Then don’t drink the kool-aid. See how easy that was.

Let McCain bad mouth her, he will be showing who he is and was. She needs to step away from McCain, not toward him. It may be too late for me. It is all about her judgement and endorsing a RINO of the third degree is bad judgement.

McCain was wise to exploit Palin’s potential for his Presidential bid.

McCain realized the power of Palin, and decided it would help him in his Senate reelection.

I’m still trying to figure out how McCain’s political quests have helped Palin. No doubt Palin is more popular, but she is also unpopular and paid a serious price for the visibility.

Would Palin’s life be more fulfilled if still Governor, leading a peaceful life in Alaska with her family?

Does Palin owe McCain anything? I don’t think so.

I would MUCH rather have had McCain than Obama. On just about every issue.

Sarah Palin is doing the right thing.

Yes I’d rather have J.D. Hayworth. She’s still doing what’s right, life can be like that.

Let's see, maybe is my lack of Logic. Don't worry I still love Sarah dearly and I always will, still, her actions have me really scratching my head... so I as asking myself...

--------------------------------------------------

(2) + (2) = 4... right?

(If McLAME is everything we detest in a politician and the GOP establishment)

+

(and Sarah is everthing we love about the new politician representing the Anti-establisment, but she was ready to put her reputation and influence on the line, to re-elect this weasel...)

=

(WHO IS SARAH PALIN REALLY?)

I completely agree. She could have waited...she owes nothing to McCain at this point. She was incedibly gracious to both he and his family in her book and made it clear she was fond of him & she thanked him; obligation over. As I’ve posted before, it all points to ‘judgement’ (imo). Is she misreading the voters this badly?

True.

Planned parenthood is a front for abortion.

Only thing is ... there are those that will always be able to get abortions in a dark alley or whatever. There are doctors that will do them or others that are not truly qualified. Individual women makes the decision and it is their decision.

It is shameful for America to subsidize abortions. And dangerous, and psychologically damaging, as well. Not to mention sinful!. God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.

Your comment just made me think of something. Maybe she will campaign and be as loyal to him as he was to her on the Presidential trail!

A reasonable question thus arises: If Palin is a true blue Tea Partier and a true believer in the “fight for values and policies,” why is she supporting Perry and not Medina?

Are you aware of ANY true Conservative that has been supported by Palin? I don't know of one. Even with whatever small support she may have lent, her preferences are clearly toward Bakerite Globalist "moderates".

Correction:So I AM asking myself

When will FR update the software so that the poster can Edit his posts, as I have seen this in other forums? That would be a great improvement.

Bad moves have consequences in conservative politics, and backing McCain over Hayworth is a bad move for a conservative, but it is done. The best thing Sarah can do at this point is do as little as possible, and if an opportunity comes up to get out of the Hayworth vs McCain primary fight, take it.

Who knows what kind of deals and promises have been made? It’s sad.

Palin’s support for McAmnesty clearly shows she does not support Conservative values.

I have always been a huge Palin supporter, and I still think she is a wonderful person.

My concerns of late are not so much her lean towards McCain't...I see that as simply repaying a favor...but I don't think she should have joined up with FOX news, and I sent her an email saying just that.

Beck and O'Reilly threw her a 1-2 punch right off the bat and put her in the same position as Couric did, and I found it disgusting. It has also put me off on Beck for his ambush too. O'Reilly really didn't surprise me because he's normally and @$$hole anyway.

So far I don't see her as a Fox News "contributor" but as a Fox News punching bag for the boys of BORBeck Mountain.

She should politely step back from McCain't and get too busy on the road to deal with the rainbow boys on FOX.

I’m a Palin supporter that thinks she deserves to give McCain the same loyalty he showed her when she was attacked by his staff and family. This is a bad decision.

If you look at the timeline..he started being kind when he realized it was in his best interest to be.

Very true, the trashing of Sarah has been going on for months, and the only 'defense' I ever heard from Juan was something like, he was proud of her contributions to the campaign. He never defended her against any of their very specific charges being thrown out by his former campaign aides.

And his bringing Sarah in to endorse him coincides very closely with the November 20, 2009 poll that showed Juan in a dead heat with J. D., and with J.D.'s indications that he was very likely to challenge Juan.

McCain is using Sarah. He cares nothing for what conflict it causes her with many of her base supporters. Either that, or Sarah is no conservative, or she simply hasn't formed positions on many issues. But she risks painting herself, not as a Reagan conservative as she claims, but as a McCain RINO. And this thing has seven months to run since Arizona has one of the later primary voting days: August 24 or 31 (have seen both at different sites).

She's thrown in for now with a proven backstabber and party underminer. I hope she'll find a way out without becoming a McCain RINO, or revealing herself to be one.

My favorite excuse is the “if she didn’t do this, the media would call her names” line. Have these people been in a coma for the last 18 months? Nothing she can do will ever stop the media from attacking her. And if avoiding media attacks is going to be the basis for her decision-making from now on, that means the media controls her... and she’s useless to her country.

People aren’t hearing the excuses they’re making for her. They’re not even trying to think this stuff through. That kool-aid must be powerful stuff.

Whatever I did to you, I apologize. Your anger towards me is kinda bizarre. So let’s leave it alone...ok?

I’m not a huge McCain fan myself, but IMHO it’s incredibly silly to expect Sarah to not campaign with him if he wants her help. He picked her to be his running mate for Pete’s sake.

Baloney.

McCain wants to talk with dems in passing a "healthcare" bill that should be shredded.

McCain does not believe in the Rule of Law, and thus does not support the US Constitution. If he did, he would support deporting ILLEGAL aliens instead of condoning lawbreakers living in this country.

McCain, his wife and kids are nuts.
