while it’s indisputable that McCain alternates between being merely unreliable and actively antagonistic, i don’t understand what some of the people bashing Palin for this are thinking.
Didn’t she campaign for him for President just a year and a half ago? She thought he was qualified to be president, but not a senator? Is the idea that she was lying the entire time, just to get herself elected, and she actually thought McCain was an incompetent boob?
Seriously... Some people go out of their way to be angry about things. If Palin thought McCain would make a good president, she certainly thinks he’d make a good senator.
Whether or not anyone agrees with her, at least she’s consistent.
The lady must be doin' something right.
So then, Obama's low approval ratings are due in part to Sarah's criticism of Obama, right?
I could give more examples of course.
Likely one of the first questions she'd be asked by the lamestream media come 2012.
She’s a good populist. She isn’t so strong as a conservative.
I know why people don’t like this but geez, who are the “perfect” candidates across the country? There are none. Just the other night I saw negative posts about Thume and thought oh no here we go again. McCain is not going to be a deciding vote on anything, he does have some good qualities. Palin’s doing more than anyone else is and we can expect we’re not going to agree on everything.
Shep showed more of the rally tape on his program and Cindy looked even nastier in that little bit of tape, if she keeps it up, JD will roll into August in great shape, as his wife is this cute little thing who is always smiling.
It has so disheartened me to see Sarah Palin endorse McCain.
Reminds me of the backroom deals to get the Dems to vote for healthcare. I am hurting right now. My hero is falling from grace.
Me too and I read that a lot of people left today as soon as Palin stopped speaking... I think it’s telling JD went up in double digits in a month against McCain.. we just need to get money to JD.
Obviously your mind's made up. So is mine. Let's call it a day.
You need to at least add EV to your ping since you are talking about EV.
You may not agree with EV, but EV should be given a chance to answer to you.
I do not think EV has been anything but consistent since I have been posting here.
LOL. I think Cindy wanted him to retire and still does. :)
I disagree.
One could think that McCain would make a better president than Obama and still think that JD would make a better senator than McCain. In fact a lot of people feel that way.
Sarah's endorsement is simply a mistake.
BTW. I am listening to TGO and he endorsed (again) and talked about JD just a few minutes ago.
I also find it interesting that JD raised over $130k today. The attention McCain is getting is also making people realize this is a close race.
2008 all over again. Let’s just hope it doesn’t have the same outcome.
“One could think that McCain would make a better president than Obama and still think that JD would make a better senator than McCain. In fact a lot of people feel that way.”
If you can demonstrate that Palin said people should vote for McCain just because he would be better than Obama, and not because she thought he would be a good president, I will concede the point.
What I recall, is that she constantly built him up. Just as she’s doing now.
The people who have become disgusted with her seem to be of the line of thought that she was lying about supporting McCain during the presidential run, and should now come clean and admit she thinks he should be kicked out. It requires believing that her words and actions in the presidential campaign were one big fraud, and I’m not quite prepared to make that leap.
But people have always had crazy, unrealistic expectations of her, and held her up to ridiculous standards, and found every opportunity they could to bash her. It’s tired.
I won’t ping EV for a very simple reason, I’m talking about him behind his back on a public forum.
Sarah has lost my vote.
