“To: Bob J
I love Palin’s conservatism and patriotism! She may very well support McCain out of loyalty and I have no problem with that. And I have no problem with whom she supports with her PAC. There is nothing written that says she has to do everything (or anything at all) according to JIM.

Sarah is unabashedly pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-family, pro-America, pro-constitution, pro-gun, pro-limited government and so am I. And she’s wildly popular among the God-loving, Liberty-loving folks with whom I choose to associate. In short, she’s a refreshing breath of clean fresh air in an otherwise putrid failure of a RINO infested party.

She represents my interests better than any other viable wannabe at this point and if she decides to run, she will have my undivided support!!

Romney, the draft-dodging, Big Government, lying statist political whore can KMA!!

And your picture does say a 1,000 words, but Bob, unfortunately they’re all about YOU and political whores like you and the results and likely outcome of your slavish, cultish RINOism!!

So you can shove your picture and your RINOs where the sun don’t shine.

Sarah has more guts, talent, ability, patriotism, and sheer determination and love for America and our God-given Liberty than you and Romney and a thousand other RINOS will ever have!

It’s been more than obvious for several years that our pro-Life & Liberty Free Republic has become an embarrassment for you, so why the hell don’t you just take a fricken hike already!!

Shove it, pal.

GET THE HELL OFF FR if you don’t like it, but whatever you do quit your damn whining and pestering good conservative FReepers about your hatred for Sarah Palin!! It’s beyond sickening.

*yawn* can’t believe people even entertain the possibility of Palin doing OTHERWISE...

First off, John McCain did something that far outweighs the accomplishments of most other Republicans serving in D.C. COMBINED: he introduced the world to Sarah Palin.

Knowing everything he did about Bristol being pregnant, about the risks of offending the establishment, etc...he STILL picked her! I don’t care what his true feelings are about how everything has turned out since—for all I know he can’t stand Palin. But the point is: HE PICKED HER and without him, we would not be experiencing the enormously crucial impact she’s having on the course of our nation today.

I believe, even if his campaign staff would have “handled things better,” the media would have still done everything possible to damage and tear her down. It’s not McCain’s fault. There were other forces at work that were simply beyond human control.

And from my perspective: anything that makes one of the most powerful people in the DC establishment more beholden to Palin is a good thing, but that’s just me talking. It’s not like Palin expects anything “in return” from McCain for her support. And for all I know, he won’t endorse her should she run. Who knows. Regardless, she is doing what she is because it is the right and honorable thing to do, not because she has something to gain.

Plus I think it’s ridiculous there is as much hatred on this board towards McCain. You would think he was Obama incarnate or something. Well despite all the disagreements I have with him, at least I can respect him. He’s not the sly, slick, tied-to-special-interests, flip flopper, that someone like ROMNEY is for example. Not to mention, McCain IS a war hero.

And McCain has a very consistent record on the pro-life matters.

AND, even though I’d vote for J.D. Hayworth, it’s not like I find him all that impressive.

On paper.

P.S. s/b 'it's' rather than "its".

You know how badly I want Hayworth to win, I should HOPE. And I want a conservative to win the presidential nomination, someone who can drown out any RINOs. Until someone who is ...

A. more charismatic than Palin
B. more conservative than Palin

I want her in the nomination.

Name someone charismatic enough that Michael Reagan says, “Hi, Dad.”

Sarah Palin seems to have studied Reagan’s rise and is replicating it. Reagan supported Republicans and that means incumbents of stature.

Yes indeed. Even her "common sense Conservative" slogan came from Reagan's 1980 inauguration speech.

She obviously couldn’t handle being governor of Alaska

Not true at all. She was doing great with 80% poll numbers until Obama's minions found a loop-hole in the state ethics law in which to attack, paralyze, and defeat her administration politically, while bankrupting her and her family financially, thus removing her permanently from Obama's threat list.

Their plan was to trap and crush her, and it would have worked had she not had the fortitude to look at all of her options and make the hard decision to not stand her ground as governor, but side-step Obama and to change her ground to a position from which she could actually fight back and do damage.

She has done so and done so brilliantly. The fact that we are all still here talking about this is a testament that her counter-strategy has WORKED! Else, she would have quietly slinked back to Wasilla in disgrace and we would have never heard from her again.

So, here we are.

Bottom line: Failure.

For someone who's a "failure" in your opinion, Sarah Palin has done pretty damned good of late by getting involved in the National debate and being the only Republican of stature to actually hit Obama back and do serious damage to his agenda, i.e. "death panels."

How is that failure?

Hey Boromir, you were name #1 on the original Palin Ping List up until about six weeks ago. I've still got it. Want to see it?

That little slap in Sicily cost the lives of many American soldiers and could have altered the war,

WRONG!

The politically correct fungus infected the military beauracracy even during WWII and used the excuse of the much needed slap to remove someone who was a much better soldier than those desk jockies could ever be. Political jealousies cost the lives of many American soldiers and could have altered the war,...

THERE. FIXED IT. I'M THROUGH shouting now.

To those conservatives who are genuinely disappointed by Sarah Palin's decision to support McCain, let me say that I think Rush and Mark Levin understand it and have said that it is a question of loyalty and that loyalty is a virtue. That makes sense to me and, personally, I would be a little put off if she did otherwise, since it would look like rank ingratitude.

That's because all you people yammering about "loyalty" don't live in Arizona and have to suffer the direct consequences. I'm sick to death of the "Senator from Arizona" being that disgusting man who consistantly stabs republicans and conservatives in the back.

Tell me when I ever held your ping list up like it was the Ten Commandments, on original cut stone.

I'm also the one who suggested a dedicated thread about Palin news, which evolved into the ping list.
Too bad the Teen Beat For Palin acolytes turned it into grade school clique and taunt anyone who even suggests Palin might be human.

Collectively, the current ping list could very well be likened to Kim MacAfee, though I suspect not as attractive.

Gotta run now and order my PIPER For Prez In '44 signs. One "can look at her and see she has politics in her future".

Let's take a little walk down memory road, shall we Mr. Hypocritical Backstabber?

I've come to the irrefutable conclusion that those who begrudge Palin appear to have little use for logic or even common sense.

By campaigning for someone does not mean that Palin espouses all the opinions of that person. If we held candidates up to that litmus test then Reagan would have failed miserably.

Tuesday's spotlight may have deservedly been on Brown, but the radiant glow of Palin's idealism shines on.

She is an American in whose integrity will not be compromised.

Pawlenty, Hunter, Romney, Huckabee, Gingrich, et al, are not fit to shine this lady's shoes.

For Schmidt & Co. to be right about Sarah Palin it would necessitate that Thomas Sowell and Fred Malek are wrong about her.

RESOLUTE!

Her loyal tribe is at her beck and call

Sarah Palin embodies the true spirit of America

Day by day we're witnessing the evolution of our first female President.

I support Palin 100%. Feck the begrudgers.

Will my membership in the cult be terminated or will I be given probation?

For I am convinced that no one is more qualified to be POTUS than Sarah Palin.

And these were only from JANUARY 2010!!! There's a whole lot more before that too, as you well know...

Great post and good point, for two reasons.....

1st you are correct, and second you make a great point....this is probably McCain’s last term, it’s the right thing to do: he brought her to national prominence, and he will be loyal to her as a senator, IMHO.....

Let’s move along, there is nothing here to waste time on.

Riiiight. ‘My’ team isn’t the group that cries about it to the point of not supporting her.
