“But SHE SAID THOSE WORDS. It may have been canned BS fed to her by some campaign lackey, but when they came out of her mouth SHE OWNED THEM!!!....”

Another good point.....As a Palin supporter I have to agree that hurts.....McCain was a thorn in her side.....Brought her to National prominence very quickly, but the association is a negative.....I believe that will all be forgotten (except for the diehards like yourself) as she continues with her own message this time.....I have no doubt Palin if elected will stay on message and clean up like she did in Alaska......

There isn't one Palin supporter that actually liked her support of McCain. Outside of the weekend rally she attended with him, she didn't step foot in Arizona again to help him. But he was sure to use her political capital for his gain. Then of course, there's the McCain family swipes at Palin, even even subtle swipes from McCain himself. Then last weekend in Iowa, Palin took a good swipe at McCain with her 'And hobbits? Don't even know what that means (or something like that).'

People here want to make things out like McCain/Palin are best buddies. But if anyone studies the time since the 2008 campaign, it's pretty clear to me McCain doesn't like Palin and seems to me it's pretty clear Palin doesn't like him.

Picking her (he wanted Lieberman) was allegedly to get the grassroots AND to deflate the 'first black nominee' balloon. What he got was a LOT more than he intended, including a rock star who overshadowed him at every single event they were at. As someone who witnessed McCain/Palin first hand in Grand Rapids, Michigan, I can tell you with 100% confidence the crowd was there to see HER, and her alone. The loudest applause was for her and her alone. And I firmly believe this rally is the one she began 'going rogue' as she began to separate her views from McCain's.

With all that said, there isn't a single conservative out there that hasn't endorsed a RINO at one point or another. Whether we like it or not, it is a political game and reality.

Pretty frustrating, isn't it? When people can't understand that past is past, even if it's 3 years in the past (the Couric interview) or less than 2 years in the past (the strong support for McCain's Senate primary campaign).

Imagine how frustrating it is for those who support Perry. On FR, with many posters, past is NEVER past for Perry. Even 20 years in the past.
