Vulnerable Republicans want Palin to stay home

Republicans facing tough elections in 2010 don’t want Sarah Palin campaigning with them.

Though the soon-to-be-former Alaska governor is seen as popular with the conservative grass roots, several Republicans said she’d help them by staying home in Wasilla.

Several of these Republicans hail from districts or states carried in 2008 by President Obama, a frequent target of Palin’s criticism. Republicans must keep these districts and win others where Obama is popular if they are to gain seats next year.

GOP Rep. Lee Terry (Neb.), who squeaked out a victory despite his district’s overwhelming turnout for Obama, said he’d rather have House colleagues campaign for him than Palin.

“There’s others that I would have come in and campaign and most of them would be my colleagues in the House,” Terry said.

Palin should stay away from each and every one of these weasels. Why be tainted by their RINO stench?

After one or two major campaign-raising successes from Palin for more "conservative" candidates these dweebs will be falling all over themselves trying to kiss her ass.

Vulnerable Republicans (RINOS) want Palin to stay home.

Conservatives Want Her To Campaign; FOR A Conservative!

Yup, and I don’t think she gives a crap about these weasels. She’s probably trying to find candidates to run against ‘em in the primaries. :)

These sound like RINOs near extinction.

They say this now, but in a couple of months they’ll be begging to have Sarah swing by.

I wonder, by doing this they are trying to look better to the rats and the Palin-hating moderates, but at the same time pissing off the conservative base in their districts. Who the hell is their campaign manager? Why not keep their mouths shut?

Why not...do they want to lose?

Any Republicans facing elections in 2010 and who do not want Sarah Palin campaigning with them should be summarily voted out of office.

These are exactly the type of Republican that have neutered the Party and have not represented our interests.

From my perspective, I would thank them though for revealing themselves to the electorate before we send then into retirement.

Any Republican that doesn’t want Palin’s help in 2010 isn’t a Republican.

To get the garbage out, we’ve got to trash them in primaties.

Looks like these guys not only want to lose, but deserve to lose. Sarah Palin makes a great Rino detector, apparently.
