No, but it might make you just another one of the pigs.

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.
“Just because you sleep in a barn don’t make you a cow.”
It makes you a barn rat!
I swear, if Jesus Christ Himself were running some people would be damning him for having a tax collector on staff.
MsStain knew what this would do to her when he asked her to campaign for him....the bastard!
Both McCain and Hayworth were cleared of all wrongdoing.
“The people posting on Facebook are liberal trolls.”
No there not... Though my post to her on facebook wasn’t shown, it carried a similar theme. And my politics are WAY to the right of most republicans...
Actually Palin was already becoming a conservative/republican star, when McCain chose her, she did not come out of nowhere, that is why she was so high in Intrade predictions.
Well, congrats,everyone. You seem to be accomplishing what the democrats desperately wanted to do but couldn’t.
Doing in our best hope for conservative leadership.
Apt summary.
How many of those damning Sarah voted for McCain in 2008. lol
She had over 2,000 posts to that thread most of which were negative....I was one of them. The 20,000+ other peeps just hit the like button. These are real!
“A lot has happened since then, including the conspicuously disgraceful manner in which Mr. McCain left Sarah to the media wolves as they circled and attacked.”
If she’s not offended (obviously since she’s campaigning for him) then why are you?
Then your criticism of her really doesn't amount to anything then.
Correct! This article came from the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation! Can’t anyone see the divide and conquer going on here...
McCain’s children should drag him away. Meghan might be difficult but I’m sure she can be distracted by something bright and shiny.
I’ll repeat what I posted on BobJ’s infamous thread:
Palin is not Jesus Christ. I may not agree with her on every single choice she makes but right now, she represents my values far more than most other people in the political radar.
Who is that candidate? If you are talking about Hayworth, I’d agree he WOULD be a superior candidate, but he has not announced and does not plan to do so for several weeks.
If he had formally announced, instead of procrastinating for weeks or months, perhaps Palin would have stayed on the sidelines for the primary.
“Well, congrats,everyone. You seem to be accomplishing what the democrats desperately wanted to do but couldn’t.
Doing in our best hope for conservative leadership.”
Well obviously you have low standards
No, but it might make you just another one of the pigs.
