Paul Streitz has decided to call Sarah Palin by her real name, because she endorsed John McCain (who is trying to win a fifth term as Senator) and said she will campaign for him. Fanatic Palinites, such as the editors of the misnamed „conservatives4palin.com” website (they should rename it „liberals4palin.com”), lambasted him and called him a “backstabber”.
“If Paul Streitz’s support of Governor Palin is contingent upon his agreeing with every decision she makes or her selling out her deeply-held values, that’s unfortunate. While all support is appreciated, the governor has never been for sale. Ask the Alaska establishment, who learned that early in her political career.”
Palin has proven that she IS for sale – if one picks her for veep. She’s endorsed a despicable traitor because he chose her as his veep.
Palin is so dishonest (or so ignorant) that she didn’t even tell the truth about why she endorsed John McLame. She claimed that:
“John McCain is on fire to kill Obama’s government takeover of healthcare and that’s what I want to see.”
Which might be incorrect, because McCain favors the SAME policy on socialized medicine as Obama – he just might vote against this particular Act. McCain favors socialized medicine, as proven by Steven Warshawsky:
“McCain’s campaign website [of 2008 – ZM] demonstrates that his thinking on this issue is much closer to Hillary Clinton than Adam Smith. For example, McCain states that “controlling costs” is his top priority, and that “nothing short of a complete reform of the culture of our health system and the way we pay for it will suffice.” This is a recipe for massive government interference in the health care industry. McCain also supports universal coverage, claiming that “we can and must provide access to health care for all our citizens.” Completing the liberal trifecta, at the January 5 ABC NEWS debate, when Romney criticized McCain for “turn[ing] the pharmaceutical companies into the big bad guys,” McCain replied, “Well, they are.” Plainly, if he were president, McCain would serve as the Democrats’ “useful idiot” for their plan to impose socialized medicine on the nation.”
Also, I’ve heard from a friend that McCain will likely now try to save the socialized medicine bill. So on socialized medicine, McCain and Obama differ only about particular bills, NOT about the merits of socialized medicine itself.
What about the task of protecting the American people? No duty is more important than that one. But on that issue, McCain is also liberal and unreliable. Palin falsely claimed that:
“And his commitment and his leadership on national security to win the war on terror, that’s what we need. (…) national security, he gets it. He understands how to win.”
Palin is flat wrong. McCain is NOT committed to the task of defending the American people, and he’s not a leader on anything except liberal policies. He „doesn’t get it”. He doesn’t understand how to win the Global War on Terrorists, nor does he understand any defense issue or foreign policy issue confronting America now. I’ve written several articles pertaining to this guy, demonstrating what McCain’s specific policies are, and why they are wrong. So I’m not going to repeat those entire articles. Let me comment again on McCain’s policy on the GWOT, though, because that’s one specific issue that Palin mentioned.
John McCain does NOT say that America should attack its enemies before they attack America. He also endorsed Obama’s decision to close Guantanamo, and he opposes “enhanced interrogation techniques”, which are absolutely necessary to gain intel information and protect America.
McCain also buys the PC propaganda about the root causes of the Islamic threat. He believes that these root causes are “poverty, tyranny and despair”, and ignores what terrorists themselves say motivates them: the Quran, which contains several explicit commandments to kill nonbelievers.
In short, McCain doesn’t recognize the real nature of the Islamic threat, and he’s not prepared to combat it effectively. Anyone who isn’t prepared to combat it effectively is a person who doesn’t belong in the Senate. If the GWOT is the most important issue for you, McCain is undisputably the worst possible Senatorial candidate from Arizona.
I did not include McCain’s cretinous, liberal, anti-American policies on foreign policy issues other than the GWOT, even though I could (foreign policy is not limited to the GWOT, although Sarah Palin, as an ignorant person, doesn’t understand that). My articles about McCain refute his idiotic policies, so I just wrote a reply to what Palin explicitly said. She did not comment on McCain’s treasonous policies like nuclear disarmament and the progressive abolition of conventional weapon programs (which are necessary to protect America against China).
The failed 2008 VP candidate also said this about McCain:
“And he is a statesman, and I don’t hesitate at all to say, no.”
Which is not true. McCain is not a statesman; anyone who calls him a statesman insults real statesmen. A genuine statesman fights for the right policies, regardless of ideology; works for his country 24/7; and retires when he should.
McCain has spent the last 9 years promoting destructive liberal policies to punish the GOP for its decision to give Bush the 2000 Republican nomination; he’s been working against the US and for his liberal ideology (together with fellow liberals like Kennedy, Obama, Russ Feingold, and Hillary Clinton); and he has refused to retire – he’s vying for his fifth term as Senator. By comparison, George Washington refused to serve as President for a 3rd term, even though as of 1797, there were no presidential term limits. McCain is running to keep his salary, not to serve the American people, whose opinions are irrelevant for him.
Palin ended her statement thus:
“we do need his leadership, especially on those two fronts: Government takeover of healthcare, he wants to kill it; national security, he gets it. He understands how to win.”
See above. Her claims are false.
Whether she uttered those claims because she’s ignorant or because she knows they’re false and decided to lie for McCain, only Palin knows. Regardless of the answer to that question, she’s not qualified for the Presidency, as she has proven with these statements and other utterances. She embarrasses herself everytime she speaks. Conservatives4palin.com editors claim that she is simply behaving like a loyal person. But one’s own country is supreme to any person and any requirement for loyal individuals. When the choice is “Either the country or the person you should loyally endorse”, a real hero, a real patriot, a real statesman/stateswoman chooses the country, not the person. Palin has endorsed a strident liberal who’s trying to enrich himself with taxpayers’ money.
I was a fan of Palin myself. But I’m now convinced that she’s not a conservative, nor is she a politician qualied for the Presidency of the United States. She’s simply just another RINO endorsing another RINO. No real conservative would ever endorse McCain for the Senate.
Elegant and eloquent.
I think it was Reagan who said something along the lines of it's better to have someone who's 80 percent your ally than to oppose them 100 percent. The way I see it: we're having difficulty calling the 80 percent. It appears there are many who credit an automatic 80 percent by sheer virtue of being registered as Republican -- that all else is minor.
Flinging the accusation of "purist" is a dead-end insult of zero use. I'm told I'm a "purist" for rejecting Romney; I'm tempted to tell anti-Palinites that they're "purists" for rejecting Palin. Both times the accusation is false and destructive.
For me, it kind of boils down to the simple things -- simple being very different from easy, as Reagan wisely observed. Simply -- does the philosophy reflect a commitment to LESS government and more INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY? If so, percentage up. If not, percentage down.
Simply -- does the philosophy reflect the understanding that the environmental global scaremongering strategy toward world socialism is built on a hoax of mathematical proportions and is ludicrous on its face?
Ignorant third-world tribes lacking in standard Western education as derived from modern science are excused, but there's no excuse for any American claiming a standard grade school education. In the timeline of hundreds of millions of years, our worldly existence here has been about one nano-microsecond in the context of a day; therefore it is mathematically absurdly ridiculous to presume trend-telling knowledge of the global climate -- people, a mere 20,000 years ago Florida was twice as big as it is now because the sea levels were so low; a mere 125,000 years ago, Florida was only half the size it is now because the sea levels were so high. 125,000 years is one and a quarter percent of a million years. Turtles and cockroaches go back about 300 million years. God handles the climate; man is along for the ride. EVERYTHING that happens on planet Earth is temporary. EVERYTHING.
So for me, a Republican who gives credence to the hoax that would shackle man for fear of "destroying" nature, an atheist premise at its core, loses a whole lotta percentage points.
Your mileage may vary.
Is that a trend being driven amongst cult-of-personality conservatives —? Quit using RINO to describe the traitors in the R Party whom we need to expose & kick out of office? I see this a lot, and it goes along with a disdain for indie thinking and the motivation and efforts of the honest people in the movement. Tea Party Patriots and Indies are NOT going to go away. We’ll save the sorry as$es of the go-along-getalong crowd in the process, fighting them too in the process.
I used to call them conforming non-conformist, but the concept is the same. Ever see a bunch of Dead Heads at a concert? Their unwritten code of behavior is stricter than any whitebread country club.
You wrote, “We care about their (MSM) opinions, why?
They have the microphones, cameras, air time, and more importantly, the number of them who are in the tank for the libs.
Are you willing to say that all the exposure that the MSM has to influence the general public with their propaganda amounts to nothing?
Did you not see the man on the street interviews with people who voted for Obummer not knowing any of his positions, but only voted for him based on what they had seen and heard about him from the MSM?
Did you vote for McCain or Obama. Sometimes it is about choices ... some of the bad.
“Brown was relegated to RINO status before casting a single vote.”
I can think of worse names to call someone who is pro-abortion!
"As a citizen of Poland (yet)..."
And also this:
"This is the first time I'm publishing a message, so I think I should introduce myself. I'm Zbigniew Mazurak, a 19-year old man. I'm an enemy of the Eurocrats, the Mullahs and the Russians, and I will use this blog to tell you - the readers - about them." ~ (2007)
As a young man from Poland with the right worldview, the young Mr. Mazurak may be out of his element regarding his definition of "RINO."
LOL
Maybe the word "obligation" or "I owe ya" comes to mind?
Or just maybe Palin is savvy enough to be setting the stage to coalesce the spectrum of (R)'s?
Well stated.
This is what happens when people fall in love with a strong & attractive personality. The loved one then can do no wrong and is well aware of it, in this case Sarah Palin, to her fans she is “loyal”, or did not know who McJuan really is, etc; they turn on anyone—including independent thinkers and patriots —who criticizes their girl.
Talking about the points up or down toward the 80 percent: Simply, how much does the philosophy advocate comfortable and confident assumption that the U.S. must aggressively remain the world's top dog in terms of military superiority and readiness on land and in space, to stand as a staunch ally to Israel and the concept of human freedom around the world? Yes, percentage points up. No, percentage points down.
Wrong. I certainly did, & said that I wasn't going to vote for them in 2008, which I didm't. I told folks that said they voted for her that they voted for Juan McCaon, 'cuz HE was the main candidate, not her.
to put it politely, FUBAR.
The fact that you think of that as the reason behind posting the pics tells more about you than it does about Star T.
Then again, you're a Romney fan. Your behavior speaks volulmes about your candidate.
The polls are skewed too since when polled I am sure we say we are discontented with the Repubs and Dems.
I too, wondered why we get no recognition - I think it is because we are an “unknown” element and they are underestimating us. Good. Let them. Once OfA and Acorn get up and running they won't be able to anticipate our moves.
Really.
I hate to say this, but I have to agree with the Romneybot for once.
And I am NOT a Romneybot myself.
