yeah and Rand Paul, sean duffy, rick perry, and there will be countless others. Some I will agree with some I won’t but it doesn’t matter because I agree 100% with her message of smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense and good morals.
She could endorse a democrate and I wouldn’t care. It is the message that she and only she is singing on the national stage that Im signing up for.
And she is 100% correct here too. take over the party and kick the rino’s out like Crist in FL going independent lets see how that works out for him. the center is not a base.
That deserves its own post.
go ahead and post it just found it surfing not mine.
Thank you for posting that.
I want Palin to run, I believe she will win if she does. I want her to be my president, but even if she isn’t, I will respect and support her.
Correct! This is her Mulligan. Intelligent people know why she is doing this. If J.D. wins she will wait out the requisite mourning period for her friend and benefactor(/s), a period of time lasting the grand total of a few microseconds, and then feel free enough to jump on the J.D. battlewagon.
What will make my head explode will be the effort by Juan to put words in her mouth proclaiming his Magna Conservita. It will be sad to see her reciting his "conservative credentials" looking like a political prisoner or hostage reciting some loony's manifesto that is obviously not from the heart while the loony is holding the gun just off camera. Can she pull it off without looking like a Stepford wife, or does she intend to do exactly that with the words "I Don't Mean A Word Of This" written on her hand to be accidentally picked up by the camera.
Palin should know that we already are in charge but we don't have the courage to admit it to ourselves. When we find it the libs and the country-club-rinos will not know what hit them.
If Sarah just speaks to the good thing that McCain has done, and does not embellish, I will give her a pass. If Sarah starts making comments about McCain’s strong stance against illegal immigration then I will even lose faith in her. However, Sarah is not stupid, so I think she will be able to walk the tightrope well enough for my applause.
Remember Mitt's "Me, too!" moment in the primary debates? Then he was reacting to Fred Thompson (ironically, the only one at that debate to show any sign of life); now he's reacting to Palin.
Yep...and endorsing McCain is a great start!
______________________________________________________________
I bet she’d love to not have been put into the situation of having to endorse the man who put her on the national stage. This was a tough call for Sarah; no doubt.
It is funny how on one side some chastise Palin for her McInsane affiliation, and the others chastise her prominence since. Me, I basically see her as something the rest of the GOP doesn’t see her as, and that’s a patsy. And hopefully, that’s all she’ll be. Let her take the current GOP punching in the media, but push someone like Paul Ryan or whomever as an actual candidate in 2012...
Must be a lot of scared .... here too.
Take it or not, but neither Beck or Palin care what the detractors think. It makes them stronger. It's American and they are loved for it
Precisely.
And quite frankly, you'll find your self repeating that over and over again to some of the more politically inept or willfully blind on this board, who have no concept of how our political system works, or how deals must be made in order to win nominations and elections.
(((PING)))
I don’t think she consulted with McPain on that one. McPain is the best representative I know of “business as usual” in D.C.
Aren’t all “high-level” Republicans endorsing McPain. I have heard of none backing J.D.
Not a touch call at all: instinctual
touch=tough
McPain would sooner endorse Obama in 2012 than droup out in 2010. He does his best when fighting “other” Republicans.
“McPain would sooner endorse Obama in 2012 than droup out in 2010. He does his best when fighting “other” Republicans.”
And is a liar just like Obama while doing it.
You guys have NO concept of political loyalty, do you?
What the hell could Sarah accomplish by stabbing the guy in the back who made her a household name?
Sheesh.
You better get use to it because Sarah Palin will never throw McCain under the bus. He is a war hero and that is why Palin will stand with him. Like she said, people are human and will disappoint you but don’t lose sign of the big picture and that is 2010.
Romney is another George Bush the First. If you want another Rino in the WH pic Romney. Romney has a bunch of advisers to help him with his intellect curiosity.
T-Paw is a one term governor with no foreign policy and a bunch of advisers to advise him on his “intellect curiosity” tooo.
Another governor has hired a bunch of advisers to advise her too on her intellecdt curiosity but she is the one being attacked by Jeb Bush and others.
You would think the way Jeb’s brother was trashed he would know better.
Why is Jeb Bush throwing mud at Sarah Palin.
It is time the Bushes follow the path of the Kennedy’s.
Just go away if you think it is your job to trash.
YOUR TIME HAS PASSED SO GO AWAY !
As far as I know her only sin was endorsing McCain, which despite it being a bit incongruous with her political philosophy, is also very understandable. I forgive her, and so do millions more. Ind I respectfully disagree with you regarding her support going away.
Now, if she were to endorse Patty Murray, Barbara Boxer, and Henry Waxman, well then, that would be a different story! Then I’d have to agree that a lot of her current support would indeed go away. But over this one shot item that she really had no choice over, no, it won’t happen. ;>)
she is better showing loyalty to who brung her to the dance.
she can distance herself afterward.
Thanks for posting the wonderful Dewie Whetsell list of Sarah’s accomplishments in Alaska.
Uh, she’s right.
Now if she would just back off McNasty - even a little.

Agreement by a candidate on the majority of these issues is hard to find. Which is why I AM FOR SARAH.
The main things are the main things, and She is for all the main things. And has demonstrated it. MO.
Father help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.
I have said it many times. Anybody including Obama, the Far Left, RINO’s, Mittbots, Ron Paul supporters etc who try to claim that Sarah Palin is not anything but a Reagan conservative is barking up the wrong tree. You would have a better chance to claim she was a right-wing extremist nutjob or celebretard imho, which is not true either.
Let me tell it straight from a Palin supporter. John McCain brought her to the prom dance and made her the belle of the ball when prior to it she did not even have a ticket. In politics or in life in general this is called payback, which is an acknowledgement that you would not be where you are without someone’s help or guidance.
I’ll give you an example of payback. In 1939 William Holden was a fledgling young actor starring in the movie Golden Boy with famous actress Barbara Stanwyck. Holden was nervously flubbing his lines in rehearsal and essentially was this close to being fired by the movie studio. Barbara Stanwyck went to bat for him, insisted he would be outstanding if given a chance and defended him to the studio heads to the hilt and helped him during off hours to rehearse his lines and as a result he managed to give an excellent performance, and remember Stanwyck also had to memorize her own lines as well. Holden knew how kind and generous Stanwyck was to him. As history shows Holden went on to become a superstar actor, but he never forgot Stanwyck. Whenever he could he would take the opportunity to praise her for saving his career and on the anniversary of Golden Boy’s release each year, he would send Stanwyck a single red rose to commemorate that. Holden never forgot Stanwyck.
And Palin will never forget John McCain. Having said that, as Holden moved on with his career without Stanwyck, once McCain win the GOP primary and wins re-election as Senator from Arizona, she can also move on after 2010 with her own career as the standardbearer for the Tea Party movement and the conservative cause.
She understands conservative 3rd parties only serve to elect democrats. The only REALISTIC solution is to take back the Republican party.
HOW we do that is another matter, but that should be the goal.
It’s a safe bet for Mitt to lend a hand to McCain as John will certainly not run again for Prez but Mitt definitely has plans to and he wishes to stay in the good graces of the “big boys” who decide who the candidate will be. UGH!
THAT's what the tin-hat folk who fashion themselves as being the "real grass roots" don't understand - without McCain, Sarah would still be a popular gov. from the land up North!
It is important to understand what came first and it was McCain's choice (or at least he allowed it) to place a powerful voice for real conservatism in the GOP.
Sarah has said more than once, that she and McCain don't agree on a "number of issues" but she acknowledged his patriotism and service to his country!"
End of subject.
Hey!! Stop making sense! The face-spiters can’t understand and certainly won’t miss an opportunity to fly their “Me So Pure” flag.
Ahh-ha-ha-ha! I can’t believe you posted that! Geez.
Every thread hijacked by the ‘but she endorsed McCain’ people who never really liked Sarah in the first place.
I like it! My Girl rocks!
Jo, you would be better off to abandon this discussion now else you end up with egg on your face.
The point is, she will at minimum go on record as having held her nose and boosted McCain through whatever crazy ideas he may have between now and November (such as unneeded, Big-brother style, European-style regulations on food supplements). All that will come under the aura of the label “statesman” that she is using, even though “snakesman” may be more like it.
If she does not run for office but chooses to boost another candidate for President, this hangs a question mark over the wisdom of her endorsement. If she runs for office, one wonders what circumstances would move her to euphemize past a smelly situation once in office.
I’m not agreeing with the people who say that Mitt’s any better. She may prove to be “least worst” of all viable candidates for all we know, and may be worth holding our nose and voting for.
thanks for posting that! Wow. She’s awesome. :)
I don’t feel the need to hold my nose to vote for Sarah Palin. What I was saying is that I don’t think Sarah Palin will focus on the issue where she disagrees with McCain. I think she will focus on the issue which you and she both agree with McCain. :-p You agree with McCain on some issues. ;-p
I love Palin, but I’d be lying if I did not say her endorsement of McCain leaves a bad taste in my mouth. He’s a PROGRESSIVE and any endorsement of such, is not a good thing.
Although I get the whole “political favor” thing, I think some of the endorsements are a bit overboard considering the goals we have to take over and oust the PROGRESSIVES. In other worse, endorsing one, does not help the cause. Esp. one like McCain. He needs to just retire, IMO.
But I truly hope it does not hurt Sarah. Many do not like McCain and his whole political persona and just being associated with him, may give her “guilt by association” or at the least, make her true political agenda questionable.
As for the Tea Party taking over the GOP - damn straight. THEY need to come to US!!! Bring back conservative, constitutional values. AMEN!!!
That's easy
So McCain will support him in his run for the Presidency in 2012
“And we know she can’t do anything but endorse McCain.”
She absolutely CAN and has made her choice.
Oh pulllleezzzzeee.
He wanted that job bigtime, and still can't accept that he lost.
He even admits it to Obama in front of a national audience.
Sure it can - by those who knew about her and supported her BEFORE McCain selected her to be his running mate:
Are you one of that microscopic group?
Good for you if you're one of the 3 people outside Alaska who'd heard of her.
He was for amnesty, supported the eco fascists, and had an open borders dual citizen advisor. The only good thing he did was to pick Sarah Palin for VP. The Mccain camp then got their panties inb a twist when her prescence on the ticket started closing the gap..
