Palin’s conservative fans need to reassess her “victories”
Seeing Red AZ ^ | 2010-08-26

Posted on 08/26/2010 8:12:30 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

The Hill runs a report crediting Sarah Palin for her many Republic primary victories. Before conservatives take too much pleasure in such news, read how she is credited with helping sweep John McCain to victory. Palin traveled to Arizona and made numerous campaign appearances with McCain, bringing him the Tea Party creds he so desperately needed to undercut the fact that he is a nearly three-decades-long, left-leaning Washington insider.

That Palin chose to conveniently back McCain over conservative former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth is a truth that should not soon be forgotten. Her help, McCain’s falsely running to the right, taking positions adverse to his established ones and $21 million dollars in attack ads did the trick.

Sarah Palin is all about expediency. She is no conservative.

Well figure that....Palin brought in another winner! ....even if it was McManiac dunderhead. The fact is...another politician won with her backing.

But yes, likely he would have won anyway.... his money and Arizonians made their choice.

...if you have problems with reading comprehension, you've got problems.

Forget it, pal. You've already lost that round.

But, let me get this straight.

You can't be bothered to fully explain yourself in plain English, or fully and adequately communicate a numerical concept in the written word, but it's my problem that I don't fully grasp the entirety of your thoughts?

Geeez....why that's just....juvenile.

Let’s see, last night you and the midget brigades came onto a Hunter thread to flap your feminist mantras. So either shove off or quit whining when real conservatives reject you and Sybil.

Who'd you vote for in the 2008 general election? Yeah, I paid McCain in full two years ago, although he would have never gotten that vote out of me without Sarah being on the ticket.

Same here...but I didn't really consider it working up a sweat...

We will be forced to endure these PDS threads for the next two years. I've only participated in a couple of them so far, and they seem to pretty much flow the same way:

1. FReeper posts article that reflects badly on you-know-who. If article does not reflect badly outright, then poster will tell us how the article can be interpreted to reflect badly on you-know-who
2. Poster adds his own comment reflecting his wisdom and insight
3. Palin supporters, and some FReepers who just can't figure out why the hell these guys dislike SP so much - all jump in the fray
4. The posts fly back and forth, some pretty harsh on both sides

But the weird thing is, when reading the ongoing comments of this thread's OP (rabscuttle385) - they are eerily similar in tone and theme to our favorite Palin-basher - pissant! Now I know they are two different people, but it's strange.

Earlier today I engaged with another P-b, mostly over the use of the word "kingmaker" as it was used by a journalist to describe you-know-who. Again, volleying posts for at least a half hour, it was a similar exchange.

It's going to be a long two years.

Yep, I'm just making it up:

Went to a SD Republican dinner last night. Some of those attending who spoke were: Duncan D. Hunter, Darrell Issa, Gunny Pop' and Roger Hedgecock.
They are not supporting DeVore. These are some of the influential Repubs in CA and they see that Fiorina is the chance to take out Boxer!

Now I have a good friend who ran the local GOP office for McCain-Palin and worked her ass off...if she said she paid her dues to McCain I’d accept that...but let’s not over-dramatize pulling the lever in a canvas booth...

You're simply pathological, pissant. Not only do you misrepresent what occurred on that thread, you have to start calling names, as per your usual M.O.

You were challenged last night for simply returning to FR, after having just told Jim Robinson that you were bowing out of his forum. You deserved to be challenged for having reneged on your word in less than a week.

And no, I'm not "shoving off", nor will I be "whining". But, I will be challenging all of your pathetic and ugly attacks on the leading conservative voice in our nation, wherever I find them.

If anyone's been "rejected" around here, it's you, pissant. I can't think of another member of this forum who engenders so much animosity and ill will, as you do.

Yes. No surprise there!

I’m off to bed, have a goodnight tweaking the attention seekers!

I swear if no one responded to them they would curl up and die. I can’t think of any other reason for their constant redundant posts.

Or, at least until Sarah declares her intention to run for the presidency in 2012. Once that happens, the PDS coven will be drowned out.

But, you're right. There are those on this side of the aisle who simply have an irrational dislike for Palin, and cannot overcome their bizarre compulsion to attack her on a conservative forum. As long as the forum owner permits this, it will continue.

Puppies need constant attention....and you know what they do when they get all excited. They leave little puddles all over the house.

It doesn’t matter if it’s you know who, or bush. These folks are just lonely and need attention. That’s why they post the same crap day after day. They need a response to make them feel good.

They do the same thing in each election, pick the favorite and disparage them in order to get attention, it’s nothing new.

Off to bed, good night!

Hi Windflier......Hey what’s your take on when SP will declare herself officially?

Those of you that harp on Sarah’s support of McPain obviously never experienced going to the dance with your date and have them end up going home with someone else...(not that I have either...but at least can imagine it)...I don’t respect people that do that sort of thing. I’d have less respect for her if she didn’t support McCain. He is but a small cog in the macro world... and she knows it. Nothing to see there ...move right along...

Who's over-dramatizing? I simply said that I gave McCain my vote in 2008, and as far as I'm concerned, that was my payment to him for introducing me to Sarah Palin.

I made that statement in response to a post in which someone said that we all owe McCain a debt for introducing Sarah to us.

No names provided. I figured.

I get out plenty — and I never said McClintock is a candidate for President.

I'm heading that way, myself. There's a great documentary on right now. Flying dinosaurs. Fascinating stuff. I'd rather spend time with a bunch of old bones than the PDS squad anyway. LOL

G'night.
