Yes, Sarah Palin is a RINO.
The Reality Check ^ | 2010-01-23 | Zbigniew Mazurak

Posted on 01/23/2010 10:19:54 AM PST by rabscuttle385

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.

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.

"If she does value and respect McCain, then I'd have to question the soundness of her judgment. He's been a major enabler of some very bad policies, leaning across the aisle to work with Senator Ted, others, on some very bad legislation. He preens about his "bi-partisan spirit"; but it's all vanity."

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.

I'll get flamed plenty for this, but truthfully - in my heart - I voted for the McCain/Palin ticket hoping that McCain would die early into the term & she could step in as president.

No flame here. You weren't alone ;-)

“...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!!

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.

I’m sorry to disappoint you, but Rep. Paul is well respected in the Tea Party movement, whether you like it or not.

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.

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... :-)

Well, I will say that Paul supporters have more a presence in the Tea Party than the Republican Party, but I certainly wouldn't say he is well respected. In fact one of the dangers with the Tea Party movement right now is that too many of the most influential members are Ron Paul followers even though most members do not support him. Many members complain about how RINOs who do not represent them have taken over the GOP, but they are letting Paulbots do the same with the Tea Party movement.

As to Sarah's compliments of Ron Paul, well, he does have some good ideas so it was probably those which she was commenting on not his crazy foreign policy.

As I’ve pointed out before, posting pictures of Sarah doesn’t 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...).


That’s 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... :-)

Pres. Reagan was a long time ago. Did you think he was still in office? The times were different--very much so. You know , you folks trying so hard to erase "RINO" from conservative vocabulary, how about 'Establishment"? I like it much better, how about you, Star?

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.
