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.
You go ahead and defend that!
As far as what I think you where saying about me....being a plant or something....I am speechless.
I am not allowed to look in a posters past posts? I see someone saying something like they liked Sarah until she agreed to campaign with McCain, I find it hard to believe they are being honest, I find in their past posts they trashed Sarah pretty much from the beginning, then I call them on it.
You and I have agreed in the past but now you call me out as a hater or something. I have never had an experience here when another Sarah Palin supporter wanted to fight with me..This is a first for me, and yes rather upsetting!
Peace
I voted for Juan, of course, thinking Palin would be of some comfort--in the remote chance he won. Had to force myself, and almost went Indy.
I have voted Republican since Pres. Nixon.
You call it bashing; is everyone supposed to fall in line , one mindset like the 'Rats? I believe our country is in extreme trouble and we need great numbers of people to come together and fight not only the long corrupt Dem machine, but 'pubs who accommodate & vote with them. Since RR left office, we have gone downhill horribly. Klintoon was proof of that.
Hussein & his czars want to destroy this free nation & create a Fourth Reich, but one that would be only part of a world government, controlled by the UN. You can take that to any SOLVENT bank.
Take care.
That's VERY good!
There were some VERY good people who thought Giuliani was acceptable, because they figured he was the one least likely to get NY vaporized with a series of dirty bombs. I don't agree with such sentiment, but I don't write off those who buy into it, even though I wrote off Giuliani himself.
AMEN.
In fact, going back through rabs posting history reveals someone with an intense hate of most things Republican with very little criticism ever leveled at the Rats. Hmm...
That`s just not the case! If you looked in my past posts you would feel pretty foolish. But No I do not want to fight with you, and btw You have just born false testimony against me
I call it bashing when a poster never posts threads that complain about what Obama or the dems are doing.
I call it bashing when it is the only topic (anti McCain/Palin/Brown) a poster ever posts or comments on.
These things tend to make others suspicious of the intentions of the bashers.
Oh, no, I wasn’t referring to you in that post but to rabscuttle. You and I seem to be in agreement. Sorry for the confusion.
Ummmm, if I read the posts correctly, sara was talking about rabs not you???
GTMA :)
Le mieux est l’ennemi du bien.
Lame lamentations by loser lackeys.
In her book, last page #413, last paragraph.....
“And I do know there is a God. My life is in His hands. I encourage readers to do what I did many years ago, invite Him in to take over... then see what He will do and how He will get you through. Test Him on this. You’ll see there’s no such thing as a coincidence. I’m thankful for His majestic creation called Alaska, which has given me my home, and for His touch on America, which has given us all so may opportunities. By His grace, an American life is an extraordinary life.”
But liberals are not laughing. There’s interecine snarling & signs of revolt. Conservatives’ star keeps rising! uh—not the “Star” on this thread, now....lol
Sacre bleu! C’est la guerre!
“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”.”
Oh, yea? True “politicians” never scratch someone’s back without expecting something in return. Tell me...exactly what is Sarah Palin going to get from this old guy? Nothing. She will be condemned by some self appointed conservative arbiters who line up, as usual, in a circular firing squad. Sarah Palin is the most charismatic conservative to come along in a generation, since Reagan. Reagan was viciously attacked by so-called conservative icons like Paul Weyrich, Richard Viguerie and others for being a closet leftist. If you doubt this, take a look at the link below, which gives chapter and verse:
http://thepinkflamingo.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2008/1/10/3458404.html
You don’t like Palin’s endorsement of McCain. If that is all it takes for you to take your marbles and go home, then begone. You can join the ranks fo the irrelevant along with Viguerie (who now talks about Reagan as an icon, saying that Sarah Palin is the next Reagan....LOL). I tried to find Reagan’s diary passage where he says just what he thought about people like Viguerie, who always thought he wasn’t pure enough, but I don’t have time. It is worth looking up, if you are interested).
If, on the other hand, you are willing to acknowledge that her motives in endorsing McCain are not corrupt, although you disagree with her decision to do so, you may be able to reevaluate your conclusions about her.
“She started out of the gate just fine, but has hit a rough patch now.”
LOL. Some rough patch. She is the overwhelming frontrunner for the GOP nomination and she will likely be the 45th President of the United States. If you think her endorsement of McCain is going to matter, I have just two words for you: Richard Schweiker. In 1980, how much of an impediment was it when Reagan pre-selected in 1976 (as his running mate had he defeated Ford) Richard Schweiker, liberal Republican Senator from Pennsylvania (ACU rating: 9 out of 100)? (Viguerie, et al condemned him and pronounced his political obituary). In case you don’t remember, he won 44 states and booted out the first elected incumbent President in 50 years.
Its called dry heeves lol!
She’s no RINO, but she sure has shown a lack of good judgement the past 6 months
Right, but I hear the term RINO used for anyone who is not conservative. Truth is, a Republican is whatever is politically expedient. The term RINO really is meaningless.
fer sure... :-)

He’s too busy supporting Romney.
