I wish McLame would just go away.... he’s a real McPain...
No chance of that, but if he sticks his foot out, I’d be willing to join a pee party.
There’s the Rep establishment and the populists/ tea party / libertarian wing. Brown won on the independents, but he is not going to hack off the party leadership at this point. They asked for a phone message and he gave one. I’ll bet Sarah Palin backs out if McCain gets into trouble against his Rep primary challenger.
Conservatives need to make an all out push to get rid of McCain in the primaries and Palin should be smarter than this. McCain is so wrong on so many issues that I can’t even accept loyalty to the person as an excuse.
He still wants amnesty for illegals and their exteneded families
Somebody needs to talk sense into Gov. Palin. Campaigning for him is a HUGE mistake.
The Republicans have to tell McCain that it is time for him to step aside and take a supporting role.
McCain is no conservative. Any Tea Party protester knows it is time for him to go. He has over stayed his welcome and ruined the Republican party. I am Sadden by Palin’s decision to support him. If she feels some pact to help him well I don’t agree because she will not be standing by principals to support him.
Here is why McCain is a rino:
McCain/Feingold: McCain fought for and championed this severe restriction on American’s free speech rights. Instead of preventing soft money from controlling elections, all this bill did was to force issue organizations to get creative with their money. This bill limits the ability of citizens, however organized, to exercise their rights to free speech when it comes to elections, and is known as the Incumbency Protection Act.
McCain/Kennedy: The infamous amnesty legislation which would have allowed millions of illegal aliens to remain, as long as they paid back taxes, a fine, and promised to learn English. This plan was dubbed as shamnesty by Michelle Malkin and for good reason. The Congress tried to pass this bill twice, and both times it went down in defeat.
McCain’s Opposition to the Bush Tax Cuts: McCain aligned himself with liberals like Ted Kennedy and Chris Dodd in his opposition to the tax cuts which eventually lead to economic growth the United States experienced before the 07-08 crash after the Democrats took over. McCain used the class warfare language of the Democrats to be against the tax cuts initially. Specifically, he said that they were too expensive and they benefited the rich. His tax cut plan included several increases to business taxes.
McCain’s crusade against Guantanamo: He opposed it being open, favors constitutional rights for terrorists but opposes tough interrogation techniques. He wants to stop water-boarding and does not support most of the tough surveillance and spying techniques used to capture terrorists.
McCain was the Ringleader of the Gang of 14: The Gang of 14 was the term used in describing a bipartisan group of Senators in the 109th United States Congress who successfully negotiated a compromise in the spring of 2005 to avoid the deployment of the nuclear option by Republicans over a filibuster by Senate Democrats. Sen. John McCain used it to win more accolades for going against his party.
McCain is not only not a conservative, but he has gone by the title of maverick by stabbing his party in the back.
McCain does not further any conservative principles but instead betrays them. Former Sen. Rick Santorum, a conservative, has said, “I don’t agree with McCain on hardly any issues.”
McCain delights in sticking it to his party while winning those accolades from the mainstream liberal media.
Democrats implored him to switch teams, as a couple of his advisers, frozen out by the right, actually did. But instead of accepting John Kerry’s offer to become his running mate in 2004, McCain embraced Bush’s re-election effort, but then helped Bush go further left and thus Bush went Rino on us too.
In fact, with both Bushes and McCainiacs at the helm of the Republican party the country was sent away from the Reagan conservative principals of the 80s in a way that should have never been allowed.
The Arlen Specter’s of the world in the Republican party are liberal Trojan horses. McCain is more of a progressive in the style of Teddy Roosevelt. A militant, crusading, reformist, and hostile to concentrated power.
Therefore I can argue that McCain is part of the problem in Washington not the solution. Therefore, I do not think this latest move by Palin is a good one. IF she stumps fpr McCain she goes against her principals. I don’t care who owes what to whom. McCain also blew that 2008 election and he even hurt Palin’s chances to help him win. So McCain is the kiss of death. Especially when there will be at least one person against him in the primary in J.D. Hayworth.
We shall see how it goes, but this decision by Palin flies in the face of all she has stood for. I do hope she can change her mind and either stay out of the race or wait till the primary is over. McCain is bound to lose and then what will that do to Palin?
