What a bizarre example, Governor Palin was McCain’s choice for vice president and shared the 2010 republican ticket with him.
If Palin had not endorsed him it would have destroyed her and the tea party’s great victory in the 2010 election, as the republican party had historic success.
Rand Paul on the other hand is just more and more rino/libertarian like. It is revealing that a Paul supporter would go after Governor Palin, remember that one reason Paul is in the Senate, is Sarah Palin endorsing him in 2010.

March, 2013—”Rand Paul endorses Mitch McConnell in 2014 Senate race, won’t back tea party challenge”
They shared the 2008 ticket of course.
McCain had a conservative challenger in the primary. Most, if not all, of us supported him. Sarah came in and endorsed the Establishment candidate against the conservative challenger. She gets a pass.
Yet when Rand Paul endorses his Senate colleague (who was the Establishment candidate facing a conservative challenger), it proves he's unprincipled and not acceptable. Do you not see the double standard?
His endorsement of Ditch was discouraging, but not fatal. He has stood up for many of our causes in the Senate. Look at the whole record.
