Declaring that she “was honored and proud to run with him,” former Alaska governor Sarah Palin pushed back hard Wednesday against a report that she had disrespected Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) by blacking out his name on a sun visor she wore on vacation.
The website TMZ accused Palin of “a frontal attack on Sen. John McCain” during a Hawaii vacation this week: “Sarah chose to wear a visor from her campaign -- a visor that was emblazoned with the former presidential candidate's name ... that is, until Palin redacted McCain's name with a black marker.”
But Palin said in a statement to POLITICO that she was just trying to “be incognito” -- to go unrecognized and shield her children and husband, Todd, from paparazzi.
The hotel where she was staying had to chase away five photographers, a friend said.
Palin said in the statement to POLITICO: “I am so sorry if people took this silly incident the wrong way. I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago. So much for trying to be incognito."
The Palins were taking a break from a three-and-a-half-week book tour for her million-copy-selling memoir, “Going Rogue: An American Life.” Palin has signed more than 59,000 books -- an average of 1,750 per stop -- and has traveled more than 19,000 miles by plane and bus. She has spent 115 hours -- or 4.8 days -- signing books in 33 cities in 25 states. Her stops have included five military bases.

For all our sakes, I sincerely hope you're right.
I agree. Thank God.
I’m not convinced she’s going to lift a finger to support him in 2010 either. I just hope that pans out to be true.
You do realize you are wasting your time.
Just want to make sure you are doing this for fun, not expecting a conclusion.
“This is a pro-Palin conservative site. The majority here are in agreement with me on this. You are the odd man out. Slither back to DU or the Ron Paul forums or whatever rock you crawled out from under. “
I give you 2 weeks before you are zotted, Mr. RINO, pro- amnesty retread troll.
You’re as dumb as rocks.
You don’t know the difference between opinions and facts.
A real credit to the PDS gang.
Yeah all in good fun, except the one who it is addressed to could learn alot from it.
They should be doing there homework.
“I have stated that Palin made a mistake. You have stated that she has been politically savvy and wise.”
If you wish to state, that neither of these statements is true, then be my guest.
Otherwise, one of these statements is true, and once again you have not been able to avoid reality.
“I have stated that Palin made a mistake. You have stated that she has been politically savvy and wise.”
They are both opinions by you and by me.
They aren’t statements of fact.
It’s like Dunder Mifflin with you.
Well, I’m sure you’re right about many of her fans, but as for me and the fans of her that I know, we all see her as a non globalist, and we see BOTH Bushes as New World Order POS’s. Palin walks the walk, near as I can tell so far. Bushes pandered to the right, but were actually quite liberal...socially and fiscally.
Only thing that bothers me about Sarah is her use of the term “common sense conservative”. Common sense and conservative should be interchangeable. Conservatism IS common sense. Blurring it reminds me of “compassionate conservative”, a term which now makes us want to projectile vomit.

Lack of logic.
Opinions can be proven true, but not necessarily. You believe your opinion is true, but it is merely an opinion. I believe my statement is true but it is also merely an opinion.
It does not follow logically that either opionion has to be true.
Did you graduate high school?

For example...
Biff the dog is blue.
That is a factual statement.
I think Biff the dog is a fine looking dog.
That is an opinion.

The true result of whether this was a good move or a bad one will not be known until an election is won or lost...
Another example...
Doughty one can’t discern the difference between fact and opinion.
That is a factual statement. It’s been proven.
DoughtyOne is dumb as rocks.
That is an opinion.
