He was a shoe in? Then there was no need to do “business as usual” and get involved with his race at all. She did. It is time to clear the air on this matter. Mclame hates everything we stand for. She backed him. I was fully in the mood to support her 100% when she announced, if she did. This McLame thing has me boiling and she needs to denounce him immediately.
Read the rest of my post, if the ticket had turned on itself then it would have shown the 2008 ticket as a sham, a fake out of the American people, it would have dominated the news, destroyed Palin, stopped our gains in 2010, made Obama look like the only sane choice in 2008, and McCain would still have kept his Senate seat.
McCain asked Palin for her public endorsement. She didn't just show up and offer it unbidden. He forced her into a moral dilemma for his own selfish reasons, not caring a whit that people like you would carry a grudge against her for doing so.
She could not refuse his request, once he'd asked. If she had, her future in politics would have ended that very day.
Most of us who support her, immediately saw what McCain was doing, and realized why Palin could not refuse. We despised McCain despite her endorsement, and lots of us enthusiastically supported JD Hayworth, warts and all.
Palin didn't give us another six years of McCain. JD Hayworth and the voters of Arizona did.
There are things that pols do, have to do, as a matter of fact, to not look like a "KOOK", "disloyal", and/or too far over the cliff.
Palin can't "denounce him" ( McLame ),out of hand, right now. And he is irrelevant..........we all know that he is Mr. Mushy"/"cross the aisle and stab GOPers in the back". Sarah knows it too; so does Bristol, for that matter.
I only hold McCain responsible for his idiotic statements. Anyone with any sense should (by now) be fully aware of McCain’s foot-n-mouth disease.
Palin has no obligation to beat McCain (specifically) over the head about anything. What I think she *does* need to address (at some point) is all of the “McCains” in the RINO club. Though I would prefer she be ruthlessly brutal, she will probably do it with class and tact.
