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.
Liar
Juan McAmnesty is 100% Democrat. His record at backstabbing Conservatives is well document on FR.
And how are your complaints about McCain going to have any relevance on me supporting Sarah Palin? LOL....
John McCain is a Republican moderate who was the GOP nominated candidate for president in 2008 and with an ACU lifetime rating of 80 for whom the vast majority of Freepers and conservatives voted for just a little over a year ago.
Liar
As if you have anything to say about that one... LOL...
But, that bears no relevance to me supporting Sarah Palin and that's who I intend on continuing to support and will be voting for her in any office that I have a vote in... :-)
“Sarah Palin had best disentangle herself from this Establishment bunch and...”
No offense, but I don’t engage with noobs that attack Palin, unless it’s over substantive issues.
Palin supporting McCain out of political loyalty doesn’t quaalify.
You win.
Go Sarah!! Damn the naysaying nabobs of negativity!! Full steam ahead!!
GO JD! Go Sarah!! It seems a bit of a quandary. Not that you'd have to choose between those two. But only that one could help in the demise of the other and prolong the career of a really bad provocateur.
Next question. Would McLame close Gitmo?
He was doing ok until this part, which is utterly ignorant as well as untruthful.
SarahPAC.com's mission statement proclaims that it adheres to "conservative principles". Last time I checked outright clemency for illegal immigrants, 'McCain-Feingold', and voting against tax cuts are not "conservative principles.
Saying Sarah Palin is loyal may be true but it does not excuse her for treating with contempt those who donated money to her PAC with the assurance that it would be used to promote "conservative principles".
Those who support Palin are using this loyalty tag as an excuse to allay their outrage over this matter.
Palin was well aware that a man who espouses "conservative principles" may very well challenge McCain. She knew of JD Hayworth, and now that he has decided to run McCain has cashed in his 'loyalty chip' and secured Palin to campaign for him.
This entire matter stinks to high heaven, and it smells like duplicity emanating from Arizona, with an apparent willing, accomplice from Wasilla.
Those whom support Palin do her, or the political process, any good by acting like something isn't terribly wrong here. She's a big girl, I'm sure she can handle the criticism.
And if groups such as Conservatives4Palin have any decency and respect they would be fervently urging their members and readers to support the candidacy of JD Hayworth. That is, if "conservative principles" trump their loyalty to Mrs P.
There were two reactions for many of us; To be honest the initial reflex about Palin's support of McCain was nauseousness ;-)
It doesn't seem to nauseate our illustrious founder very much, from what I can see. The support for Sarah Palin is legitimate and is strong and is valid -- here on Free Republic, regardless of what you "nattering nabobs of negativity" say... LOL...
Go Sarah!! Damn the naysaying nabobs of negativity!! Full steam ahead!!
>> In no way does it make her a RINO or automatically disqualifies her if she chooses to run for President.
What if her loyalty belongs to the lesser of two Conservatives for SCOTUS?
ACU - isn't that David (GOProud) Keene's group that has become mythbots and pedophile pushers?
Check post 348. McDemocrat is a phony.
It's workingggggg........
Funny how all the folks around here have been blasting the MSM over the past few years (if not more) for driving an agenda but yet fall in line for the "agenda".........
In the words of P.T. Barnum, "There's a sucker born every minute" and boy, does the MSM know who they are.............
Such a perfect pearl that it deserves to be posted again.
We're not exactly playing with House money, are we?
I'd prefer McCain to bite dust, literally and figuratively, but is JD up to it? Then would he beat the Dem challenger?
Like it or not we're dealing with a real live numbers game here if we're wrong. It was much easier to ride Brown in against a nasty Leftist witch in Mass, but it we can't thin the RINO herd without insurance and assurance.
[... yeah, because then you would never have the garbage that "is passing now" -- passing at all, in a "bipartisan" manner... LOL..., some people here "just don't get it"... :-) ...]
I am definitely a Palinista that is pulling for JD this year!
She has properly “triangulated” in regards to McCain and I wish her well in those fundraisers. I don’t believe her support makes a difference either way as this election is going to be about immigration reform and Juan’s innate ability to get slapped from across the aisle.
My only concern is that the state of AZ is not quite as disenchanted with McLame as the rest of the country.
LOL! It is truly a work of art to watch. (and so many posts!) Let them be as the left is seriously in need of major meds now.
