Sen. John McCain, the man who brought Sarah Palin to national prominence, is being challenged for re-election in the GOP primary by former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth. Palin recently announced that she plans to travel to Arizona to campaign on McCain’s behalf, but posters on her Facebook page are not at all happy with their Sarah:
“Sarah, it was fun, but now you are done.”
“Sarah, your support of McCain shows bad judgment and brings into question the validity of your words. You can forget any political ambition if you support Amnesty – which John McCain does. Conservatives don’t forget.”
“You do know Senator McCain is a PROGRESSIVE? It is very disappointing that you are campaigning for him instead of J.D. Hayworth. McCain needs to go!”
“Sorry to hear that you are supporting McCain. Up to now, I thought you were part of the solution, but you’ve shown yourself to be part of the problem.”
“McCain!? Are you kidding me? Time to pick a side, Sarah– Are you with the people, or against them?”
“I agree with those who advise you not to campaign for Senator McCain. He really doesn’t represent the views of grassroot conservatives. He represents those in the GOP who have too often been willing to compromise on principle, or even worse, have failed to really understand basic conservative principles.”
“McCain used Palin like a cheap tool to keep from getting beat worse than Reagan did to Mondale. His staff mocked her and showed no respect. Now McCain is using her again like a cheap tool and this time she is willingly doing it under the guise of loyalty. As long as McCain is the face of the GOP, conservatives are irrelevant. Palin is playing politics and this goes against what she “supposedly” represents. She helps elect McCain, she’s done.”
“I respect your loyalty to McCain, Sarah, but he really is using you. You need to do what you are obligated to do for him, and then run as far away from him as possible. He’s widely despised in the Conservative movement, and you’ll be hurting yourself badly with your support base if you do more than offer your token support or speak on his behalf.”
“McCain is not a commonsense candidate. If you support him your future as a conservative candidate is over.”
“Another day ~ another appeal to our girl from Wasilla: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not follow through with your plan to campaign for John McCain. In the insightful words of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman: “Big mistake. Big. Huge.” To do so will destroy your credibility, have your enemies carping: “I told you so,” and leave your fans devastated.”
That’s just a small sampling of some 2,500 comments, and I have to admit to being surprised by the vehemence and near-unanimity of that sentiment. It makes me think that McCain might eventually have real trouble in the Arizona primary.
“It’s called objective balance, something Palinistas gave up the first time Palin said “You betcha” and decided she’s “Oh my God, just like me!”.”
(Feigning the same feigned outrage of BobJ)
Bob is this a Paulist or Baldwinesque plot to demean Palin supporters. Do you know how insulting it is for you to insinuate that all Palin supporters are fooled by Palin’s charisma and appeal to regular people.
You gotta be kidding. The best and the brightest thing hasn't been working out so well. Jihadists declared war, they sat and scratched their collective ass. Unfunded liabilities accumulated by the B&B total in the tens of trillions. In their infinite wisdom they have declared CO2 a pollutant. Can water vapor be far behind?
I thought the TP was leaderless? Nice to have the Palinistas preemptively inserting her into that position because now I don't have to think for myself or even vote on the issue.
Thanks! You saved me whole lot of work and thinking!
You know, because thinking is hard.
I don’t want somebody “like me” in the oval office. I want a super star and I’m not talking about the Lady Gaga type superstar.Maybe a better way to phrase it might be, we don't want common sense in the Oval Office but, rather, a healthy dollop of uncommon sense.
And that is a bad thing because? Ronald Reagan was just like one of us if I recall.
“Do you know how insulting it is for you to insinuate that all Palin supporters are fooled by Palin’s charisma and appeal to regular people.’
Not all Palin supporters, just the most jaded.
But to answer your question, yes. Truth hurts...unfortunately.
You just make up shit as you go along.
You’re a walking Palin hating troll, nothing worse and nothing better.
You offer condescending opinions about Palin supporters like a fraking liberal ass Democrat.
You offer pathetic invented and delusional bullshit. You are a RINO.
But, damnit Bob I love ya...we must have our playful mouse.

Uhhh, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Could you ‘splain it to us I Love Lucy fans?
No, I’m pointing out that there is a movement underway by the left to find any way to divide us over small points. They won’t let us unify behind common principles, but instead, pick at the scabs of division.
LOL You will not name the third party that you want people to vote for, you just want to make sure that the Republicans do not win. Which leaves.....Obama. Cute.
“You offer condescending opinions about Palin supporters like a fraking liberal ass Democrat.”
It’s spelled “fracking”.
Unbelievable.
DeMint was a ground floor supporter of RINO Mitt for the nomination doing fund raisers for Mitt even before Mitt announced.
That makes DeMint a RINO, right??
I know Bob which is exactly why I don't want you or folks like you deciding who will be the next nominee for the Republican Party.
Another one.
Hey, the fringers that don’t name their candidate and Party...and who constantly attack Palin are irrelavent.
So, if they fail to name their alternative, just call them Paulists, as most of them are anyway.
They don’t respect us so F them.
Thanks but I got the RINO right, which is most important.
Thats BS she is making a mistake but thats all she is a staright down the line Conservative.
