Washington Times Has Now Updated Title from "EXCLUSIVE: Palin to stump for conservative Democrats"
Washington Times ^ | July 12, 2009 | Ralph Z. Hallow

ANCHORAGE, Alaska | Brushing aside the criticisms of pundits and politicos, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said she plans to jump immediately back into the national political fray — stumping for conservative issues and even Democrats — after she prematurely vacates her elected post at month's end.

The former Republican vice-presidential nominee and heroine to much of the GOP's base said in an interview she views the electorate as embattled and fatigued by nonstop partisanship, and she is eager to campaign for Republicans, independents and even Democrats who share her values on limited government, strong defense and "energy independence."

"I will go around the country on behalf of candidates who believe in the right things, regardless of their party label or affiliation," she said over lunch in her downtown office, 40 miles from her now-famous hometown of Wasilla — population 7,000 — where she began her political career.

The only ones I know of are McCain’s inside staff.

Tells me all. You haven't been paying attention. You obviously missed all the Romney-bots attacking her. Latest case: the head of ACU, a RINO who endorsed Romney and donated to liberal Arlen Specter.

Palin-bashing CPAC/ACU Chair donated $2,000 to Arlen Specter, endorsed Romney

It's not my problem if you are too lazy or detached to pay attention to her during and after the campaign... or just reading the article at the top.

That is about as solid a position as hers...

If she does that, she’s way off my list and there is no way I would support her. Then it would be all about her and not the cause. Third party efforts are destructive. I do not believe she will do that. She’s not that stupid or egotistical.


I’m thinking about another reason that is neither stupid nor egotistical: she’s been hurt and disgusted by the attacks that have come at her from within the party. Most notably from within the McCain campaign and from editorialists like Peggy Noonan.
She might also want to disassociate herself from the Mark Sanfords, the David Vitters and the John Ensigns of the Republican Party and from the inept Michael Steele as party leader who has already publically written her off.

“Okay, prove to me by his voting record he’s conservative. I doubt he is, but I’m willing to be proved wrong. Most of them talk well when campaigning and then vote as lib as they can get away with.”

Look it up yourself. Have fun.

Obviously more solid than your reading and attention skills.

You didn't try to familiarize yourself with her politics for what... 9 months? And now you can't even read an article?

As I said... not my problem.

You think I have a shrine of St. Sarah were I pray to her?

I have a "Sarah shrine" - it's all that remains since the restraining order was issued....but that's another story.

Cool.

The only ones that would have a problm with this are those that are more about the GOP than they are conservatism. I don’t give a damn what party a person signs on to, so long as they govern and vote conservative. IF the Democrat does that, she should support them. Same goes for the Republicans. IF they can be counted on, then support them. If not, don’t campaign for them.

But so far as I can tell she doesn’t owe the Republican Party a damn thing. Not after the way they’ve treated her. She only owes conservatives who have had her back. And conservatives wants conservatives in office. Period.

Her positions were the same as the amnesty supporting rino positions of John McCain.

The GOP has been in the Democratic tank for a long time now. Just look at them, other then a select few, they are all praising Obama

Come on. This is ridiculous. Maybe we're not watching the same thing but I have never heard one Republican praise Obama. Where are you coming up with this stuff? You have a real chip on your shoulder.

As a matter of fact, this is an outright lie. I'm telling you to pay attention to the work congressional Republicans are doing. This kind of talk is unfair. I feel sorry for the congressional Republicans. It doesn't matter how hard they work and how good they do it, they still continue to do their work in spite of the fact they are despised and not given the proper thanks and support.

“Why is this guy a Democrat??”


According to the American Conservative Union ratings for 2008, a Democratic Senator from Illinois named Barack Obama voted the conservative position on major pieces of legislation of concern to conservatives 17% of the time.
The Republican Senator from Maine, Olympia Snowe voted conservative 12% of the time and the other Republican Senator from Maine, Susan Collins voted conservative 20% of the time.
Virginia’s Democrat Senator Mark Warner voted the conserative position 52% of the time. Alaska’s Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski voted conservative 58% of the time.

You don't get out much, do you?

Exhibit A, counterexample:

"I’m very proud of my president..."
—U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, RINO-S.C., about Obama, on 2009-06-25 (source)

Shall I continue with more counter-examples?

THANK YOU. She was still trying to save that all Republicans have all been against Obama. Most of them have praised him, let’s see how many of them vote for Obama’s Universal Health care and vote Sotomayor in

Them nasty Senators....
The hawkish trio of Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Joe Lieberman (ID-Conn.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) praised President Barack Obama on Thursday for condemning the corruption and violence surrounding the recent election in Iran.

“I’m very proud of my president for what he said Tuesday,” Graham declared during a press conference. “It was the right thing to say.”

“I appreciate it,” McCain added.

And if you think Lindsay's quote was bad, try Exhibit B on for size:

"I want to support this president. I want him to succeed."
—U.S. Sen. John McCain, RINO-Ariz., about Obama, on 2009-04-02 (source)

Or Exhibit C, quote 1:

"I admire Senator Obama and his accomplishments and I will respect him."
—U.S. Sen. John McCain, RINO-Ariz., about Obama, on 2008-10-11 (source)

Or Exhibit C, quote 2:

"I want to be president of the United States, and I don't want Obama to be. But I have to tell you, I have to tell you, he is a decent person, and a person that you do not have to be scared as President of the United States."
—U.S. Sen. John McCain, RINO-Ariz., about Obama, on 2008-10-11 (source)
