Palin owes McCain for introducing her to the national scene. It’s called loyalty. A higher form of integrity. Also, McCain was the first high profile politician to endorse Scott Brown, again loyalty comes to the surface.
McCain need to take some advice and retire. Pass the baton and enjoy his latter years.
He did not pluck her out of subarctic obscurity as a favor to her. He did it only because he thought it would benefit himself. She owes him NOTHING. Her rise is a result of who she is. There is nothing gracious or classy about supporting the evil that is McCain. There is nothing gracious or classy about contributing to the destruction of our republic, our future, our way of life.
She has NO obligation to advance what she finds to be wrong. Does she find him to be bad for the country? Going rogue, indeed.
Palin owes McCain.....
This loyalty stuff makes me wretch! If she hasn’t heard the stinking ad McCain has been running against JD Hayworth for weeks, already, she’s dumb as a rock.
If her loyalty is to double crosser, pro-amnesty McCain, over the people of AZ and conservatism, her time is up, and she needs to go home.
We’re dumping McCain, and if Sarah gets dumped in the process, tough.
It’s not just Palin and Brown that McCane has given money and support to. He has assisted others and they all owe him. Another freeper said he had five million in his war chest....How many others could or would he help in the fall. I do not particularly want McCane in DC. But there should be some way to have him support others and not use his money against another “R”.
“Palin owes McCain for introducing her to the national scene. It’s called loyalty. A higher form of integrity.”
What about the integrity of showing loyalty to her supporters?
I guess they don’t rate as high as McCain.
she doesn't owe him... she paid her dues to him when she joined his ticket as VP candidate and poured her heart into campaigning--something he didn't even do himself... i think it's funny that when the Bushes show loyalty, they are called weak and RINOs... but when she shows loyalty to a weak RINO, she is showing a higher form of integrity... so two-faced... not her, but the supporters who could never bring themselves to criticize her no matter what... gosh, just like some of Obama's supporters...
Integrity is standing for what you believe in regardless of cost. If Palin is practicing integrity then it must mean that her values and McCain's values are closely aligned. Which means that she is no conservative.
I wonder if Sarah would campaign for Hayworth in the Fall if Hayworth wins the primary. I would hope so.
I have no use for McCain, but I understand Sarah’s decision to endorse him at this point in time.

I absolutely agree with you! Were it someone else other than McCain, people would be saying “How can she stab him in the back like that? Surely she owes him some loyalty.”
I’m reading the book Game Change right now and I can say that the section on Palin really does not show her in a flattering light. It says that when McCain’s staffers wanted her to prep she would sulk, not answer them, seem to be in a stupor, etc. NOT a flattering portrayal and since this book has gone viral and has sold out of all the stores, I’m wondering how many people are reading this about her.
Yes, it portrays the weaknesses of other candidates too: 1. dumb0’s laziness and how he wasn’t sure he wanted to put out the effort to run.
2. McCain’s unwillingness to make tough deicisions and how he put friends like Graham and Lieberman over common sense sometimes...
3. Biden’s verbal diarrhea and the deals he cut with dumb0 to watch his mouth and to avoid being dumped....
BUT many people already realized all these things. The parts on Sarah though, seemed to be in the news earlier but was doubted because it came from insiders on McCain’s campaign. Some of these stories came from people that were FRIENDS of Palin. I think this is going to hurt badly.
Anything Palin owed was written off when McCain stood aside and let his own aides (largely Romney Mittions he was a clueless idiot to bring into his camp in the first place -- although granted that "clueless idiot" is virtually McCains middle name) attempt to destroy Palin.
I tried to be enthusiastic about McCain. I tried my ass off. And I voted for him anyway. But when he made the vomitously earnest appeal to a televised campaign audience that there was "nothing to fear" from an Obama presidency, it was the last straw. Nothing to fear from electing the least experienced and most politically extreme president in all of American history? NOTHING!? Twenty years in an explicitly racist church -- nothing? Multiple, continuous, life long, close or collaborative associations with communists, radicals and other leftist extremists -- nothing? An open arrogance that literally extended to flipping the finger on live television -- nothing?
He's been dead to me since. Were I an Arizonian, I would still hold my nose and vote for him in the general. But anyone with the slightest chance of taking him out at the primary level would have my full support.
Loyalty to a loser is not a sign of integrity. It’s also not great strategy.
It’s not leadership, either.
