The Gateway Pundit ^ | August 29, 2018 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 08/29/2018 12:50:39 PM PDT by detective

ohn McCain’s vice presidential running mate Sarah Palin was not invited to attend his memorial or funeral services, reported NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell.

MSNBC booking producers Jesse Rodriguez and Michael Del Mouro first reported on O’Donnell’s scoop, tweeting, “NBC’s @KellyO reports: Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has not been invited to attend memorial services for John McCain” and “No invitation has yet been extended to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to attend McCain’s memorial services, sources tell NBC’s @KellyO.”

Had Palin not been picked, or declined McCain’s offer, she would had been a successful two term governor and most likely a senator from Alaska.

She did a lot for the cause and for McCain. She’s been classy in this whole matter.

But let no good deed go unpunished. When she was given the bum’s rush out of the governor’s house, the blood libel, MSM attacks, and RINO insults, she still kept fighting for us.

And to those “friends” she help elect? Where were they when Giffords was shot and the MSM called Palin a quasi co-conspirator? NOWHERE. They ran for the tall grass.

NIkki Haley? Cruz? GONZO!!!! Her only friends were a few talk show hosts and Alan Dershowitz (not to mention her rank and file supporters).

To paraphrase Obama....”you can see a direct line from Palin, the Tea Party to Trump. She played an important role which set up a future Trump candidacy. Someone had to light a spark under the conservative base and Palin did so.

Both Admirals McCain, his father and grandfather, appear to have been admirable men AFAIK.

Ol’ John managed to sully the family name all on his own.

I imagine she's thinking along these lines:

She campaigned for him, which maybe she had to do, maybe she felt she owed him, which was honorable, I guess, though many believed at the time that she owed a bigger debt to the preservation of our Republic. So she did that, she honored her benefactor. But then she went completely off the deep end and praised him for being a great conservative.

So ok, dump on me for criticizing Palin, who I still love and admire, but I’m not the one dis-inviting her from the Great Conservative’s funeral.

What a mixed bag of a few Establishment players and leaning communist Anti-Americans.

What a sorry reflection of the McCain middle finger, thrust up, to patriots everywhere.

I have viewed nothing of the man since his death. Too repellent for words, so, I appreciate the tip very much, onyx.

She always lived in Alaska. She visited the house in AZ. They sold it and, I believe, bought another, smaller one. There recent are pictures at a smaller house in AZ.

It was a day in early April when Barack Obama received an unexpected call from McCain, who was battling brain cancer and said he had a blunt question to ask: Would you deliver one of the eulogies at my funeral?

This will turn out to be a good thing.

Just like McCain from the grave saying Trump can’t come to his funeral.

It’s good to see America loving Patriots being dissed by McCain even after he is dead.

Much more fitting for Obama being invited to speak at McCain’s funeral.

Birds of a feather etc.

Queeg called Cindy McCain a cu^t in front of reporters

He left his wife who wait d while he was in Hanoi prison and endured her own much much more serious health problems

Cindy McCain was beautiful....still is ...very hot for 64 to be honest..... and vivacious and rich and much younger

I get that but still McCain is not an impressive man....not to me anyhow

“McCain is a deceitful, backstabbing slime ball.“

I hope he drowned in his own body fluids.

As I said on another thread on this subject, I was going easy on McCain at this time. His family is grieving, and he doubtless did some good things with his life, such as staying on at the Hanoi Hilton rather than cashing in his connections chit to get out. However, after this awful snub, it's back to thinking of him as a vindictive little prick. And I'm not sure his surviving family is much better, either.

I’ve always liked the polite statement “My apologies, but I have a prior appointment to simonize my cat.”

Exactly, that's the humor meant with my statement, some here don't like to smile.

Some people around here really do not have a sense of humor or are too lazy to look beyond their immediate impulse to criticize.

Exactly

but there are those who would say that to indicate that she’s a piece of fashion plate fluff

All of who know and like Sarah know she's not Imelda Marcos and never wanted to be :)
