Palin Wraps McCain in Tea Party Movement

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.

She’s not a socialist! She rules!

[Man50D]

She’s just playing her cards!

She's playing the wrong cards. Should be playing with conservative aces in her hand instead of the socialist joker.

That one had a short life! Signed up, made 4 comments, and whack! I was at another site, came back & was going to reply to him, but he was zotted! Darn, we could’ve played with him for awhile.

A fact you don't want to discuss.

I already adressed it, you just didn't like my answer.

I don't need to know beyond he's supporting a traitor.

And yet you still support him. I've got a hypothetical question for you. If you had to support either Palin or Obama in '12, which one would you support?

I have a question, Sarah-bot (bottom of this comment).

In your comment #146, you, Sarah-bot, wrote:
"Old man is a term of endearment. This young man risked his life in combat to preserve the surplus population, who now sits on their sorry buts and drinks beer at the Legion."

But in comment #146, you, Sarah-bot, wrote:
"Simply my dear, but remove your what have you’s."

In comment #160, Sarah-bot wrote:
"Don’t tangle with me highlander, something is showing up your kilt."

In comment #192, Sarah-bot wrote:
"Travis McGee, I would sooner take advice from Bobby McGee. At least I would not where loyalties lie."

In comment #194, Sarah-bot wrote:
"PSYCHO-FREEP, I have honored you with a post and as of yet you have not replied."

In comment #207, Sarah-bot wrote:
"Keep huffing on that Huckabee. Point is that me and like minded folk don’t care what McGee thinks. I am only trying to convince your wife."

In comment #225, Sarah-bot wrote:
"You are not an old man, you are an old pansy. My Dady could kick your ass. Thing is, you are probably the same age, so I will not bother you with my Dady can kick your Dady’s ass."

In comment #228, Sarah-bot wrote:
"I was under dressed too. I awakened late and I ran out the door. The ladies asked me, Do you want a bun with that Wiener?"

Are you a girl or a boy?

[familyop]

If you don’t mind my asking.

Fixed the link for this quote.

[humblegunner]

And my grammar is still awful.

Well, you won't have to put up with her for long.
See, the way this Obamacare is going to work, they...

Oh, grammar.

Never mind.

"I care about the USA, and Palin is now the enemy".

SJB, you and your clique make me sick.

I can't believe that you actually have the GALL to say such a thing after she took the fight straight to Harry Reid's doorstep out in the middle of the desert yesterday, rallying THOUSANDS of Conservatives who went out to see her.

In case you haven't noticed, bub, she is the ONLY Republican on the scene right now who is doing serious damage to Obama's agenda, so much so that she remains the target of vicious liberal attacks and death threats even though she's been out of office for almost nine months now.

Funny that I don't see the same level of vitriol and outright fear concerning Ron Paul and Mitt Romney or any other wannabe be GOP 2012 candidate.

So in short, you are friggin' nuts!!!!!

[Man50D]

And yet you still support him.

Do a search on my comments since I registered at FR nearly five years ago and show me a comment I made supporting Paul. Until then try stating facts.

I've got a hypothetical question for you. If you had to support either Palin or Obama in '12, which one would you support?

Why do Sarahbots continually try to divert attention away from the fact Palin endorses flaming socialist McAmnesty with baseless accusations, questions as to how conservatives who have a dissenting viewpoint have voted and now hypothetical situations?

[freemike]

I don’t begrudge Sarah for this. She is being loyal to the person who picked her as VP. Lets face it, she’s in a box. After this, she will have repaid him.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

A month ago this place was flooded with Palin supporters. They sure are quiet now.

Complete and utter BS!

We're here every day despite the ongoing Libertarian/3rd Party stink of the place.

[Man50D]

She is being loyal to the person who picked her as VP.

Party over Conservative principle is not an endearing trait.

She is being loyal to the person who picked her as VP. Lets face it, she’s in a box.

This loyalty/ repayment concept is a bunch of baloney. She doesn't owe McAmnesty any loyalty. He wanted LIEberman but was told to pick another VP candidate. Palin knowingly and willingly put herself in that position. She could have turned down the offer.

[rintense]

Palin is now the enemy.

And this is where you lose all credibility.

[rintense]

Bachmann, Coburn and Ryan all endorsed John McCain for President.

[sarah fan UK]

Yep, probably the most disgusting and disgraceful post I’ve seen yet on FR. “Palin’s now the enemy” - unfreakin believeable.

[sarah fan UK]

True and the stench is truly appalling.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“And this is where you lose all credibility. “

You lost all credibility a long time ago ;-)

Here's what Rush has to say on this subject.

RUSH: Victor in Boca Raton, Florida, I'm glad you waited, sir. You're on the EIB Network. Hi.

CALLER: Great. Hello, Mr. Limbaugh. Mega dittos to you from your fans at the Free Republic.

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.

CALLER: Sir, I would like to hear your opinion on Sarah Palin’s endorsement and campaigning for John McCain. Thank you, sir.

RUSH: Well, I've been waiting for this question to come up, and I see there's a story out there today that Joe the Plumber says that he cannot and will not support Sarah Palin because of her endorsement of McCain. It is problematic, but you know what's going on here. She's a Republican. She's not a tea partier, she's not a third party person. She's a Republican. McCain picked her. No matter what has been written about how she wasn't supported by some people, I think — and I'm not coping out here — I just think I understand the reality of the circumstance. Maybe she coulda stood mute and not said anything but it would have really, really caused some problems in the other direction for her if she had not endorsed McCain. She's in a no-win in this situation as far as I can tell. I'll have more when we come back.

Let's end this internal bickering and focus on defeating democrats (and John McCain).
