Palin’s conservative fans need to reassess her “victories”
Seeing Red AZ ^ | 2010-08-26

Posted on 08/26/2010 8:12:30 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

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.

You do realize that it's probably ghost-written like all of the other books written by politicians, right?

That's a non-sequitur reply. I repeat. Read the book if you're interested in finding out the real story of her accomplishments.

In fact, once you've read Sarah's book, one of the things you'll realize is that she wrote it herself. The cadence and rhythm of her unique way of speaking is evident throughout. She's got a journalism degree, in case you didn't know, and is totally capable of putting a book together by herself.

Besides that who wrote it has nothing to do with content...I'm sure she gave her stamp of approval after final edit...

What I find absolutely remarkable about Sarah Palin .. and I can’t think of ONE other pol of whom this can be said .. not once have I heard her say ‘um’ or ‘ah.’ She knows what she wants to say and says it clearly, without stumbling or stammering.

If she couldn't hack a post as Governor of a state, what makes you think she can hack it as President of all fifty states?

Thank you Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Arianna Huffington and Rachel Maddow.

She appeared at TWO campaign rallies for McCain in March 2010


If you don’t think AZ voters knew who they were voting for, you are selling them short. McCain has represented them for years and they keep re-electing him. He did not need Palin’s endorsement but he asked for it , cashing in a political chit he received when he brought her to national attention.

She now owns the chit. She will rely on him to redeem it to help her pass her conservative agenda when she takes office in 2013.

McCain didn’t need to spend 20M dollars to get re-elected either. He listened to the same advisers that lost him the Presidential election who have just succeeded in enriching themselves again.

Yup. About 2 months and a week until the November elections.
Then, 6 months or so until the 1st debate.

I’m cutting and pasting from Wikipedia on when candidates announced last time.

On December 19, 2006, Gilmore announced he would form an exploratory committee to “fill the conservative void” in the race. On January 9, 2007, Gilmore officially filed papers with the Federal Election Commission to form the Jim Gilmore for President Exploratory Committee.[15]

After first announcing the formation of an exploratory committee in late 2006, Thompson announced his candidacy for the 2008 presidential election on April 1, 2007.

On December 4, 2006, Brownback formed an exploratory committee, thus taking the first steps toward candidacy. He announced his Presidential bid as of December 5, 2006 on his website.[67]

On January 16, 2007, Tancredo announced that he formed an exploratory committee on seeking the presidential nomination of the Republican Party.

On October 30, 2006, Hunter announced his intention to consider running for the Republican nomination for President in 2008. Hunter formally announced his presidential candidacy in Spartanburg, South Carolina, on January 25, 2007.[39]

At the end of March, Thompson asked to be released from his television contract, potentially in preparation for a presidential bid.[7] Thompson formed a presidential exploratory committee regarding his possible 2008 campaign for president on June 1, 2007.

In November 2006 Giuliani announced the formation of an exploratory committee toward a run for President of the United States in 2008. In February 2007 he filed a “statement of candidacy” and confirmed on the television program Larry King Live that he was indeed running.[130]

On January 3, 2007, two days before he stepped down as governor of Massachusetts, Romney filed to form a presidential exploratory committee with the Federal Election Commission.[1][1] Subsequently, on February 13, 2007, he formally announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for president in 2008.[2]

On January 27, 2007, the Associated Press reported that Huckabee, planned to file papers to form a presidential exploratory committee. He announced his run for the White House on Meet the Press on January 28, 2007.[11]

Ron Paul formed a presidential exploratory committee on January 11.[19] He also acquired data on public interest in his running for President around February 19.[20] Based on the results from the exploratory committee and polling, Paul officially entered the race on March 12.[20][21]

McCain informally announced his candidacy on the Wednesday, February 28, 2007 telecast of the Late Show With David Letterman. He then announced his formal candidacy for the presidency of the United States on Wednesday, April 25, 2007.

It is a personal attack if it's irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

It's not irrelevant. You, who have voted for idiots, post anti-Palin articles incessantly. Your judgment is flawed.

People need to know the mentality behind the screen name.

They're catching on.

Pssssst, learned on another thread that Sarah uses bendy drinking straws for her bottled water!!!
Maybe you could use that fact in your criticisms of her.
