I’m not precluding anyone either.
I’m only saying that Palin cannot be equated with McCain’s RINOism simply because she campaigns for his conservative principles.
I have yet to see a well thought-out response to the true assertion that her failing to campaign for him would have brought much worse on her.
And let me see your list of politicians who have supported RINOs, and your statement that you will no longer support them.
Remember to include anyone who has supported the ones who supported RINOs, and the ones who supported the ones who supported the ones who supported RINOs, and so on.
"I have yet to see a well thought-out response to the true assertion that her failing to campaign for him would have brought much worse on her."
Sara Palin was THE voice of conservatism once the party had pushed McCain into the nomination.
She singlehandedly brought him up to a vote count that was not an embarrassment to us all; she done good and McCain owes her far more than she owes him because otherwise he'd have gone down like a stone.
She has a lot of positive momentum and good will among the rank and file, if not within the party itself.
She quit as governor presumably to make a bid for the presidency and to allow Alaska to operate without the media circus and frivolous litigation her new fame brought about; good for her.
She is in a position to name her own fate and so far she has not shown so very well.
The 2008 campaign is over, she does not need to keep responding to SNL and to who can or cannot see Russia from the back porch.
The 2008 campaign is over and she does not need to cement her links with America's least appealing RINO. At best, she should have made a statement about two capable and sincere candidates in the Arizona race and then stayed out of it. In that way she would not have betrayed any loyalties to Juan and she would not be opposed to the state's, and the country's, conservative voters.
As it is today, she has not progressed past generalities in her Fox appearances or at the Searchlight rally, she has not transitioned from what was to what could be - the 2008 election versus the 2012 election. Worse still, she has not maintained her direct links with conservatives but has sullied it by reversing course to support a man who Arizona must now be thoroughly sick of and ready to dump into whatever receptacle is available at the time.
(I might be wrong on that last part, after all, Napolitano came from Arizona.)
You just do not get it, do you?
NO ONE IS EQUATING PALIN WITH MCCAIN!
That is sheer subterfuge on your part.
What we are all trying to hammer through your iron skull is that SUPPORT for John McCain, a RINO, is a DEFEAT for JD Hayworth, a CONSERVATIVE... AND THUS A DEFEAT FOR AMERICA!
I could care less what Palin’s justifications are at this point. The issue is that if McCain wins re-election, then AMERICA LOSES!
How much simpler can it be put to you?
