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.

“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.

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.

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.
