Why not? Don’t tell me he’s afraid of Sarah?

JD Hayworth has Sheriff Joe on his side and politics is local. I just don’t think JD has the ‘fire in his belly.’ He’s had the grassroots begging him to run, so something’s holding him back. The loss in his district? Financing? Why not open an exploratory committee? It’s tough to mount a campaign against an entrenched incumbent.

Palin should not get involved in a primary race. Makes no sense for her to support McCain unless John and Cindy offered her big bucks. Shows she has no plans to run for the White House.

I hope he does but it seems the stars are lining up against him right now. He may be the only one that can defeat McCain.

He’s lost weight and he looks good. I’ll donate to his campaign. He just needs to declare. I think he might be amazed by the contributions he’d receive online.

Hopefully this assures us that McCain will back Sarah for President in 2012. Had she not campaigned with him,we might well have read on front pages in 2011, that McCain is not backing Palin for President. McCain will be the one that looks bad if he now fails to endorse her.

It`s not like McCain supports abortion you know!!!! He votes for the right judges (the most important thing) sure he is wrong on lots of other stuff, but he is not a evil man!!

This is absolutely not a surprise, I saw this coming a long time ago, it`s on record in my posts! The backlash she would have received had she not would have been damaging. It also would have seen pretty petty to many on lookers.

I absolutely adore Sarah, she is the best we can hope for, a once in a generation candidate.

Go Sarah

I guess if you call the ER Doctor a bigot; that's you perogative. Having known more than a few in San Antonio; I'd suggest you do some investigation, perhaps swing by the ER some random time, and see what the makeup of the crowd waiting to seek medical attention is. Of those, how many are not in obvious medical distress. The ER is the primary health provider for illegals in Texas and Arizona. The fact is that many hospitals are facing bankruptcy for this very reason. I guess I'm a bigot for noticing.

Here's how it works. At bar 'x' and living near a hospital, you call '911' and demand the ambulance come get you because you twisted your ankle. Get in the ambulance, and then demand to be released when you get near your destination (home, bar, shopping mall, ect.). That is the "Mexican Taxi".

Now, in places like Austin, San Antonio and Houston, there are only so many ambulances in service at any given time. They are dispatched on a first come, first served basis. The ER doctors do keep a log on how many patients are DOA because the amulance was beind used as a taxi. Before you throw the 'bigot' term around, perhaps you ought to look into a few facts, talk to a few ER MD's. It really doesn't take all that long.

If I sneak into North Korea, I can expect 12 yrs of hard labor. Sneak into Saudia Arabia, I can expect to be lashed and imprisoned. Sneak into Mexico, there is no question as to me going to jail. Sneak into America, well, then you can demand free medical, education, housing assistance, welfare and you even get to vote in the next election.

BTW, I know John McCain's name is John; Juan is intended as an insult. Why? Ever heard of the McCain-Kennedy Amnesty Bill? How about how Juan wants our borders left open? Part of the problems we have is Mexico is breaking us. The medical cost and educational cost of illegal aliens is staggering.

Illegal aliens displaced American workers at a cost in excess of $133 billion dollars last year according to Harvard Professor George Borjas.

Source

The latest 'source' is World Net Daily, which I hardly consider an unbiased source, but still the dollar figure for illegal aliens is set at $1.1 Trillion/yr.

If you stayed home and didn’t vote for McCain, then you bear some responsibility for electing Obama, advancing socialism in America, and the emboldened abortionists, thugs, grifters, and corrupt politicians now in power.

Palin lives true conservative values and is loyal to her friends and conservative causes; she was worth supporting then and now.

"It’s been more than obvious for several years that our pro-Life & Liberty Free Republic has become an embarrassment for you, so why the hell don’t you just take a fricken hike already!! "

Amen and Amen!

Yep! JimRob sure has the old fire in his belly stoked to the max...

OTOH, BobJ is a useful RINO troll to have around just as an example of the kind of elitist crap that got us a Marxist scumbag for President in the first place.

Enemies within the GOP, enemies in control of the WH, and enemies foreign....Have to focus on all of them if we hope to bring the Nation back from the brink....

Let's keep BobJ around...He's such an easy mark to kick around from time-to-time...Sort of our own pet rodent...

“Sarah, that obnoxious smell isn’t from you, or your policies - it’s from whom you are associating yourself with.”

My sentiments exactly. This is, after all, Progressive “Juan McCain’ who is pushing for 20 million illegals to come into our country and have voting cards and health benefits.

Wow...haven’t heard that before. Have and will not be against Sarah Palin - just lost a bit of respect for her values. We all can understand why she is doing this but really, that just makes her another politician beholding to Washington politics, now doesn’t it?

She needs to do better in the current anti-government atmosphere...

“Obviously NOBODY will EVER live up to your ideals. You want them to have NOTHING to do with Washington. Well, as soon as they are elected to national office, off to DC they go.”

Actually very few live up to my ideals! Call it the Power or Washington influence. They all seem to become idle brained after a couple years in that environment.

“I guess you think that when McCain offered some encouraging words to Brown, that Brown should have told him to stick it up his behind. And of course when asked to campaign for McCain this year Sarah should have told him “get lost old man, I only campaigned for you in 2008 to further my political goals, not yours”.”

Actually, my real complaint is that after all that campaigning, tired and all, he made time to record robo calls for McCain. Now ain’t that a hoot!

“Yes, what a saint Sarah would be for stabbing McCain in the back. /sarcasm”

Actually, I understand Sarah’s support of McCain and can appreciate it a bit. I did hope that her global political stand for America would have been greater than her “gratefulness” to a politician like McCain. After all, he has campaigned against many of the things that she was against. I guess, it gets down to America and their desires can wait...

“I’m afraid Sarah has some qualities that you aren’t even aware exist or have ever considered. Qualities like honor and loyalty.”

You bet, she has show her loyalty in spades by campaigning for McCain. Yet, in doing that, she has also shown another side to those who believe in America first. Conflicts are common in politics - it just depends on how you resolve them. I have been one of her biggest supporters and actually still am - maybe not quite so enthusiastically though.

Can’t she just do a simple robocall for him and then play “busy” the rest of the year? No fundraisers or appearances, and we would forgive her easily.

Why should she bother? Saint Sarah knows that her worshippers will forgive anything.
