Reagan is dead, and was replaced by corrupt political frauds. Reagan was president many years ago, when America was still recognizable. The great Reagan is long gone, unfortunately.

You obviously failed to notice, in the past 10 years, things have changed radically and violently regarding our bleeding, chaotic lawless borders.

You think Reagan would support pro-amnesty candidates right now, in today's America? Lets see if you can answer this honestly.

In fact its so bad, ya got Texans impersonating illegal aliens to avoid criminal charges.

It's so bad today, it was discovered that Bush's Homeland Security chief had people wandering around the inside of his private residence that were in the country illegally. This during war time!

The landscape is littered with tens of thousands of American victims of robbery, burglary, murder, rape, identity theft, drunk driving, not to mention costing the American people hundreds of billions supporting millions of these illegal aliens.

Drunken illegal aliens even slaughtered the writer and director of the "A Christmas story" and his young son recently.

You think tens of thousands of American victim of this violent epic invasion are going to support someone that aids and abets open borders, pro-amnesty politicians?

Ya think these victims somehow missed the GOP supporting pro-illegal alien politicians?

And you call tens of thousands of these victims 1%s, and irrelevant?

I've had a belly full of your types and your better of two evil, corrupt, fraudulent candidates.

Your stinking compromise over principle, profits regardless of consequences and party over patriotism has all but left America dead on the floor!

Spit*

Blow up a building? Fringer?

Your hysterical response was not only typically arrogant, but quite predictable.

In addition, you failed to answer the simple question...Which was also very predictable.

I’m surprised that someone as stupid as Sarah Palin could graduate college, work in journalism, have 4 children, own and run a fishing business, get elected mayor, earn appointment to a powerful state commission, win the governorship, maintain a 70%+ approval rating, then be selected as VP running mate, and all then the time be so abysmally stupid.

(sarcasm off)

On this Palin is no Reagan thing??? Reagan was great! But it can also be said that Reagan was no Palin. I betcha when Sarah`s post presidency notes become public, you will not find that she had no regrets for appointing a loose living, liberal, female Justice to the Supreme Court.

So lets cut the crap on all this Reagan comparisons. Yes he was great, but he was not perfect. When Sarah is done her 2 terms, then we can compare.

“Let me guess you’re a RonPaul kook that supported Medina.”

Wrong.

Now let me guess about you...

Very good comments—Reagan was great, but he was no Palin.

It’s not a “CV” we need. It’s God, common sense and fire in the belly. Palin has all these.

You’re obligating yourself to provide a list of all the other conservatives you are withdrawing support for because they supported a rino.

Oh—you mean Palin is the only one you stopped supporting?

None of you people are being consistent, so none of you are likely to be sincere.

N-pod gets Sarah. What next, will Krusty Krauthammer give her a little grudging respect?

And speaking of Sarah, the lady drew 40k+ to the desert yesterday for the Conservative Woodstock. Didn’t hear anything about Mittens’ or T-Paw’s speeches at said event. They were there, right?

This is actually somewhat significant. To have Podhoretz go to bat for you in a big way like this puts the rest of the intellectual community on notice that she’s got a heavyweight in her corner.

Not a bad week for Governor Palin at all. Especially after the guff she took from the “Burn Down the Town” Right over the McCain Endorsement (see “Loyalty” in the dictionary).

I almost made myself sick watching various cable channels last night and this morning that were bashing Sarah. I was watching Hannity, but during commercial break switched to CNN Larry King, Shame full program. Had on David Frum, Scott McClellan, and a guy that just wrote a book called Wing Nuts, with Sarah on the cover, his name is John something, was on Cspan this morning continuing his Sarah/Tea Party bashing, just unbelievable crap coming out of these people. How CNN can invite all Sarah`s enemies on a program and pretend to have a balanced debate. I wish them all harm, I am sorry.

If that was not enough I tuned in to Morning Joe this morning, where the hatred and crap continued. How these people call themselves journalists, is beyond me.

I had to turn away for the sake of my health. These Republican sarah Bashers here and elsewhere are in line with these people, I hope they realize.

“...when they claim that 0bama undoubtedly has a higher IQ, I’m done reading.”

I expect that Sarah can spell “Syracuse”, which Hussein can’t, and I expect that she knows there are 50 states, which Hussein doesn’t.

I’ve been pro-Sarah since before McCain brought her in as VP candidate. Still, unless/until she stops stumping for McCain, and apologizes for supporting him against Hayworth, I’m off her bandwagon. Now, I feel she has serious discernment issues. I get it — she’s doing the “payback” thing to him, but principles should trump everything, expecially when the future of America is at stake.

You aren’t even coming close to what I said! I am not obligating myself to ANYTHING!

You go ahead and support all the RINOS, libs, illegal amnesty, global warming (cap and trade), McCain Feingold, corrupt special interest, George Soros funding, and what ever else you feel like you OWE support to. Speak out of both sides of your mouth if you like and support those who do. It’s your right, and it makes for great politics.

As I said, I like Sarah, but I do not like the FACT that she feels like she is obligated to support McCain! I don’t know if I feel comfortable with that at all! She might feel like she OWEs McCain a cabinet position if she were President. What’s the use to be conservative, or tout conservative principles if you are just going to over look the trash. It’s still trash, even if you feel obligated to support it. Don’t get pious and tell me who I am, and what I think, thank you! I am NOT you people! Go somewhere else and peddle that.

You have a point, particularly if he loses in AZ.

We don't know any of those. We do know that she is ambitious.

I pray that McCain does lose AZ because he is not conservative, and he knows it. He is a politician, period. I am not against Sarah, but if she would be true to her principles, instead of politics, she should be campaigning for J.D.. To me, the FACT that she is not, is a little frighting.

Whatever...to each his own! I am just tired of people telling me what I think, how I am, who I should be. The “you people” comment makes me sick!

I like Sarah a lot, but I am not, nor have I ever been, a fan of McCain’s. My husband and I were discussing this issue the other night and it is his opinion that Sarah’s support for McCain this far away from the 2012 election won’t hurt her. He may be right, I don’t know.

First understand this—Sarah Palin is the antithesis of a RINO.

Again, Sarah Palin is the antithesis of a RINO (turn up your brain a little on this).

The point is that criticism against Palin, for returning a favor for McCain, is not sincere.

If it were sincere, other conservatives who have done the same thing would receive the same criticism.

They don’t. So it’s not sincere.
