The Real Sarah Palin
Governor Palin 4 President ^ | Skip Coryell

Posted on 02/23/2010 7:13:22 AM PST by MaxCUA

Skip Coryell, of Human Events, wrote an interesting and very telling piece on Sarah Palin. I have met Sarah Palin several times and Skips experience is quite accurate. I even sat next to her, at a McCain/Palin fundraising dinner, and she truly is the perfect example of a citizen politician with amazing abilities. Unlike most politicians, I feel she does not make every decision on wether or not it will help her career but driven by what she feels is best or is the right thing to do. For example, her decision to campaign for John McCain is Sarah Palin at her best and it is called loyalty. Another example is resigning as governor. Nearly all politicians would not even think of resigning because it would not be in the best interest of their all important careers. That is not Sarah Palin but the selfless act of resigning is. Liberals or Progressive cannot even begin to understand this because they believe people are inherently bad or evil and expect their leaders to be dishonest.

The Real Sarah Palin: I got a letter in the mail last week. It was from Sarah Palin. I wasn’t expecting it. After all, I don’t even know her. But, nonetheless, there it was, lying in my mailbox, a letter from Wasilla, Alaska, the office of Sarah Palin. I’ve gotten mail from lots of famous politicians in my time: George W. Bush, John McCain, George H.W. Bush, and even from Ronald Reagan himself. But all of them had two things in common: 1) They had no idea who I was, and, 2) They were asking me for money.

If that is Coryell's idea of Palin at her best I'd hate to see her at her worst. Coryell perfectly illustrates Palin chooses Party over principle. It is the reason why the OP(formerly the GOP)has been incrementally moving down the socialist path for years and taking the rest of the country with them.

That is why the left hates her, she is just like us. A normal, hard working, pay the mortgage on time, watch football games with friends, Americans.

No ivy league education, no fancy speech, no ulterior motives. She loves America like us and strives to live by the golden rule, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Square and corny but the truth.

I’ve got to agree with you on being disappointed there.

Those who defend her endorsement of McCain on the grounds of loyalty must for the sake of consistency be perfectly fine with Pubbie pols who develop—and vote according to—deep webs of loyalties over years in Washington.

Yet from what I’ve seen of her so far, the good far exceeds the bad—and she’s looking far better than the other real ‘contenders’ we have.

Sarah Palin, running mate of John McCain in the 2008 campaign just made a statement that she considers McCain a RINO scumbag, who has betrayed conservatives over McCain-Feingold, the gang of 14, amnesty, cap and trade and who she would now give a wide berth, and instead campaign for JD Hayworth to defeat McCain in the 2010 Senate primaries. Furthermore Palin called Meghan McCain a spoiled child and an idiot extraordinaire.

Now if Sarah Palin had said that, how much heat do you think she would have taken from the MSM, the GOP establishment and even the grassroots?

mitt just endorsed McCain for no reason whatsoever. he had no dog in the race, he had no honor to fulfill.

If its Mitt or Palin which would you rather have. One supports McCain due to a sense of honor, the other endorses McCain because he agrees with everything McCain says and does.

My vote goes to the one with honor-Palin

It’s just that back-scratching sense of honor that makes Washington so corrupt.
