Palin Endorsements Are Key in Primary Season

It’s primary season and Conservative candidates around the country are all hoping to get a Palin endorsement to boost their campaigns. So far it is proving to be very beneficial for the candidates that have Governor Palin’s official backing.

In Wisconsin, Sean Duffy’s campaign exploded after the governor threw her support in his direction. They successfully put enough pressure on the very powerful Chairman of the Appropriations Committee and congressional fixture, Dave Obey to plan an early retirement.

Earlier this week in West Virginia, in a race marked by one of those anxiety inducing SarahPAC targets, Representative Alan Mollohan lost his reelection bid.

Palin endorsed, Rand Paul also has a comfortable lead in the Kentucky race.

Thursday, Nikki Haley’s campaign announced that Sarah Palin will endorse her candidacy for GOP slot in the South Carolina governor’s race.

She’s doing exactly what she said she was going to do. In this day-and-age - it’s refreshing.

Endorsements, from anyone or any institution mean nothing to me.

Hey you guys,

Is this another one of those endorsements that make Sarah Palin a RINO?

[Carling]

I’m not calling Palin a RINO. Read my posts, but I’m not sure you have the intellectual capacity to understand my criticism of her RINO endorsements.

I applauded her endorsement of Nikki in the original thread about it. Look up my posts. Or don’t, and stay ignorant.

[Carling]

Also, Mollohan lost the Democratic primary. What does that have to do with Palin?

Tell you what, since you can't read the heart and minds of others, why don't you lay off of inflammatory comments like calling Sarah Palin a Liar and using a selective and narrow set of facts to support your contention.

You do that, and I'll believe you when your other points.

It goes back to your ridiculous attempt to slander Governor Palin by listing two endorsements of RINOs, that I don't like either, and then trying to make her out a liar.

You failed to mention the rest of her endorsements that were overwhelmingly conservative.

[Carling]

You're accusing me of being something that I'm not. So, if I take the other extreme toward Palin, it's fair play. I'm actually liking her less now that newbies like you have started attacking people like me for expressing our opinion about your hero. It's almost like criticizing Obama to an Obama supporter.

Think about that.

And apparently, you can't refute my arguments against your post calling Sarah Palin a liar, since you are now deflecting the whole course of our conversation.

Sorry, but I doubt your sincerity.

Palin said was quitting Alaska, in part, to focus on campaigning for conservative candidates. She failed this pledge in the GOP primary in the largest state in the union.

Again, if she had simply not said anything, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Don't blame people like me for Palin reneging on her word.

Sorry, but what am is it that I am accusing you of that you are not?

Also, if you are trying to get me to see your point, calling me a newbie isn't going to get it done.

Senority means nothing to me.

The quality of your ideas and your behavior is what will convince me, not how long you've been at FreeRepublic.

Palin reneging on her word.

And once again, your post leaves out the overwhelming list of Conservatives she HAS campaigned for.

But I guess mentioning that long list would be kind of inconvenient for your point, right?

[Carling]

So, why didn’t she campaign for DeVore in CA?

[Carling]

I have to say, after looking at your profile, I have no idea why you are defending Palin for endorsing McLame over Hayworth.

No idea at all.

This is your problem Carling, you purposely distort the truth.

Find one post of mine where I am defending Paling for endorsing McLame over Hayworth.

You can't because it doesn't exist.

If I lived in AZ today, I'd be voting for J.D. and doing my best to see McCain defeated.

And nothing I've posted on FreeRepublic can be construed otherwise.

[SoConPubbie]

So, why didn’t she campaign for DeVore in CA?

Tell you what, you answer my question concerning all the conservative candidates she has endorsed and campaigned for and I'll answer yours.

[Carling]

So, your entire purpose is to attack me for being upset at Palin?

It’s best if we ignore each other from this point forward.
