Palin vs. McCain: Palin Insider Names Names
Regular Folks United ^ | November 6, 2008 | Kerri Houston Toloczko

News has been circulating around GOP insiders for weeks that McCain campaign honchos Rick Davis and Steve Schmidt were planning to blame Sarah Palin for McCain’s loss. This was expected to be an effort to punt the blame for their own failures to the side of the ticket that was most popular with the base, attracted the largest rally crowds, and scared the living bejeepers out of the opposing party.

I know some Baptist and PCA members who wouldn’t vote for her because she is a woman. Even after pleas to remember Esther and Deborah, they still said no.

1. I'll call BS on this.

In case it isn't BS.

2. You should have reminded them that James Dobson is supporting the Republican ticket for one reason: Palin is on the ticket.

3. You need to give them a Bible lesson. Women are prohibited from holding a leadership position IN THE CHURCH. There is nothing, NOT ONE WORD, about women being prohibited from being in secular ledarship positions.

He didn’t have to pick her, did he? He did and he constantly defended her against attacks (as recently as the day before)...direct your hatred somewhere else. How about to the real culprit who lost this election for the GOP: George W(orse) Bush!

Are you insane? He picked her because he knew she would help him. Everything that McCain does is to help himself. PS...George Bush wasn't running in this election. He kept a very low profile...just admit your guy is a BIG LOSER!

Palin scares the poop out of the left. I really really hope she makes a run for the top of the ticket in ‘12.

It's not just the left.
It's the "ol' boys'" network and the entrenched RINOs, too. They were all scared poopless.
They knew that hers wasn't merely talk. She has done the walk.

Of course this should come as no surprise. Having the GOP be the Eunuch's club since the mid 90s was no accident. Hillary's FBI files may have played a role, but, regardless, the result was the atmosphere of "going along to get along", bipartisanship or whatever name you give to the criminal enterprise.

Naming names is long overdue...

TheDon —

You’re right. Except for one MAJOR thing. He didn’t flame “the Pubs.” You wrongly accused him and assumed he attacked the Pubs. He didn’t. He was defending a Pub: Palin. He can take the heat, no doubt, when heat needs to be taken. But what bothers me is that some folks take it upon themselves to be the oven when there is no cause.

Flame on for all the newbs that DO come in here trolling, trying to start trouble. Fine. But when you have someone who tries to show he’s taking a stand for one of our own and you paint him as a Brownshirt??? Really. That’s really jumping the gun. It’s not like he said, “screw the whole lot.. I’m gonna be a DUmmie from now on....” Had that been the case, then I would have most likely saved you the trouble of lighting him up. :D But, he didn’t.

Let’s not scare folks off wrongly. Just my $0.02.

and he came to the aid of obammy in 15 minutes when a campaign aid used obammy’s middle name hussein.

And about 15 miliseconds after a supporter referred to the "muslim" candidate. I just winced and bore it...

Sarah Palin has proved she can do what it takes.

I will crawl over broken glass for her gladly.

I can’t wait, hope I make it.

They better not even think of throwing Sarah Palin under the bus! Without her, John McShame would have made an even bigger fool of himself than he did.

McCain has thrown himself under the bus by his silence.

I convinced myself I was going to vote my principals, and write in Duncan Hunter, even after hearing all the wasted vote crap. Sarah changed my mind. I thought a vote for McCain/Palin would help set her up for '12 or '16.

I guess I wasted my vote after all. Sarah stood tall no matter what, and McCain has proven he is not honorable.

Was so nice to have someone to vote FOR, rather than just to vote against the commie!

BS. He bought the election. There should be criminal charges for such things. With the nation in a financial crisis, created or not, his taking 600 million from people is just plain obscene! That amount is almost equal to the bailout!

He should be in the process of returning all he hasn't used. Taking that much money from a broken economy is irresponsible at best. Especially when a lot of it probably came from our tax dollars via welfare payments. Those are the type that supported him the strongest. Those, and minimum wage earners who could not afford it. But they were so spell bound their contributions probably came before their rent or mortgage.

He never has been honorable. Look what he did to his first wife.

McCain got a big boost from Democrat crossover voters in the Republican primaries.

That's only fair.
In California I voted for Obama in the primaries, knowing that in a clean election, with his ideological baggage, he didn't stand a chance.

That, and to eliminate the smarmy Wicked Witch of the West.

WOW... Rick Davis and Steve Schmidt? I admit I just skimmed this, but will investigate further to learn the details.

Thank you so much for providing that link. We contributed to McCain/Palin (once he named Sarah Palin). I think I might demand our $$ back as well.

Just wow...

Or maybe it means McCain/Palin was such a strong candidate Obama could only win with the deck stacked in his favor including "8 times the money."

You have got to be kidding, right?

NOWHERE was McCain ever considered a strong candidate and he would have sunken if not for Palin. Look at vote totals and tell me he was strong.

McCain is not to blame here.

Absolutely is. He ran a poor campaign and wasnt even the favorite Republican candidiate, just the one left standing. He was the problem and his organization was to blame. That means him.
