Back Stab: Sarah Palin As Portrayed By Her Disloyal Staff

McCain was so caught up with Sarah, whether it was the jealously factor or fascination, that he lost track of his campaign. If Wallace and Schmidt were sabotaging his campaign, McCain would have been too distracted. It played into Wallace and Schmidt's hand and gave them free reign to take the campaign down.

Their work with Game Change I believe is the coverup to shift the blame to Sarah. Don't forget John Heillman and Mark Halperin who wrote Game Change. Heillman is a gay operative and Halperin is said to be in the closet. These misogynists truly have an agenda. It is interesting that Tom Hanks produced the project, which reveals the coalition of individuals involved with Game Change. Something definitely is rotten in the state of . . . America.

Wallace worked for Romney to sabotage America.

FLASHBACK:

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided …to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.

Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs for Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."

The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.

"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

---

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

I’ve been thinking alot about this. I am not a Romney fan. I agree with everything that has been said about him. However, if he and his team are really as nasty as we all think, maybe they are the right people to take out Obama. Are they willing to play as dirty as the Obama campaign surely will? Are they willing to go all in to win? McCain sure wasn’t.

[Norm Lenhart]

If they are and do, then we get the Obama II we believe him to be - so whats the benefit?

With aides like this, in the Bush White house - aides that think religon is a problem, do you have any doubt why GWB had a 28% approval at the end of his term.

[silverleaf]

“Name me one moderate Republican who ever won.”

uhhh, Bush 41.
and Bush 43.

Unless you count them as conservatives?

And if the Romney-backing Bush dynasty is conservative, then is the definition of “conservative” that excludes Santorum and Romney?

[Sea Parrot]

This is the second combat tour for Track Palin.

[iopscusa]

The Bush Crime Family did have the tool D-bag Frum as a speech writer. That’s a clue to what these Moderate R’s are about, never forget the Republican Party is the reconstituted Whigs that gave the country the ‘Reconstruction’ after managing to get 500,000 citizens killed and tried to pass ‘Amnesty’. We need something better than this!

I tried to watch this last night. Julianne Moore was just AWFUL and I do mean AWFUL as was Ed Harris! I had to turn it OFF! I knew it was going to be a hit piece and I know Hollywood HATES Sarah but why such bad acting? Maybe these two were always bad...I don’t watch movies much!!

[Truthfreesus]

Is it just me or do Moore’s cheekbones/mouth look man made?

[RobbyS]

You mean they are still afraid of her?

[RobbyS]

Given what happened on September, when the Bush Administration gave away the store, McCain immediately became irrelevant. Recall how Bush’s Democrat Secretary of the Treasury, dissed Sarah after McCain introduced her on the phone. “How dare she call me by my first name.”

[RobbyS]

No, they are doing what the director told them to do, and the script writer had them say. The characters were caricatures of people we have actually seen, many of in person.
