What double standard is that. I didn’t even PRETEND to appreciate Hunter’s endorsement of Huck, eventhough it was marginally preferable to Mccain and Flipper.
And trust me, if Hunter ever endorses a RINO in a primary with a conservative still in it, I won’t be pretending suddenly that said RINO is a conservative.
It is Precious’ minions that have the double standards.
Amen. BVP is the nothing but the Ministry of Virtue and Vice crowd hawking their social(ist) issues and posing as conservatives.

Excerpt:
The Protecters of the Palin Brand
“A lot of people may be able to overlook the campaign, because the McCain team was calling the shots,” said one D.C.-based source familiar with Palin’s political operation. “But even since the election she has not been served well by her inner circle. Going forward, there needs to be a seamless operation if they want to position her as a serious contender for 2012.”
So, who are the figures charged with guiding Palin’s political image in Washington? Here’s the lineup based on our conversations with informed strategists.
John Coale: Coale, a well-known Washington lawyer and the husband of Fox News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren, drew national media attention when he endorsed Sen. John McCain’s presidential bid in protest of the way in which Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who he backed in the primary, was treated. Coale, in an interview with the Fix, described himself simply as a “friend” of the Alaska governor but acknowledged that he suggested she start a leadership PAC and helped her navigate through some of the questions surrounding her family that lingered after the campaign. Others familiar with Palin’s political team insist that Coale has far more power than he is letting on — essentially helping to run Sarah PAC. Coale demurred on that front, noting only that he talks to Palin regularly and that she is a “fascinating person” who is “definitely not what the right thinks or the left thinks.”
Meg Stapleton: Stapleton serves as the Alaska spokeswoman for Sarah PAC after having played a similar role for the governor during the vice presidential campaign and in the governor’s office. Stapleton has been the lead defender of Palin from barbs thrown at her — often from those allied with McCain — in the aftermath of the 2008 campaign and, generally, wins positive reviews from Washington insiders not directly allied with the governor.
Pam Pryor: Pryor is the Washington spokesperson for Sarah PAC after serving as a senior adviser to the Republican National Committee during last year’s general election campaign. Pryor has previously served in a variety of political jobs in Washington including as press secretary and chief of staff to former Oklahoma Rep. J.C. Watts.
Becki Donatelli: Donatelli, as we reported a few weeks ago, is officially running Sarah PAC. She is the chairman of Campaign Solutions, a fundraising and Internet strategy firm based in Virginia.
That site says nothing but supposition at best.
C'mon Pissant. The fricking Chicago Cubs would have came back from behind to take the lead over Crist if they were running against him.
Doesn’t matter why you post them. They are in the news so we BOTH posted them. I saw her denial at the debate and it looks to me she is lying. Just my opinion, of course.
Yours are for the ages, pissant.
Sarah has two bad endorsements, two: McCain and Fiorina. That's it.
DeMint has as many or more, Huckabee has as many or more, Hunter has as many or more.
And Hunter did endorse a RINO in a primary: Huckabee.
That’s why Charlie Crist in a skirt is leading in CA and Charlie Crist in Cowboy boots won in Texas and Charlie Crist with a Bible won in Indiana?
I know Terry Branstad. My relatives worked for Branstad. His original retirement was the worst thing that could have happened to Iowa.
Now Culver, the current governor, has signed into law gay marriage, increased taxes, and they are in trouble with the budget - basically undoing everything Branstad did as governor.
Iowa has to go back Republican. Branstad gives them the best chance of it, which will take away electoral votes in 2012 from Odummy.
and Joe Miller has a major background starting with West Point to Federal Judge
Old news.
Meg Stapleton stepped down late last year.
Becki Donatelli: was fired.
The web operations were moved to AK.
Jim “Grahamnest-Romney” DeMint isn’t running.
He has publicly contemplated who he will endorse for 2012. His top selections are Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and Mitch Daniels.

Your term Precious for Sarah is telling about you and your lack of adulthood.
Of course some are supporting MITT, but yes...its not hard to see SC - make or break for most candidates NM -West primary where Mitt is looking to gain primary votes with Utah..etc and now Iowa...where she is the favorite to win other than Huckabee, the guy was going to win this Gov primary nomination, so Sarah jump to endorse him after it was clear he was going to win, all of these holy FR’s talk about being this or that in politics but if i want to block mitt and huck from winning, i appove any means except for personal dirty politics against them
Consider it a term of endearment.
In case you can’t get enough of Sarah Palin, there’s an episode of Mall Cop on TLC right now, featuring her booksigning visit to Mall of America in Minneapolis, last December.
Meg Stapleton is not working for her but back with her very young child.
Greta and her husband have done much to expose Obama.
I have Greta on now and is interviewing the AZ Gov.
Greta has on more Conservatives than the other programs on FOX
She was the best early on exposing Rev. Wright.
Branstad is a solid Conservative and an ACCOMPLISHED Governor.
Some guy who declares himself for every election cycle and can't even raise a pittance each time runs and all of the sudden something’s wrong with Branstad.
I'll take Terry ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.
Branstad has been savaged by an alliance of a bunch of RATS masquerading as a conservative group blasting Branstad and the VP people are using the RATs' talking points. They're in it together. The VP people must think the RATs like them when what is really happening is the RATs are scared to death of Branstad and trying to throw the primary to VP because he will be the easiest one to beat in Nov.
As far as I know, the polling is going very favorably for Branstad so for all the dirty work between the RATS, VP and the free publicity by the wacko radio talk show host on WHO daily, Branstad must have endurance.
Both Branstad and VP had events today in Jefferson. Branstad had twice as many at his event as VP.
