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.

Actually, the worst thing I saw posted on FR about Palin was a few days ago...

rab said "FUSP"

The vitriol is getting so deep, we're going to have to call Roto Rooter!

Really? I'm not the one saying Palin is the enemy, nor am I applying hypocritical standards to politicians. Let's not forget the startling (and not surprising, really) trap you put yourself in by praising Bachmann and then not answering whether you'd support a Presidential run even though Palin is endorsing her and giving her money. Then, of course, we get the same ol' 'Its too early, now' line. And when challenged again, you can't even hold tight to your own standard about whether you'd kick Bachmann (or DeMint) to the curb like Palin.

Yeah, we all know who's being dishonest.

There was another bad one too - something about leaving money on the dresser. Onyx called the poster out on that I recall.

Yep, I agree the vitriol is reaching unhealthy levels.

Apparently all the Palintes must have missed Greta’s interview with McCain and Palin Friday night. It was a disgusting lovefest.

Care to quantify that “loss of massive support” with real figures?

Not when they summon JimRob and the mods I won’t ignore it,. Never!

You need to be told the same thing that JimRob told the recently banned BobJ:

To: Bob J

I love Palin’s conservatism and patriotism! She may very well support McCain out of loyalty and I have no problem with that. And I have no problem with whom she supports with her PAC. There is nothing written that says she has to do everything (or anything at all) according to JIM.

Sarah is unabashedly pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-family, pro-America, pro-constitution, pro-gun, pro-limited government and so am I. And she’s wildly popular among the God-loving, Liberty-loving folks with whom I choose to associate. In short, she’s a refreshing breath of clean fresh air in an otherwise putrid failure of a RINO infested party.

She represents my interests better than any other viable wannabe at this point and if she decides to run, she will have my undivided support!!

Romney, the draft-dodging, Big Government, lying statist political whore can KMA!!

And your picture does say a 1,000 words, but Bob, unfortunately they’re all about YOU and political whores like you and the results and likely outcome of your slavish, cultish RINOism!!

So you can shove your picture and your RINOs where the sun don’t shine.

Sarah has more guts, talent, ability, patriotism, and sheer determination and love for America and our God-given Liberty than you and Romney and a thousand other RINOS will ever have!

It’s been more than obvious for several years that our pro-Life & Liberty Free Republic has become an embarrassment for you, so why the hell don’t you just take a fricken hike already!!

Shove it, pal.

GET THE HELL OFF FR if you don’t like it, but whatever you do quit your damn whining and pestering good conservative FReepers about your hatred for Sarah Palin!! It’s beyond sickening.

Afraid to post the whole quote??

The whole quote does nothing to defend you. You declared Palin as the enemy. Now deal with the consequences.

Because I am a real conservative.

You obviously don't know a real Conservative when one walks up to you and tries to shake some sense into you.

The jury is still out on that one. But give it time.

I suspect the real shift will be noticeable just after the Easter break when the Senate and House vote on Amnesty. You can bet that McAmnesty will side with the Democrats on this one as will Collins, Snowe and Graham.

But if you insist on a direct assessment, just look at the current shift here on this forum among real Conservatives. I have seen many former Palin supporters change their opinion of her. I am one of them.

Now I suggest that you respect your elders here. Any taunts, name calling, etc, will go against you quite rapidly. Keep you discussion respectful, logical and civil.

To answer the question better, I will advocate a Forum Poll to this effect and clear up any further argument.

Virginia,You are the worst bully I have ever come across at Free Republic. Every time I turn around, you are tying to get somebody suspended because they don’t agree with you.

You betcha! LOL

I think maybe Virginia just needs to find herself a new sewing circle or something.
AuntB? Maybe you could help with a few suggestions?

Now as for Sarah Palin now being the 'enemy', I think it can be boiled down to a very easy to understand formula, based on that old saying "The enemy of my enemy is my friend", i.e., "The friend of my enemy is also my enemy."

Germany, Japan, Italy.
Were any of them our friends during WWII?

Soviet Union, Communist China.
Were either of those guys our friends during the Korean War?

Soviet Union, Communist China, North Korea.
Any of those three our friends during the Vietnam War?

Now pay close attention class:

John McCain, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin
All working to re-elect the King of RINOS, John McCain, making common cause to do so and enthusiastically supporting and embracing his progressive, 'Rat-lite and UN-conservative policies, views and positions.

Class dismissed.

Tens of thousands came out to the middle of nowhere in the desert yesterday to hear Sarah. That's what's going on out there in the real world...

Including the owner of this site...

Said they closed the gate because they’re full. No more room for parking on the property. They say they already have twice the crowd they thought they’d have. Hundreds if not thousands are being turned away. Cars are parked on the shoulders on both sides of the highway for about three miles out and the people are walking in. If we can get to the gate or close to it, Chris will drop me off and I’ll ride in on my powerchair and Chris and Sheila can drive on to Searchlight for lunch and they can pick me up later. Looks like I’ve missed Sarah Palin, though.

Many on this thread and others would do well to realize this. But they won't, not until the iron fist finally comes down on them from upon high.

What part of, “Sarah has lost massive support from Conservatives as a result of her support for McAmnesty.”

Yep, sure looks that way...

Sorry - too unscientific for me. Same goes for a Forum poll but if it helps you confirm your assumptions then go for it.

By the way attempts at patronisation and veiled threats don’t do you any credit.

I’m going to church for a few hours.

Be sure to sit on the front pew. You need all the preaching you can stand.
