I swear to God...sorry...that some here act just like they did over Bush and amnesty.

crazy with uniform thought...and dreamy suppositions...and slathering

Sarah is great. I doubt anyone supports her here more than I.

But I am not with her on this...I’ve had enough.

Mccain is using her.

He is not out pal.....he hates the right.

I feel like people are missing the point, so I wanted to restate what I mean.

Governor Palin's conservative message, her communication of that message, and her savvy in bringing that message to the public —has allowed for her to play a huge part in legitimizing the contested primaries going on all over the country. She was the most high-profile politician to start the trend by endorsing Doug Hoffman over Dede Scozzafava in the NY-23.

I am not saying people have to VOTE for John McCain. What I am saying is, "underdog" Tea Party sympathetic candidates such as Hayworth, Rand Paul, etc... have largely benefitted from the momentum Governor Palin has initiated. By lending her name to the Tea Party movement and for being so vocal about her encouragement of contested primaries--we all benefit as a whole.

Very well said and I agree. She is way out of bounds on this. She could have easily gracefully declined stating that her stance on the Constitution clearly do no match Juans.

Isn’t this what the Conservatives wanted to hear.

I agree. I love Sarah, and I agree with her on a lot. I don’t agree with her on her McCain endorsement (I understand why she would do it, but I still disagree with her). If I lived in Arizona, I would still not vote for McCain. If she ran for president, then I would still be interested in voting for her.

This one seems pretty simple, but it seems like a lot of folks want to immediately shoot and bury ANYONE who disagrees with them on ANYTHING. That’s just not a good idea.

Sarah’s a free agent and can do whatever she wants to at this point. I’d rather believe that she’s campaigning for McCain because she truly admires the man and agrees with his stances. That is the honorable explanation. If that is the case, it’s good that we are learning more about her before we invest too much of ourselves in her stock.

On the other hand, if the reason she is campaigning for the lying SOB is because she is only doing it out of some perceived “loyalty” and “indebtedness” to him, and that she doesn’t really agree with his stances - well then - I think that is dispicable and paints her as the kind of “professional politician” that I tend to despise.

As far as thanking Sarah for “lending us her name” in the Tea Party movement - the movement is independent of any one leader. In fact, the only time I have seen Sarah at a Tea Party event was at that convention in Tennessee. I didn’t see her in DC when the healthcare thing was going down. I’ve seen Michele Bachmann at several of them - on the front line of the battle, fighting the good fight, but not so much Sarah.

We had better get both of our feet planted firmly in the ground, because we’ve got a huge fight ahead of us & we can’t afford to be placing our faith in people that won’t deliver when it comes to crunch time.

Thank you. It is head in the sand time for some of these Palin people. First they told us that she would only perfunctorily support McCain. But now she's all over the place with the old scumbucket, and we are told she is doing us all a favor in wanting to re-elect the king of Rino’s.

It does remind me of people defending Bush when he was clearly wrong. Excellent point.
