And your "principles" amount to electing Republicans who act like Democrats until it's time to get re-elected by stirring the wealth redistribution pot again.
Or defending and apologizing for Republicans who openly defend Socialist schemes established by Democrats.
Talk about FAIL.
No wonder the United States is on the edge of a financial abyss.
1) Hayworth hasn't declared.
rabs: "Yet."
Should Palin, a Republican, have based her endorsement or non-endorsement of McCain, the de facto Republican Senate candidate from Arizona, on the as-of-yet non-declaration for the office by an as-of-yet non-candidate?
Or should she have supported the Democrat?
2) Palin is a Republican.
rabs: "So was Scozzafava.
And Specter, before he went home to the Democrat mother ship."
Are you insinuating that Palin is a liberal Republican akin to Dede and pre-GOP-defection Arlen?
3) Palin was asked by McCain to run for Vice President. Under these circumstances, a failure to support McCain would display ingratitude, lack of good political judgment and indecisiveness unbecoming of any conservative.
rabs: "Then she has put Party over principle."
It's an idiotic statement.
The woman has come out against Cap And Trade and Nationalized Health Care, she's for drilling, she's anti-abortion, pro-second amendment, she rejects the notion of man-made global warming, she's against gay marriage...but she's not worthy of your support...she backs a guy who asked her to be on his presidential ticket...and you can't "in good conscience support her."
I knew you'd come out against this woman, and I told you so. You're a predictable drone.
