Palin: Tea Party Leaders Agree with McCain on Big Picture
Fox News ^ | 2010-03-28

Posted on 03/28/2010 10:19:17 AM PDT by rabscuttle385

(snip)

PALIN: The point here is that Senator McCain and I agree on the big picture, where it is that the country needs to go. There are so many challenges facing America right now, and Senator McCain has been on the right track trying to get the country back on that track that will lead to more prosperity, more security for this nation. We agree on those things that have to take place in order for us to kind of undo some of the things that Obama is doing and get us back on that right track towards prosperity and security.

(snip)

PALIN: Absolutely. And that's why we're making a point to point out that Tea Party leaders are not opposing John McCain. They're supporting his mission, too, and that's to rein in the growth of government. Tea Party -- tea partiers, bottom line, are saying, We're taxed enough already, and that's what John McCain is saying, too.

I'm proud to be part of the Tea Party movement. I'm wearing my Tea Party necklace today, even. I was proud to get to point out Tea Party movement participants in the crowd today. They're here cheering on John McCain because they know, at the end of the day, we're all fighting for the same thing. We're fighting for the future of this great country. So he is part of the Tea Party movement. And yes, they're going to be very impacting. They're going to be impacting for John.

From National Review 3-26-2010 - how McCain & Graham gave terrorists Constitutional rights - while you lost your Constitutional rights the other day:

“That is what Senator Graham did in 2005. Along with Sen. John McCain and other grandstanding Republicans, he gave cover to the Left’s “torture” demagoguery by spearheading enactment of the McCain Amendment. Under the rubric of “cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment,” that provision vested alien enemies held overseas with constitutional rights against coercive interrogation.”

McCain does not stand up to Obama because he supports him. People are fools to believe this s**t.

The Tea Party people and anti-amnesty people probably have an 80% crossover. McCain called people who were against amnesty “racists.” A typical Alinsky tactic.

I guess Palin thinks the Tea Party Movement supports Illegal Alien Amnesty, Terrorist Amnesty, Cap And Trade, “Reach Across The Aisle”, and seizing our Vitamins.....

Yes, Palin is a Liberal RINO.....and the Tea PArty Movement is supporting and voting for JD Hayworth in 2010....and not for Palin in 2012

She’s 100% WRONG on this issue. She can kiss it goodbye now. He is part of the problem we are facing now. She needs to just zip it and do the US a favor and let this RINO be put out to pasture.

We all make mistakes, and Sarah is only human, but it doesn’t take much for some people to jump ship, does it? One down and how many more to go? Very sad!

When someone says this is who I am and this is what I believe then we must take that as being true. It is risky to discount what someone is saying and sort of say, “they don’t mean it.”

more like she pays her debts.

Tell that to the tens of thousands of American's and their families, who are victims of rape, murder, robbery, ID theft, burglary, and drunk driving at the hands of illegal aliens.

She is aiding and abetting a known open borders, pro-amnesty politician.

But that's only true if the "big picture" is Edvard Munch's The Scream.

Just thought I’d reprint part of Jim’s post to BobJ. It’s so delightful to read and says everything I want to say.

Who are these Tea Party leaders?

I guess it really doesn’t matter just remember, vote early and vote often but whatever you do vote GOP and support the ‘big picture’.

But she also said in a recent interview with FoxNews’ Greta Van Susteren that conservatives shouldn’t be holding Hands with the leftwing democrats. So while she’s returning a favor to McCain by campaigning for him, she’s also distancing herself from him and other RINOs with that remark.

Video of the recent interview:

Palin quit as Governor. I think the endorsement shows more weakness on McCain’s part than Palin’s.

If Gov Palin, a self-claimed Conservative, doesn’t back JD Hayworth, another Conservative, it makes one wonder who is holding the gun to her head?!

VAN SUSTEREN: Now, when you're on the campaign trail, everyone sort of agrees with everyone on the same issues. Now the campaign is over. The election is over. Are there some issues that you and Senator McCain have a respectful disagreement about?


PALIN: The point here is that Senator McCain and I agree on the big picture, where it is that the country needs to go.

You are brave to post this.

It pains me to read Sarah’s own words on this. Politely paying back a favor is one thing - but this is just not right. She is making an uncomfortable bed that she’s going to have to lay in now. I think this comes from political inexperience - it’s a mistake. Every time she praises McCain - her words will come back to haunt her.

He is part of the problem we are facing now.

She made a lot of money giving speeches about electing grass-roots conservatives for office, and tries to pose as one who goes against the GOP 'establishment'. What happened to all that, why not put it on display and go against her former liberal running mate and support a conservative for office?

“... 100% WRONG...”

Agreed. It appears she is not above “politics as usual”-I think she does herself a great disservice with her support of McS-—thead. Doesn’t she remember how Mc’s staff treated her, and does she think that he had nothing to do with it? Paying a campaign debt? Puhleeze!
