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.

And you sound like a RINO loving moderate who would sell your soul to a Socialist-lite Republican; The root cause for why we are all now in this mess to begin with.

I don’t know how she will be able to endorse Hayworth without denouncing what McAmnesty stands for. This is really getting into a tangled web situation.

Endorsements are not all equal. Endorsing a candidate when there is no conservative alternative is understandable. Endorsing a leftist over a conservative is unforgivable.

Like I tried to say. I have believed that many a time, but Sarah has been able to upset my conventional, and all knowing, wisdom.

The FIRST tea party, Boston Harbor, December 16, 1773.

It was a joke, she was poking fun at his age.

"And the fact that there was no U.S. Navy at the time, would have made it really weird."

And there was no John McCain either...I suppose only those familiar with Juan's flying record would have understood the sarcasm.

I doubt it. I hope she leaves McCain at home.

The Wasilla pom pom squad endorses Juan MCain, new old Tea Party patriot. LOL

If Juan McCain is remotely what the Tea Party movement is about, then screw that movement and expect it’s imminent demise.

Sarah needs to get away from McCain after today’s event, and stay away.

Simply, she will merely point out Hayworth’s good points. That is Sarah’s way. She is the closest person to Polly Anna that I have ever seen.

No sale. She’s been very upfront on how she would campaign for him.

Dear Gov. Palin.

I really like you. I understand you are campaigning for McCain because you agreed to as part of the condition for accepting his offer to be his running mate.

But please don’t associate a movement that is anti-big government with RINOs that are just as bad as the leftists when it comes to big government.

Say he’s a nice guy, he’s a war hero, he’d be better than the Dem. These are mostly true statements.

But please don’t tarnish a good, grass-roots movement whose chief purpose is political speech to denounce oppressive government with someone who fought and won to restrict our political speech.

That is fair, but unkind. Considering Palin’s good intentions.

Better now than 18 months from now.

That is a good point. And ultimately, it's probably for the best because I had my doubts about her electability. I'm not suggesting she shouldn't have been electable, but the MSM has so slandered her that the large percentage of Americans that don't follow reality and only see what the MSM presents have a tainted view of her. I think it would have been an unconquerable uphill climb to rebuild her image for a significant percentage of Americans, unfortunately.

Someone needs to talk to Palin directly and explain. She’s getting caught up in the Beltway glitz machine.

I see, you like doing the left’s work and don’t even know it. Real Smart.

Those of us who know McNasty from years and years of betrayal, we know his tendency to suddenly become “ultra conservative” when his reelection is in question. Then, after his is safe again, he reverts back to his true nature.

If Palin is that ignorant to not see this in McCain, or if she is so unable to understand what the Conservative base is firmly grounded in, then she has no business being a candidate.
