Palin Wraps McCain in Tea Party Movement
FoxNation.com ^ | 3/27/2010 | N/A

Posted on 03/27/2010 5:51:59 AM PDT by raybbr

Two years ago, John McCain transformed Sarah Palin overnight from an obscure first-term Alaska governor into a national celebrity when he picked her as his vice presidential running mate.
 
Now Palin is repaying the favor, putting her prestige on the line in an effort to help the four-term Arizona senator overcome his toughest re-election challenge ever.
 
The two campaigned together Friday for the first time since they lost the presidential race in 2008.
 
At the first of two rallies this weekend, Palin pumped up Tea Partiers, invoking the cause of the first Tea Party in 1773.
 
"Remember it was the Freedom Fighters and those who protested tyranny and big government," she said. "And that's what we're doing today."
 

"And when you think about that first Tea Party, shoot, some may claim that John was there, at the first Tea Party," she said with a laugh, poking fun at McCain's age. McCain, who is 73, grinned widely beside her.

At this point I'm wondering if she's pushed herself out of the possibility of running for president.

She has for me. I've done a 180 on her.

I wouldn't go so far as to label Palin the enemy although she is certainly not the redemptress that folks here are painting her to be.

Her ideals are set correctly. I just think that she is playing over her head in the political big leagues. She appears to be doing everything she can to enhance the Palin brand and in doing so puts herself in lose/lose situations.

She blunders often, starting with quitting in Alaska. These mis-steps cost her support every time. She lost any chance at winning the middle when she quit (Americans do not like quitters) and now she is seeing erosion in her conservative base.

She can do a u-turn (aka - flip) but that will lose her even more. She is becoming as viable as Buchanan or Newt and creating a pathway to media punditry but no real power.

That is more than most men have said, but not as much as they wanted.

You are way over your head tea bagger, and I have an itch. See, I never claimed to be a tea bagger because anyone stupid enough to stand on the side of the road dangling a tea bag deserves ridicule.

You are funny. Not in a comical way but in a screwed up way. You are simply one of those "can dish it out but can't take it" people. In other words a brat. You call names but don't like it when you are called on it.

You are childish and think that your insolence should simply be accepted.

Soon, I think, you will be banned when enough people see you for what you are.

You are correct, but I have raised this issue, and I offered a solution to resolve the issue on a previous post. Everyone, ridiculed me for asking that prior service offer there credentials.

Hey Meghan!

We haven't seen you for awhile. Were you tied up at your recent speech to the Log Cabin Perverts?

FYI, we are RELOADING & TARGETING your daddy, Juan McAmnesty. JD is a supporter of America & our Constitution - things you and Juan reject. Y'all will soon be going back to the beer ranch and you'll discover your 15 minutes is up.

Ciao!

You have sidestepped every challenge......

Pot meet kettle. I'm still waiting for your answer to my questions about your belief in SP's ability. You have the energy to insult long term freepers all over this thread yet you duck real questions entirely.

I think we have your number. You and your ilk are doing more damage to SP than anyone else...which is, I think, your real agenda.

As I said before, he didn't have to endorse anyone. Plenty of republicans chose not to endorse anyone.

But what you said is, again, the point of the list. Many on the list DID choose to endorse RINOs when there were conservatives. And a good many of those are potential candidates (and freeper favorites).

Then support her even the more. Where have you been during the 24/7 Palin bashing wtc911? Oh, that is right you have been busy cutting her off at the knees.

Tom Coburn calls John McCain a “broad conservative” and a lot more


Coburn also supported McCain VERY EARLY in the primary season
