Paul Streitz has decided to call Sarah Palin by her real name, because she endorsed John McCain (who is trying to win a fifth term as Senator) and said she will campaign for him. Fanatic Palinites, such as the editors of the misnamed „conservatives4palin.com” website (they should rename it „liberals4palin.com”), lambasted him and called him a “backstabber”.
“If Paul Streitz’s support of Governor Palin is contingent upon his agreeing with every decision she makes or her selling out her deeply-held values, that’s unfortunate. While all support is appreciated, the governor has never been for sale. Ask the Alaska establishment, who learned that early in her political career.”
Palin has proven that she IS for sale – if one picks her for veep. She’s endorsed a despicable traitor because he chose her as his veep.
Palin is so dishonest (or so ignorant) that she didn’t even tell the truth about why she endorsed John McLame. She claimed that:
“John McCain is on fire to kill Obama’s government takeover of healthcare and that’s what I want to see.”
Which might be incorrect, because McCain favors the SAME policy on socialized medicine as Obama – he just might vote against this particular Act. McCain favors socialized medicine, as proven by Steven Warshawsky:
“McCain’s campaign website [of 2008 – ZM] demonstrates that his thinking on this issue is much closer to Hillary Clinton than Adam Smith. For example, McCain states that “controlling costs” is his top priority, and that “nothing short of a complete reform of the culture of our health system and the way we pay for it will suffice.” This is a recipe for massive government interference in the health care industry. McCain also supports universal coverage, claiming that “we can and must provide access to health care for all our citizens.” Completing the liberal trifecta, at the January 5 ABC NEWS debate, when Romney criticized McCain for “turn[ing] the pharmaceutical companies into the big bad guys,” McCain replied, “Well, they are.” Plainly, if he were president, McCain would serve as the Democrats’ “useful idiot” for their plan to impose socialized medicine on the nation.”
Also, I’ve heard from a friend that McCain will likely now try to save the socialized medicine bill. So on socialized medicine, McCain and Obama differ only about particular bills, NOT about the merits of socialized medicine itself.
What about the task of protecting the American people? No duty is more important than that one. But on that issue, McCain is also liberal and unreliable. Palin falsely claimed that:
“And his commitment and his leadership on national security to win the war on terror, that’s what we need. (…) national security, he gets it. He understands how to win.”
Palin is flat wrong. McCain is NOT committed to the task of defending the American people, and he’s not a leader on anything except liberal policies. He „doesn’t get it”. He doesn’t understand how to win the Global War on Terrorists, nor does he understand any defense issue or foreign policy issue confronting America now. I’ve written several articles pertaining to this guy, demonstrating what McCain’s specific policies are, and why they are wrong. So I’m not going to repeat those entire articles. Let me comment again on McCain’s policy on the GWOT, though, because that’s one specific issue that Palin mentioned.
John McCain does NOT say that America should attack its enemies before they attack America. He also endorsed Obama’s decision to close Guantanamo, and he opposes “enhanced interrogation techniques”, which are absolutely necessary to gain intel information and protect America.
McCain also buys the PC propaganda about the root causes of the Islamic threat. He believes that these root causes are “poverty, tyranny and despair”, and ignores what terrorists themselves say motivates them: the Quran, which contains several explicit commandments to kill nonbelievers.
In short, McCain doesn’t recognize the real nature of the Islamic threat, and he’s not prepared to combat it effectively. Anyone who isn’t prepared to combat it effectively is a person who doesn’t belong in the Senate. If the GWOT is the most important issue for you, McCain is undisputably the worst possible Senatorial candidate from Arizona.
I did not include McCain’s cretinous, liberal, anti-American policies on foreign policy issues other than the GWOT, even though I could (foreign policy is not limited to the GWOT, although Sarah Palin, as an ignorant person, doesn’t understand that). My articles about McCain refute his idiotic policies, so I just wrote a reply to what Palin explicitly said. She did not comment on McCain’s treasonous policies like nuclear disarmament and the progressive abolition of conventional weapon programs (which are necessary to protect America against China).
The failed 2008 VP candidate also said this about McCain:
“And he is a statesman, and I don’t hesitate at all to say, no.”
Which is not true. McCain is not a statesman; anyone who calls him a statesman insults real statesmen. A genuine statesman fights for the right policies, regardless of ideology; works for his country 24/7; and retires when he should.
McCain has spent the last 9 years promoting destructive liberal policies to punish the GOP for its decision to give Bush the 2000 Republican nomination; he’s been working against the US and for his liberal ideology (together with fellow liberals like Kennedy, Obama, Russ Feingold, and Hillary Clinton); and he has refused to retire – he’s vying for his fifth term as Senator. By comparison, George Washington refused to serve as President for a 3rd term, even though as of 1797, there were no presidential term limits. McCain is running to keep his salary, not to serve the American people, whose opinions are irrelevant for him.
Palin ended her statement thus:
“we do need his leadership, especially on those two fronts: Government takeover of healthcare, he wants to kill it; national security, he gets it. He understands how to win.”
See above. Her claims are false.
Whether she uttered those claims because she’s ignorant or because she knows they’re false and decided to lie for McCain, only Palin knows. Regardless of the answer to that question, she’s not qualified for the Presidency, as she has proven with these statements and other utterances. She embarrasses herself everytime she speaks. Conservatives4palin.com editors claim that she is simply behaving like a loyal person. But one’s own country is supreme to any person and any requirement for loyal individuals. When the choice is “Either the country or the person you should loyally endorse”, a real hero, a real patriot, a real statesman/stateswoman chooses the country, not the person. Palin has endorsed a strident liberal who’s trying to enrich himself with taxpayers’ money.
I was a fan of Palin myself. But I’m now convinced that she’s not a conservative, nor is she a politician qualied for the Presidency of the United States. She’s simply just another RINO endorsing another RINO. No real conservative would ever endorse McCain for the Senate.

Ah… So I see your another name caller.
It smacks of, dare I say it, left-wing mud-slinging attacks.
You have the nerve to call C4P “liberals” when it’s pretty obvious you have never read any of the content on their site.
“RINO” for being loyal… “Liberal” for being loyal….
Did you not see how she came to the national spotlight?
You my conservative brethren are out of touch with the reality of politics… You are also an unhelpful puritan.. Waiting for your perfect candidate may take you an entire lifetime. Meanwhile, Sarah Palin, and others will be taking Obama and his socialist agenda to task.
Enjoy flapping in the wind.

Bah!!! Hahahahahaha!! That’s hilarious, Sarah a RINO!!! LOLZ.
How far from the truth you are!! She is the most- un-RINO that there is.
And I highly doubt you were actually a Palin fan.
Posted on January 22nd, 2010 at 5:12 pm
Wow, now Sarah is a RINO?
What about Dick Cheney? is HE a RINO? After all, he and George Bush are endorsing Kay Baily Hutchinson, a super RINO who makes John McCain look absolutely Reaganesque!
Even better, Cheney and Bush are backing this sho ’nuff RINO against our sitting Governor, Rick Perry, who is a strong Conservative, and leading the fight against Obama and asserting states’ rights and nullification. And someone Sarah is personally campaigning for!
And yet, I haven’t heard a swingin’ Richard trashing Dick Cheney for backing a Washington insider that is far worse than McCain!
Look, I’m not McCain’s biggest fan. But the entire world owes him a huge debt of gratitude for intruding it to Sarah Palin!
Some of us have followed Sarah for years, but most never heard of her. If it hadn’t been for John McCain the world still wouldn’t have.
Also, what about Downtown Scotty Brown? Do you even know, or care, that John McCain played a huge role in his campaign? He’s the one who really encourage Brown to run. You saw who the first person he visited when he hit DC to personally thank, right? It was John McCain.
McCain has also been one of the loudest voices against Obama and the communists in Congress. McCain tends to carry a grudge, BTW, and has a serious burr up his ass over losing to Obama. That alone will keep him fighting against everything Obama does.
But this is about Sarah. Sarah is a woman of strong character and integrity. Sarah is standing by a man she admires on a personal basis. Just what kind of person would she be if she refused to stand by him? I can tell you this, I wouldn’t give a plug nickel for someone like that.
If folks are looking at Sarah or any other person in life, and basing their decision to either love them or hate them, depending on whether or not they do absolutely everything THEY want him or her to do, those folks are going to hate absolutely every single person alive!
Get real moron, Sarah is no more a RINO than I am the Pope! What she is, is a woman of integrity. If that doesn’t work for you, well, then so be it!
Posted on January 22nd, 2010 at 5:39 pm
If She didn’t campaign or help McCain out, I would find that her words are not trustworthy. I don’t like McCain and I would never vote for McCain again. However, she must feel that she owes him one. So let’s her pay it to him. What’s wrong with it? Just because he doesn’t share the same views as you? I’m proud that she takes a higher ground and do not bite back the hand to help you to the national stage. I would trust her more that I trust anymore out there. She is a woman with character
Posted on January 22nd, 2010 at 6:04 pm
You boys think Mac is despicable? You think it is your mission in life to go after him and demonize anyone who supports him? Good thing you have your priorities straight.
Some of your claims about him have some merit…but you have definitely gone off the deep end with a gigantic blast of hot gasses and histronic complaints that have little to no merit. Hey I voted for Sarah Palin, not McCain…but good grief. Calm down. He’s no Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi, And lay off Governor Palin. Your article is simply one more nasty, boring, little opinion piece with lots of unsupported, illogical, gripping and no real supporting data. Hint…take a journalistic ethics course, cut 90% of the name-calling and not-so-clever labeling, and then remember you can’t put 10 pounds of stuff in a 5 pound bag and expect it to work.
Posted on January 22nd, 2010 at 7:55 pm
Gary – Yes, Sarah Palin is a RINO. And you can’t compare her to Dick Cheney, nor can you compare KBH to John McTraitor.
KBH does NOT favor nuclear disarmament and was never involved in any corruption scandal. McLame, on the other hand, was the RINGLEADER of the Keating Five, and perpetrated the KF scandal, which cost American taxpayers $160 BILLION. He belongs in jail, not in the Senate, and if Palin doesn’t recognize that fact, she’s just as evil as he is. (She called him a hero and a statesman. He’s a vile criminal, not a hero nor a statesman.)
KBH does not favor the crap-and-trade system, McCain promised to implement it during the 2008 presidential campaign.
KBH opposes defense cuts. McCain called for a $160 bn defense budget reduction during the 2008 campaign, and last year, he hailed Obama’s treasonous defense cuts.
Your idiotic comment that
“McCain has also been one of the loudest voices against Obama and the communists in Congress. McCain tends to carry a grudge, BTW, and has a serious burr up his ass over losing to Obama. That alone will keep him fighting against everything Obama does.”
is patently false. McCain has not been fighting ANY of Obama’s policies, he has hailed them. He hailed Obama’s defense cuts, and last June, he rated Obama positively. He WANTED Obama to defeat him, and that’s what happened. McCain is not a voice against Obama nor the Commie Congress – he’s ONE of the communists that are now working to bring the Republic down.
This is the vile RINO that Palin endorsed. And if you buddy with other people, you become a person like them. Birds of a feather tend to flock together.

zbig.. love your stament:
“…if you buddy with other people, you become a person like them. Birds of a feather tend to flock together.”
Will we be hearing from you about Obama’s close ties with Ayers, Rev. Wright, ACORN, and all the other radicals with whom he associated? Put your money where you mouth is son. Take on the big fish in this dirty pond.

One of Gov. Sarah Palin’s salient virtues is loyalty, an old-fashioned concept. Sarah’s endorsement will help Senator McCain defeat this opponent, Jeeter Dingus (J. D. ) Hayworth in the coming election.
Posted on January 23rd, 2010 at 2:06 pm
Well, when McCain made Sarah his VP choice, he introduced her to the national scene, so she may feel that she owes him for that. I suspect that that’s the reason. Yes, backing someone like Johnny McLame is likely a mistake, maybe even a big one, but that doesn’t necessarily make one a RINO. Look, if McCain asked her for an endorsement, then she could hardly have said no, considering what he did for her. There are times when loyalty and gratitude may be more important than ideological purity, and this may have been one of them. Purists can find fault with even the best politician, but Sarah Palin, while she isn’t perfect, is no RINO. Did she ever actually promote amnesty for illegals and civilian trials for captured terrorists, abortion-on-demand paid for by tax dollars and same-sex ‘marriage’ or claim that tax cuts are only ‘for the rich’? Also, what about her support of Hoffman in NY 23 or Bachmann in Minnesota? Were they RINOs?
Sarah’s no RINO, she just made a mistake, perhaps even a big mistake.
Posted on January 23rd, 2010 at 2:57 pm
I am still laughing after reading this nonsense. I never heard of ZbigniewMazurak or his blog but this guy needs some serious therapy. Sarah Palin a RINO. Hilarious!
Posted on January 23rd, 2010 at 3:02 pm
Insightful analysis. Sadly, many of Palin’s supporters don’t understand policy or care about accuracy, so your overview is lost on them. Consequently, they react with emotional arguments such as “loyalty.” Yes, Palin does owe McCain something for his continued loyalty to her in the face of her dissing him via the visor incident in Hawaii and the revelations in “Game Change” about her incompetence. However, she could show her loyalty by supporting him more quietly, without actually stepping forward and campaigning for him. By doing that, she has shown her true colors: anti-red, white and blue.
Posted on January 23rd, 2010 at 4:45 pm
“Will we be hearing from you about Obama’s close ties with Ayers, Rev. Wright, ACORN, and all the other radicals with whom he associated?”
You have. On 15/1/2010, I wrote on my blog that the fact that Ayers and Wright are Obama’s best friends disqualifies Obama from the Presidency.
As for ACORN, it is a criminal organization which should be prosecuted under the RICO Act. And the stupid court ruling which restored funding to ACORN must be overturned.
“Put your money where you mouth is son. Take on the big fish in this dirty pond.”
There is no bigger fish in that pond than John McTraitor, the perpetrator of the Keating Five scandal, which cost American taxpayers $160 billion, the Vietnamese songbird who revealed American military secrets to the Viets, the traitor who insulted Ronald Reagan while talking to the very media that opposed Reagan during the 1980s. McCain – the ringleader of the Keating Five – belongs in prison, not in the Senate. Because Palin endorsed him, she’s just as evil as he is.
“One of Gov. Sarah Palin’s salient virtues is loyalty, an old-fashioned concept. Sarah’s endorsement will help Senator McCain defeat this opponent, Jeeter Dingus (J. D. ) Hayworth in the coming election.”
Loyalty to criminals is not a virtue. McCain is a criminal who belongs in jail, not in the Senate. By endorsing him against a conservative, Palin proved that she’s a RINO. I would rather betray Al Capone than remain loyal to him. (McCain harmed America worse than Al Capone.)
“Yes, backing someone like Johnny McLame is likely a mistake, maybe even a big one, but that doesn’t necessarily make one a RINO.”
If she endorsed Olympia Snowe, Sue Collins or Lindsay Graham, I’d say “I don’t approve, but oh well, I don’t care”. McCain is the most liberal Republican Senator ever, and I am not going to stand silent while Palin praises this vile traitor. I was one of her most loyal fans – until she said she’d back him for a 5th term. (BTW, how many terms are enough?)
“There are times when loyalty and gratitude may be more important than ideological purity, and this may have been one of them.”
Maybe, but NOTHING could be more important than the country and the law. And Palin has betrayed both, by endorsing McCain.
On the law, McCain is the perpetrator of the Keating Five scandal, which cost American taxpayers $160 bn. I guess you’re a child, so you don’t earn money, but you should learn that EVERY single of those 160 billion dollars was hard earned by American taxpayers.
On the issues, McCain is a strident liberal who advocates conventional disarmament and nuclear disarmament; amnesty and a multicultural country; a Marxist progressive tax rate; and a ban on “enhanced interrogation techniques”.
“Purists can find fault with even the best politician, but Sarah Palin, while she isn’t perfect, is no RINO.”
Palin opposes school vouchers, which are necesary to allow poor children to attend private schools. She’s a backer of unions and called union members “brothers and sisters”. She imposed a Carter-style “windfall profits tax” on Alaskan oil corporations and redistributed it to Alaskan families (it’s the same thing as Obama proposed during the 2008 campaign, only implemented by the state government). She favors the treasonous Law of the Sea Treaty, which would end 226 years of a sovereign America and subordinate the country to the UN. She favors a policy of appeasement towards Communist China. And she said that she agrees with McCain “100%”.
Posted on January 24th, 2010 at 3:19 am
Sarah Palin in my opinion is a conservative in most respects. My biggest problem with her is that she is just like John McCain and George W, Bush on amnesty for illegal immigrants. She says she is AGAINST AMNESTY just like those two did. In the next breath she says we need to give them a path to citizenship which includes a token fine for their multiple felonies (like identity theft), pay back taxes (low wage earners don’t owe taxe; they consume them and that is part of the problem) and learn English which I am sure will be a total joke.
My other problem with Sarah is that she is a quitter. She did not finish out her term as Governor and I would never vote for her for anything for that reason. It shows a lack of character and as we learned during the Clinton years, “character counts”.
Posted on January 24th, 2010 at 2:05 pm
Frankly, Palin is a disappointment with her pro AMNESTY AGENDA and her endorsement of Juan McJerk. Her IQ is showing and it’s unfortunate. We need someone with an IQ in the 3 digits. McJerk’s time is up – give someone who cares about closing the border, not siding with the dems to be popular, opposes gay marriage and wants no amnesty for illegal alien lawbreakers. McJerk must go and she is a “RINA” and doesn’t speak for true conservatives – she’s made her bed with McJerk and her popularity is on the decline.
Posted on January 24th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Sister Sarah made her bed now that she choose who to back. Shes not to be written off yet as she draws crowds. I hope after she gets that we dont want ANY retreads back after they all had 8, 10 20 years to fix our unconstitutional ways of doing business in Washington.
Mrs. Palin please back the likes of Rand Paul, Debra Medina, Ron Paul and the true Tea Party faithful. Those that back a return to sound monies, sound domestic and overseas policy
that tracks a path of prosperity and freedom.

To make HIMSELF available to give valuable INFORMATION TO THE ENEMY??And then make BROADCASTS AGAINST AMERICA FOR THE VIETCONG??Now as a REPRESENTATIVE IN POLITICS fights anything that might BUILD and PROTECT in AMERICA?? Now WHY would anybody that thinks AMERICA and AMERICAN vote for this TURNCOAT I ASK YOU?? CHECK IT OUT THE MAN IS A LIVEING PHONY>>>>>>>

I was a supporter of Palin’s until she make the choice to go soft on immigration. She’s no patriot so that put her into the Rino catagory with the rest of the traitors. I guess ” There ain’t no mexicans in Alaska.”
Posted on January 24th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
“1980s. McCain – the ringleader of the Keating Five – belongs in prison, not in the Senate.”
Okay, as I’ve heard it, the Senate Ethics Commitee cleared McCain of acting improperly, though they criticized him for “poor judgement”. Also, what about the voters of Arizona? They voted that bum in, didn’t they?
“Palin opposes school vouchers, which are necesary to allow poor children to attend private schools. She’s a backer of unions and called union members “brothers and sisters”. She imposed a Carter-style “windfall profits tax” on Alaskan oil corporations and redistributed it to Alaskan families (it’s the same thing as Obama proposed during the 2008 campaign, only implemented by the state government). She favors the treasonous Law of the Sea Treaty, which would end 226 years of a sovereign America and subordinate the country to the UN. She favors a policy of appeasement towards Communist China. And she said that she agrees with McCain “100%”.”
And yet that didn’t stop you from originally supporting her, if I’m not mistaken.
For the vouchers, that may be a case of something on the State level for Alaska. After all, the Alaska State Constitution says (Article 1, Section 7): “The legislature shall by general law establish and maintain a system of public schools open to all children of the State, and may provide for other public educational institutions. Schools and institutions so established shall be free from sectarian control. No money shall be paid from public funds for the direct benefit of any religious or other private educational institution.” As for unions, she may have just needed them to help get her elected. As for agreeing with that schmuck McCain “100%”, well, she was his VP pick, so she couldn’t afford to openly oppose him I fear.
Posted on January 24th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Folks, people like John,”Americans wouldn’t pick lettuce for fifty dollars and hour”, McCain, are laughing at you. Yes, he is literally laughing at you Americans, as he signs H-1B visas, as he has your jobs exported, as he puts you down about not doing certain jobs.etc. Most Americans I have met have done every conceivable job one could think of. As for Ms. Palin, she is just another self-centered person seeking her own personal power, and she will do as traitors to the citizenry like John McCain, tell her to do. This is what will happen time and again, when you keep electing people who seek personal power over YOU. ALL THE WHILE DECENT PEOPLE LIKE RON PAUL, AND A THIRD PARTY LIKE SAY A TEA PARTY CANDIDATE WAITS TO SHAKE THINGS UP. Why don’t we shake things up. What are we Americans afraid of? Can a third party possibly screw things up more than a RINO’s like McCain or Sarah Palin? The DEMOC-RATS, AND REPUBLI-CONS, NEED TO GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT, NEVER TO BE ALLOWED TO DENIGRATE THE AMERICAN CITIZENRY AGAIN. Don’t you remember how they attacke regular Americans at their own Town Halls and like Nancy Pelosi Called us Nazi’s and terrorists? Don’t you folks understand yet? When will God shine the light on you and turn on your understanding? When Pelosi Called American citizens these vile things, I don’t remember anyone but Ron Paul and other citiznes objecting to it. I heard no democrat or even Republican politician stand up to her to defend the citizenry. We ARE IN TROUBLE. BIG TIME.

Great expose, Zbigniew, even if I can’t spell your name correctly! lol
You left out what I think sank Palin in many conservative’s eyes–her making ads in Spanish for Univision in early October 2008 promoting Amnesty (and therefore illegal entry) if their legalized friends would vote for her and McCain. News of this treason came to light only 4 days before the Election though I had already decided to vote third party. She was then quoted as saying she didn’t believe that 12 million illegals could be deported and that she was for “partial Amnesty”. She hasn’t changed that position.
I know Paul and I’m glad he’s wised up to Palin. I’m afraid I gave him a hard time about her last year. But at least she’s come out now and has endorsed the enemy of all conservatives, a pro-war Liberal and a cranky old man who belongs in a nursing home, not in elected office.
While I’m glad J.D. Hayworth is running against McCain for Senate, J.D. has problems (Abramoff) of his own. Still, he’s always been tough on illegal immigration and that is what AZ needs–one Senator to stand up to La Raza and other pro-lawbreaker groups. He’s a bulldog and a counterpuncher and I hope he’s ready for McCain. That will be one race to watch. It will–as much as Scott Brown’s win–be a bellweather for whether RINOs like McCain with the RNC solidly behind them can hold onto their seats.
Posted on January 24th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
Keith, I’m not sure you’re joking when you say “I guess there ain’t no Mexicans in Alaska”…There are 40,000-plus illegals in Alaska–and Palin could have easily looked that up on Google. A Governor should know “who’s” in her state but she doesn’t think it’s an issue there…except that they take jobs from Americans and some live off the taxpayer (WIC, etc.).
Posted on January 24th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
I was all for Sarah Palin, but I am now watching her very closely. I can sort of understand her support for McCain since he did put her on the ticket and brought her to the attention of millions of Americans. But her endorsement for Governor Rick Perry of Texas…? What is that about? Perry is a RINO that not only supports amnesty but is for the NAFTA super highway that will run from inside Mexico up through Texas into Canada, cutting our country in half. This highway is to be something like 3 or 4 football fields wide and if I remember right it will be run by Spain. Has she checked Perry out at all? I know I can no longer support her until I hear an explanation from her telling us exactly what it is she stands for and why she is backing RINOs.
Posted on January 24th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
A question for ZbigniewMazurak:
When you say that JD Hayworth has baggage on the Abramoff scandal, were you aware that the Justice Department exonerated him and closed their investigation (generated by a McCain staffer)?
Not only did JD announce it on the air in November 2007, but it also appeared in the local “progressive” rag the Arizona Repugnant (albeit on the next-to-last page).
Is there more to it that the Justice Dept didn’t know or investigate?

“Keith, I’m not sure you’re joking when you say “I guess there ain’t no Mexicans in Alaska”…There are 40,000-plus illegals in Alaska–and Palin could have easily looked that up on Google.”

Maybe so Jack, but I believe that at the time she was McLame’s VP pick, and I doubt she could afford to at least openly dissent with him. Also, she may have been trying to basically walk a tightrope between people who oppose illegal immigration (like you & me) and people who are pro-immigration in general.
“My other problem with Sarah is that she is a quitter. She did not finish out her term as Governor and I would never vote for her for anything for that reason. It shows a lack of character and as we learned during the Clinton years, “character counts”.”
DId you know that the Left were filing bogus charges of ethics violations against her? Or that under state law, she had to pay for her own defense? Those charges cost her family *half a million* dollars. And at least at the time, Sarah and Todd made 200,000 combined yearly, they had to take a 2nd mortgage out on their house. I have heard it said that if she had stayed, it may have wound up costing her a million. Also, she had to spend more and more of her time dealing with attacks such as those, which meant less and less time governing ALaska.

God, what happened with the dems and Obama is now possibly going to happen to the legitimate tea party movement because of Sarah Palin.
Whether she personally is a RINO or not, is not what i want to comment on. My issue is her supporting John McCain, a known progressive.
People who claim that she’s only doing it out of loyalty fail to realize the bigger issue: how can any self respecting conservative endorse a Man who has proven himself to be the antithesis of a conservative??!!
The whole point of the legitimate tea party movement is to go against the whole “party line” thinking and ONLY vote/campaign for the statesman who best represents the mainstream American citizen. How does supporting McCain accomplish that?
Furthermore, for those of you who think it’s just McCain she’s gone on record as supporting, or even Perry, you need to look to last april, where she went on record as saying she would financially suppport the re-election bid of Lisa Murkowski for the Alaskan senate seat. Lisa is a known RINO who supports abortion, SCHIP, stem cell research and is lax on immigration.
Palin may or may not be a RINO, but she has a notorious habit of supporting them. This tells me that at the very least she’s an opportunist, and at the very worst she’s just another politician like the 99% of the scumbags currently on Capitol Hill.

Her indorsement makes me nervous also. Just like Newt endorsing the Rino in was it
New Jersey and she even dropped out of the race. For those of us that know and understand history, I don’t want to see any of the “old guard” on the stage, banquet, etc. with the people that know what has to be done. I’m not in any mood to be in child management mode to “teach” adults what their oath says, what they should be doing not only as a citizen but as an employee, a representative to follow the law. I want to live long enough to see them all out and for those guilty, tried and sentenced. It will not be fair to those put in to fix 60 years of this illegal activity without helping by civil and criminal enforcement of those prior that have committed crimes and remind those in management positions what happens to them if they forget. Thanks to all that have given so much to still make it possible to speak out, be active and fix the for the next generations!

“Okay, as I’ve heard it, the Senate Ethics Commitee cleared McCain of acting improperly, though they criticized him for “poor judgement”.”
I don’t care. I’m not surprised that his utterly corrupt Senate cronies voted to clear him. He’s guilty. Of the 5 Senators called the Keating Five, he was the one who was the most closely associated Senator with Charles Keating, and McCain owed Keating a huge debt (a big tranche of financial contributions for his 1986 Senate campaign). Please read about Keating and his links to McCain on Wikipedia. Facts are facts, McCain is the PERPETRATOR of the Keating Five scandal.
“Also, what about the voters of Arizona? They voted that bum in, didn’t they?”
Yes, but it was THEM who voted for him, not me. I have clean hands.
“And yet that didn’t stop you from originally supporting her, if I’m not mistaken.”
It didn’t, because I didn’t find out about these facts until a few months ago. I supported her as long as I didn’t know about these facts. I stopped to support her when I found out about these facts.
“For the vouchers, that may be a case of something on the State level for Alaska.”
It has nothing to do with AK, because I was talking about her federal policy on vouchers, the policy of a VP candidate. Unless the Constitution of AK says that AK schools cannot accept vouchers from the feds, you cannot use the Constitution of AK to defend her.
As for JD Hayworth, no, I didn’t know about the fact that he was cleared, nor that the investigation conducted against him was launched by McCain staffers. But Im not going to endorse JD Hayworth. I believe that the best candidate for the US Senatorial Nomination would be Jim Deakin.

Go Sarah!!!. The voters need to throw out all senators and congress rep. who do not support the wishes of the American public. They are only in office to serve their own benefit and not to do what’s right for the country. Obama is taking us to socialism.

Yes she is a RINO. The first indication is that she ran with the biggest RINO in the party, McCain. Now she continues to support him. Her limited Alaska record is not that great either. We need solid Constitutionlly Limited Republic candidates. I believe she is mostly an opportunist who just happens to be somewhat attractive.
