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'm just curious because all I've seen you post are articles bashing McCain, Palin, and Brown.
YOU: "I have no idea... you might want to ask the people who post these threads, though.... LOL..."
But hasn't that been your quibble on this thread with me?
You're right - you haven't any idea or else you'd have been re-directing your animus to those you blame for you own misunderstandings.
Good day, Madame Traveler.
Actually, rabs has a long, distinguised, and in my opinion admirable record of helping expose Mitt Romney for the fraud he is. Just FYI.
It ain’t rocket science. I like JD much better than McCain and Sarah better than either, so I’ll support JD to defeat McCain in 2010 and Sarah to defeat Romney, et al in 2012 should she decide to run.

Typical of the so-called "conservatives" who are so pure and so far-"somewhere" -- that they end up meeting far left liberals on the backside, butt-to-butt (but, of course, not "face-to-face")... LOL...
Liberals are laughing all the way to the political bank...
In my estimation, it’s personal obligation for Palin - a gesture of gratitude - the personal commitment being of greater significance and importance - not politically expedient.
McCain did not give Palin national political opportunity. She was rising regardless - McCain exploited the inevitable. To the contrary, McCain’s draft may have forced Palin on to the stage too early.
“Actually, rabs has a long, distinguised, and in my opinion admirable record of helping expose Mitt Romney for the fraud he is. Just FYI.”
What has he done for us lately.
Attack Palin
Attack Palin
oh and
Attack Palin

He's goring the wrong political ox right now... :-)

I'm saying take it up with the posters who put these threads out... not Sarah Palin or Sarah Palin supporters...
You did notice the title of the thread when you dropped by, didn't you?
“McCain did not give Palin national political opportunity. She was rising regardless - McCain exploited the inevitable. To the contrary, McCain’s draft may have forced Palin on to the stage too early.”
Right.
That speech at the RNC was a gift from the RINO, whether we like it or not. It was perhaps one of the biggest political gifts ever given. Without that, nobody talks about her. Period.
Absolutely political loyalty.
Well, n00b, tell us all about it.
And who did you vote for....Obama? You're doing an awful lot of bashing for a person that's only been here for a month.
>> It was perhaps one of the biggest political gifts ever given.
But to whom, Palin? She seems to be the obvious recipient, but maybe not.
Is the Palin Family’s life better for all of this? Who knows - this answer’s not obvious to me. A lot hurt accompanied this journey. A lot of humiliation, a lot of betrayal, a lot of personal exposure, and abuse to her and her family. I’m not sure that’s a gift.
The greatest gift is that provided by Palin to the Country - the hope that’s been decimated by the opposition.
Go JD! Go McCain .. [er] .. Sarah! The FR threads are going to be a source of great humor.
The REAL enemy is statism. A creeping trend toward statism in the Republican party contributed crucially to why and how Obama and his cronies got to be at the helm.
Our Founding Fathers didn't consider the individuals in the Royal Castle their REAL enemy, They knew the enemy was colonialism, taxation without representation, Royal decree. They would have fought it whether it was King George or Queen Elizabeth.
Likewise, we'd be fighting nationalized health care and cap and trade whether it was Obama or McCain. Obama and his cronies are enemies, yet it's their cause that we battle. It is statism; THAT is the enemy. For my money, the Republican party needs to travel toward the opposite of statism if it wants to unite Republicans, conservatives, and independents.
The FR threads are going to be a source of great humor.
You're more hilarious, right now... :-)
I didn't notice much loyalty and gratitude toward Sarah Palin oozing from McCain until he realized the "new political climate" he is facing for his re-election bid this fall. His tune changed quite a bit from what it was before. I think Sarah's loyalty is misplaced with this man. She owes him nothing. She fulfilled her duty as his VP pick and now it is time to move on.
She started out of the gate just fine, but has hit a rough patch now. I think that one of her stated goals was to help real conservative candidates whenever she could. No one could seriously argue that McCain is a "real conservative" candidate - could they?
If, as so many here keep pointing out - her endorsement of McCain is merely because of loyalty and gratitude - then it is truly a hollow endorsement. To me, it cheapens her future endorsements.
I don't think it is particularly 'special' for a politician to scratch another politician's back because of a previous favor - it's done all the time. It's called "politics as usual".
No kidding! We eat our own and they prosper and multiply.
And you’re a mindless downer.
Attack Palin
Attack Palin
oh and
Attack Palin
Attack Scott Brown. (added to the list to keep it current)
And you’re a mindless downer.
Well, that's a step better than being simply "mindless"... LOL...
