In endorsement battle, score one for DeMint over Palin
CNN ^ | 8/4/10 | Staff

Posted on 08/04/2010 1:02:41 PM PDT by pissant

This time a Sarah Palin endorsement wasn't enough for victory. But score another win for Sen. Jim DeMint.

Rep. Todd Tiahrt was edged out by Rep. Jerry Moran in a battle between two conservative congressmen for the Republican Senate nomination in Kansas. Moran is now considered the overwhelming favorite in November's general election to succeed GOP Sen. Sam Brownback, who is running for Kansas governor rather than for re-election to Congress.

Tiahrt was endorsed by the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee in June. In a Facebook post, Palin said Tiahrt was "a protector of our Constitution, a pro-family, pro-Second Amendment commonsense conservative who has never voted for a tax increase."

“I support his [McCain] position on immigration.”
- Sarah Palin, Mar. 27, 2010


In her defense, McCain's 2010 immigration position is an improvement over his 2007 position. :) Now if I just believed him....

Not a conservative position, not a Christian position:

..Ours is an age of gender confusion, encouraged by social engineers, feminists and various types of pansexuals. We are taught that gender roles are interchangeable, that they are neither biologically nor psychologically fixed, and that such roles are not terribly important in human relationships anyway. The Palins have clearly bought into this concept of “gender bending” and are now modeling it for our nation and the world.

Sarah and Todd Palin do not embrace pro-family values in regard to time-honored gender roles within the family structure. In essence, as much as Sarah desires that people see her as a woman who can do it all, along with a hunkish “dude” at her side, she and her husband have switched places. Todd has taken on the feminine role, while his wife has taken on the masculine

Because the cultists here insist Palin is not only a demi-goddess

Well, she sorta looks like a demi-goddess. Picture yourself at last call with one too many beers in your system and you look up and there, within smelling distance of your booze breath, stands Sarah Palin. Her hair down, her sassy little smile on her face, her moose gun over her shoulder . . . sorry dude, she is a demi-goddess.

McCain just reworded his amnesty plan, there is no change.

EDGED out, huh? Sounds like BOTH endorsements worked, it's just that the man DeMint endorsed happened to get a few more votes.
Yep, edged out by a few votes and the winner spent twice as much to do it. But the anti-Palin numbskulls won't mention any of that for some reason.

2008 election, Sarah let Republicans down:

“...women strongly supported Senator Obama over Senator McCain (56 percent for Obama, 43 percent for McCain).”

Just cause some women are STOOPID, and voted for Obama, doesn’t mean that Sarah let us down. I didn’t vote for Sarah because she was a women. I voted for her because she was conservative, and I hoped that, if McCain won, her ideas might mitigate some of his own RINO notions.

Palin didn’t pull her weight in 2008. Sarah gave us Obama.

I'm not big Palin fan at all, and I don't like those on FreeRepublic who think she's God, but if it weren't for Palin, McCain would have lost to Obama in Walter Mondale proportions.

Palin has NOT appeared with McCain since early spring. She has been back to AZ a couple of times and appeared with Gov. Brewer, but not McCain.

But, what I hear from friends stationed in Arizona, McCain uses the video of Palin endorsing him in just about every campaign commercial. What Palin did was unforgivable, IMHO.
