Disappointed With Sarah, Again
Vanity | 2/4/09

Posted on 02/04/2010 9:35:43 AM PST by dangus

Sarah endorses INCREASING immigration with Glenn Beck:

PALIN: Let me address legal immigration and we need to continue to be so welcoming and inviting of those who are represented there by our Statue of Liberty. The immigrants, of course, built this country. And I think republicans, conservatives are at fault when we allow the other side to capture this immigration issue and try to turn this issue into something negative for republicans. I think we need to recognize that again, immigrants built this great country. There are rules to follow if you want to be a part of this great country. Let's make sure people are following the rules. But let's welcome this.

BECK: Do you agree with me make the door wider and make it easier to bring people in, you know, Bill Gates said, I have a hard time keeping people here because it's so complex. Make, just streamline it and make it easier for people to come in the right way.

PALIN: Every part of bureaucracy needs to be streamlined, absolutely. And people do need to come in the right way. They cannot take advantage of what this country has to offer. The opportunities, the help that is here, they need to do this legally

When Gov. Palin endorsed Sen. John McCain, I was forgiving, because they had been part of a team. But Palin has also endorsed Sen. Lindsey Graham, the man whose hatred for conservatives and grassroots is exceeded in the Republican Party only by Sen. Arlen Specter. Oh, wait...

I'm not saying Gov. Palin is evil, liberal, or statist. But I've been pleading with people to find out what she actually stands for before they stampede to someone based on their personality and/or presence. Maybe she can still be reached, but I'm developing severe concerns we may be on the threshold of lunging headlong to yet another candidate who doesn't represent the conservative viewpoint.

Again, I emphasize she's not necessarily bad, but we should find out exactly how she stands on:

" I think we need to recognize that again, immigrants built this great country. There are rules to follow if you want to be a part of this great country."

People who immigrated here in the past are different from those who arrive now. They came here for a reason. They didn't ask for the rules to be changed for them. They learned the language and worked. Soon some started their own businesses etc., built communities. They weren't looking for hand outs or freebies. They worked for everything they had, and were proud of it.

Those that arrive now get everything handed to them on a silver platter. They know how to work the system. They are following the rules. It's the rules that are messed up.

Meanwhile we are made to feel like foreigners in our own country. We are supposed to cave to their every wish, learn their language etc. We have to adapt to them.

Not the first time! I suggest you get used to it. You’ll be bribed, killed or moved to the ‘reservation’ if you don’t behave! There is not ONE candidate that is ‘approved’ that won’t bring us amnesty and all the chaos that comes with it.

Submit to reality. We are the current indigenous tribe and we are easily replaced.

And don’t forget...”WE ARE A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS!”

Now go learn some Spanish, convert to Islam and shut up and follow the party line!

Go for it. Public domain. I have no idea who I stole it from, so if anyone ask, it wasn’t me. ;-)

You're missing the point. It is not that she is supporting McCain per se, but that she is going back on her word.
She's free to donate to whomever she wishes, just don't smile and claim to espouse "conservative principles" and then turn around and donate some of the cash donated to your PAC, from people who believed you to be truthful and honest, to candidates like McCain.
Whether the retired grandma who donated ten dollars or the young businessman who sent in five thousand, both under the impression it would be used to propagate "conservative principles", each was misled.

Palin is indeed saying all the correct things in regard to the issues, and her history as an elected official lend much credibility that she'd actually remain true to her beliefs if elected to a national office.

Let's be clear though, that Mrs Palin is not the altruistic public servant many once thought, and many still do, believe her to be.
She is a politician, nothing more, nothing less.
She is not another Reagan nor another Jefferson. Those two gentlemen would never have led astray those supporting them.
If SarahPAC desires to be honest its mission statement would be edited to read:

While Sarah Palin often speaks up for and advocates "commonsense conservatism" and a fond regard for the principles established by our Founding Fathers, we at SarahPAC cannot guarantee that some of the money donated will not go to support candidates that may not believe as Sarah Palin does

And to be honest, she might have also initiated her legal defense fund after her book came out and after $ubsequent $peaking engagements she has embarked on.

Bob Dylan has the same problem. Everyone wants him to be what they want him to be. Guess you'll just be unhappy.

She hates that immigrants had anything to do with building America. And she hates Palin.

“what is your mental problem?”

Well, they say doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is certifiable.

So, to answer your insulting question, YES, I’m CRAZY for trying to reason with most people. Most of you refuse to see the obvious. So with that, I’m going to LEAVE.

Wasting time on this nonsense proves I’m nuts! You all stay here and insult each other. We, ‘mental’ people have better things to do.

Twelve years of this is more than enough. BYE!

You’re the one who told me to convert to islam so there’s no reason for you to even consider my comment to you as being insulting.

Don’t do something in a heated moment that you may regret later.

...”WE ARE A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS!”

Some of us were British citizens that moved to a British colony as British colonists, we eventually revolted and created our own nation, and then foreigners immigrated to it as we chose to allow, or not allow them.

Thanks. That’s an update from the FEC containing her 12/31 donations, (due 1/31, but which can take several days to post) which were not yet posted when I wrote what I did. But it’s very interesting to see who she’s supported in the 4th quarter.
