PHOENIX (AP) — John McCain and Sarah Palin are scheduled to campaign together in Arizona next week for the first time since they conceded the presidential election in Phoenix in 2008.

Palin and McCain will be at a rally and picnic in Tucson on March 26, followed the next day by a rally in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa.

Thanks for all your twisted posts - they tell the real story about you.

I guess your posts tell the story about you as well. Since you lied about me repeatedly, at this point I have to consider you nothing other than a LIAR.

Did it ever cross your mind that when she was his V.P. choice and she accepted, he never did change his mind.

Isn't this what we're trying to get rid of, politicians supporting a position because they "owe" someone? Isn't this what Obama is doing, getting politicians to give their support because they "owe" Obama for favors given?

Palin, like everyone else, should stand by her convictions, not who she "owes".

I've been thinking a lot about this issue, and I understand that Palin may feel a certain obligation.

At some point, and in light of the way McCain treated her specifically and treats conservatives and conservatism generally, I don't think she owes McCain anything at all.

I understand loyalty, but loyalty to someone who is harmful to our freedom makes no sense at all. There is absolutely nothing in the world wrong with saying, "I know more now than I did then, and as a result, I can no longer support Mr. McCain".

At some point, those who want to lead us need to make it clear that they owe America more than they owe other politicians. If Palin can't see the damage that McCain has done and is responsible for, I question her judgment.

I question why quid pro quo with McCain is more important than electing a conservative to the Senate to help stem the erosion of our fundamental rights. The "you scratch my back & I'll scratch yours" mentality so many have has already done extensive damage to our nation.

I'm going to need answers to some of these questions before I can fully support Palin.

that's the entire point of this thread. You decided to make me your focus,

YOU decided you NEEDED to post ad nauseum about your displeasure about Sarah. Did you just wake up and find out her backing McCain? Do YOU really think conservatives don't know about HER DECISION that you NEED to keep harping on it - endlessly? And if anyone says they don't agree w/it but understand it - well THAT JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU! You want blood!

You did the same for Brown - like conservatives didn't know he wasn't conservative - YOU NEEDED to harp on it! As if you have some 'claim' on truth - and conservatives are clueless.

You have an obsession with 'appearing' right with your finger pointing and can't handle when the finger is pointed at you! YOU run into your 'victim' status.

I'd have been out of this thread long ago if you hadn't started lying about my "agenda"

What a twist but thanks for telling me I have SO MUCH POWER over you!

[presently no screen name]

Yet you're quick to lie and smear a long-time poster here for not being happy about it and expressing my displeasure.

I didn't lie about you - I merely told you the truth that you can't handle! Long-time meets nothing - you hang onto that as your security blanket as if it gives you some credibility because you KNOW you NEED it! You turned your displeasure for SARAH into an obsession.

Again with the lying. I'd have been out of this thread long ago if you hadn't started lying about my "agenda".

Your name calling is noted - calling me a liar and a PALINBOT! Your smear attempt has failed!

I notified the moderators because typically these personal smears are not allowed.

Typical for one that CONSTANTLY wears the 'victim badge'! You think moderators can't read posts and see how it is YOU who has done the name calling?

You seem very emotional, so perhaps you are letting your frustration get the best of you.

Me, emotional, frustrated? LOL! You're the one crawling under the long time poster rock, the name caller, crying to the moderators, and the obsessed one!

I'm going to need answers to some of these questions before I can fully support Palin.

Fully support Palin for what? Is she running for some office? She's a private citizen last I heard.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Barf alert!

[Ulysse]

Exactly what i was thinking about.
The kiss of death from S.PALIN to McCAIN ?
In addition the immigration issue is a BIG one and S.Palin should know that.She must make a sensible and understandable point on that issue...If she wants to WIN !
Don’t forget the GOAL !

Wait and see

[raybbr]

To repudiate Palin two years after for supporting McCain's Senatorial campaign doesn't speak well of the loyalty, cohesiveness and strength of the Republican ‘brand’.

Oh, yeah. Let's keep doing what we have been doing - supporting RINO's. Look how well it's worked so far.

[Man50D]

Palin continues to support a socialist but some how in some people’s minds she is a conservative . LOL!

[wolfcreek]

Losers

[plain talk]

Why does she get a pass? Shouldn’t she be called a RINO and trashed?

No - this is just political loyalty and payback.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Gotta be kidding me, I can’t believe Sarah is giving this loser the time of day after the way Johnbo and his staff have so blatantly sold her out publicly. Running with RINOs is not the way to do things, Sarah.

[JudyinCanada]

It IS troubling.

IIRC, when she backed Hoffman in New York over the liberal Republican candidate, she stated very clearly that she would back the conservative candidate every time.

Her stumping for McCain is just wrong. It does not make her look like the strong conservative she claims to be.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

GRRRRRR ....!

Harder to support you, Sarah.

I hope that a stronger consevative who is more popular beats her in the primary. Who? Not McRomney. McDonnell supports McCain too. So who?

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

About 3 weeks ago, Rush said on his show “ Folks, don’t mistake Palin for a Tea Partier...Palin is a Republican”

Yep. And Reagan was also a republican. I don’t know how many RINOs he campaigned for, although he made “Read My Lips / Voodoo Economics” his running mate.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

“Oh boy...I just can’t wait to hear all the wonderful things Palin has to say about McCain.”

I’m queazy now.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“I don’t know how many RINOs he campaigned for, although he made “Read My Lips / Voodoo Economics” his running mate.”

But WE voted GHWB into the Presidentcy, not Reagan. As VP, he did what he was told.

[Caipirabob]

I'm as big a Palin fan as anyone, but as an AZ resident, this is an absolute publicity disaster for Palin.

You cannot support the reprehensible and walk away untainted.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yep, this is political payback to McCain. If McCain loses the primary the government run media will come up with the exact wrong conclusion and say that Sarah doesn’t have the political clout that people think.
