I want to hear your rosy telling of why Sarah ran on a ticket with John McCain.
lol...
ROTFL.
You think D1 is a Palin apologist/suppoter? Yer funny.
If you can come up with one you’ll be doing something I haven’t been able to do for eighteen months.
You know what, I’m sorry I answered you with an answer that addressed her 2010 support for him, and not the 2008 run on the same ticket which is what you actually addressed. I zoned and realized while I was out having dinner, that I probably had.
IMO, it’s a far different thing to run on a ticket with someone to moderate them, than it is to support them for re-election based on their disgusting past.
In 2008, McCain had already sewn up the nomination. The choices were to have a person thought to be much more Conservative, or have a person like Lindsey Graham. I’d much rather have Sarah in that conundrum.
Sarah wouldn’t have been president, but she could have voiced and opinion.
Then Sarah supported John in 2010, and the idea that she would have moderated him flew out the window. She made appearances with him on one day. Then she went on FoxNews (and perhaps another network, I don’t remember if she did or not the second), and endorsed him there. Then she produced some radio spots that McCain ran for at least five months on two popular radio stations in Phoenix.
At some point she also went to a Tea Party Rally and said something to the effect that John McCain was a Tea Party member. And in a separate incident, she stated she was a supporter of John’s agenda. Ouch.
IMO, it’s okay to moderate a ticket. It’s not okay to endorse a guy that is as big a schmuck as John McCain is. Sarah pretty much sealed her fate with me when she endorsed him for re-election.
I have some other issues with her too, but this covers what you mentioned, and then clarifies why I stated what I did earlier.
Take care.
