I live 20 miles north of the largest and busiest border crossing in the world San Diego - Tijuana, Mexico I also Support Sarah Palin

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.

DeMint has been on Romney’s tip for years, including endorsing Rommey in Jan. 07 when there were better conservatives, praising Mitt’s HCR reform in Mass., and even comparing Mitt to Reagan by saying, ‘Romney lights up a room like Reagan’.
Sarah really has all of you closet liberals panty's all in a wad, no?
You are not a political dissenter, you’re being duped into knocking down the only conservative who may enter the 2012 race that has credibility and popular appeal.
You’re simply a useful idiot to rino Romney, a man who now has no chance of winning, with ObamaCare a reality.

Palin expands her position on Illegal Immigration
Palin: we need to close the borders. They are called illegal aliens for a reason and if they are not going to follow the rules they should not be in our country.
It’s pretty simple I ratched that one down to the simple answer because its an easier answer than some politicians want it to make it be. you close the borders.
You get more agressive about cracking down on the illegal aliens and we take it serious what our border patrol officers are trying to do
December 2009
Lars Larson radio talk show
LARS: The amnesty proposal that was defeated in Congress — in your view, was that amnesty for illegals and would you back amnesty for a path to citizenship, as the current president calls it?
SARAH PALIN: No, I’m not for amnesty. Let’s ratchet this down quite simply to remember what we’re referring to. Illegal aliens are called “illegal” for a reason.
We need to secure our borders and I am not for amnesty. And there are humane ways to deal with the 11-13 million illegal aliens who are in our country right now, but if they’re not going to follow the rules, they need to get out.
I don’t remember DeMint encacting a windfall profits tax.
DeMint wholeheartedly endorsed Romney in January 2007 when there were other conservatives in the race:
January 8, 2007
Dear Fellow Republican,
I’m writing to ask for your support of Governor Mitt Romney for President. Over the next 10 years, America will face unprecedented challenges. We must elect a President in 2008 who is up to the task, and I need you to encourage Mitt to run.
The threat of terrorism will continue to grow. America’s energy needs will increase, and so will our dependence on foreign oil. The number of retirees will increase dramatically, and without major reforms, the future of Social Security and Medicare will be in peril. Without strong leadership, illegal immigration will continue to cost American taxpayers billions of dollars. America’s education system and global competitiveness will continue to decline without major changes. I believe Governor Romney will provide the leadership America needs to meet this new generation of challenges.
America’s success and strength emanate from the private sector: traditional faith-based values, families, churches, volunteerism and free enterprise. We must elect a President who understands the strength of America. Governor Romney has spent most of his life outside of government. He has been a successful businessman and national leader. As governor, he has taken Massachusetts from large debts to surpluses while holding the line on taxes. He has been married to his wife Ann for 37 years; they have 5 boys and 10 grandchildren. Their lives reflect the best of America’s traditions and values.
Governor Romney has helped to start and manage national and international companies. He understands the global economy, capital formation and the need to make America more competitive. When the nation needed him to save the failing and bankrupt 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, Mitt Romney volunteered to take over the leadership of an event which was headed towards a national embarrassment. He served for over two years with no salary and even contributed Senator Jim DeMint $1 million of his own money to make sure the Olympics went forward. His leadership resulted in one of the most successful Olympics in history. Mitt Romney made America proud.
As Governor he faced down a $3 billion deficit and balanced the budget. He passed innovative health care reforms and education scholarships based on achievement. He fought an activist state court that imposed same-sex marriage on the people of his state and he championed the Federal Marriage Amendment. Once again, he did not take a salary for his public service as Governor.
We need a President who will welcome new ideas and yet knows when to take charge – someone who will call on America’s strengths and provide leadership for the new generation of challenges we face. I believe Governor Romney will be the kind of President who will inspire Americans to reach higher because he shares our goals:
American Security
Governor Romney has innovative ideas about how to adapt our military, Special Forces, intelligence services, and defense technologies to protect America from future terrorist attacks. He believes in peace through strength. He also supports the right of law-abiding individuals to protect themselves in their homes; he will be a strong defender of the second amendment and will protect our right to “bear arms.”
I support Governor Romney because he believes we need to achieve operational control of America’s borders, issue fraud-proof worker identification cards, and implement an enforceable legal immigration system. He does not believe that people who come to the U.S. illegally are entitled to a special right to citizenship.
American Competitiveness
We must guarantee that America is the best place in the world to invest capital and operate a business. I support Governor Romney because he will make America’s education and workforce development system the best in the world. He understands that by streamlining our tax code and legal and regulatory systems, America will become the best place in the world to do business.
American Independence
America should not be dependent on unreliable countries for our energy needs. I support Governor Romney because he believes we need to make America independent of foreign sources of oil. We must protect our freedom by taking our resources out of the hands of hostile regimes and using them instead to build our economy at home. Through conservation and the development of alternative fuels, America can be independent of oil from the Middle East, Venezuela, and other unreliable suppliers.
American Values
Governor Romney has exemplified the moral leadership that must be the hallmark of an American President. He knows that traditional values begin with doing the right thing; saying what you mean and meaning what you say; and keeping your promises. He strongly believes that America must keep its promises to seniors before we make new promises that we can’t afford. Governor Romney has the vision and the courage to reform Social Security and Medicare for the next generation while guaranteeing promised benefits to today’s seniors. He knows that doing the right thing means that every American must have access to quality healthcare. He passed such a plan as Governor and would support other innovative state and federal solutions, rejecting an unworkable “one-size-fits-all” approach. I support Governor Romney because he believes all Americans should have a health plan that they can afford, own and keep.
Governor Romney is strongly pro-life. He will be a great asset to the cause of life because he has done something that we must convince many other Americans to do; he has changed his mind. After reviewing new scientific data, he is absolutely convinced that human life begins at conception. He will work to protect the lives of mothers and babies. He will also support promising adult stem cell research while maintaining the ban on federal funding of research that involves the killing of human embryos.
Governor Romney is opposed to same-sex marriages and civil unions. He supports a Federal Marriage Amendment that protects traditional marriage. He believes in the equal rights of every American, but does not believe activist judges should be making the law in these areas. He also rejects government promotion of the homosexual lifestyle.
Governor Romney believes that American values should include the end of wasteful government spending and the elimination of the huge debts that our children should not be forced to pay. He also believes that preserving our environment is an important American value and a tangible legacy for future generations.
I believe that Governor Romney can restore America’s leadership at home and around the world. Too often, career politicians who have spent their lives in government, turn first to government solutions. And too often, well-intentioned government solutions have only made our problems worse. As a leader who has spent most of his life in the private sector, Governor Romney will call on America’s strength and character to solve problems and secure our future.
I Need Your Help! Governor Romney has organized an exploratory committee to promote his vision and goals for America and to gauge support for his potential candidacy. I believe that he is exactly the leader America needs to secure our future. Americans are tired of the same old ideas that keep coming out of Washington. They are hungry for a leader who will draw on America’s strength. I would like Governor Romney to know that key Republicans like you want him to run for President. If you agree with me, please use the enclosed replycard to let me know. I will personally hand deliver all of these cards to Governor Romney.
Sincerely, Jim DeMint
DeMint also said, 'Rommey lights up a room like Reagan' and also supported his HCR in Mass.
DeMint praised Romney for his HCR
Even as recent as October 2009, Romney hosted a fundraiser for DeMint, where thousands of dollars were raised. Of course, DeMint is now being coy about Romney in 2012:
"Mitt is still near the top of my list of candidates, but I want to look and see who steps up to the plate," DeMint said after a fundraiser with Florida Senate candidate Marco Rubio. "Frankly I think we need to wait until after the 2010 election to see what happens in Congress."
but there is little doubt DeMint will fall in time if Romney is the nominee.
Bachmann also said this about McCain:
Bachmann backs McCain - now
By Dennis Lien on August 26, 2008 11:46 AM | No CommentsU.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann was no early supporter of John McCain for president. Back in March she said of the Arizona senator, "He is not my man," and today acknowledged that, "John McCain was not my first choice."
But since McCain will be the Republican Party’s nominated candidate in next week, Bachmann has come around.
In a telephone conference call today arranged by the state Republican Party, the 6th District congresswoman listed lots of reasons to support McCain over the Democratic candidate, Barack Obama, whom she called the nation’s “most liberal senator.’’
“John McCain is our nominee,’’ Bachmann said, adding that the choice “could not be more stark.’’
Palin has also been welcomed by Bachmann to campaign for her, and the two are more than political allies- they're friends.
So, DeMint ardently endorses a RINO, who many believe is worse than McCain, and Bachmann tows the party line, thinks there's a huge difference between McCain and Obama, and has Palin campaigning for her.
They have to go!!! ;)
A reasoned reply FRiend - something in short supply on FR at the moment. We don’t necessarily agree on her approach but we appear to agree that she is a force for good and not an enemy or whore as some here have suggested. The latter comments apart from being reprehensible are directly responsible for the passionate defence by many of her supporters.
lol...Before saying anything else watch the Fox New Greta inverview with McCain and Palin.
I saw the interview live and Sarah agrees with McCain that the borders need to be secure.
I am a Native of San Diego, living here for several decades.
I know the drill with the issues and why I support Sarah Palin.
I also worked for Reagan when he first ran for Gov.
either you are 8 years old or a DU Troll.
Well it’s going to be Romney or Palin. If you wish to be a useful idiot for Romney, be my guest.
...and let me add that I like that position. Why didn’t she say that Friday night? Instead she has let the wind out of JD’s momentum
Show me any post I have supported Romney ass wipe.
I didnt say you supported Romney fudgepacker, I said you are a useful idiot for Romney.
You don’t know any better.
Unless I see Sarah shooting up a family in front of the Whitehouse I and my family are voting for her!!!
...and you are a Palin RINO enabler. You and her have knifed JD in the back. Enjoy the spoils idiot
LOL, Palin a Rino..what a dipshit.
It’s all the Romney bots and hunter bots....who hate her...
You know, there are things going down right now, every day as we argue, that make it foolish to keep planning on 2012! Besides, if Sarah was serious she would not have tangled herself up with divisive people like McQueeg and also FOX news—she would have time to do some serious research and then some real reporting, that’s what her degree in journalism should have given her. A President has to have more than good looks, charm, and platitudes. We see the guy in the WH who had all that & suckered in millions of dummies into thinking he was a savior.
