The Right Scoop
Stupid people think McCain got all those votes on his own. Why do you think the dirt bag, cover-up, corrupt media savaged Palin. Helloooooo. Palin has a set, and doesn't even own a pair, can't say that about most Republican men, sadly.
I attended a couple of McCain events ,and let me tell you,there was plenty of empty seats.
I also attended 2 with Govenor Palin and the crowd was around 10,000 both times.
I also voted for McCain just because Govenor Palin was selected as his VP.
If people would just seriously look at McCain's resume and Barrack Obama's.
They would see that govenor Palin had the best resume of all of them..Just the facts.
I noticed this the other day. Palin was the only reason McCain got any support.
I'm getting sick of this BS. Republicans are electing the RINO's to be President and we are having to try to save the election by looking for an actual conservative to fill the VP slot to energize the base. What is up with that? Why do Republican voters want wishy washy conservatives like McCain and Romney to be the President? Is it about strategy being more important than conservatism? The Independents don't stop the Democrats from electing the most liberal candidates possible, so why do we believe we cannot get in a real conservative? It's mind bogglling and I'm angered at Republican voters in general. Wake up and vote for a real conservative.
further evidence Palin does not have a clue? Her latest Facebook rant about the Labor Department's proposed child labor laws on farms to limit certain types of agricultural work. Palin's notion is that the laws would disrupt a rural way of life by preventing kids from helping out with family farm work. The laws would only protect children from types of labor deemed too dangerous and would not apply to children working on family farms.
Wrong. They are looking into going deeper and going after children on family farms.
I suppose you think Palin is clueless about the death panels in Obamacare, also?
Not so.
This bill is the equivalent of Obamacare; you have to pass it to see what's in it.
Obama's history is to discourage the work ethic across the board.
Obama's goal is to get everyone on the government dole.
Once again, Palin is right and her critics are wrong.
But that's becoming such a broken record.
Here's yet another example:
As usual, Mark is correct...Sarah helped McCain...she just was not enough...he was a wimp.
They could have had the unstinting charisma of TPaw, who kept saying he would say 'death panels' for the IPAB, and 'blood libel' for what happened at Tucson, but never said
what words would be appropriate.

Fact is: Palin put McCain in the lead. People tend to forget McCain was leading in polls up until the point McCain ran back to DC to pass TARP. He'd have been president if he went back to DC to oppose TARP.
Right again, Mark. The problem in 2008 is the same problem in 2012. The stupid GOP / RNC insists is nominating freaking liberals instead of conservatives.
To put a point on it, The problem with the RNC is the RNC. Not the TEA Party or stubborn voters but the tone deaf leadership of a soon to be extinct political party.
She's the reason I did not vote for president. I felt that as McCains first decision as a potential president, he totally BLEW IT. he had so many to choose from.
When he pegged palin, I turned to my sister and said 'he just lost'. I could not vote for that ticket. And will never cast a vote for Palin. Ever.
Liar, you voted for Obama.
Note to readers: this individual is a Romney supporter from Utah who comments as "Ellie" on another site. She has admitted to voting for Obama on several occasions. Her favorite website is Malia Littman's blog. I won't link that trash here, but if you want to see who you're dealing with, google it. Ellie once commented that she hoped Todd Palin would die in the Iron Dog and is an admitted Trig truther. That hateful conduct probably doesn't square with her Mormon church.
Reading your comments I see that you are a Romney sycophant. Because of people like you I will NEVER cast a vote for MitWIT Romneycare.
Then you know nothing about Palin. Nothing about the exit polls. Nothing about the actual history of the 2008 election = Fundraising. Polls. Attendance. Enthusiasm.
And you are part of the problem. But that's still you're right while we still have a free country.
But I see you're aligning yourself with the Ruling Class so you'll be on the correct side when we cease to be a free country.
I do not know what scared Sarah Palin. Her experience with the secret service was not comforting. Mitt is now shaking the etch-a-sketch, leaving us to shake in our shoes. I do not know how, but Sarah needs to run NOW. The tea-party has been silenced by washington insiders. I believe it can be energized and Sarah will be protected by all of us.
I have come to distrust Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh after they attacked those (Newt and others) who questioned Romney's brand of profiteering, parasite, vulture corporate raiding, and using the taxpayer's money to foot the bill for his deals.
How Romney operated and achieved his wealth at taxpayer expense:

http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-12-14/politics/30515127_1_mitt-romney-ddi-corp-bain-capital
Levin and Limbaugh were dead wrong to defend Romney.
Romney's business tactics and history are what is wrong with our economic system. Romney's liberalism, lies, cronyism, etc. are what is wrong with the political system.
We need accountability and regulations to guard against Romney's kind of business people.
We need reform in DC to guard against politicians like Romney.
We do not need every conservative and hopeful reformer caving to this crook and the sick business and political systems that he represents.
I will not respect Palin and Newt if they actually endorse him.
Perry has just lost his creds by doing so.
I lost respect for Levin for the fact that he endorsed Romney in 2008, then trashed him THIS year.
And the Sarah Palin thing..... Levin sees an audience for his books and radio in fervent band of Sarah Palin supporters. So he panders to them.
By the way, Palin has already said that she could support Romney. (August of last year in Iowa). And last month she said that she would enthusiastically support the Republican nominee. You can be assured that she will only get a speaking slot at convention IF she endorses Romney.
Don't bother with URExperiencedinNothingButBashingPalin. He's here shilling for Romney now because his man, Perry, just endorsed him.
I could never convince him that trashing Palin wasn't helping his man, Perry, but he never figured it out.
So now he's doing the same thing in an attempt to help his new man, Romney.
And that strategy is going to work just as well.
SarahPAC's rented space up the street from the RNC convention. Let's see the RNC refuse her a speaking spot. I anticipate they will. They're just that stupid.
My man Rick Perry has enough guts to try. Your 'man' didn't have enough guts to even enter the race.
My man Rick Perry has the integrity to finish his elected terms as governor and the determination to keep that job for 12 years. Yours quit half way through her first term.
I realize that the C4P people will never vote for anybody but her. Half of you still think she is going to run for president, believing that she is "playing three dimensional chess while everybody else is playing checkers."
Regarding Romney, I will hold my nose and vote for him, just like Sarah Palin will do.
That's funny, I haven't seen an endorsement of Romney or enthusiastic support for him by Palin. Last time I saw her interviewed, when Romney was mentioned, she grimaced, like she had bad gas.
If Palin has enough guts to actually RUN for president, then I may answer your question.
Until then, she is simply another talking head who occasionally gives her opinion.
Her face lit up a few times whenever talking about some of Herman Cain, Ron Paul, and Newt Gingrich's ideas. I think she can see herself working with those three, of course she would have to have the top spot.
I think she is leaving the door open so that she can enthusiastically support herself. We will see what happens.
If Palin was the nominee, would you get behind her? It is ABO right?
Palin August 2011 at Iowa Fair: "Could I support someone like Romney? Sure!" Last month she said that all conservatives "need to get behind the eventual nominee."
But you are correct Palin has not "shown enthusiastic support" for Romney. (Of course neither has she shown enthusiastic support for ANY of the conservatives running against Romney.)
Well I know I personally voted for the ticket because of Gov. Sarah Palin. What a powerhouse. I've never liked the Bush family. I've never seen people given so much credit for doing so much damage to the country besides Obama.
Stupid people talk about other people, average people talk about things, smart people talk about ideas. What does Gov. Palin always talk about? Ideas. What does Gingrich always talk about? Ideas. Their detractors don't talk about ideas-they just trash their opposition. Why? Because they aren't for sale.
Yes, Newt talks about ideas. He is probably the smartest and most inspirational candidate since Reagan himself.
The other person you mentioned simply spouts conservative cliches and radio talk show hyperbole.

I listen to his show everyday downloaded on my iPod. I love him.
He does get cranky sometimes but who woudln't, seeing what's happening and when you understand its dire situation as well as he does? I'm grateful he's not throwing hi mic and calling it quit. I sincerely wish for his good health, no joke, we've already lost our great fighter, Andrew Breitbart.
I said in 2008 I didn't vote for John McCain, I voted for Sarah Palin.
Where are good conservatives to go? The Dems are far, far away from what we believe and the GOP doesn't want us. I'm still thinking a third party and for 2012 a miracle with a not Romney nomination because I am not one who gives up easily.
Gov. Sarah Palin won in 2008 John McCain was the one that lost. I voted for Gov. Palin and i would vote for her right today. She is the real American out there today:-)
Just as CNNs Don Lemon takes her critique of Obama seriously...
Obsequious weasels have more integrity.
Sarah Palin cost the GOP a victory with her ignorance four years ago and nothing has changed today....she is still ignorant and petty. I am glad Katie exposed her
You are a hopeless fool. You swallowed up whatever Obama wanted you to think. Have another drink.
While I prefer not to stoop to personal name calling like some others here, I have to say that Higgsparticle's comment about Sarah Palin may very well be the single most asinine comment I've read in quite a while. Katie didn't expose Sarah, she only confirmed what most people already suspected. Namely that she's a partisan political propagandist more than a news reporter.
How does anyone who purports to understand the English language arrive at an opinion of Sarah Palin that she is ignorant and petty? Are you not paying attention? Are you making a judgement because she speaks differently than you? Perhaps you assume that since she is from Alaska and not some northeastern state she can't possibly know what she's talking about. The truth is, the statement above is a perfect example of the lefts pension for projection. In fact, it is ironically so. The statement, in and of itself, is, in fact, ignorant and petty.
i have been paying attention to Sarah for the last four years and my opinion is as factual as the sun rising in the east. I find it quite funny that people will continue to support an obvious under-achiever. Sarah has proven on many occasions to be just a celebrity, nothing more. The assumption of being on the left is a grasp. I am a conservative. I am aware of the right wanting to make it a left-right thing, but check your calendar..Palin's time as a media hog is up. Romney doesn't need her.
further evidence Palin does not have a clue? Her latest Facebook rant about the Labor Department's proposed child labor laws on farms to limit certain types of agricultural work. A cornerstone of the opposition argument is Palin's notion that the laws would disrupt a rural way of life by preventing kids from helping out with family farm work. The laws would only protect children from types of labor deemed too dangerous and would not apply to children working on family farms.
She couldn’t complete her term as governor because she was being Alinskied into personal bankruptcy thru frivolous ethics complaints. Unlike Romney, she didn’t have a vast personal wealth to pay the ever-growing legal debt. As governor she had already accomplished everything she promised in her inaugural address. So why stay in a job that is causing her to go bankrupt. Would you stay in such a job?
If you’re a Romney fan, you need to stop it. You’re not helping your guy.
with all those "accomplishments" she could not muster enough achiever skills to complete her term as Governor and run for the office of Presidency..now relegated to barking from the sidelines without any "skin" in the game..there's your under-achiever
During the fiscal years for which Sarah Palin exercised budgetary authority as Governor of Alaska (FY08 through FY10)
• Debt outstanding increased 12.7%, or 4.2% per year
• Per capita debt outstanding increased 7.4%, or 2.5% per year
• Total liabilities DECREASED 34.6%, or 11.5% per year
• Total liabilities per capita decreased 37.7%, or 12.6% per year
During the fiscal years for which Mitt Romney exercised budgetary authority as Governor of Massachusetts (FY04 through FY07)
• Debt outstanding increased 44.3%, or 11.1% per year
• Per capita debt outstanding increased 43.3%, or 10.8% per year
• Total liabilities INCREASED 19.5%, or 4.9% per year
• Total liabilities per capita increased 18.7%, or 4.7% per year

For my money, Palin over Romney any day. It’s not even close. The facts bare that out.
An “under-achiever” that had no political pedigree or vast personal wealth that just somehow happened to defeat a very powerful incumbent Republican governor in a primary and then went on to defeat a former two-term Democrat governor in the general election.
And once elected as Governor, she somehow happened to get production going at Point Thomson after nearly 30 years of producers failing to keep their commitments:
http://www.c4parchive.com/2009/05/governor-palin-hails-drilling-at-point_08.html
She spearheaded the largest private sector infrastructure project in North American history with AGIA.
She replaced the Murkowski PPT oil tax scheme with the transparent ACES that improved incentives for new energy production and ensuring that Alaskans would receive a “clear and equitable” share of oil profits:
Also as Governor, Palin reduced earmark requests for Alaska by 80%, established Alaska’s Petroleum Integrity Office to oversee safe energy development, placed the state checkbook online, and reduced spending for Fiscal Year 2010 by over one billion dollars from Governor Murkowski’s Fiscal Year 2007 budget. Total reduction in spending between 2007 and 2010: a whopping 9.5%:
http://conservatives4palin.com/2011/08/governor-palin-leading-the-fight-on-debt-and-liabilities.html
She cut costs by selling a private jet purchased by the previous governor and saying “no thank you” to the Executive Mansion’s personal chef. She has served as Chairperson of the AK Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and Vice Chair of the National Governors Association Natural Resource Committee. Prior to her time as Governor, Palin served as Mayor of Wasilla, AK, and city council member in Wasilla.
But other than that, I guess there’s a lot of “under-achieving” going on there. But you on the other hand, are an idiot.
