The moment the words "anyone but Obama" escaped her lips, the GOP(e) no longer had need of her, and so they've turned their backs to her. I say this in warning to all the genuine conservatives that will vote for Romney. Expect no different treatement from them than what they've delivered to Mrs. Palin. Your vote is the only thing of value you have to them. Once they possess it, they will continue on with the agenda they embrace, not the one we embrace. Believe it. You've seen it. Several times.

Or being the smart politician she is, Ms Palin decided that her presence would be a distraction. Going would also tie her in a lot of tea partiers eyes to the GOP Establishment. She is much more effective is she maintenance her position as an outsider to, rather then as part of, the GOP machine.

I found it interesting that Sarah made a campaign ad for Sarah Steelman in Missouri instead of Todd Akin. Based on what I know of the two, Akin is the more conservative.

Steelman lost to Akin, by the way. Not sure what message we are to glean from that.

Exactly, which is why I fear that a vote for Romney is a vote for Obama-Lite.

You hit that one right on the head.

Liberal Republicans hold conservatives in far, far more contempt than they do Democrats. I have seen it lots of times here in the state of Kansas in my 12 years or so here. If a squishy Republican gets nominated, conservatives are coerced into voting for the RINO by the party but if a conservative wins the primary, "country-club" Republicans will walk in mass. Jim Ryun and Lynn Jenkins provide an excellent example of that a few years ago. Mutual support is not a two-way street in their minds.

I'm afraid that Paul Ryan is simply window-dressing to draw over Tea Party supporters. If Romney wins, Paul Ryan will have as much influence in the Romney Administration as the WH janitor.

And the problem is that we all DO understand it, and we all DO believe it. But read the tag line...
