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.
Your comparing her to Reagan is an insult to Reagan.
More fabricated news from the left.
All Palin supporters are 100% behind her.

RE :”Ok, so now she’s a plagiarist and copies Rush’s stuff?”
I will back off that statement. Rush probably gave her permission to use his ideas so that is not plagiarism exactly. Rush is more like her ghost writer.
Actually it's not as Obama ran against Palin and not McCain. The WH also answers her FB comments.
Got any other deflections?
RE :”The WH also answers her FB comments”
Really? How about AZ voters? Do they follow her comments on who to vote for?
Then why did you just use Reagan’s name to promote her?
I addressed a specific issue. If you choose not to respond, and you didn’t, that’s your choice.
Honey, you must not have a good memory of what you posted. It was you who invoked Reagan in your crazy rant. Go back and read what you posted.
Hey everyone! Rush gave Sarah Palin his permission to use HIS ideas in her book!!!!
RE:”Honey, you ..”
LOL
I can see why she’s doing it. Moderate voters are allergic to Palin. McCain is a conservative who appeals to moderate voters. Hayworth is radioactive to a national audience. If McCain wins, he can help Palin with a presidential run. And if Palin’s endorsement defuses this primary challenge, McCain will owe Palin big-time. I see Palin running in 2012. She will need the endorsements of Republicans who appeal to moderates to win in the general. And if she gets the nomination, it’s a sure bet that she’ll choose someone with moderate appeal as her running mate. And that is going to spell disappointment to a lot of conservatives who have pinned their hopes on Palin as a no-compromises conservative.
You people. No, I don’t mean conservatives, I mean people like you.
Sitting around rubbing your purity while losing all perspective on reality.
You probably were too pure to vote for McCain, thus electing the nightmare on K street we have now.
You’re probably too pure for marriage as everyone has faults which you couldn’t tolerate.
I ask who would be your choice for a candidate next time. You said Sarah hasn’t declared. Has anybody? I hadn’t heard.
You are either a troll or playing into the hands of the democrats.
Correct.
“McCain is a conservative who appeals to moderate voters”
....?....??....

I like Sarah but am sick of "business as usual".
Holy crap, did you compile that yourself?
These are two new charges your partial birth abortion posse, failed Governor and plagiarism.
Palin was the most popular Governor and elected official in America and even after she became the subject of the most vicious onslaught by the media that we have ever seen, she resigned with 56% approval (and climbing) with her numbers never having dropped lower than 54%, even at the peak of the onslaught and attacks, and her reelection was guaranteed.
We are all waiting for the new charge of plagiarism to be explained.
Even the media has not driven as far off the cliff as you.
