This vanity comes entirely from an idea by another Freeper: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2481051/posts?page=15#15
The anti-Palin nuts are trying a bit too hard on this one.
(used your idea)
yep, Can anyone say that Michelle Bachmann is polluted because she said that she likes Sarah and asked her to campaign for in two weeks on two fundraisers and rallies? of course not.......most of those attacking have a history of leaning for another candidate, just check their post history, it tells you who they support!!!!
I told you on the other thread.
Palin is not running for office. Defending Palin's support for McCain is the same as defending McCain.
Who cares if the libs are trashing her. She holds no political office and therefore carries no legislative power. In fact, she gave up that power.
You are trying to equate two different things. We supported Palin only because she was better than McCain.
Now you want us to support McCain again, because of Palin, over a better candidate - Hayworth.
You can't have it both ways.
She’s in a tough spot. How can she not campaign for him after he helped put her on the national stage.
I totally agree .. Palin is nothing like McCain.
I do feel that he is USING HER because he knows he’s in BIG, BIG trouble .. and he also knows she can draw the crowds.
While McCain may talk a good game, he rarely lives up to his words. Palin on the other hand, is the opposite. She promised him she would campaign for his senate race if he did not win the presidency. I don’t believe that at the time she made the promise, that she had been attacked so badly by the McCain campaign - who were jealous of her popularity with the public. I will forever be curious why McCain didn’t stop them .. was he jealous of her himself ..??
My concern is two-fold. I’m curious where the fickle public will stand if McCain wins, or if McCain loses. Will they dump her because McCain wins; or will they say she’s a loser if McCain loses. Can’t figure that out.
As for me, I still support her because I understand her need to keep her word, even at her own expense.
Ms. Palin does not have the right to try to include the TEA Party as a supporter of John McCain. She needs to leave the TEA Party out of her speeches extolling him. I resent, as a TEA Party member, her speech yesterday at a rally for him in AZ.
She will have to re-establish her conservative status by denouncing McCain’s views on amnesty. Then all will be forgiven!
This is getting as bad as the evo/crevo and north/south civil war threads; please try, just once, to understand and get off of the high horse.
There isn't any "mathematical, political, or other formula involved!
To support McPain is anathema to approximately half of those on FR.
To support McPain is to work against the other hopeful - who happens actually to be a conservative.
Running RINOs as an expedient got us Obama and the Governator(!)
Palin should be doing everything in her power to position herself for a run in 2012 - if she intends to do so - and stumping for Juan isn't positioning her anywhere but on a losing streak.
For that matter, and regardless that her supporters try to insist otherwise, her presentations so far have not progressed beyond campaign generalities and do NOT suggest that she has any valid concepts as to what needs to be done or even what she is facing.
It is too early to marry your vote to any single candidate, I have preferences as well but I will not preclude anyone who comes up with a better plan.
Finally, for the same reasons that the Huskster crowd and social conservative bloc drove away support from the larger body of conservative voters, your insistent denigration of anyone who does not share your fetish is irritating, juvenile, and counter productive.
President Palin can call in some politcal chits with McCain when she’ll need them.
Bottom line, socialism cannot be sold on its own merits because it’s nothing but a worthless junk of an ideology.
The socialist cannot recruit people to their cause by offering the opportunity to intrude into the lives of others, reject absolute truth or wallow in the cesspool of envy. Or the promise that you can pretend to care about the completely fraudulent notion of social justice because you’re really in love with yourself above all else. Even less, the chance to live life gazing in self-adoration into the narcissistic pool of “social justice.”
Although McCain has been gazing into that pool—which is the source of all political corruption—for many years, Palin gives every indication that she has resisted it.
And her support of McCain cannot be equated with his rino style of politics.
She will make a perfunctory effort to campaign for him now and, if he loses the primary, campaign hard for McLame's opponent to win in the fall.
Outstanding reasoning. It won’t make a dent in the palin-haters, though. Their opposition to Palin is not based in reason.
That is a false premise. Everything that follows from that will be a fatally flawed conclusion.
Here are some facts.
Palin crossed the aisle to get Dems to go along with an increase in taxes on the oil companies.
Palin prior to deciding to join McCain stated that she did not endorse McCain because of his stance on ANWR.
McCain never changed his stance leaving Alaska and ANWR on the chopping block.
We Alaskans who voted for her to become Governor see her supporting a Senator who is against everything about Alaska and now she wants to make a travelogue aout Alaska while supporting McCain.
Your vanity is based on the antics of emtionalism and foolishness.
