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.

If Sarah didn't campaign for McCain, worse things would be said about her. Like Reagan, she does not have a political tin ear - she does what is politically required.
RINO's always put what others think about them above principles. Campaigning for a liberal just "looks" and "sounds" better than taking a stand for what is right and what this nation needs. Doing what is "politically required" is the last thing this nation needs right now.
McCain put Palin on the political map -- it would be seen as ungrateful if she did NOT support him - she can do no less and still remain a viable prospect for the presidency Today she already says things that get her feared and hated -- didn't she attack the establishment Republican candidate in NY? Over and over we see posts that demand that Sarah fall on her political sword - "attack Israel" "attack McCain." Wouldn't doing so, kill any chance of her even getting to a position of power. There will be time in the future for Sarah to say even more. Let's see if she does - if she doesn't - then bad on her.
McCain couldn't attrack any flies to his stinking pile of crap so he picked the pretty and charismatic Palin to bring a few to his no-show events. Hell, without her he would have been stomped on in all fifty states because we all KNOW he is a RINO. It is McCain who should have been grateful. Now, she supports this RINO when there really is a CONSERVATIVE candidate to back in Arizona........and you think this is a smooth political move that will make her VIABLE for POTUS? I think not. In fact, I see the opposite happening........people are now going to question HER conservativism and, ultimately, piss on her chances. She says not what gets her feared and hated, but WHAT GETS ATTENTION. Haven't you figured that out? Half the time she opens her mouth and inserts foot. If Palin can't muster any principles she should get out of the limelight.....for the good of this nation. She constantly drones that she is doing this or that "for love of country." I say BS. Putting McCain out to pasture would be good for this country and we all know it. Truth is that Sarah is as much a RINO as McCain. The sooner folks accept this truth the better.
I don't know if "we all know it" or not but a lot of us do. McCain should have been retired before he ever "served" a single term.
So true. Without the almighty power of nepotism, he never would have been elected at all.......and the country would have been much better off.

heck if it wasn't for daddy he would have been canned from flight school after he wreaked his first plane in Corpus Christi bay. he claimed equipment malfunction but the plane was recovered and found to be fully operational at the time of the crash. that was the first plane of his quest to be an ace for the north vietnamese.
