Paul Streitz has decided to call Sarah Palin by her real name, because she endorsed John McCain (who is trying to win a fifth term as Senator) and said she will campaign for him. Fanatic Palinites, such as the editors of the misnamed „conservatives4palin.com” website (they should rename it „liberals4palin.com”), lambasted him and called him a “backstabber”.
“If Paul Streitz’s support of Governor Palin is contingent upon his agreeing with every decision she makes or her selling out her deeply-held values, that’s unfortunate. While all support is appreciated, the governor has never been for sale. Ask the Alaska establishment, who learned that early in her political career.”
Palin has proven that she IS for sale – if one picks her for veep. She’s endorsed a despicable traitor because he chose her as his veep.
Palin is so dishonest (or so ignorant) that she didn’t even tell the truth about why she endorsed John McLame. She claimed that:
“John McCain is on fire to kill Obama’s government takeover of healthcare and that’s what I want to see.”
Which might be incorrect, because McCain favors the SAME policy on socialized medicine as Obama – he just might vote against this particular Act. McCain favors socialized medicine, as proven by Steven Warshawsky:
“McCain’s campaign website [of 2008 – ZM] demonstrates that his thinking on this issue is much closer to Hillary Clinton than Adam Smith. For example, McCain states that “controlling costs” is his top priority, and that “nothing short of a complete reform of the culture of our health system and the way we pay for it will suffice.” This is a recipe for massive government interference in the health care industry. McCain also supports universal coverage, claiming that “we can and must provide access to health care for all our citizens.” Completing the liberal trifecta, at the January 5 ABC NEWS debate, when Romney criticized McCain for “turn[ing] the pharmaceutical companies into the big bad guys,” McCain replied, “Well, they are.” Plainly, if he were president, McCain would serve as the Democrats’ “useful idiot” for their plan to impose socialized medicine on the nation.”
Also, I’ve heard from a friend that McCain will likely now try to save the socialized medicine bill. So on socialized medicine, McCain and Obama differ only about particular bills, NOT about the merits of socialized medicine itself.
What about the task of protecting the American people? No duty is more important than that one. But on that issue, McCain is also liberal and unreliable. Palin falsely claimed that:
“And his commitment and his leadership on national security to win the war on terror, that’s what we need. (…) national security, he gets it. He understands how to win.”
Palin is flat wrong. McCain is NOT committed to the task of defending the American people, and he’s not a leader on anything except liberal policies. He „doesn’t get it”. He doesn’t understand how to win the Global War on Terrorists, nor does he understand any defense issue or foreign policy issue confronting America now. I’ve written several articles pertaining to this guy, demonstrating what McCain’s specific policies are, and why they are wrong. So I’m not going to repeat those entire articles. Let me comment again on McCain’s policy on the GWOT, though, because that’s one specific issue that Palin mentioned.
John McCain does NOT say that America should attack its enemies before they attack America. He also endorsed Obama’s decision to close Guantanamo, and he opposes “enhanced interrogation techniques”, which are absolutely necessary to gain intel information and protect America.
McCain also buys the PC propaganda about the root causes of the Islamic threat. He believes that these root causes are “poverty, tyranny and despair”, and ignores what terrorists themselves say motivates them: the Quran, which contains several explicit commandments to kill nonbelievers.
In short, McCain doesn’t recognize the real nature of the Islamic threat, and he’s not prepared to combat it effectively. Anyone who isn’t prepared to combat it effectively is a person who doesn’t belong in the Senate. If the GWOT is the most important issue for you, McCain is undisputably the worst possible Senatorial candidate from Arizona.
I did not include McCain’s cretinous, liberal, anti-American policies on foreign policy issues other than the GWOT, even though I could (foreign policy is not limited to the GWOT, although Sarah Palin, as an ignorant person, doesn’t understand that). My articles about McCain refute his idiotic policies, so I just wrote a reply to what Palin explicitly said. She did not comment on McCain’s treasonous policies like nuclear disarmament and the progressive abolition of conventional weapon programs (which are necessary to protect America against China).
The failed 2008 VP candidate also said this about McCain:
“And he is a statesman, and I don’t hesitate at all to say, no.”
Which is not true. McCain is not a statesman; anyone who calls him a statesman insults real statesmen. A genuine statesman fights for the right policies, regardless of ideology; works for his country 24/7; and retires when he should.
McCain has spent the last 9 years promoting destructive liberal policies to punish the GOP for its decision to give Bush the 2000 Republican nomination; he’s been working against the US and for his liberal ideology (together with fellow liberals like Kennedy, Obama, Russ Feingold, and Hillary Clinton); and he has refused to retire – he’s vying for his fifth term as Senator. By comparison, George Washington refused to serve as President for a 3rd term, even though as of 1797, there were no presidential term limits. McCain is running to keep his salary, not to serve the American people, whose opinions are irrelevant for him.
Palin ended her statement thus:
“we do need his leadership, especially on those two fronts: Government takeover of healthcare, he wants to kill it; national security, he gets it. He understands how to win.”
See above. Her claims are false.
Whether she uttered those claims because she’s ignorant or because she knows they’re false and decided to lie for McCain, only Palin knows. Regardless of the answer to that question, she’s not qualified for the Presidency, as she has proven with these statements and other utterances. She embarrasses herself everytime she speaks. Conservatives4palin.com editors claim that she is simply behaving like a loyal person. But one’s own country is supreme to any person and any requirement for loyal individuals. When the choice is “Either the country or the person you should loyally endorse”, a real hero, a real patriot, a real statesman/stateswoman chooses the country, not the person. Palin has endorsed a strident liberal who’s trying to enrich himself with taxpayers’ money.
I was a fan of Palin myself. But I’m now convinced that she’s not a conservative, nor is she a politician qualied for the Presidency of the United States. She’s simply just another RINO endorsing another RINO. No real conservative would ever endorse McCain for the Senate.
McCain didn’t lose because some conservatives didn’t like him and stayed home. The few hundred thousand people who actually know that McCain is a loon unfit for the senate, much less the presidency, didn’t swing anything.
That's not what some other FReepers I've been reading have said... :-)
I guess it would be your word against theirs, then... but that's usual around here on Free Republic... a long list (in threads) of "he said" -- "she said"... LOL... and so on and so forth...
McCain lost because if your choice is between two pontificating hacks who don’t say much different pick the younger, more historic one. Obama beat McCain the same way he beat HRC. Sound the same - be prettier.
Just more of the "he said" -- "she said" type of dialogue going on here... not too much changes over the years here...
Remember, female freepers only supported Romney because he looked so good. I know, because that’s what the anti-Romney folks told me. :-)
I’ve said this before — Sarah Palin will be taken more seriously as a candidate when her supporters don’t find her looks important enough to bring up in every conversation.
LMAO You are so full of it.
Feel free to tell our illustrious founder that he is full of it, too... for supporting Palin... I mean... there are people who support Palin and who will continue to support Palin, here on Free Republic and for good reason. no matter the constant chattering of the nabobs of negativity... LOL...
Go Sarah!! Damn the naysaying nabobs of negativity!! Full steam ahead!!
I hate to say this, but I have to agree with the Romneybot for once.
It's a good thing our illustrious leader doesn't agree with you on supporting and promoting Sarah Palin against the "nattering nabobs of negativity"... LOL...
Go Sarah!! Damn the naysaying nabobs of negativity!! Full steam ahead!!
Go Sarah!! Damn the naysaying nabobs of negativity!! Full steam ahead!! - Jim Robinson
New Tagline. You Palin hating purists are coming out on the wrong side bigtime.
Pres. Reagan was a long time ago.
And one of the reasons why we're losing... :-)
I'll be supporting Sarah Palin for any office that she wants to go for... Go Sarah!
Scott Brown's victory was the shot heard 'round the world II; McCain's fall will be spectacular. I hope it happens.
GOD BLESS SARAH PALIN
BTTT
And that is what I am afraid of. It’s not the liberals that will destroy the GOP, its gonna be the GOP that destroys the GOP
Cutting her slack...you know, Star, what he thinks of John McAmnesty?
It’s Palin or Romney...and the conservatives will divide and be conquered as usual.
On this board, it's Mitt Romeny -- OUT! -- and Sarah Palin -- IN!...
That's the way it is, in case you didn't know it...
[and I've been that way with Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney from the first mention of either's names here for the elections...]
Cutting her slack...you know, Star, what he thinks of John McAmnesty?
As little as I do... LOL... but I still voted for him, and I would vote for him again, in another election with Sarah Palin and McCain against some Obama-type... :-)
Very SMART.... and really a cutie!
Perhaps if you and other ‘sit at home’ conservatives HAD voted for ‘Jaun McCain’ we wouldn’t be in the sinking boat we are in....you forget the congress has a say in things that do or don’t get done. And as the congress is seeing, the American people can talk loudly when needed.
I hope you are right, but I don’t honestly think he can be controlled by ANYONE, after all, we are talking about John “Maverick” McCain here - He does whatever HE believes is the right thing, whenever he believes it : | I REALLY wish Sarah had waited until after the primary.
Tatt, who is sadly remembering the bailout/stimulus fiasco, talking to his campaign staff, asking why in the HECK he was backing it, because it made NO sense. And THEY did not know why : /

Yep! The exact same sentiments I've seen repeated -- countless times -- by other FReepers on this board...
“On this board, it’s Mitt Romeny — OUT! — and Sarah Palin — IN!... “
That’s the way it should be.
But, I see conservatives dividing up as usual and putting Romney in.
...and from what I’m seeing on here and some other so called conservative blogs...(and I’m not talking about the nuisance Paulists or MittBots)...they are gonna hand the ticket to Romney.
Then they’ll come whining about how the RINO GOP screwed them. Fools.
Obama won by 9.5 million votes.
There were less than 2 million third party votes.
The ten people that told you they sat home last election doesn't make up for the 7.5 million vote gap even assuming McCain had gotten every single third party vote. The people who didn't vote weren't going to vote no matter who was on the ballot.
Math is not “he said/ she said”. Someone explain to me who these mysterious 7.5 million voters are that are so involved in politics that they had a conscientious objection to voting for McCain and Obama and yet stayed home and didn't vote for anyone.
Politics are dependent on human behavior. Behavior of an individual can not be predicted with much accuracy. Behavior of millions of people can be predicted very accurately. How do you thing congress, which normally had approval ratings in the 20's, gets incumbents reelected at such an overwhelming rate? They hire experts that can predict human behavior. It's science, not hearsay.
