Governor Palin is “Going Rogue” on us by supporting Juan McPain in spite of conservatives. Will she wear this as a badge of courage, too?

Where is that ‘Oh, not this sh*t, again?’ guy?

Wow, there is a deluge of these threads happening. Oh, yeah. Time to throw Sarah under the bus. She’s blown it! That’s it! It’s all over for Sarah! Pfft. Same crap, different day.

Why are people angry at Palin campaigning for McCain? They seem to have created their own Palin according to their own idea of who a Sarah Palin is. According to this idea, Sarah Palin is 100% principled, anti-RINO conservative and well informed, so she would not have agreed to campaign for McCain. Well, she did agree to be his running mate, didn’t she? Or perhaps she didn’t know about McCain at the time? Then, she probably was not that well informed about national politics. Or, probably she has never been so conservative and anti-RINO as some people project her to be in the first place.

My own take is that Palin is a conservative, but she sees that the way things done is by sometimes making coalition with other people who share at least some part of her beliefs. Returning a favor, putting her in national spot, is another way to see why she agrees to campaign for him.

I, like many here, am torn with this wrong-headed decision to support McLame

I don't think less of her as a person but I am extremely disappointed.

I am hoping against hope that there is not more to this move than simply loyalty to McLame, though he has not always been in the forefront and vocal in defending her when his former advisers where tearing her a new one.

If we were to learn that there was any type of quid pro quo for her campaigning for him, it would drive a wedge between her and her supporters from which I doubt she could recover.

Meanwhile, I'll reserved judgment and let's wait and see how this plays out, especially in light of J.D's announcement yesterday, which could have some impact!

As an aside, does anyone know whether there has been a backlash against Sarah by Conservatives, as in inundating her with emails expressing their displeasure and asking her to reconsider?

I for one has just done so thru her SarahPac Email: info@sarahpac.com

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.

This is really getting tiresome. How many stories in 3 days can be posted about Palin supporting McCain.

1st, it's hilarious that people act shocked that Palin would associate herself with McCain. LOL Yeah, she was only his RUNNING MATE in 2008 and she campaigned and supported him like nobody's business. And now you want to act surprised that if she supported him for President, she's supporting him for the Senate?

2nd, who did JD Hayworth endorse for President in the GOP's 2000 and 2008 primaries? Was it none other than John McCain? Sooo, let's see...McCain is far from being the most conservative candidate in the 2000 and 2008 primaries, yet Hayworth endorsed him. And now, we're all supposed to get our panties in a wad because Palin is supporting McCain. Shouldn't all of you questioning Palin's judgment, be questioning Hayworth's too? And don't give some lame response like "well, Hayworth was just supporting his fellow Arizonian". Well, Sarah is just supporting the man who tapped her Vice President.

3rd, you people now turning on Sarah really didn't know Sarah to begin with. Read her book and learn a little more about her. One thing you will learn is that she is not a hard-core partisan. She wasn't raised that way. Yes, she is a fiscal and social conservative. She also works with and respects people of character, even if they don't see eye-to-eye with her on every issue. She obviously got to know McCain much better than you or I while being vetted for the VP slot and afterward. She considers him an American hero with a lot of integrity. Is it so hard to believe that she would support a guy she knows well and admires?

"LEAVE SARAH ALONE!!!"

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.
