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 Streitzs support of Governor Palin is contingent upon his agreeing with every decision she makes or her selling out her deeply-held values, thats 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. Shes endorsed a despicable traitor because he chose her as his veep.
Palin is so dishonest (or so ignorant) that she didnt even tell the truth about why she endorsed John McLame. She claimed that:
John McCain is on fire to kill Obamas government takeover of healthcare and thats 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:
McCains 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, Ive 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, thats 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 hes not a leader on anything except liberal policies. He doesnt get it. He doesnt understand how to win the Global War on Terrorists, nor does he understand any defense issue or foreign policy issue confronting America now. Ive written several articles pertaining to this guy, demonstrating what McCains specific policies are, and why they are wrong. So Im not going to repeat those entire articles. Let me comment again on McCains policy on the GWOT, though, because thats one specific issue that Palin mentioned.
John McCain does NOT say that America should attack its enemies before they attack America. He also endorsed Obamas 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 doesnt recognize the real nature of the Islamic threat, and hes not prepared to combat it effectively. Anyone who isnt prepared to combat it effectively is a person who doesnt 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 McCains 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, doesnt 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 McCains 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 dont 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; hes 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 hes 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 shes ignorant or because she knows theyre false and decided to lie for McCain, only Palin knows. Regardless of the answer to that question, shes 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 ones 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 whos trying to enrich himself with taxpayers money.
I was a fan of Palin myself. But Im now convinced that shes not a conservative, nor is she a politician qualied for the Presidency of the United States. Shes simply just another RINO endorsing another RINO. No real conservative would ever endorse McCain for the Senate.
I’ve been to just as many Tea Parties as you but..
Ron Paul is a fracking NUT.
No ifs, and, buts, or maybe.
Certifiable.
McDermocrat is 100 times more RINO than Palin. Supporting the traitor is a major blunder. The proof will be in the pudding.
No, just a kook whose presidency would have lead to the elimination of our largest cities.
While you are right and it is true that McCain is anathema to true conservative policies and bi-partisan ad nauseam, can the GOP already behind in seats 59-31 afford to lose even McCain's seat? We don't have the luxury of playing with House money.
This may just be a three-fer on Palin's part. She's demonstrating loyalty ( will then McCain owe her?), may help influence and reign in McCain's pesky "Maverick" side, and help integrate the Republican Party against a bigger threat: Further dominance of an overwhelming Dem superiority.
my sense is McCain is an old dog who isn't interested in learning any new tricks....
You're probably right, but he could be worse - he could be in a Snowe/Collins class.
“If they try to put a wedge between the different supporters, all that will do is give the Democrats power forever.”
Conservatives are acting like spoiled little babies and playing right into the hands of the Liberal Media.
I’m telling you right now...they are going to be stupid, reactionary, politically inept ...as usual and hand the election to ....
Mitt Romney.
It’s Palin or Romney...and the conservatives will divide and be conquered as usual.
No flame here. You weren't alone ;-)
Our Founder himself, and he is right.
And speaking of our illustrious founder, and in this thread.... he said...
Go Sarah!! Damn the naysaying nabobs of negativity!! Full steam ahead!!
“...Most likely, he (McCain) was trying to leave himself maximum wiggle room in all directions. With Palin on board, he has to be careful how he wiggles.”
Ha! Ha! Isn’t that the truth! About all Rino’s...good call.
You need to go to Sarah Palin & criticize HER for complimenting Rep. Paul, not me. She did it knowing full well what she was saying.
Quit using RINO to describe the traitors in the R Party whom we need to expose & kick out of office?
When the term "RINO" no longer turns out to be useful, because many FReepers would apply it to just about every Republican President we have had, including Reagan and including McCain, if he had won with Sarah Palin -- then it's basically a "nothing word" any longer; it just doesn't mean anything.
What means more is simply what a particular position that a candidate takes on a particular bill, when it comes up in the future and what he's going to vote on it. Then you've got something to talk about...
And certainly, I don't think anyone is going to call our illustrious founder of Free Republic a RINO... LOL... so you can see what he says about the "RINO" -- Sarah Palin... :-)
Go Sarah!! Damn the naysaying nabobs of negativity!! Full steam ahead!!
If it’s “certifiable”, can you prove it?
McNitWit has to go. He is the titular head of the Gang of 14 which includes RINOS Yellow Snow, Floozy Collins, and Loafer Grahamnesty. He’s a despicable Democrat ala his “good friend” Ted Kennedy. When McLoser gets booted out of politics, FEAR in the District of Corruption of the FLECTORATE will be a fait accompli.
yeah, just go to youtube and listen to any of his speeches.
LOL...if you want to get more specific...
youtube or google...how he thinks the terrorists came here because we are over there.
911 is our fault dontcha know.
I heard, nor saw, any mention of Ron Paul at the North Texas Tea Parties I attended last year. Not only are his foreign policy views out of the mainstream, but he was there with his hand out for as many earmarks as he could get. Ron likes to call them "tax credits" for his constituents.
Real RINOs raise their hands.
IMO, posting those kinds of photos actually does more harm than good. The woman is beautiful, but this isn't a beauty pageant. Reminds me of that thread where there are daily posts the same kind of photos of Bush.
I don't know about that... I could post pictures of Helen Thomas instead, if that would help... LOL...
Sure, I would be glad to join FRee Republic and tell everyone how bad Sarah Palin is!
I don't necessarily agree with all the Palin bashing. But I do agree it's a big big mistake to campaign for one of the most troublesome bastards in the Senate.
Obviously our illustrious founder doesn't think so... :-)
Go Sarah!! Damn the naysaying nabobs of negativity!! Full steam ahead!!
As Ive pointed out before, posting pictures of Sarah doesnt really make your case.
But, they are nice to look at... much better than Helen Thomas, and I've seen enough of her... (although I did post one picture of her for comparison... LOL...).
Thats sort of what got Obama elected - no one would listen past the image of what he really is.
I don't think our illustrious founder on Free Republic is going on the basis of the pictures... :-)
Go Sarah!! Damn the naysaying nabobs of negativity!! Full steam ahead!!
John McCain=Establishment; Lindseed Graham=Establishment; Rick Perry=Establishment...Sarah? No, she holds no office. Maybe a wannabe. We can call her an associate, for now.
