Sarah Palin on "Small and Bitter" McCain Aides Trashing Her

RINOs are bitter clingers

Show your support. join Operation Freep Palin.

They are also delusional...All the more reason to rid ourselves of such vermin.

Sarah is tough and a class act.

Bobby Jindahl and Palin are the future of this party.

You know, when you’ve been through a heckuva fight, even a losing fight, maybe especially a losing fight, its nice to be able to look upon your comrades in arms with pride and affection knowing you stood side by side and back to back though the worst they could throw at you. You get together over a beer, or over a barbecue, and reminisce, and its good.

Unless your comrades-in-arms are weasels, in which case you forget you ever knew them.

i don’t care what the pubie party thinks,

if they continue trashing sarah,

they are not going to win the presidency again for a long time.

si.

Good on her. I was wondering when someone would publish a response.

I sent the following email to Sarah Palin’s governor office in early September.

I am supposed to enthusiastically join the Republican campaign, because McCain has chosen you as his vice president candidate. However, I foresee you confronting consistent internal tactics to isolate, misquote, miscommunicate and misinform shunting into obscurity the conservative positions, which dominate your political career.

Conservatives associating with the Republican Party may view you positively, but manifold enemies surround you. McCain forces will grant such selective influence, as they believe increases daily polling numbers, not only during the campaign, but in Washington if the Republican ticket is elected. According to Republican elites an era of William F. Buckley’s writings fueling Ronald Reagan’s initiatives is historical aberration, so maintaining conservative credentials means fighting a political Cold War. Principled actions demand extraordinary energy, cunning, and endurance to fight battles within as severe as any against the Democrats.

I received a small taste of that when spending several fruitless days attempting to open an account the GOP said people could use to address platform issues. I think it is reasonable to conclude too many people, who were not John McCain acolytes, had been submitting information. I had seen stories GOP elites were going to rewrite the platform for McCain’s candidacy, and there was confirmation.

You can easily follow downward sloping paths similar to Ike Eisenhower’s in relationships with political elites. When Republicans chose Ike, Harry Truman said they would eat him alive. Truman foretold Ike’s principle compromises, even as Republican leaders maintained Ike’s proven character was vital to reverse ever-diminishing Republican Party influence.

The first major principle abandonment came when Joe McCarthy denounced George Marshall as a Communist. General Marshall had promoted Eisenhower over hosts of more senior officers, and supported his assignment as commander of the D-Day invasion. Ike decreed McCarthy would not board his train in Wisconsin. Ike would also present a tribute to Marshall in Milwaukee. First aides, through supposed miscommunication, allowed McCarthy on the train. Political aides then not only dissuaded Ike from delivering the tribute, but also convinced him to appear with McCarthy in speeches. Eventually Ike would participate in political lies surrounding the U-2, completely stifling the character and principles of the man who lead allied troops on D-Day, and whom Americans thought they had elected.

I do not plan to identify with the politically nuanced who find compromise of conservative principles a way to office. In general saying, “Vote for us. We are just as good as the Democrats” should garner many votes from those traditionally driven by media sound bites impacting their emotions. However, the party alienates people like me who voted their own job out of existence, decided to serve voluntarily in harms way, turned down promotions out of principle, and operate a home on a single income. From events of the past several years, I must conclude that fundamentally the GOP finds such people as you and me irrelevant, if not embarrassing.

Remember the success of Bill Clinton cemented in politics for both parties the idea that character did not matter. There are no principles, but only ideas that secure possession of an office. John McCain is the most prominent Republican example of this new direction towards possession of power through careful exploitation of perceived expediency. You have been chosen for the ideas you express, but those dominating party leadership remain confident they can suppress or deflect any embarrassing expressions of principle. For you to maintain conservative stature requires overcoming McCain’s additive fawning for media, and liberal approval.

Politics is the art of compromise and leadership is the art of principle. Lincoln used superb political skills to implement some of the most cogent and insightful principles to guide this nation. McCain has used political skills to implement compromises consistent with increasing personal acclaim. The former is dead and the latter is alive, but dead to principles unrelated to his immediate personal advancement.

Since leadership is absent from the Democrat and Republican Parties, each individual must make a way to manage commitment to principle and political party affiliation. Each individual must answer questions as to what extent, under what circumstances and when, if ever, do you forsake conservative principles to align with an enemy of your beliefs against a greater enemy of your beliefs? You should never pretend conscious decisions are not required every day as political elites offer instruction and persuasion allowing you to find supposedly morally or ethically supportable choices, when such weighty utilitarian and cynical considerations dominate the campaign.

Besides McCain’s conservative problems with granting amnesty to illegal aliens and restricting freedom of speech, he has a more subtle, but tragic, deficiency in the areas of national security and integrity illustrating my point about correctly identifying moral and ethical issues.

John McCain lacks leadership for the Global War on Terror. His leadership codified the Army interrogation manual making terrorists legal combatants. His leadership granted terrorists American citizenship rights under Fifth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. He thereby ensures information vital to defeat terrorists remains sacred and unobtainable. Terrorists are unresponsive to direct questioning and psychological gambits. Therefore, interrogators need all stress and coercion techniques our military encounters in survival schools. McCain embraces liberal orthodoxy considering those methods torture, but his searing experiences call forth contrary insights he must suppress.

McCain especially understands from the Geneva Conventions terrorists are not insurgents or freedom fighters. They are not armed forces, militias, or volunteer corps of any country or authority. These killers are not members of organized resistance movements carrying arms openly. They have no distinctive identifier. Terrorists cannot even qualify as spies or saboteurs destroying infrastructure required to support military operations. Therefore, they are not prisoners of war.

McCain understands Geneva Conventions intended to isolate such forces, provide them no protections, and allow destruction with any overwhelming furies needed to crush their abominations. Knowing these factors, he has promised to close Guantanamo Bay, inviting terrorists into our legal system. He has decided to accommodate extraordinarily savage behavior, which checkmates national laws intended to manage simple murder and kidnapping, and renders Posse Comitatus a crumbling deception. To gain liberal and media approbation, McCain has embraced their doctrinaire civil liberty rules providing legal conduits enabling terrorists to move operatives and material into this country for an effective war against us.

McCain especially appreciates from our Constitution that laws guaranteeing civil liberties presuppose operation within an invincible society. He more than most understands Alexander Hamilton’s words that acknowledging devastating, unforeseeable perils exist must precede deliberations balancing common defense and civil liberties. The Federal government’s three branches primary responsibility is to pursue Hamilton’s admonition that powers must exit without limitation; providing capabilities thwarting dangers as well as repelling attacks. McCain understands powerful warfare capabilities require the potent intelligence acquisition and exploitation he is determined to withhold before and throughout military campaigns.

The framers of our Constitution and the Geneva Conventions held powerful positions throughout the darkest times of our country and the world. They were our Founding Fathers, and parents and grandparents of the Greatest Generation. Their words expressed durable morality earned in our fight for freedom, and against the ultimate bloody deluges of the 20th century. These first generations expressed principles derived from confronting shattering tragedies, and earning peace through victory. John McCain’s actions are particularly reprehensible because he turns a blind eye to the council of these people for personal political gain.

McCain continually seeks popular advancement by placating those coveting comforting morality allowing shelter from hard choices and danger awareness. His crime is repudiating military and intelligence professionals facing the hardest choices when confronting shrewd, ruthless enemies obscured behind frightening uncertainties.

John McCain succumbed to the terrible addiction of political power. The same addiction expressed itself differently in fellow Navy officer Randy Cunningham, who was the Navy’s first Vietnam ace. Over the decades the honor and moral authority of both were gradually traded away for influence in the political arena. To me McCain is like a cadaver prepared for viewing. The removal of blood and organs equates to the trading away of honor and moral authority. The reputation that remains is like the cosmetics applied for viewing the corpse at the funeral. It is easy for anyone, including you, to get onto the same sort of gently downward sloping path.

The final result is tragic, but we should not suffer such pathetic and contemptible modern day Macbeths or Hamlets as President and Vice President. We should not design a platform enabling continuation of such abominable expressions of behavior. Conservatives should also be skeptical that anyone, including you, can maintain principle against determined assaults by political elites quietly chanting the mantra Bill Clinton bequeathed to politics.

That’s kind of a small, evidently bitter type of person who would anonymously charge something foolish like that,

Conservatives have too much honor and class to say these kind of things behind her back.

Obviously vermin of the lowest type.

And for Carl Cameron to gleefully repeat this crap puts him in the same category.

IT’S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT PALIN IS BEING NEGATED BY THE MODERATE REPUBLICAN FACTION IN ORDER TO ABORT A 2012 PRESIDENTIAL BID.

Myth Romney: "You will embrace this attack on Gov. Palin and her children using Jindal's and McCain' and Huckabee's names
like our attacks on McCain and Thompson using Huckabee's name. Support it, from our lands in
the north using the fake law enforcement badges we fabricated. I will gain GOP favor by condemning it and
ordering it opposed from our lands in the south with Fox News and the MSM. Whichever way
the tide runs, we will rise."

Another poster, who just signed up, won’t answer questions, and posts only the same story over and over intended to cause infighting and divisiveness.

Playing ya’ll like a fiddle.

communist goal #15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

I’d say we’ve got a lot of work ahead of us weeding out the weasles.

I’m not happy with the republican party either, but McCain and his cronies never have been a part of the republican party...

Bitter words from an old guy who couldn’t have garnered the votes to become president of the PTA without Palin.

Alex Burns of Politico has also been a mocking bird and even trying to say those rumors might be true. He came off as a snobby little bastard on Greta tonight trashing Palin.

yes.

mccain was not the first choice of this forum.

yeah...newbie...but 5 year lurker and wife of a regular poster - does that count? Bring on the Kitties!

I am HORRIFIED by the scape-goating of Sarah. If McCain doesn’t say something about this in the next 12 hours, well, he IS the loser I would not vote for before Mrs. Palin came along. But we all know his true colors.

I HOPE and PRAY she stays around until we can reconfigure ourselves to a new party - the Free Republican Party?

Dear Hubbie and I are buying guns and it is sheer irony that we are now more afraid of the US “government” than terrorists.

Looked up the John Birch Society - wasn’t too impressed, but it might be start...

This is totally cornball - I’ve been called worse - but this just POPPED into my head and it won’t go away...aside from the romantic notion, the following words just resonate where Sarah is concerned.

YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE (Debbie Boone)

So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
You’ve come along

You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

Rollin’ at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally I’m turning for home?
Finally, a chance to say hey,
I love You
Never again to be all alone

You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

It can’t be wrong
When it feels so right
‘Cause You
You light up my life
***************

We must get rid of every incumbent in 2010, and I look forward to Sarah/True Republican in 2012.

Is it divisive to acknowledge that the Republican Party is in fact divided between a good faction (real conservatives) and a not good faction (Neocon RINOs)?

Is it infighting to stand up and fight for the good side?
