Are you kidding?????? In 2010 she back stabbed JD Hayworth in the AZ Sen. primary by going on FOX and appearing right next to McCain, claiming he was what the tea party was all about. She then gave him a ROUSING endorsement.
In the final analysis, Sarah Palin is an honest patriot who truly loves this country and its people. She obviously erred in allying herself with the quisling, John McCain, and I have no doubt that she now feels dirtied and compromised by that association.
On one hand, I give her credit for not turning her coat on someone she's granted personal allegiance to - even as that ally is proving himself to be anything but the sort of person she naturally aligns with. On the other hand, there comes a point where the most honorable thing to do, is to publicly snip that bond, to preserve whatever personal integrity one has left.
It's a helluva conundrum, and it pains me to see this fine patriot caught in it. I'm sure she asks herself every day, what she ever did to deserve such a stain on her otherwise sterling reputation.
