Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is helping out her former running mate with a high dollar fundraiser at the Arizona Biltmore.
Palin will be courting contributions for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) – the GOP’s 2008 presidential nominee – on March 23 as part of her swing through Arizona to aide his re-election campaign.
For $2,500, McCain donors can attend an hour-long reception with the former GOP vice presidential nominee and get a chance for a picture with Palin.
Those not attending the reception can pay $500 each for a two-hour dinner, or $1,000 for preferred seating.
Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), along with Arizona GOP Reps. Jeff Flake, Trent Franks and John Shadegg will also be at the fundraiser.

JV, I took KDD’s post as agreement on first sight also... turns out he meant it.
She and any other conservative need to maintain stances which are publically disturbing and privately offensive within the political class.
Show me where the GOP platform is NOT conservative.
This "conservative vs. GOP" meme appears to be nothing but a power struggle and not a matter of principle.
Loved it: my favorite post of the day.
The assault has come from the media, and in some cases, they are merely reporting what she is saying and doing, e.g., writing on her palm, performing on TV, etc.
No doubt about it :)
Wow, thanks! Glad to oblige!!
Palin mistakenly supports the RINO McCain. Reagan mistakenly chose the liberal Schweiker, who was more liberal than McCain, and he mistakenly chose the liberal George Bush Sr. to be his VP candidates.
Both Reagan and Palin are correct when they point out that "common" sense is the same thing as conservatism.
When it comes to mistakenly picking RINOS and correctly explaining that conservatism is common "sense", there isn't a dimes worth of difference between the two.
Your misrepresentation of history and a simple logical comparison, fails.
Thanks for thin insights enchilada, but I will stick with the chimichanga.
Over and over and over again.
Over and over and over again
Reagan supported his bad VP picks what? Just one day? Or was it day after day, over and over again?
Don't smear Reagan by comparing him to Palin and McCain. That the same loathsome tactic the the Romney and Giuliani groupies tried.
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- Ronald Reagan
I did nothing of the sort you liar.
I'm going to bookmark your remarks (i.e., your defense of the RINO McCain and your attacks on libertarian conservatives such as myself) at post 270 on this thread for future reference.
Also, for your information, what I wrote at post 258 about McCain (i.e., "...McCain, a pro-bailout, pro-amnesty, pro-cap-and-tax, anti-Constitution, anti-freedom, anti-liberty, anti-POW/MIA, pro-Obama tool.") is entirely truthful and is entirely in line with statements made by the owner of FR, specifically this thread dated 25 Jan. 2010, to wit:
Next time you feel like making stupid statements about the libertarian wing of the conservative movement, try reading up about what those libertarians' core philosophy--i.e., less government interference and more individual freedom and liberty, as a general rule--FIRST, before writing up your rants. You might look less like an idiot and more like a good FReeper as a result.
Well done re: post 513.
McCain is a political chameleon, a man of no principles, who could not even see the clear and present danger that the election of Obama represented.
That is because he was on the same side as Obama.
The whole “Fight with me!” routine was a cruel hoax.
The sum total of the man’s anti-POW/MIA actions was enough to write him off years ago.
Add to that all of things stated in your post, and it is amazing anyone even can defend this cretin.
He can go hug his North Vietnamese torturer again for all I care.

Well Rabs, you just handed another McCainiac troll his ass on a tin platter, nice work.
The Ron Paul Cult makes McCain look like a flaming Right Winger.
Al least he isn’t supporting Marxist Kokesh for congress.
Mac isn’t saying Iran and North Korea isn’t a threat
while Ron Paul votes against condeming Ahmadinejad
who believes the Holocaust and 9/11 were fake.
Ron Paul says , leave Iran alone.
Youtubes are full of Ron Paul’s rants against Israel,
sounding like Ahmadinejad Jr.
Mac may have faults, but doesn’t come close to being the
Neo Leftist Ron Paul and his cult is.
If Ron Paul and his "cult" is as big a problem as you claim, then maybe you should chastise Sarah Palin for endorsing Rand Paul, Ron Paul's son.
After Rand came out with other fringe comments,
Palin hasn’t said anything further about him.
Is amnesty for illegal aliens and Constitutionals right for foreign terrorists in the Republican platform? I don’t think so.
However, the Republican standard bearer in the last election has always promoted those issues. McCain joins with a host of others in a dominant political faction which must be destroyed, if those who want personal freedom and small government are to prosper. If such people were represented within a Republican Party driven by a conservative platform, then the Tea Party movement and Glenn Beck’s 9/12 project would have never gotten traction.
