Rumor mongering about Haley. You’ve posted as many Haleygate threads as I have, maybe more. It’s just that you believe in the upstandingness of any of Precious’ endorsements, while I can see its a mixed bag.

"this is positioning to gain support in these crucial Primary states and block Mitt or Huckabee form major gains in those contests"


If true, it is also the least excusable justification for supporting a candidate. Making endorsements based purely on promoting her own career is a move that is far more of a turn off than the mere act of endorsing candidates I happen to disagree with.

I have spoke with Popaditch face to face. A great person.

The Dist. he is running in is over 80% reg. Democrat and large Mexican population. No chance.

She is hurting the conservative movement by supporting these bums.

Branstad is not a "bum."
Vander Plaats ran and lost twice already. Who is going to support a two-time loser?

but this is atleast a dozen RINOs she has chosen over true conservatives.

Carly is technically not a RINO because she has no record in public office to assess. McCain is a RINO but that endorsement doesn't count. So, Palin hasn't endorsed any RINOs.

Well that fits Ron Paul supporters are ok with being in last place all the time. they would have little problem switching their support for a loser like Ron Paul to a loser like Devore.

Actually the Treasure of SarahPAC is Tim Crawford. Between him and Sarah they run SarahPAC. NOT Greta’s husband all he did is the legal work to get it going.

He was still down in the polls when Huck endorsed him.

people who are in the race with 16% in the polls are not going to beat the democrat.

All or nothing gives you a Democrat

Arizona Gov. Brewer is backing McCain.

Yeah and you’re back to the old, angry and bitter pissant shortly after Duncan Hunter’s presidential run crashed and burned.

-—”Rumor mongering about Haley. You’ve posted as many Haleygate threads as I have, maybe more. It’s just that you believe in the upstandingness of any of Precious’ endorsements, while I can see its a mixed bag.”-—

Any independent audit would notice a very different purpose in the posting of the threads, including a very different tone in the follow-up postings by each of us.

But you already know that, whether or not you care to admit it (”Who's Gresham Barret again?” “Um....you mean that guy you just posted an article about yourself?....”)

If what you have seen is a “mixed bag,” it certainly does not show in your posting history. You have been of one mind for some time now, and blind in both eyes to anything except that which can in any way, even second or third hand, be used as a hammer against Sarah Palin.

You have a standard on record that nobody you ultimately endorse will ever be able to pass. You have painted yourself into a corner and left no way out other than to ultimately pretend not to hear everybody call you on your double-standards.

LOL. I don’t recall being bitter and angry. And I’m not now. It was the Fredheads and now the ringwraiths that are bitter and angry because we won’t give out a coronation.

The supposed purists who would bash Palin at every turn just don’t seem to register that the alternative is Mittens.

Huckabee ain’t my guy.

Yet he's endorsing a two-time loser for the Governorship.
Who cares about his endorsement anyway? Seriously, Huckabee's endorsement is no more meaningful than Blagojevich's. If I was endorsed by Huckabee I'd publicly denounce it.

I am a native of San Diego and have lived here for several decades.

You are in the state Washington and have no clue.
Your posts are all wishful thinking with no reality.

Duncan Hunter, RINO cheerleader (endorses all RINOs)

-—”If you ask me whether I would take a liberal Republican in a seat where his first vote would be for John Boehner for Speaker of the House, rather than Nancy Pelosi; or you are going to have a lefty in that seat who votes for Nancy Pelosi, my preference is always going to be the former.”-— Duncan Hunter

Duncan Hunter on McCain: “I’m not interested in further beating up on him” “I was the only guy in California who initially endorsed him in 2000”

Duncan Hunter on McCain vs. Hayworth: “They are both friends, they both campaigned for me, and I think it would be a disservice to that loyalty, to those friendships to formally endorse either one of them over the other.”
