Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin today posted this Status Update on Facebook:
On this day in 1973 the Paris Peace Accords were signed. Although controversial, this treaty resulted in the release of our American POWs in Vietnam. Among them was John McCain. Our courageous POWs had endured unimaginable punishment at the hands of enemy captors in their sacrificial service to country. Our appreciation for them cannot be adequately articulated.
So many of these vets and POWs have continued to serve our country in private life. They’re still fighting for America and showing their love of country in all they do. Some like Congressman Sam Johnson of Texas and Senator John McCain serve us in the halls of Congress today.
I consider Senator John McCain an American hero and a friend. He fights to remind our President that the federal government’s first priority must be strong defense of our homeland, and, like Congressman Johnson, he fights against big-spending colleagues who don’t prioritize for our military’s needs. Upon the Senator’s shoulders he’s carried part of our message of opposition to today’s “fundamental transformation” of America directly to the problem: President Obama and Harry Reid’s far left agenda.
I appreciate Senator McCain's steadfastness in demanding truth in the White House’s Benghazi cover-up. Because of his persistence we WILL get that truth, and then more eyes will be open to see how dangerous an Obama-led retreating America is in this volatile world.
It goes without saying we don’t all agree on all political issues. For instance, I shall keep pushing to open ANWR, I oppose letting illegal aliens cut in line and receive American benefits via “immigration reform,” and I oppose any Congressional action that allows President Obama to incur more U.S. debt. During this time of dangerous lawlessness in the executive branch, those who agree on stopping the intended transformation of our country had better unite to fight. So at this time, it's perplexing to see Senator McCain’s good efforts to uncover the Obama agenda being ignored and perhaps even hindered now by those wanting to censure the Arizona Senator. Despite our differences on some other issues, there is no questioning Senator McCain’s dedication to national security in spite of the White House’s agenda.
We live in a time of diminishing virtues because of societal influence towards total self-centeredness. This is unfortunate and makes raising families, conducting business, and governing that much more challenging. I know how important the virtue of loyalty is because in politics it’s pretty much nonexistent. I stand on that most important virtue and answer those asking today: “Yes, I am proud to have been asked to run with him in 2008, and he is my friend.”
One more thing, if you've met his beautiful mother you know where he gets his tenacity. Roberta McCain is one tough Mama Grizzly.

You’re precisely right, sweet palin45potus.
I had the honor and pure delight of meeting Sarah Palin in person last December 7!
I’d be shocked to my very soul had she written off John McCain for some political disagreements short of another WBTS!
Gotta find something to disagree with a Real Conservative on.
Even though Sarah just said in her post that she disagrees with McCain on....everything.
So Vote for Christie, OR ELSE!
Your absolutely right..Sarah Palin has been through hell and back, she has every right to support whoever she wants..she is a great human being God bless her!!
I don’t know about being “loyal” to him, as much as she’s a friend to him. She points out a couple of her differences with him in this tribute.
I agree with you that she has always shown him much more respect than he has shown her, but that puts her in the much higher light and IMHO, in the much higher and stronger position.
Alright you Palin supporters, justify this piece of nonsense!
ROTFL.
Yeah ... vote Christie and shut up, you whacko-birds!
Why shouldn’t she? Because she is suppose to be loyal to truth first!
Neither of them should be in any leadership position.
I agree.
I think in a way because he helped bring her into the national stage, she feels maybe not loyalty, more like an obligation to him and that’s O.K..she can support and like whoever she pleases..I think that some people think that we have to agree with Sarah on every single person she supports, that is not the case, we can disagree with her support of McCain but I will always and i repeat will always support Sarah Palin..she is someone I admire greatly
Right. I’m right with you there. These days, I rarely agree with McCain.
I wish McCain would get some of his mother's "tenacity" in regards to Constitutional conservative values. I wish he were a Papa Grizzly for America's free enterprise system and our free market health care system. There is something wrong with McCain when he is so tone deaf on so many important issues.
BTW, DrO said that McCain’s mom was always a pistol and a very nice lady, when he first met her over 60 years ago. Very nice of Sarah Palin to mention her.
Well i can top that..I can’t stand McCain..he is a mega jerk and douche bag(k I feel better now lol) she must see something in him that I will never see :)
LOLOLOL. Excellent!
My turn: RETIRE! Get out of town!
Sarah is a very gracious person..she shows great respect for his Mom so that was really nice of her to do
Hahaha well Sarah did say in her post that she disagrees with the censure McCain got..I disagree, he deserves to get his ass kicked out of office..did he even ever apologize for calling us whacko birds..wait, I’m gonna go eat some birdseed since I’m apparently a bird lol
Yeah, well, I liked the censure he got!!!
On THAT, I disagree with Sarah Palin.
Yeah kick his ass to the curb..you see that is what makes us supporters unique..we don’t have to like or even support every decision or every opinion Sarah Palin has..she is her own person..and well, so are we :)
We’re expecting SNOW here in the morning, (MAYBE a whole inch or two)...lol. I’m going to bundle up and try to sleep so that I’ll get up in time to see the snow fall. Good night, God bless and keep you.
