More top McCain-Palin aides come out supporting her.

Posted on by Paul R.

... The Republicans who worked most closely with Palin  the ones who were with her from when she first walked into that swooning Ohio basketball arena in August until she walked off the stage after McCains concession speech in Phoenix Tuesday  are now having their say in that conversation.

And they want it known that theyre sick of Sarah Palin being dragged through the mud.

I did a quick search & didn't see this article posted, even though it's a bit old. Very interesting info...

I personally think that the bad mouthing of Sarah Palin is being done by undercover demo-rats.

McCains is looking worse every day he remains quiet.

“McCains is looking worse every day he remains quiet” McCain will be on Leno Monday night. Do you think he will be asked this question? I think so. And he should defend her profusely.

McCains is looking worse every day he remains quiet. Yep.

Man, he really just dropped right off the face of the earth, didn't he?



To: Paul R.

If it was prev. posted I say more the better.

She is the rightful heir to lead Reagan-conservatism, and I'd bet Mike Pence would concur.

To: icwhatudo

McCains is looking worse every day he remains quiet. If he's allowing/ordering his underlings to "take out" Palin in a way that doesn't come back on him, then he's scum. If he knows the charges aren't true, and allows them to continue, then he's scum.

Thanks - I thought it a bit odd no one had picked this up sooner, but, then, FR was down for a spell... I sure would like to see the real source of this garbage I.D.’d. I’ve seen a couple MSM reports reporting it as straight up fact & no retractions yet. If McCain is going to be on Leno, he HAS to put a harpoon in this.

“And they want it known that theyre sick of Sarah Palin being dragged through the mud.” That’s good to read, & thanx for posting this article.

I’m sick of RINO’s — this is what our “big tent” philosophy has gotten us. Palin saved McCain from being a national laughingstock; he shouldn’t have to be asked a question about it to give an answer. Palin also saved us; we can say that 57,000,000+ didn’t buy the hype of Obama.

I think this was a deliberate attempt to disgrace Sarah Palin after McCain lost. It was also done by the NeoCons on his staff (after all, who other than NeoCons would have worked for him). They probably assumed that they were doing both McCain and other Republicans a service by attempting to disgrace a Conservative like Sarah Palin. Actually, they have only angered and enthused the supporters of which I am one - Major!



To: Paul R.

Hmmmm, so the so called Bush aides are not afraid to speak on the record... Puts that rumor to rest.... So who are the ‘ridiculing radicals’?

Republicans in general, IF they rediscover their ‘nads ought to make an example of that puke Carl Cameron who gleefully leaped into the ‘Trashing Palin Festival’ on FOX and make it known that he is persona non grata at ANY GOP function, that NO interviews will be granted to him, that he will won’t even be allowed to float in the punch bowl, he’ll have to stink in a little pile outside, looking in. Now if Carl were to name his sources and identify who his fellow pukes are who were so eager to trash Governor Palin, maybe we might start getting somewhere.

Sarah Palin and Mike Pence should be the team in 2012.

You know, this stuff (and more*) would provide an excellent opportunity for McCain to blast the MSM, without doing the “woe is me, we can’t win because of the MSM” complaint. Instead, he can be the knight that he was too much of in the campaign, but here he can be outraged at a smear, and it’d be appropriate to be so. I was just reading on another thread, that Newsweek reports Palin supposedly wouldn’t appear at a rally with John Sununu, because he’s pro choice — the problem with that being that “John Sununu has a 100 percent pro-life rating from the National Right to Life Committee.” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2128553/posts And just WHO is stupid?

Oh Yea! Don’t forget Piper is running in 2048! Heh...



To: Paul R.

But she also wound up appealing less to supporters of Hillary Clinton and skeptics of President Bush than McCain aides had hoped; Oh, and why would that be? The 24 hour MSM slander machine put into action to misinform the idiots that believe the crap the MSM says! That's why!
