Palin Wraps McCain in Tea Party Movement
FoxNation.com ^ | 3/27/2010 | N/A

Two years ago, John McCain transformed Sarah Palin overnight from an obscure first-term Alaska governor into a national celebrity when he picked her as his vice presidential running mate.
 
Now Palin is repaying the favor, putting her prestige on the line in an effort to help the four-term Arizona senator overcome his toughest re-election challenge ever.
 
The two campaigned together Friday for the first time since they lost the presidential race in 2008.
 
At the first of two rallies this weekend, Palin pumped up Tea Partiers, invoking the cause of the first Tea Party in 1773.
 
"Remember it was the Freedom Fighters and those who protested tyranny and big government," she said. "And that's what we're doing today."
 

"And when you think about that first Tea Party, shoot, some may claim that John was there, at the first Tea Party," she said with a laugh, poking fun at McCain's age. McCain, who is 73, grinned widely beside her.

So, when, exactly did the Tea Parties start? Right after the Keating scandal?

Sarah Palin has no business shilling for this Rino. What a shame.

I rather doubt many Tea Party Patriots are buying into McCain, even with Palin's endorsement. I'm more curious about what damage she is doing to her own image within the Tea Party movement by pushing McCain.

At this point I'm wondering if she's pushed herself out of the possibility of running for president.

Palin is only making matters worse for herself by continuing to support flaming socialist McAmnesty.

The days of the conservatives supporting RINOS because they have an “R” after their name are OVER!

The title of the piece makes me wonder about Fox news. Can’t McCain study the words of Douglas McArthur and “JUST FADE AWAY!”

I love Sarah, but she is not doing herself any good with this claptrap. It’s like watching The Beauty and the Beast.

Don't malign Sarah Palin for repaying McCain 'in kind' for thrusting her into the Public Eye.

The Demoncrats will just use our negative words back at us to ridicule us.

If you're from AZ or not, you can donate to JD Hayworth and help him win.

Again, I repeat, Do Not Give The DemoncRats fuel for their brush fires. Do Not Malign Republicans, we NEED a Republican Majority in House and Senate. We can "clean up" in 20-12 and the future. Because when the "kids" [yuppies] find out that the 'tax break' they got last year must be paid for in this year's Federal Income Tax, they'll be ripe for Conservative Membership!

Lord have mercy. If conservatives buy into this. They will buy into anything.
