…plus her past track record on Alaska, Sarah may not exactly feel a strong loyalty to the Republican Party at this point, or at least not an exclusive loyalty to Republican candidate

That said, as you point out, Sarah does need to look at the larger picture to see how the “Blue Dog” or so-called “conservative” Democrats actually vote when the chips are down.

Then again, I don’t see a lot of evidence that Sarah engages in strategic thinking.

To be frank, that statement sounds like it could have come from McCain (and it probably has, at some point). I don’t understand what Palin would even gain from such a statement; certainly, she wasn’t perceived as Mrs. Bipartisan [All Rights Reserved] when running for VP last year.

I hear this guy has been hired to “spin” this as a good move….

I can see that this should be interesting, and also refuse to agree with SteveLA and Josh P. They represent to me the Palin hater and Palin worshiper sides of this. Both of them cannot be right, and they may both be wrong. I am willing to watch and see what happens. She may work for Constitutional Party candidates. Nobody knows.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

Sorry. Thought I’d get a jump on it.

Seriously, though, this should actually be pretty easy for Palin to walk away from. NOBODY in the Democrat party espouses the Conservative values which Palin says she’s supporting. So, if she DOES stump for a lib, it’s pretty clear she can’t be trusted.

Personally, I think she, like most people who say similar things, did it to point out she’s supporting policy; and not party. Which I understand. In most cases, like most Conservatives, what this means is most likely that she’ll be promoting Republicans. Perhaps the occasional local 3rd partier.

Unfortunately, I think she’s ignoring where she has the potential to do the most good: stumping in the primaries. Now that she’s unattached, she has the opportuntiy to help out good candidates, like Rubio, for example, where they are running against pseudorepublican tools.

The day she backs somebody who backs those pro-tax, pro-abort trolls Pelosi and Reid, is the day I file her with Colin Powell.

This is from the person who once claimed to have cleaned up Alaska with “her” Ethics Act reforms. Admittedly, the ones the Ds have pilled on since her VP Nomination are frivolous, but the ones from the Monegan-Wooten matter weren’t and the one about the emails is still pending in court. She’s cooked the books on how much the State spent on them and if she’s spent as much as she says she has personally, others have paid it for her; she raised $400K almost instantly.

Now she’s provoked what may well be a Constitutional crisis over the Lt. Gov. succession. I finally broke down and did the research that I said that I wouldn’t and it looks like Alaska law doesn’t contemplate there being a Lt. Governor at all if the Lt. Gov. moves to the Governor. Some of the Lt. Gov’s ministerial duties go to a member of the Cabinet designated by the Lt. Gov and the office remains vacant until the next gubernatorial election. Of course, her new pet AG came up with some theory of “acting” status for her pick but “acting” is a creature of the Personnel Act and appointed and elected officials are exempt from the Personnel Act.

Please, just let July 26th get here and, though I know she won’t shut up, it will at least be less interesting to the media when she’s no longer Governor.

All the lib writers will take anything she says and contort it to stretch their view of reality. SP is throwing out some lines to see what they do with them. She may have said word for word what the paper reported. She has done nothing yet. The intention is to throw both parties off kilter. Eventually the political machines will finally figure out the threat is real. I don’t believe anything any politician says. Once they make policy or vote on something then it is just words. In the era of Obama people should understand that words & slogans mean nothing. And in Obama’s case neither do contracts or the rule of law….

I agree with that, but there is also a larger point, where I disagree with a lot of the people who have commented already. All this blind loyalty to the Republican Party, and the idea that supporting any Democrat over any Republican is bad, is so far beyond absurd at this point, I don’t even know how to respond to something like that. I know that a lot of people fall into the ‘our side is always right, their side is always wrong’ brain dead mentality, but shouldn’t the folks on this website be smarter than that? Its funny, I was about to create a diary on this point, about how its far more important to elect new Conservatives than it is to elect Republicans. When the Republican Party gets a majority, but Conservatives dont have a majority, you get like what you had under Bush, and what you have under Obama, huge socialist government. I would rather have the socialism under the Democrats only, and when we, the Republicans, finally take over, it is with a clear Conservative majority who will not under any circumstances go along with the liberalism/socialism from either party.

If we put Boehner in charge of the House again, and don’t have enough Conservatives in there to keep him in line, you can’t possibly expect things to be any different than last time can you? I mean, if you’re sane you can’t. If you just want to put on the rose colored glasses and say ‘democrats are horrible, all will be right with the world if only they weren’t in control anymore’, after everything the Republicans JUST DID to our Country, you might want to visit the doctor, as your memory is so bad you might have altzheimers. Seriously, you DO remember that it was the Republicans who did EVERYTHING that Obama is now doing, right? You do know that while Obama is doing MORE of it than Bush did, they were both taking us down the road to socialism BIGTIME, right? I don’t want any more Republican majorities that don’t include Conservative majorities, and nobody else here should either. The more Conservative Democrats we have in Congress the better. Id rather have an openly socialist Speaker like Pelosi than one like Boehner, who pretends to be conservative while giving us the biggest defecits and debt in our nation’s history (until Obama trumped him of course).

Serioously people, this is 2009, blind party loyalty was always dumb, but nowadays its BEYOND dumb, its totally insane. Without a Conservative majority, made up of people from any party, it doesn’t matter how many ‘Republicans’ or ‘Democrats’ are in congress, the country will keep going in the wrong direction. Keep thinking ‘all is right with the world if only we could elect people who will vote against Speaker Pelosi’ if you want to, but that kind of brain dead thinking will keep America going down the wrong track, just with a different hand on the wheel. But hey, if its one of ‘our guys’ then I guess its not so bad, right? .

yet you hang on her every word.

No more bot central? This diary would suggest otherwise.
