Most conservatives that I know DO NOT like McCain, and Palin endorsing him may cost her in the politically arena. She owes John “Let’s just have fun” McCain nothing. In fact, he owes her. I had to hold my nose when I voted for McCain. He needs to go.

McCain is bad enough. But her endorsement of Rand Paul frankly stinks. And that stench is going to extremely hard to just wash off.

Kentucky doesn't think so.

In the senate race, Republican Rand Paul is 15 points ahead of his opponent, moderate Republican, Trey Greyson who looked like the favorite six months ago, Rand Paul also easily defeats his Democrat opponents.

Well, it may have been the 100 million in small contributions that are completely outside the scope of McCain Feingold?

Ya think?

Surely one as astute as oneself realizes that it takes yrs to build up a network of 50 dollar or less donors, yrs the GOP never spent, and typically ideolouges never bother to donate to anyway..the Dhimmis had no such problems...

To put that into perspective,Obamao raised in a day what FR raises all yr long...more or less...so please do stop with the childish “dumb *s*” stuff and consider “how” they managed to do what they did.

ObamAmerica ain’t no fun for anyone but his cronies.

If McCain is as universally disliked in Arizona as people here want to believe then the Palin endorsement should be meaningless.

So now your new routine is constantly attacking Palin supporters, your old routine was constantly attacking critics of Mitt Romney, good old dependable Charles.

Unfortunately I disagree with you .....the rats have done such a good job of demonizing Sarah that the majority would rather have an anti-American communist than Sarah for POTUS.

>Asked about libertarian Rep. Ron Paul’s (R-Texas) place in the GOP, Romney said “we welcome his participation in our party,” adding “we’re a big-tent party.”>

Mitt doesn’t have a clue, he would need a Circus Tent
for L Ron Paul and his side show of freaks

That right? Based on what, little boy? What have you ever done anywhere, besides nothing? C'mon, don't be shy, tell us right here. Your qualifications please.

Explain how you would have handled fifteen fraudulent ethics complaints with your own money. Easy, right? Pony up about a half million of your own money there, Turdblossom.

These Mittbots remind me of the Terminator, constantly changing shapes to avoid detection and/or the zot.

She is supporting Republicans as did Reagan. She is speaking everywhere and getting her own media time as did Reagan. In Alaska she got bogged down in defending endless frivolous lawsuits and it was becoming quite negative for her and for Alaska and would have bankrupted her finally (which makes the case for Loser Pays tort reform).

All you need is a sling and a rock and some modicum of faith. Who is fighting your battle? Are we in the end times? Are you on the side of the Living God or are you out there on your own? Chirp all you want.

Not all Palin supporters, just those who denigrate her in the guise of defending her.

I suppose some of them could be closet Paul supporters just pretending to be Palin supporters. But I think it is likely they are well-meaning people who think it helps the candidate to make excuses when none are needed.

If you read my comments in the “Palin went to Canada” thread, you would recognize that my arguments for Palin there are much like my arguments in old Romney threads.

I look at events and quotes, and look for alternative explanations that might better fit reality. While I have seen the media make up quotes, most of the time they get the quotes right, but misinterpret them.

Very good working theory. Here I thought the people bashing Palin for endorsing McCain in Arizona were simply incapable of rational thought. Now I see they could very well be people who are incapable of rational thought AND have an ulterior motive (push Palin aside for Paul or someone else).

As I’ve posted before we must ignore the situation that necessitates Sarah Palin’s involvement with John McCain at this point in time, and concentrate upon his defeat in spite of her obligation to him. It is her obligation, not ours.

We must all say sorry Sarah, but ol’ John’s gotta go, wish her well, and bid John McPain buh bye.

Ditto. McCain will be retired, and Sarah will still win in 2012.

I saw a kind of similarity, you used to attack Romney critics, now you attack Palin supporters, that is different but similar, we love all the attention that you devote to us, well, not really.

Patton had proven many times that he was a great commander.
Palin has proven that she is very popular.
Blind loyalty is not a virtue.

Nice job, and I agree. The beauty of the Primary system is we can send to the November elections the candidate the voters feel most qualified, or that best supports their interest. If McCain is the one, I hope these McCain haters will be their to vote for him in November, But somehow I think many of them will not - and will allow their state to give up a Senate seat to a 100% Liberal voter. Shame too, because the Republicans can't afford to give up any seat.

I'm not a McCain fan, but by God if he is the candidate in November I pray these people come to their senses.

I’ve seen the polls....and I’m not deranged...nor am I a sir.

BTW, I’d LOVE to vote for Sarah. I think she could save this country.
