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.
Who is Paul Streitz, and why should I care what he thinks about anything?
Everyone knows the only REAL conservatives are you and me. And I have my doubts about you.
Interesting point you brought up, I hadn’t picked up on that fact.
McCain is just plain maddening and I wish Sarah Palin could just walk away. But either McCain or someone advising him does seem have good political instincts. He also saw something in Scott Brown. Unfortunately he recognizes the rising stars and latches onto them early. As irritating as this is. We are not going to win elections by attacking the rising stars. It is not their fault that McCain is helping them out early and then looking for favors later.
When one departure from "orthodoxy" gets you the scarlet letter, we're talking ridiculous here.
I've seen unflinching advocates for a strong national defense, pro-life policies, and fiscal restraint labeled RINOs because they supported an environmental measure. It's laughable.
McCain only got as many votes as he did for the Presidential election because we voted for HER on the ticket, not HIM. Funny, Michael Savage seemed to think that she was a detriment to the ticket. I say it was just the opposite. If it was just McCain on the ticket with anyone else, he wouldn’t have gotten as many votes as he did.
That’s why this is an unnecessary move.
Whats your weird obsession with Rham Emmanuel? He pretends to be a tough guy,,thats all. When mafia sends you a dead fish, carries a ball bat, stabs a table, uses foul language at inappropriate times,,,it means you might be dead. As in for real.
When Rham emmanuel, the gay ballet dancer does it,,, its called “flamboyant”. He is *acting* like tough guys he’s seen in the movies. Trying to look hetero. That Man-gina has never killed anyone,,, or been in a fist fight.
Ah, well - she failed some ideological test of purity and must be banished. The GOP must be purged of anyone with a snowball's chance in hell of ever getting elected. Reagan would probably be denounced as a RINO by some folks these days.
Yes..., there is a "move afoot" among some crazies on FReep Republic to "banish" Sarah Palin from any support here... LOL...
It's been building for weeks and months and now it's "burst out into the open" for all to see...
Expect to see this FReeper groups constantly pounding away at Sarah Palin, hoping to derail anything she does for conservatives, from now on.
If it's between banishing Sarah Palin as a conservative and banishing certain ones here who don't want Sarah Palin around -- I know who I would pick to banish... LOL...
She is loyal. McCain gave her national prominence and she is repaying him. Hothing at all wrong with that.
Go Sarah!! Damn the naysaying nabobs of negativity!! Full steam ahead!!
NO, it’s not a mistake.
without McCain there would be no Sarah Palin.
So after one endorsement you don’t agree with you’re throwing her overboard. Her pro-life position is not RINO. Is this a real b$llsh$t article.
!!!
McCain only got as many votes as he did for the Presidential election because we voted for HER on the ticket, not HIM.
I voted for Sarah Palin, too... and I was super glad she was on the GOP ticket. It made my day!
And I will continue supporting Sarah Palin, even though there are some "crazies" here on this board who say not to... LOL...
first of all, no he doesn't... he doesn't care... but even if he did "behave" for nine months because of Palin, doesn't bother you? you are essentially saying that he has to behave until he wins re-election... and then once he's won, he can go back to his same ol' ways... and we know his ways... how can you be okay with that?
Anybody who thinks that Palin is a RINO...
...is without doubt...a serious ignoramus...
except Rab...he is just a 16 yr old Paulist and should be forgiven.
I keep seeing that accusation. Got any numbers to back it up?
2004 - 121 million votes cast for president.
2008 - 129 million votes cast for president.
Obama won by 9.5 million votes. Do you know 10,000,000 people who stayed home?
Honor is word unknown to RomneyBOTs.
