The way I look at it, if I lived in Arizona, I would support J.D. Hayworth, but it is up to Sarah who she wants to support. It doesn’t change her. If she tried to please everyone on FR, she would no longer be Sarah.
I support Hayworth and Palin and I was responding more to Joe the Plumber’s whining about his ruined life. In this particular article, he sounded like a big baby.
Well said!
It was a poor choice of words on my part - we do seem to see way too much of the "what have you done for me lately" routine in politics.
The big question is whether Sarah still supports McCain’s position on amnesty. Amnesty is the biggest issue in the primary. It is where McCain is most vulnerable. Joe Arpaio has endorsed Hayworth.
Criticize Palin and voila, you are back in the spotlight!
Sarah said several times durring the campaign that she and McCain disagreed on a number of things but that she was working on him (not that I think McCain would listen). Perhaps amnesty is one of the points she disagrees with him on. I do know from reading her book and from watching her in interviews, etc. that she loves her country and wants what is best for it so my guess is that she is against amnesty. If Sarah is going to run, she has to say as little as possible right now to keep the media from blowing things out of proportion. They are ruthless where she is concerned. I trust her to do the right thing and she will.
That’s all very noble but it won’t gain us the power necessary to turn things around. In your mind even Reagan was a sell out by naming Bush as his VP. It’s thinking like that which will consign conservatism to a minority status permanently.
I think there was probably a better way for Joe to accomplish expressing these feelings.
Joe, it was Obama who scr*wed your life up because you always had the option of saying no to appearing at McCain events!
Gee Joe, I support Ronald Reagan and he ain’t running for president in 2012 either.
I can assure you that the AZ media and the Hayworth and Simcox campaigns are going to pin her down on this issue, which is the biggest one in the campaign and the reason why McCain has become so hated in AZ among conservative Reps. Her answer could well determine the arc of her political career.
Can’t say I disagree, but I’m going to reserve judgment on Sarah. She’s still figuring it out.
I don’t like her supporting Queeg either but she had a poor choice politically there.
Dump Mccain and be called a traitor to the guy who gave her the big start and the media would never ever let that one go and it would humiliate someone who did actually give her the ticket to the majors...something I doubt she wished to do personally.
or support a moderate and piss folks off
Joe should read her book....she is pretty clear that she likes and admires Juan but disagrees with him on some policy and eschews most folks he surrounds himself with.
But she is polite about it.
If McCain had not brought him into the debate he may never have been investigated by dem in Ohio, however, and I think that is his point.. McCain then brought him out to campaign, but didn’t say squat about what the other side was putting Joe through, and he should have if only to show people how dispicable the Obama campaign was.
I've noticed that too. Which is why I've been holding my fire. She may have gotten the message.
That happend here in Ohio before McCain was even involved. It happend the day after he spoke to Obama on the street outside of his home. That was Obama and his supporters at work.
