The Hill runs a report crediting Sarah Palin for her many Republic primary victories. Before conservatives take too much pleasure in such news, read how she is credited with helping sweep John McCain to victory. Palin traveled to Arizona and made numerous campaign appearances with McCain, bringing him the Tea Party creds he so desperately needed to undercut the fact that he is a nearly three-decades-long, left-leaning Washington insider.
That Palin chose to conveniently back McCain over conservative former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth is a truth that should not soon be forgotten. Her help, McCain’s falsely running to the right, taking positions adverse to his established ones and $21 million dollars in attack ads did the trick.
Sarah Palin is all about expediency. She is no conservative.
Don't think that is an accurate statement.
I don't believe it is, either. She recorded a campaign commercial for him that was played ad infinitum, according to AZ freepers, but that's all I'm aware of.
For the record, back when we here in Texas had our gubernatorial primary some months back, Dick Cheney's recorded pitch for Kaye Bailey Hutchison (RINO-TX) ran day and night for weeks on end.
I also hated to see Sarah endorse McCain, but I'm grown up enough to understand why she had to do it. Now that she's repaid her political debt to him, she's free to push forward and help every real conservative she can.
McCain is in the twilight of his career. He holds no Senate leadership or committee chairmanships.
He's nothing but a younger version of Strom Thurmond, and if the new Republicans get elected that'll blunt his impact. I agree with you that McCain is a Soros POS but in the end he's irrelevant.
No, he’s pissant, sr. Much worse.
I would like her to make him SecDef, just long enough for him to lose his Senate seat, then fire his lame butt and send him back to Arizona.
Try this:
If not, Google it. The URL includes an apostrophe which is probably getting mangled somewhere along the way, and I don’t have time to track down why.
Ditto that!

Where’s the article from Seeing Red AZ?
I’d love to see that happen!
:-)
He's not being received very well is he?
Pardon, but I'm out of the loop on all of the odd political bots running around this place. Only the biggest stars catch my attention. I'm terrible about that.
Who voted for McCain? Buy a clue, the citizens of AZ.
Are you taking on dirty work now?
Wow. Didn't think there could be one worse than him.
Well. Guess I'll have to show him some "love" from time to time ;-)
Boo-freaking-Hoo troll boy.
Cry me a river of third party tears.
Like she said, she told the whole county she wanted him to be POTUS, so of course she would be for him for the US Senate. She went on to add that “he has seen the light” on some of the important issues.
My God, you need a brain in place of the hatred you hold for her.
You’re much too childish for grown-up politics.
She appeared at TWO campaign rallies for McCain in March 2010, at least one of which was streamed over the Internet. [Note that J.D. was already in the race at this point in time.]

She also went on at least one live television interview with Fox in which she said that McCain is part of the Tea Party.

She also wrote an op-ed piece for The Arizona Republic imploring Arizonans to re-elect McCain.

On top of that, she not only recorded those campaign commercials that were "played ad infinitum," but she attended at least one reception/dinner with photo op to raise money for McCain, not that he really needed any more since he had tens of millions left over from 2008 (that he refused to deploy against Obama).

Play? Um, no, but I posted my comment to the Sarah troll.
See post 25.
Let’s just say he’s got no case to criticize anyone considering the loonies he has voted for in the past.......
Why did I know, one of you Palin-bashers would be the one who posted this?
Did you ever identify for the group, who you’re shilling for?...
