PALIN: The point here is that Senator McCain and I agree on the big picture, where it is that the country needs to go. There are so many challenges facing America right now, and Senator McCain has been on the right track trying to get the country back on that track that will lead to more prosperity, more security for this nation. We agree on those things that have to take place in order for us to kind of undo some of the things that Obama is doing and get us back on that right track towards prosperity and security.

PALIN: Absolutely. And that's why we're making a point to point out that Tea Party leaders are not opposing John McCain. They're supporting his mission, too, and that's to rein in the growth of government. Tea Party -- tea partiers, bottom line, are saying, We're taxed enough already, and that's what John McCain is saying, too.
I'm proud to be part of the Tea Party movement. I'm wearing my Tea Party necklace today, even. I was proud to get to point out Tea Party movement participants in the crowd today. They're here cheering on John McCain because they know, at the end of the day, we're all fighting for the same thing. We're fighting for the future of this great country. So he is part of the Tea Party movement. And yes, they're going to be very impacting. They're going to be impacting for John.

Didn’t McLame say that this country has nothing to fear in Barry? Big Picture, Pelosi’s a$$.
This RINO train must be derailed, no matter who is on board.
Yes, and in 2004 he said publicly that he has no problem with the Democrat Party or their philosophy.
Going Rogue = Compassionate Conservatism
“Hayworth would have my vote if I lived in Arizona, simply because he’s in favor of enforcing immigration law.”
Understandable. A person who is stubbornly wrong on one issue is likely wrong on many others and might be hiding something. If you have an issue down pat, it’s a great way to gain insight.
I have a former liberal friend now confused about the “evil” supreme court for upholding free speech. He knows too little about the issue and passes judgment anyway.
She just lost my support. I am glad that I didn’t donate to SarahPAC.
YES!!

I have a similar friend, except he's not formally liberal. He's currently liberal, getting more so by the day.
The worst thing about his outrage at McCain-Feingold being thrown out is that he argues that corporations can't have free speech because they are a collection of people, not a person.
I asked, "do union members have the right to speak to the government"? His answer: Of course! Because they represent the collective.
So do corporations, I remind him. And I ask: "are you saying that out society suffers from too many informed ideas and too many voices?"
He has no answer. He's a college professor, by the way. Liberals very rarely seem to tolerate free speech when they don't agree with it.
My former liberal friend, while not a professor, might be smarter than that. His fear is more about the fungibility of multi-national corporations having influence. According to the best legal minds, that’s not the case.
