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.
“I also had nice things to say about Thompson, Hunter and others. I’ve said bad things about them as well. When they do something good I praise them and when they so something bad I criticize them.”
“It’s called objective balance”
Another lie, you have not had much of anything negative to say about any of them other than a few little nothings, but for Palin, you are obsessed, posting vanities, suffering embarassing dressing downs from Jim Robinson himself, you are out of control, another example of your mad excess.

Today you mock Sarah Palin’s Down Syndrome child as the liberals do.
A couple days ago you mocked our “slave holding” Founding Fathers just like the liberals do:

Daily you mock Free Republic and conservative FReepers.
How low will you go in defending big “R” liberalism?
It appears we “in the neighborhood” are a big embarrassment to you?

“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.’
You mean like they’ve been doing for the last 50 years?
Assault from the left didn’t start with Sarah Palin. Those of you whose political memories begin with the 2008 GOP VP announcement should take a breather before you start spouting neopolitical gibberish.
Some of us have been around a while and know how the game has been played and we’re not particularly shocked at how they have treated Palin.
Can you spell potatoe?
“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.”
I got one vote, how many you got?
You don’t even understand our posts, do you?
“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.”
..yep, and maybe unwittingly, you have been playing it. All you choose to do is push buttons. I have yet to see you encourage positive unification, instead, you constantly look for buttons to push and then keep on pushing those buttons. You were an avid McCain supporter but then decided to egg on Palin supporters if she supported McCain. If you were a McCain supporter, you would find this a positive thing. Instead, you just look to push Palin supporter's buttons. You claim to have played the game for a long time, but that is the problem, you play a game. Time to grow up buddy and offer something productive.
Does that answer your question? Because I can be a bit more specific if it doesn't.
How about youput those accusations in context so all FReepers can decide for themselves whether they agree with the sentiment?
Unless you’re saying that everyone must think as JimRob does or they’re not welcome on the forum. Which I think is your purpose, besides intimidation, for posting it.
I got a suggestion, how about you defend your comments here on your own without calling on the spectre or past comments of Jim.
You know, stand on your own like a man instead of a chicken shiite who runs to the hall monitor whenever they get into a scrap they can’t extricate themselves from.
Just a suggestion, no offense intended.
Bob J you used that word twice in 9 minutes, and the second time you combined it with masturbatory, what is going on at your house?
Ron Paul is closer to Obama than to a conservative.
Really, this is a non-story. Nobody cares except the Huckleberrys, Paulists and Mittsters who weren’t going to support her anyway.
Bob J | Jan. 8: If she comes out for him I will applaud her standing by the man who catapulted her into the national limelight.
All observe the M.O. of Bob J.

So you speak for everyone in your family or do you just put a thumb on them when they don’t get in line?
From one Irish Catholic Conservative to another, don’t pull that bullshit on me because I’ll crush you like a bug.
Rhetorically speaking.
I think it is useful for freepers to know that they are not alone when they see you as a liberal republican that despises them, freerepublic, conservatism, and Governor Palin.
To quote JR.
“Daily you mock Free Republic and conservative FReepers.

“Bob J you used that word twice in 9 minutes, and the second time you combined it with masturbatory, what is going on at your house?”
Would you like me to pull up the threads where the good, chaste, Christian supporters of Palin used them to intimidate me?
He hasn’t run before for POTUS.
That is the norm with her. Bobbie just pushes buttons, I’m not sure she has principles other than playing the game.
“Bob J you used that word twice in 9 minutes, and the second time you combined it with masturbatory, what is going on at your house?”
I’m guessing it is pretty much required.
