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.

Sarah's announcement is causing the Mittbots to snivel and squeal like so many panicky Ned Beattys, a la Deliverance.

She must know that.

If she wants to campaign for conservative Democrats and independents I am fine with that. Live and let live. If she wants to run for POTUS as an independent - no way. She will just split the vote.

“It’s getting hard sometimes to tell the difference between democrats and republicans.”

Not a single GOP house member voted for the stimulus either time it came to a vote. Not ONE. Many, many, MANY Democrats did.

It’s not 2006 anymore.

So?

How many of them voted for the TARP bailouts?

[The answer is forty-seven.]

Mitt Romney is a brilliant businessman and no amount of misdirection can take that away from him.

>> oh please...do you really think Zell Miller would stand with Obama? <<

Well, he had no problem standing with McGovern, Carter, and Clinton. Oh and when the Senate was split 50-50 and Zell's one vote could have canceled out Jumpin' Jim Jeffords, Zell voted to hand the reigns of power over to Daschle. Zig Zag Zell never acted like a reliable "conservative" his entire career, until the very end he wasn't running for re-election as a RAT. I call that profiles in cowardice.

Um...

He loses 45 Million +/- on a failed campaign and even today gives the fiasco that is his beloved Romneycare, a “solution” that is so bankrupt it needed 800 Million in federal funds to save it, a GRADE A!

You are very right, no amount of “misdirection” can take anything away from him, but the truth sure tends to bite poor Willard in the arse...

re: “she will crush them”

Disclaimer: I am not supporting anyone for President at this time - it’s way to early to see how things will develop. This is just fer grins...

Interview question:

Andrea Mitchell - “Sarah, what is best in life?”

Sara Palin, aka Red Sara: - “To crush your political enemies, to see them driven before you. To listen to the lamentations of the media...”

I voted for McCain simply because of Sarah and even have a sticker on our van right now that says “Don't blame me, I voted for Sarah!”

That being said, I feel Blue Dogs in conservatives districts would gladly accept Sarah's help, over their competition. Nancy Pelosi would maybe think it's a great idea, because them winning as democrats, keep her majority and her running the agenda. 255 congressman voted for Pelosi as speaker the last time. Wonder how many of them are “conservative” Blue Dogs who cast their vote for Pelosi leadership?

Hate Cap and Trade? Blue Dogs enable Pelosi and Obama to bring it up. Hate Obamacare? Blue Dogs enable Pelosi and Obama to bring it up. RINOs like the looney sisters in Maine can't do anything to make Mitch McConnell bring up anything, if that incompetent boob happened upon Majority Leader.

Blue Dogs are the devil incarnate and Sarah had better stay away!!
