read your OWN posts before questioning ANYONE’s intelligence.
I can understand Palin endorsing McCain for reelection.
Is it a black mark on her record? Sure it is.
Should her supporters, fans and admirers reject her for it? No.
I still hope JD wins.
I should have asked...
Source?
Link?
I agree on all points.
“Home of the Palin bashers and Romney supporters”
LIke this one?
