Exactly. And they jumped on this thread (and any pro-Palin postings) faster than a duck on a june bug.

I've noticed that too.

If Gov Palin keeps campaigning for RINOs, I'll rethink my support for her. BUT, I bet she'll campaign for JD if he wins the primary.

I think her support of McCain is a matter of doing what she believes is the right thing to do. I also believe her committment to do the honorable thing will override her committment to do what would benefit her more politically. She will do the honorable thing even if it ticks people off. It's one of the things I appreciate about her.

By the way, I don't know about you guys but I am OVER people claming those who support her are "worshipping" her. That is blasphemous and slanderous. I worship God, by the grace of Jesus Christ, and no one else, thank you very much.

Gov Palin is a human, makes mistakes and I will not always agree with her. But I do support her politically. Her track record is impressive to me, but I am not devoted to her. She is not the only one I support, either, there are several conservatives I support and think they would do well.

Being a Romneybot you have a lot of experience, a veritable PH.D, in pretzels.

Hey you idiot, find ONE post ANYwhere on FR where I have ever said one kind word about Mitt-Witt. You need to quit speaking from ignorance, there ain't no RomneyBot in my little corner of FR.

Prove I'm a 'RomneyBot', or STFU. You got that?

PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

[pissant]

Unless Rush comes out and throws his support to Hayworth, he IS carrying the GOP piss bucket.

Thanks for the transcript.

“Rush didn’t push anyone in the primary”

You are deluding yourself. They all did on talk radio: Rush, Glenn, Laura, et al.

[mkjessup]

For someone who is using Biblical references to make his point you are certainly being dishonest about what Rush said, or even what he inplied.
It would seem to me that you should ask forgiveness from those who you have lead astray.

Oy. President Bush did NOT get us Obama. A hundred other things did.

But to the point of the thread. There is nothing "false" about Sarah Palin. Nothing at all.

This endorsement of McCain is not a sell out. It is not an indication that she is anything other than what we have always known her to be - a principled conservative.

It is possible for a rational person to DISAGREE with another person and not throw said person overboard because of the disagreement.

I disagree with Sarah's endorsement of McCain. It does not alter my respect for her one iota, because I am not arrogant enough to expect political leaders to do everything I want them to do. No one ever has, and no one ever will.

Surely there must be a slew of other things you don't like Sarah for, because if this is the only thing turning you from supporting her, then your respect for her was never real, was it?

[Sloth]

JD said he would endorse McCain if he loses the primary, does that mean that JD is also a RINO and we shouldn’t support him?

Sounds like it to me.

[MBB1984]

And there are Conservatives who analyze Palin and logically conclude that she lacks the experience and knowledge to make a desirable Commander in Chief for 2012.

[Servant of the Cross]

Haha. I saw that Fred came out yesterday to endorse McCain. I expected to see (more legitimized?) the 'Fred was a stalking horse for McCain' meme around threads here. IMhO, Fred ain't running in 2012 (so Rush doesn't need to explain) - remember, he didn't have the "fire in his belly" the first time. < /s>

Here's what I'm glad about Rush's weighing in on this topic: I think this is evidence that Rush and Team Sarah are talking, coordinating and working together to Take Our Country Back! (note: stay with the video, ignore the 'we' stuff part; 'we' at FR weren't fooled by the poseur)

[Reagan Man]

Personal endorsements usually have little if any effect on an election. And Rush's opinion is just that. Political and personal friendships aside. Even though it may be understandable, Palin endorsing McCain is still a black mark on her record. Same goes for Fred Thompson. Having said that, I'd still vote for either Fred or Palin if given the opportunity.

>>>>> Sarah Palin is not a Tea Partier

Wow, is that a fact, Rush? I didn't know that.

[deannadurbin]

“President Bush did NOT get us Obama.”

I’m sorry but that’s just about the stupidest statement I have ever read on Free Republic.

[McGruff]

Rush Limbaugh believes that Sarah Palin owes McCain the fact that she is what she is today and that it is a payback time for her to McCain , it is an obligatory payback says Rush Limbaugh.

Rush gets it. Too bad the Sarah haters don't. And probably never will. I guess they're smarter than Rush.

[manc]

disagree with him totally

She is a republican first and foremost and I understand that but so is JD Hayworth and she should have either stayed out of the race or went for the most conservative person which is JD Hayowrth.

Sarah was used by McCain in the election and now he is using her again

I’m still holding out that Sarah stays out of this from now and says she cannot go there to help him as she is too busy.

Wither her endorsing him it makes it a hell of a lot harder to elect JD

[pissant]

Where the hell was Rush early on when he could have supported Hunter or Tancredo? Rush contributes mightily to RINOs a-running.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

LOL @ piss bucket!

[Notary Sojac]

"Loyalty is a virtue" is exactly what put Dede Scozzavafa on the GOP ballot.

[manc]

exactly

I see no sense what so ever for her to help amnesty.

She is a republican like Rush says but she is also a conservative right and that doesn’t go with helping a RINO

[pissant]

Just being Mavericky, you know

[Man50D]

If you prefer the "principle of perfection" over the principle of preserving this great Republic, then perhaps you should adjust your priorities.

McAmnesty isn't close to being a conservative. He agrees with the socialist RATs on many issues. Palin needs to adjust her priorities by supporting McAmnesty's conservative opponent.
