OK. Mammy is still the one ...
The trouble is now that she’s put herself in a very bad position. Damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t.
Steve Schmidt is a nasty POS and a also a Democrat. My guess is Soros paid McCain and Schmidt to insure McCain lost.
i think mccain is a very rich old man. I dont believe he is a coward in the traditional sense of word but he allowed other to treat his running mate badly. No excuse for that.
I think he is a RINO. So JD is a welcome addition and I will support his efforts to replace John.
Your trained seals not performing up to expectation?
No fire in her belly? After what has been done to her and her family? Man, talk about a fair-weather-fan. To her loyalty has a high value. But to some people, that is an inconvenience if it doesn’t suit the time. Those are the types of people that put their finger in the air to see which way the winds are blowing. Is that what you want?
Besides, she was not in MA because it would have done more harm than good. I wonder, what would have happened if Coakley had won. Would you be blaming her? My guess is that you would be. I mean, if it takes so little to rattle you.
I think Sarah was not in Mass. because she wasn’t invited to be there. If I’m not mistaken, she wasn’t asked to endorse Scott Brown.
I’m not crazy about her helping John McCain, but I don’t think she did anything wrong regarding Scott Brown.
Sarah wasn’t asked to help in MA. She only goes where she is asked. So take your ‘fire in the belly’ comment elsewhere.
You expect whomever you are going to support for political office to share 100% of your ideology and to meet all of your expectations?
BTW, Schmidt does not come off well in Going Rogue.
It is worrisome as to her judgment, which up to now has been flawless. IMHO
Have you ever thought that she did contact Brown and Brown asked her NOT to attend because in MA, she would be a distraction. Also, she might not of been needed. I can tell you this: her surrogates, from various blogs/websites, have donated/volunteered to Brown’s campaign.
Sarah has a busy 2010 schedule at various conventions and campaigns. Have some patience before you casualy throw her off the boat.
As to helping McCain, that’s just being prudent. Reguardless how you personally feel about McCain, he’s an influential senator with connections. If the GOP makes a comeback in 2010/2012, his stature/rank will only increase. Sarah will need allies in the house/senate (hence her stumping and speaking engagements in 2010).
Do you know if she’s actually running? Or ever will? Why would she run if the “purity police” and “concern trolls” keep harping whenever they feel slighted???
Methinks you’re suffering Palin-withdrawl-syndrome?
Dear God, please tell me Sarah isn’t going to attract the “nobility” disease and come to town to spend four years trying desperately to show the dems how nice and reasonable she is in the hopes that they will listen to reason and work with her. Especially not after what the dem establishment and MSM have done to her.
If GWB had one big overall failing, that would be it. That rancid noblesse oblige just like his father’s that made him think that gentlemen don’t hit back no matter what. Especially from Katrina onward he just refused to defend himself (and his people). Maybe he didn’t mind the slings and arrows but his allies did and all that unopposed badmouthing eventually settled into the minds of the body politic.
Maybe “Maverick John” did give her her big break on the national stage but she doesn’t owe him this much.
At least—as another FReeper said earlier—not until the primary is settled.
I’m just waiting for McCain to be tempted to “reach across the aisle” to resume his old tricks in exchange for a slightly less stinking version of “health care” in order to win back the petting and stroking of the MSM.
I’m also worried about Scott Brown getting his pretty little head turned by all the glamorous trappings of the Capitol Hill lush life. You can bet your booty the lib establishment is getting to work on him already, trying to test just HOW firm his principles really are and just what he would be willing to trade for a WaPo style section puff piece and open invitations to those proverbial Georgetown cocktail parties...
OK. Mammy is still the one ...
What a stupid remark.
Who cares if you mind?
Sarah Palin is a private citizen, she can support or not support anyone she chooses. She is not asking for your vote so you have no say what she does. Sheesh, how stupid you sound. Get a life.
I disagree with John McCain on many issues but he is not a coward. Obama is a coward if you are looking for one.
It would appear that towards the end of the MA race momentum was in place and SP (and anyone else) wasn’t needed. Repubs would not want to use more politicking than needed, as it could only complicate things, if a win seemed very certain. The independents were the key and I doubt anyone perceived as right of center too much would have not hurt things in that state.
We all appreciate McCain’s service, but I think we are coming up on a big right swing, and all these left-leaning righties are going to have an uphill battle if the country’s mood shifts right. As classic free enterprise is the only hope of U.S. remaining the leading economy, once things turn around, left-wingers will once again be a laughing stock, and the left will be out of fashion. If the government does not “let up” and allow the recovery, all bets seem off to me. Just my 2 cents, for what they’re worth...
I suppose she wants a lot of face time, perhaps to promote a future run for the White House. But appearing on Oprah just turns me off. And it might do Mrs. Palin more harm than good.
mccain has done more damage to conservatives in America then any single person in history, IMHO. The Sarah I believed in would not actively support keeping a man like that in the GOP leadership. I was a big believer and supporter of her’s, but now she is no better then mccain. Yes I would vote for her in a general election over someone like obumber. But I will never support her in a primary or with my money or time.
I posted this on another thread earlier this evening, and the Palin worshipers immediately pounced with all emotion, no substance. I stand by my comment:
Yeah, well those of you that have a love affair with Sarah Palin going on had better take another look. I could never really understand the infatuation other than the more the Dems attacked her, the more the Pub base rallied around her. Other than that, from what I’ve seen is she has a charismatic personality and is a nice woman, but otherwise not particularly impressive as presidential material.
My distrust of where she stands on lots of issues, which I can’t figure out, is based on the fact that she was willing to partner up with John McCain for his presidential run in the first place. We all know what McCain’s policy stances are, and they are RINO to the max on all but a few issues. She was willing to back him and become his yes woman as VP should he have won. And we all know what those policy issues would have been, pro illegal immigration and amnesty, anti-waterboarding and/or “torture” of jihadists and their ilk, pro cap and trade, etc. etc. etc. And Sarah as VP would be parroting his policies.
Now that he has lost, she still has his back by campaigning for him. Her “loyalty” to him (even though all of his advisers during the campaign and until this very day have backstabbed her continually) supersedes what she should know is loyalty to the best policies for this country as a whole, not the individual (McCain) who opposes many of them.
I don’t trust her, I don’t trust those who claim they are mavericks, and like McCain, are more willing to attack their own Party than the opposition Party, as Sarah Palin is also wont to do. I hope somewhere along the line the Freepers on this website start to think about her with less emotional passion and more cool, logical thinking.
I am looking at other candidates to carry our banner in the next presidential election, as I can’t see Sarah Palin winning. Her negatives have been driven too high, not of her own doing, but nevertheless the end result is as it is, and her lack of ability to talk specifics over generalities on too many subjects is not a good sign as to her depth of knowledge on so many issues.
Hopefully, her being a Fox News contributor will help her to hone her skills on a variety of world topics and domestic issues. That will help I would surmise, In the back of my mind, I really don’t think she will run for President. Just a gut feeling. We shall see. Perhaps her being on Fox will have the same effect as Huckabee has had by being constantly in the public’s eye; however, how many of you are happy with that result, catapulting Huckabee into a major contender should he choose to run for President again. The law of unexpected consequences.
For too many, I believe Sarah Palin, not unlike when Obama ran and won, is a tabula rasa (a blank slate) upon which we the people fill it in with our political wishes and hopes. It didn’t work out real well with Obama, and I surely don’t want another mistake by hiring someone whom no one knows where he/she is really coming from politically. I want someone I can trust to not be another John McCain.
*watching palinistas heads explode*
I know Im going to anger people for saying anything negative against Palin but let be honest she will never be president.
