Not you too Rabs?!!! ;)
Anyway, I’m not as quick to judge Sarah Palin. Maybe you need to bring me up to speed on all of this Tarrence stuff...but I take it as she feels a loyalty to McCain because he brought her out on the national stage.
I haven’t seen anything McCain’esque from her yet that has turned my nose to her as a RINO. If she’s giving him money, it’s that loyalty. I simply can’t fault her for it just yet. Maybe I’m too soft :o
If she starts mirroring his behavior, well that would be different...completely.
The money raised an eyebrow.
This is what drove me wild:
"I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection."
The timing of this on-the-record quote is especially fishy, given McCain's recent barrage against J.D. Hayworth, likely in order to preclude him (or dissuade him) from running against McCain next year, since a recent Rasmussen poll put the two of them neck and neck in the 2010 Ariz. Senate GOP primary.
As for McCain's dirty tricks, try the mccaindirtytricks keyword.
The Tarrance Group recently conducted what J.D. Hayworth termed a "push poll" for a GOP group linked to McCain supporters. In the poll, the pollsters basically slimed and smeared J.D. Hayworth as a corrupt RINO. Turns out the Tarrance Group received a nice bundle of money from McCain's campaign account earlier this year to finance "survey research." Oops!
McCain also called up his buddies at the Arizona Republic to run an editorial the other day sliming Hayworth.
He also signed off on one of his goons--and yes, his involvement in the matter is public record, per the Arizona Republic news report--, Grant Woods, a RINO who in 2004 considered defecting to the Democratic Party along with McCain, to run and complain to the FEC about alleged campaign finance reform law violations on Hayworth's part.
(Who wrote the campaign finance law again?)
If it was only for the general election, I might understand.
But her PAC gave him funds for both the primary *and* the general elections.
Oh, and her PAC also gave Graham and Murkowski funds.
And this is all on the official record, so I can produce links if you want to examine them.
