I don't agree with this. I don't think Palin was ever in lock-step with McCain. My only problem with her as it relates to him was her endorsement of him in 2010 to return to Washington.
By endorsing him, she made it seem she agreed with his disgusting behavior and policies. And when she told the Tea Party he was one of them, shared their beliefs, I considered it to be untruthful.
My main beef with this, was that it clouded people's view of what she really did believe or support. It was a massive mistake. It displayed terrible judgment.
It was just payback for picking her as the VP candidate.
She may have thought, for a while, that he was for real.
Most American conservatives thought the Bushes and Rove were for real. For a long time.
Thanks for posting that. You saved me the trouble. Right on point.

McCain put Sarah in a very difficult position when he asked for her endorsement in his last Senate race. He had to know that her endorsement would be the kiss of death with some of her very conservative supporters, but did he care? Not a whit.
If she'd failed to give him her endorsement, the left would have hung the 'ungrateful backstabbing wretch' label around her neck for life.
Rock and a hard place, that one.
