Although supporting a rino is always questionable, only fools or leftists would try to say it makes Palin herself a rino. There are clear reasons, other than agreement on policy, for her to campaign for him, painful as it is for many of us.
If Palin acts like a rino based on her policies, then she’s a rino. She has not done that. Her endorsement of McCain cuts like a knife, but it’s not enough to stop supporting her.
McCain is the one who endorsed his own opponent during the campaign. As far as I know, Palin doesn’t have it in her.
Remember, Palin advocated profiling. That’s why she’s not a rino.
She’s not in elective office either, and she wasn’t a Democrat running in a Democrat district at the time she was elected.
I completely agree.
I'm also a conservative that is dismayed to see Sarah Palin and Scott Brown endorsing John McCain, the ultimate 'RINO. However, unless Palin and Brown begin promoting amnesty for illegals and civilian trials for captured terrorists, abortion-on-demand paid for by tax dollars and same-sex 'marriage' or claim that tax cuts are only 'for the rich', I'll continue to support them, with the hope that McCain loses the GOP primary race to J.D. Hayworth, which may be possible, considering McCain's long record of being a Washington insider at a time when Washington insiders are anathema to voters.

Glad to see you "on board" for some rational thinking here... :-)
