I am amazed that so many on this board seem willing to throw anyone and everyone overboard for any or no reason at all. We have gone a long way (and the wrong way) if the search for “conservative values” in a candidate has morphed into a requirements for absolute ideological purity in one’s associations - despite having personal ties to the individual.
I have been accused of being a “purist” or “hundred percenter” for stating that there is a minimum level of conservatism for a candidate to garner my support. It appears that my seventy percent requirement is at least twenty-five percent lower than many people on this forum.
Sarah is not an elected official right now though. She's a private citizen.
This isn't the same as Bush campaigning for Specter.
+1
Is this an example of Dims “divide and conquer” strategy?
Medina would be about as bad as Obama.
Methinks DeMint is gearing up for a run.
Right now, the two other Conservative options, Hayworth and Shaddig have not officially even filed.
That’s correct. I think the last day for filing is May 26 with the primary Aug. 24, so why the rush to endorse so early on? My opinion, it is/was an attempt to shut out the filing by other candidates. If so that is a very poor reason.
Just a nutty conspiracy theory, but she actually hasn’t made any campaign appearances yet.
What would happen if she campaigns for McCain in the same manner as he campaigned for president.
Think about it...
:->
Correct.
What a disheartening situation. It’s almost impossible to convey how much respect I lost for her when she endorsed that bastard.
The fact is, they were cleared.
If you want to take the liberal tactic of portraying them as "tainted", that's your decision but the bottom line matters.
18,432 people like this.
2556 people expressed their views of dislike....I’ve been watching this thread of hers since it was posted. People also get on her new threads with anti-McCain rhetoric. They are not trolls
?
(plus one what?)
Do I like that she supports McCain? No. There may very well be a reason that she is and we don't know it.
Instead of complaining about Palin, they need to support McCains opposition.
Kind of like saying ditto.
A lot of other forums have ways of voting up comments, that is what it is from.
Like I said, the Dems just issued a memo on how to split the GOP. Watch what happens during the AZ primary. You're going to see flattering puff pieces written on how Sarah has "moderated" and "moved to the middle" by supporting McCain. All of it is designed to tick conservatives off and alienate her from the base. American Thinker and other blogs are already running with it.
Yep exactly.
Yes and it's a lemming stampede. Palin scares the left. They need to stop her NOW.
When the story comes from the Atlanta Constipation, you can be sure she didn’t fall on her sword. She honored an earlier promise. This is what we can expect to be the drum beat of left for the next year. Good Luck with that.
