Hello Palin Koolaid drinkers. If McCain had said exactly the same thing, what would have been your reaction ?

Irrelevant! McCain never would've said the same thing.

Mind you, he may have said he'd stump for RATS, but he never would've said he'd stump for RATS with Conservative values.

The jury is instructed to ignore the question. Rephrase your question, please.

Posted this before and some people seem to like it....

------

Bobby Jindal of Louisiana.Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota. And Governor, maybe soon a senator, Charlie Crist of Florida. And Sen. John Thune of South Dakota. former governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, former governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas.

Do this mental exercise. Imagine any of the above coming to speak in your town. Imagine the venue that would be required to accommodate the expected turnout.

Then

Do the same exercise with Sarah Palin.

Compare and contrast.

The MittBots don’t seem to understand that McCain probably picked up at least ten million votes because of Palin.

"Who do you think is shooting down Universal Healthcare. "

Don't believe everything, or anything for that matter, that you read at Politico. It's Republicans, holding strong, that's keeping the country from so-called Health Care reform. The Democrats don't want to own this by themselves, so they're trying to peel off some Republicans to show that it's a bipartisan bill. But, the second that they realize their not going to get any, or enough, Republicans, they'll pass the bill. Count on it. And, most of the Blue Dogs will acquiesce rather than face the wrath of Pelosi and Emmanuel.

I WAS a Palin fan—no more. Palin must not understand how important it is for Republicans to gain a majority. She can get lost as far as I’m concerned.

But I wonder how one defines ‘conservative democrats’

She made her point clear: She'll support those who support her ideas on limited Govermnent, Security and Energy.

“First, there’s no such thing as a conservative democrat, period.”

BullBarack! My parents are gun-owning, bible believing, pro-life DEMOCRATS. Trust me, I’ve tried to tell them how little sense it makes for them to keep voting DEM, but they are also union members, so it’s like spittin’ in the wind.

"I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to Heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all" - The Sage of Monticello

But the question was about pro-life Democrats, not about how conservative they are. I know that Casey fits that bill.

I'm sure she won't cry after you.

What would be a real hoot is if she challenged 0bama in the democrat primary. Can someone enter both the democrat and republican primaries at the same time?

Palin understands that perfectly. She also understands that NO DEMOCRAT will accept her offer (unless they are prepared to caucus with the GOP). And she understands that she will attract millions of conservative Democrat VOTERS who are becoming increasingly disgusted with the way the country is heading.

She is doing EXACTLY what Reagan did in 1980, she is showing the VOTERS that she is more interested in values than party labels.

Relief that he finally came clean about his political orientation.

“I WAS a Palin fan—no more. Palin must not understand how important it is for Republicans to gain a majority. She can get lost as far as I’m concerned.”

What good did it do this country when the republicans were the majority? NONE, because our republican leaders are NOT conservative, they just have an “R” by their name and are the same globalist sell outs that the democrats are. No one wants to identify themselves as republican any more, haven’t you noticed?

Stumping to keep Obama’s veto proof majority? Wonderful.

Or could we finally be seeing an alternative to the false choice between the Stupid Party and the Evil Party?

It's really nice to meet some one that knows everything. A rare bird indeed and spanking new to this site too. Zell is retired now and I admit I can't name you a bunch of Conservative Democrats, BUT they do exist. Will they take Sarah's offer, I doubt it. The fact that she offers is the point. Okay, now you can come back and hit me with something personal like you did a few of the other Freepers.
