The best way to communicate with the RNC seems to be voting against their favorites, they certainly don’t listen to any other messages.
I”m actually surprised McCain scored as high as he did.
I’m afraid lost me as an ardent supporter on this one. Her brand is now tarnished.
But Sarah said McCain has changed his ways. Said (on Glenn Beck show FNC) he's not the same progressive he was when she ran with him back when she said he was a conservative in 2008. Could she be wrong??
“Many of us are disappointed in Sarah, who stated unequivocally that she would work to elect conservatives to public office and I communicated my disappointment to SarahPac directly.”
For heaven’s sake,...she’s a politician who was put on the map by McCain, and because she was a class act is paying off the chit.
Donate to Hayworth, work for Hayworth and vote for Hayworth and leave the cannibalism to the liberals.
Sarah has a hall pass on this one.
Lifetime - McCain 82.3%, Hayworth 97.6%
So 82.3% isn’t that bad is it? Sure 97.6% is better but is the 15% worth throwing someone under the bus that has vast amount of seniority/leverage built up on Capitol Hill?
Maybe a little more indepth analysis from other area would document your case better.
Now I’m not for McCain and didn’t support him when he ran against President Bush in 2000 nor in the Primary for 08 but did vote for him in the General.
Though it goes counter to her conservative philosophy it actually makes sense for her. If she had supported Hayworth the media would have been all over her for being disloyal this way she gets credit for being loyal and can’t be accused of being a wild eyed conservative. This doesn’t matter to us here on FR but goes a long way with moderates.
They're still out there taking pot shots.
Palin has lost all credibility as a Conservative.
JD Hayworth and any other challengers from the right like Marco Rubio are doing the country a great service. A vigorous debate on issues fleshes out the best candidates on balance like Pat Toomey did in PA regarding Specter. Who cares who Palin supports in the primary? That’s her business. Let the candidates have at it and make up your own mind.
The real question is do the anti-Dem votes come together after the primary to defeat the Dem machine like Brown did to Coakley or do we stay away or scatter our votes and allow this insane government to go on with out the slightest check. 41 votes in the Senate is hardly a position of power. The Dem jackboot is on our necks. The house has to get flipped at all costs to save the country. We need all the senate votes we can get to restore some small amount of sanity to the government. We need to be smart.
Conservatives have recognized over the last few election cycles that they have to fight two battles: 1) most obviously, the Dims in the general election, and 2) almost as importantly, the Cinos/Rinos in the primaries.
We haven’t done a very good job in the primaries in the past, resulting in Cinos like McCain being elected. The result is Republicans who are more comfortable with Dims than they are with conservatives in their own party.
It’s now time to take the party back, and that means fighting hard in the primaries.
Gee, another gratuitous Palin-bashing pile on thread. This makes how many of them now? Lost count...
Anything new here that hasn’t already been said oin numerous other threads of the same ilk?
No.
The Democrats are playing you guys like violins.

They also show how unlikely it is that Conservatives will maintain political power should they ever acquire it. Idealists eat their own while pragmatists play season after season.
I thank McCain for losing to obama. It might be the best thing he has ever done for his country.
Well, ManHunter, it was a good try. But it looks as though no one can talk about ‘why’ to vote for Hayworth, they just go back into the ‘I supported Sarah, but she’s lost my support’ mode. I wasn’t aware that she was running in this election.
Maybe you shoulda just talked about Hayworth in your opening. That ‘concern troll’ train is chugging.
