I agree with you, and it worked. The reason I do not talk Sarah seriously, and never really have, is because of her support of that stupid idiot McCain AFTER the election.
She played politics- so she showed me she is a politician. Not a Patriot.
If she made a mistake, she should admit and ask for forgiveness.
>I believe that McCain was oblivious to what was going on in his campaign.<
.
You’re telling me that McCain was a Trojan horse’s ass?
He hasn’t changed much since that time, hasn’t he?
I’m not even sure how much McCain had to do with it. McCain had his mysterious “handlers,” and he did whatever they told him to do.
The two guys who were given the job of handling Sarah were lent to the McCain campaign by Mitt Romney. So, their purpose may have been to ensure that McCain lost, to prepare the way for Romney’s next try.
In any case, there’s not much doubt about the fact that when McCain chose Sarah Palin to be his VP, it gave his numbers a big bounce. The high point of his campaign was the nomination celebration, when Sarah was allowed to give her one and only speech to a national audience, without a muzzle on and two handlers handcuffed to her ankles.
Nonsense. Sarah owed McCain some loyalty for choosing her, and she paid the debt. She gave him about two days on the campaign trail. And she said very, very little in his support the rest of the time. She simply refrained from criticizing him, and I can’t blame her for that. Not her job, in the circumstances.
Glad you brought up his name. Schmidt is a Progressive, liberal Republican who somehow continues to wield influence over the party in spite of his impressive streak of losing campaigns. He is not the only one of his ilk, either. It is well-known in GOP circles that he absolutely, positively loathes Sarah Palin and opposed her as the choice for McCain's VP.
I am convinced that virtually the entire class of Republican strategists in Washington would be quite content to lose the next two or three election cycles if they could only rid the GOP of its conservative Tea Party base.
The plan would be to replace them with a new "base" of largely secular, socially liberal, and economically moderate voters largely composed of former Democrats who now consider themselves "independent".
People who believe in (and live off of) Big Government, and who see no role for Judeo-Christian values in public life have no use for real conservatives.
Seeing as how it resulted in a loss, I would say "no!"
You may not take Sarah seriously, but I think THEY take her seriously. For the exact reason you stated...even mcShame realized the value of a Sarah Palin endorsement.
