Strains Between McCain and Palin Aides Go Public

Report: Palin's Wardrobe Is to Be Audited by GOP

Now that the defeated team of Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin have gone their separate ways, the knives are out and Palin is the one who is getting filleted.

Revelations from anonymous critics from within the McCain-Palin campaign suggest a number of complaints about the Alaskan governor:

Fox News reports that Palin didn't know Africa was a continent and did not know the member nations of the North American Free Trade Agreement -- the United States, Mexico and Canada -- when she was picked for vice president.

The New York Times reports that McCain aides were outraged when Palin staffers scheduled her to speak with French President Nicholas Sarkozy, a conversation that turned out to be a radio station prank.

Newsweek reports that Palin spent far more than the previously reported $150,000 on clothes for herself and her family.

Several publications say she irked the McCain campaign by asking to make her own concession speech on election night.

The tension is likely to continue or get worse. Lawyers for the Republican National Committee are heading to Alaska to try to account for all the money that was spent on clothing, jewelry and luggage, according to The New York Times.

She was the ONLY bright spot in this whole disaster, and now the RINO’s want her destroyed. I am stunned at watching what I can only call the obsessive self-immolation of the GOP that’s been taking place since Bush was first elected.

We gotta take back this party. I, for one, will NEVER vote for anyone but a conservative. Otherwise, no, I will not vote. I will no longer play the “lesser evil” game. Look where it got us today.

Last night, Carl Camerloony went bananas on the O’eilly Show trying to slander Sarah with alleged hearsay from unnamed sources in the McCain campaign. Sounded like the accusations may have come from a gay boyfriend of Carl’s, dont know!, hats just the way he sounded, Carl was the ultimate of cattiness and feminine actions while tirading on and on! O’Relly tried to shut him down several times, then openly sliced him and abruptly cut Carl off!! It was absolutely INSANE!!

This is all smoke and mirrors and window dressing to deflect from the mishandling of Sarah Palin by McCain’s staffers. For two months Sarah was front and center so that the American people could properly evaluate her performance. As for me I will always stand by her,as long as she stands by conservative principles. I hope most conservatives feel the same way about her.

I wrote McCain’s campaign, every Republican address I thought relevant, left a message on the American Spectator web page and Rush to express my anger. I will not give a dime to any campaign that they work for. Let them rot.

Purge the RINOs! These closet Democrats are trying to blame Palin for McPain’s failed campaign when she was the ONLY one with a real fire in her belly and the heart to win. The handlers didn't like it when she refused to wear the leash. These creeps want future jobs working on RINO campaigns and are looking for a scape goat. They want to take out Palin for 2012 in order to save their own sorry butts. Pathetic losers and I hope they all find themselves in Obama’s unemployment lines.

The RNC can go to Hell. The message is loud and clear .... No conservatives need apply.

Senator McCain, you’re silence is deafening.

And where exactly is traitor McCain, these are his people.

Good point. McCain was sure quick to criticize someone who used That One's middle name. Why doesn't he make a statement in support of his own running mate.

McCain's numbers would have been down at the Bob Barr level without Palin.

I suspect accounting for the clothes and furnishing them to charity is absolutely routine, note teh article talks about tensions being “lokely” to get worse over that as if Palin is hiding the clothes. Preposterous.

So far every aspect of tis I’ve heard is just silly.

When are we going to stop believing the media has all these tiny secrets that discredit republicans, whereas somehow they can’t find any of these stories about democrats?

The facts are in plain sight. Palin energized teh ticket and then was a great campaigner. Now some news phoneys are going to “prove” she’s really a no good dummy who sabotaged the campaign.

The RNC called me before the election asking for $$$. I did not donate...but, instead, donated directly to McCain’s site.

This is just my opinion but they are making a very BIG mistake (GOP)by going after Sarah. They are not going to like the repercussions. Im conservative and I will remember what they are doing as will many many others like myself. Sarah was the only reason I and countless others voted for McCain.

“Fox News reports that Palin didn’t know Africa was a continent and did not know the member nations of the North American Free Trade Agreement — the United States, Mexico and Canada — when she was picked for vice president”.

...A) I will never watch Fox News again.
B) BO thinks there are 57 states.
C) BO says “Nittaly” Lions
D) Biden thinks FDR was on TV at the depression
E) Biden FDR was President at the depression
F) Biden thinks he can heal people in wheelchairs
G) BO’s “taxing the wealthy” started at 250K. Is now at
120K and dropping.

...I could go through the entire alphabet but the point has been made.
