Do we really have to have this discussion every 5 minutes after someone finds a story about Palin supporting McCain and posts it?

It's completely idiotic to think that she wouldn't support McCain. HE IS the one who selected her to be HIS VP. She accepted that nomination. Ask yourself how in the world could she say "Yes, I support your run for the White House so much that I'll agree to be your VP" and then turn around and say "but I can't support you to be a Senator". That would be uttertly non-sensical and the press would tear her apart, and rightly so. It would expose her as someone who agreed to be JM's VP nominee ONLY because what it would do for her and NOT because she believed in him or his campaign. Honestly, I don't know what some of you are thinking (or maybe drinking). You LOVED her as McCain's VP nominee, but now you hate her because she's simply endorsing the very same guy in a Senate race? It's the only logical, consistent thing for her to do in this instance.

And some of you want to stomp your feet and whine "she's no Reagan!" Give me a break. Reagan WAS a conservative, but anybody here who says every decision Reagan made was a conservative one doesn't have a clue of what they are talking about. Just look at who he picked as his VP!

Those of you saying Palin's just doing this for "political expediency" and then in the next breath scream "this is gonna hurt her!" really need to make up your mind. Which is it? Is she doing this for selfish reasons to help herself? Or is she hurting herself? I love you political back-seat drivers. You are no better than the MSM who say "this is gonna hurt her!" every time she breathes. So far Sarah Palin has proven her detractors wrong at just about every turn. If I have to put my money on her or some second-guessers on this board, I'll push all of my chips on to Sarah's square.

It's amazing that some of you still don't understand Sarah Palin. First of all, she is not a typical politician. Can you for once allow that to sink into your skulls? When she does something, she does it because she believes it's the RIGHT THING TO DO. SHE DOESN'T CARE IF IT'S THE POLITICALLY "SMART" THING TO DO. I'd say her instincts have served her pretty well thus far.

For Pete's sake, Jon Stewart of Comedy Central finally understands Sarah Palin better than some of you.

She is NOT running for President right now. Do you get it? SHE DOESN'T CARE IF THIS "HURTS" HER. How many different ways does it need to be said? If you to say to her "Gee, Sarah, supporting McCain is really going to hurt you 'politically'", I'm sure her response would be something like it was when people said the same about her resignation as governor of Alaska: "IF I DIE POLITICALLY, THEN I DIE".

Again, Palin is doing what she believes is the RIGHT thing to do. Is that a concept that some of who don't understand? She believes in LOYALTY. She thinks highly of McCain, and I'm sorry some of you don't like that, but she's not going to throw him aside now just because some of you think that it would be the "smart" thing to do.

Is McCain a great conservative? No, too many times he's been on the wrong side, although he's done fairly well fighting against Obama since the current administration took over. Is JD Hayworth a perfect conservative? No! Big on pork, and he pandered to "birthers" while on the radio, but is more than happy to throw them under the bus when his campaign starts.

So, for those of you ready to cast Palin aside because she's not a pure-enough conservative for you, just remember that Reagan and Hayworth aren't "pure conservatives" either by your own litmus test.

And if McCain is so awful, horrible, and evil, why did Hayworth support him in 2000 AND 2008 for PRESIDENT, and why has Hayworth already said he would support McCain in the general election if McCain wins the primary?

So, the question is, why would you hold Sarah Palin up to a higher standard than Reagan or Hayworth?

On second thought, maybe we should keep posting these "Palin supports McCain" stories every 5 minutes, so those who just can't seem to understand it might start to catch on.

Somehow I think you are obsessing much more over this McCain endorsement than Palin is. Palin is out speaking to right-to-life groups, and she has been in Canada talking about energy development. Sarah has been busy and the McCain campaign has been a footnote. Sarah has done a lot of good for the conservative movement this year.

[Sarah-bot]

“Hayworth already said he would support McCain in the general election if McCain wins the primary? “ I didn’t know Hayworth said that. I feel a little better about Hayworth over that. I thought the campaign was getting ugly. I will see if Hayworth keeps his word on that issue and I will base any future support on Hayworth’s gracious concession, provide Hayworth losses. If Hayworth wins McCain better show some class.

[Jemian]

Thank you. But I will not be attending.

I must wash my hair that night.

[Former War Criminal]

Bravo!

LOYALTY - great point

“back seat drivers” - not so great.

I click on to these posts to keep me awake through the night. I have to get ready for work at 5am.

[theanchoragedailyruse]

She was hedging her bets before McCain picked her. That is a fact.

The people in Alaska put her in the position of Governor and now she is choosing a candidate who is against everything about Alaska so save your B.S. enabling storyline because if Hayworth loses to the POS you Sarahbots can take some of the balme along with Palin.

So Palin should have never been his running mate, right? And now if Hayworth loses it's who's fault? Here's a clue for you...if Hayworth loses it will be HIS fault and nobody else's. Endorsements don't win a campaign. I'll clue you in on something else. Regardless of who wins the Arizona Senate primary, if Palin runs for President, she will carry Alaska in the primary and general election. LOL

[Former War Criminal]

I think I understand your rant.

[theanchoragedailyruse]

Here is a clue, Palin won’t get the primary win in Alaska.

She burned too many bridges and that is a fact so get over yourself on what you know about Palin.

Unlike yourself who is a johnny-come-lately I have followed Palin for some time.

And yes she should have never accpeted. But when asked about who she would vote for in the primary, McCain was on her list, so this idea of being loyal to McCain because he picked her is foolish.

She hedged her bets by not making a clear choice during the Republican primary. She kept it to herself.

Nice try on the endorsemnts because some of you Sarahbots are playing coy with your real feelings on hoping McCain wins to make your point on Sarah Palin’s ability to endorse winners.

[GLDNGUN]

“back seat drivers” - not so great.

The point is that it is hysterically funny to see people post "Oh, this is gonna hurt her!". Sarah Palin hears that every day when she gets out of bed. Yet, some way, some how she seems to not just survive, but thrive. Right now, she's the GOP front runner for 2012. Golly, she must be doing something right. Yet, we have all of these people here wringing their hands and making the same exact mistake the MSM makes all the time with their "well, she's blown it now!" line.

There is absolutely no logic to the argument that supporting McCain will hurt her. Who would it hurt her with? Conservatives supposedly. Okey-dokey. Do they mean the very same conservatives that fell in love with her when she was John McCain's running mate? ROFL

Seriously. You people that hate Palin for backing McCain in this race, ask yourself - which would be worse for the country - McCain as President or McCain as a Senator from Arizona? I'm sure all of you would say it would be much worse for the country to have McCain as President than just a Senator. Ok...so you loved her when she wanted McCain to be President so much that she agreed to be his VP and nearly got him elected...but now hate her because she's dropping in to make an appearance for his Senate race?

WACKED.

[ajay_kumar]

Sarah Palin is a McCain supporter! WOW...and every one here thinks she is against Amnesty!

[rabscuttle385]

which would be worse for the country - McCain as President or McCain as a Senator from Arizona?

Neither.

McCain should be in a straitjacket in a mental hospital.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

It’s just gotten a little harder to support her, I admit.

[GLDNGUN]

Here is a clue, Palin won’t get the primary win in Alaska.

Well, you just ruined any credibility you had right there, but for humor sake, please tell us who would beat her? And while you are at it, maybe you can tell us who carried Alaska in the last Presidential election? McCain/Palin of course crushed Obama/Biden, while the other GOP candidates involved in statewide races were involved in very close races in an obviously very strong election for democrats.

But when asked about who she would vote for in the primary, McCain was on her list, so this idea of being loyal to McCain because he picked her is foolish.

Uh, no, actually it's not. So she didn't endorse anyone in the primary. Big whoop-de-doo. McCain tabbed for his VP nominee, she accepted, and obviously got to know him much better during the campaign. She's developed a strong, personal relationship with him. You don't understand that? Baffling. Nice try on the endorsemnts because some of you Sarahbots are playing coy with your real feelings on hoping McCain wins to make your point on Sarah Palin’s ability to endorse winners.

No, I can actually chew gum and walk at the same time. I understand why Palin is supporting McCain. As I explained before, it would make no sense whatsoever for her to do otherwise. I get it. Now, does that mean I hope McCain wins? No, I hope Hayworth wins. If I lived in Arizona I would vote for Hayworth, but that does not mean I think any less of Palin. Having said that, I don't think Hayworth is quite the perfect conservative that some make him out to be. And if he's elected he better be cleaner than clean.

[GLDNGUN]

Neither. McCain should be in a straitjacket in a mental hospital.

Well, being "cute" is one way to avoid answering the question. The fact is, he DID run for President and he IS running for the US Senate.

[chilltherats]

I don’t think she’ll ever run for prez. I’m beginning to think that Sarah is a good talker who’s all about Sarah. I’m beginning to think we’re a bunch of suckers.

[rabscuttle385]

Well, being "cute" is one way to avoid answering the question.

Being cute, eh?

*snicker*

Asking whether one would prefer McCain in the White House or McCain on Capitol Hill is like asking whether one would prefer to bleed to death or suffocate to death. Either way they end up dead.

[chilltherats]

When I first heard she was officially supporting McShame, I figured she probably just felt like she owed him something and would do the minimum. But she’s been all over the place for him. I no longer trust her and she will probably not get my vote in a primary should that occasion ever arise. That’s not to say I think she’s a total phoney and doesn’t believe what she says, but I’m beginning to think Sarah is more about Sarah and that her being about the people and doing the right thing for the country is taking a back seat. I think she’s experienced a sea change in her priorities.

Yawn.
