Palin 'Sickened' By McCain Camp Attacks
AOL News ^ | 11/06/08 | Liza Viana

Posted on 11/06/2008 6:43:11 PM PST by advance_copy

In an e-mail statement to CNN's Wolf Blitzer, a top aide to Palin said:

"This is so unfortunately and, quite honestly, sickening. The accusations we are hearing and reading are not true and since we deny all these anonymous allegations, there is nothing specific to which we will respond."

[snip]

Palin herself told CNN last night: "They're unnamed sources and that says it all," calling the people behind the leaks "small, bitter people."

[A list of key McCain staffers is below]

The enemy in your own foxhole is worse than the one across the battlefield. Here is a list of the key people in McCain's campaign (from a GWU student site):

Key People-Sen. John McCain

I think that there are some good people who were on McCain's staff, but every one of them can only be held suspect unless there is definitive evidence they weren't involved in the backstabbing (and it had better be good proof).

Any candidate that hires one of these is possibly hiring a backstabbing twerp. Take note of it; flush any political association with any of them unless you have perfect confidence that they aren't the rats.

McCain needs to step forward and stop this nonsense.

I don't know about you, but I already miss Sarah Palin - it's going to be a long 4 years.

Sarah deserved better. Next time hopefully she’ll be at the top of the ticket and can set HER agenda instead of following the mushy, muddy, murky message of McCain.

IT’S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT PALIN IS BEING SET-UP BY THE MODERATE REPUBLICAN FACTION TO ABORT A 2012 PRESIDENTIAL BID.

McCain could have made some deal (he’s good at that) with Hussein to take her down. It would serve Hussein, and McCain is just naturally vindictive, especially when it concerns his ego.

It was a tough year for women. Palin still gives me hope!

It is obvious from this election that men reign. They hold the power postions, black or white!

Precisely the reason the liberal Republicans (like McCain) need to be purged from the party. They've been killing us for a long time. ...at short range.

Before the Romney haters start blaming him, let me say that John McCain is responsible for the smear campaign against Sarah Palin. It was his campaign. Those are his campaign workers. He is responsibile for everything that happens or fails to happen in his campaign. I don’t know who the leakers are, but it is McCain’s fault. It is also his job to stop it and to expose the culprits.

Sorry Sarah, but the dying animals growl the loudest.

She needs to spend the next couple of days remembering that McLoser got no money, no crowds and no support until she came along.

One of two posibilities here.

1. The moderates trying to hold onto the party dont like Palin or conservatives like her.

2. They see a geniune threat from the Conservative side of the party.

Perhaps a little of both.

I for one would not have voted for McCain if a conservative like Palin had not been running.

Thats why I say we need to throw out the moderates. Starting with Colin Powell.

The insults are stupid and so ridiculous they are not to be believed. And it could be all of Carl Cameron's unnamed sources don't exist, which makes Carl Cameron the back stabbing liar or a reporter! Now I could believe that since Carl said he knew about the claims of the unnamed sources a month before the election but it was not to be mentioned until AFTER the election. Great reporting from Carl Cameron! Needless to say, I have no use for him since he is the poorest excuse of a reporter!

The RNC is dead. They've all but bled out, and they're just doing the "kickin chicken"....thrashing around before they become still and cold.

The RNC isn't smart enough to know that McCain would have been absolutely HUMILIATED if not for Gov. Palin. It was only because of her that millions of us voted for his worthless carcass. In truth, we really voted for her...but he just happened to be there and voting for him was an unavoidable consequence.

We'll stand at a safe distance and watch the RNC die, and whatever we are called in the end is yet to be determined, but I can guarantee you that we won't be called the Republican National Committee.

What a raunchy thing for the Republicans to do to a fine lady, who gave her all for a no good leftist.

Pretty much confirms my concern that the party is over. There is only one party, the Social Democrat Party.

I am no longer a Republican!

And he should know this. He should live it. As a commissioned officer, when he was in the USN, he would have been responsible for the behavior of everyone within his command.

McCain was running for the top slot. The buck stops with him. If he couldn’t or wouldn’t control his staff, then that is proof that he was unfit for the job.

This episode proves that top levels of the Republican Party are unconcerned about winning. These attacks are made because they FEAR Sarah Palin... a good conservative with a history of giving the figurative finger to party apparatchiks. The apparatchiks ran a terrible campaign. They are simply marxist light. This is a power push by smarmy cowardly apparatchiks. They want liberal candidates because liberal Pubbies will spend spend spend and that empowers the traitorous bureaucracy of the Party.

The only reason I will ever vote for the Republicans again is if they field candidates like Sarah. The liberal Pubbies are every bit as evil as the Obamanation and they are more dangerous to the conservative movement than the Rats because they are lying backstabbers. The Party must be purged of these moles if it is to stand a chance.

No more Bushes, McCains or any other Rat moles. If the Pubbies field liberals (attention Ratt Romney) I’m outa there.

Myth Romney: "You will embrace this attack on Gov. Palin and her children using Jindal's and McCain' and Huckabee's names
like our attacks on McCain and Thompson using Huckabee's name. Support it, from our lands in
the north using the fake law enforcement badges we fabricated. I will gain GOP favor by condemning it and
ordering it opposed from our lands in the south with Fox News and the MSM. Whichever way
the tide runs, we will rise."

I just wrote a "note of thanks" on johnmccain.com - I told him that he must step forward and support her, denounce all who continue to slander her, and demand they put a stop to it.

Sarah deserves no less for all the trash-talking she has had to endure while campaigning for him.

Agreed.

Let me preface my comments by saying that John McCain is a true blue American hero who has more bravery in his pinkie finger than I could every muster up in a lifetime.

However, you're right: mushy, muddy, murky.

When McCain continually said during the campaign “I've reached across the aisle and worked with Democrats...”, I pictured liberals/Democrats saying “Great! I'm voting for Obama!”, while many conservatives said “UGH! I'm staying home!”

RINO’S sink to a new low, blaming the VP pick for them losing the election. It would be funny if it wasn’t so infuriating.

RINO huntin’ time. We have to turn out in the primaries.

Ford - Loser
Reagan - Win
Reagan - Win
Bush - Win on Reagan coattails
Bush - Lost because of Bush
Dole - Loser
Bush - Won promising conservatism
Bush - Won on National Security, Governed as Rino
McCain - Loser

See a trend here?

RINO’s trying to re-write history, the battle for the soul of the party has started.
