On Wednesday, paparazzi captured photos of Sarah Palin relaxing on a Hawaii beach with her husband and children, and wearing a McCain campaign visor -- with her former running mate's name scribbled over with a black marker. TMZ called the visor a "searing political statement," but Palin tells Politico that she was just trying to keep a low profile. "I am so sorry if people took this silly incident the wrong way," Palin said in a statement. "I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago. So much for trying to be incognito." A Palin friend said that the hotel where the family was staying ..... Continued at link with photo.

After raking in a couple of million dollars with her book she couldn't afford to buy a new visor? What's wrong with this woman? Doesn't she want to help the economy?
Another "What's Sarah Wearing Thread".

You're Happy that Obama won, we get it. Your open borders like Ron Paul the Libertarian Presidential Candidate. http://www.lp.org/platform 3.4 Free Trade and Migration We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders. However, we support control over the entry into our country of foreign nationals who pose a threat to security, health or property.

----------------------------------------------------------- "I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago." That's pretty funny. She thought so much of McCain she grabbed the nearest Magic Marker and badly blacked-out McCain's name. Just as funny are some of the people who think phrases like "I adore ____", or "I support _____ 100 percent" aren't politic-speak for "Bwaahaa!"
Sponsor: Rep Paul, Ron Funny how none of the most ardent supporters of Ron Paul aka detractors of Palin are able to accept any of the blame for the Border/Illegal Immigration cluster****. HELLO - there was Ron Paul at THE HEAD OF THE LINE.
Lol, yeah, technically.
She said it. This pretty much answers any questions in regards to her ideology. Those that questioned whether she agreed with him on the issues and was just biting her tongue and lying on the campaign trail now know the truth. She wasn't lying and honestly supports Neo conservative Stalwart John McCain. A Neo is a Neo Con is a Neo Con.
No,this is a "Who is Sarah Praising Thread?",and the answer is that communist loving treasonous bastard known as John McLunatic. I understand that she HAD to praise him when she was his running mate,but those days are over and praising him now only serves to establish her RINO credentials. McLunatic wasn't being attacked by the press when they asked her about this,and all she had to do was say "The blacked out brim means nothing.",and let it go. From this point on,she can kiss my ass.
What's wrong with this woman? Doesn't she want to help the economy? Wearing that dopey recycled visor should prove she's not corrupt. LOL - yeah - in the process she's purposely hurting 0bama's "economic recovery." Now if it were The Divine Miss Manchelle, her giant designer visor would be bejeweled with diamonds... while wearing $300 size 19 flip-flops.
You have the GALL to criticize Ron Paul for being for open borders while waving the pom poms and kicking your legs up for Boy Jorge,John McLunatic,and now that traitor from Alaska? And yes,she IS a traitor if she is still praising McLunatic. She can't claim ignorance any more. She can only claim "stupid" if she doesn't know the lowdown on him.
Count me as one of those stupid people. What about her and Todd's visit with him last week? What that a pretend visit,too?
I'll tell ya something just as funny. Almost everybody that whines about Ron Paul being for open borders voted for Boy Jorge and then for John McLunatic.
That's the way I see it,too. I was giving her the benefit of the doubt right up to the time I spotted this report. No longer. There is no longer any chance of her getting my vote.
Ron Paul isn't open borders. He opposed the amnesty bill and voted for the wall. Where as Palin on the other hand supports a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants and wants to work with the Latino community. Paul supports ending student visas form terrorist nations and birthright citizenship. Ron Paul is not perfect and has his problems, however he is 10x better than Palin, particularly on immigration. If Paul got the Endorsement of the san Diego Minutemen for Christ's sake. http://sandiegominutemen.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=70&Itemid=69 Besides Palin is a nutty evangelical war mongering zionist of the first degree who supported the bank bailout. That takes her out of the running for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npUMUASwaec
I agree. From this point on,she can kiss my ass. You believed her about the McCain "support" BS? I'm reserving judgment on this and her; Filing this under, "My good friend on the other side of the aisle," and "my esteemed colleague" fake-courtesy.
It doesn't really matter,and has never mattered because he had about as much chance of getting elected president as I did,and I wasn't even running. He has no charisma,and doesn't seem to have the fire in his eyes that a national politician needs to attract support. Palin had a serious shot at it where he had failed,but she is selling it down the drain so the RINO's will like her and pat her on the head. I have no doubt the advisers and consultants she hired is telling her to do this,but almost all of them worked for Bush,McLunatic,or both. If she is so stupid she can't understand they are giving her bad advise,she is too stupid to be president.
He cant respond. Ron Paul is a Libertarian that has voted 9 Times against Placing National Guard on the Border. Ron Paul Three times to extend amnesty and is against the border fence. http://www.lp.org/platform 3.4 Free Trade and Migration We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders. However, we support control over the entry into our country of foreign nationals who pose a threat to security, health or property. The only reason Ron Paul does not Run Libertarian is ability to win on Republican ticket is greater: “Would Paul run as a Republican again or as a Libertarian? "We try not to ever deal in absolutes in politics," Benton said carefully. "But he would be very likely to be running as a Republican again." It's not just that "working within the system" gets more exposure for a candidate. It's that several Republican primary states include the caveat that candidates cannot run in their primaries and go third party if they lose.” ----------------------------------------------------------- What about her and Todd's visit with him last week? What that a pretend visit,too? Obviously a meeting set up to determine if she is up to actively supporting McCain. IF she does, it'll be a foreboding omen. I'm hoping it was just mere courtesy out of past loyalty.
You believed her about the McCain "support" BS? Of course I do. She had no reason to lay it on thick,but she did anyhow. This tells me just as plain as a billboard that she is looking for RINO support and is willing to be a good little RINO if they will throw their support and money behind her. I'm reserving judgment on this and her; Filing this under, "My good friend on the other side of the aisle," and "my esteemed colleague" fake-courtesy. That's what I was doing before today. No longer. I am done with her.
She screwed up. She wasn't supposed to "take a dive" until much closer to the election.
______________________________________________________________ tag ... you're it.
I would just prefer Sarah and Todd and their klan of Eskimos(Bristol is a hot eskimo) go back to Alaska.
Loyalty for what? Them telling the press she was stupid and un-trainable when she was the VP candidate? Or that she bought 150 grand worth of clothes? Or any of the hundred other ways they slighted her,including McLunatic going on national tv after the election and saying in response to a question about her that she wasn't a serious candidate for president and she wasn't qualified or experienced enough? Yeah,I can see why she would want to show him some courtesy after all those favors.
I think she is far smarter than people give her credit for. THIS is an example of her sense of humor.
WS is a liar. Every thread it pushs to lie that Ron Paul is for illegal immigration. It just hates him along with the rest of the Bushbots because he did not support the war in Iraq. The Immigration Question by Ron Paul by Ron Paul Save a link to this article and return to it at www.savethis.comSave a link to this article and return to it at www.savethis.com Email a link to this articleEmail a link to this article Printer-friendly version of this articlePrinter-friendly version of this article View a list of the most popular articles on our siteView a list of the most popular articles on our site The recent immigration protests in Los Angeles have brought the issue to the forefront, provoking strong reactions from millions of Americans. The protesters’ cause of open borders is not well served when they drape themselves in Mexican flags and chant slogans in Spanish. If anything, their protests underscore the Balkanization of America caused by widespread illegal immigration. How much longer can we maintain huge unassimilated subgroups within America, filled with millions of people who don’t speak English or participate fully in American life? Americans finally have decided the status quo is unacceptable, and immigration may be the issue that decides the 2008 presidential election. We’re often reminded that America is a nation of immigrants, implying that we’re coldhearted to restrict immigration in any way. But the new Americans reaching our shores in the late 1800s and early 1900s were legal immigrants. In many cases they had no chance of returning home again. They maintained their various ethnic and cultural identities, but they also learned English and embraced their new nationality. Today, the overwhelming majority of Americans – including immigrants – want immigration reduced, not expanded. The economic, cultural, and political situation was very different 100 years ago. We’re often told that immigrants do the jobs Americans won’t do, and sometimes this is true. But in many instances illegal immigrants simply increase the supply of labor in a community, which lowers wages. And while cheap labor certainly benefits the economy as a whole, when calculating the true cost of illegal immigration we must include the cost of social services that many new immigrants consume – especially medical care. We must reject amnesty for illegal immigrants in any form. We cannot continue to reward lawbreakers and expect things to get better. If we reward millions who came here illegally, surely millions more will follow suit. Ten years from now we will be in the same position, with a whole new generation of lawbreakers seeking amnesty. Amnesty also insults legal immigrants, who face years of paperwork and long waits to earn precious American citizenship. Birthright citizenship similarly rewards lawbreaking, and must be stopped. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the perverse incentive to sneak into this country remains strong. Citizenship involves more than the mere location of one’s birth. True citizenship requires cultural connections and an allegiance to the United States. Americans are happy to welcome those who wish to come here and build a better life for themselves, but we rightfully expect immigrants to show loyalty and attempt to assimilate themselves culturally. Birthright citizenship sometimes confers the benefits of being American on people who do not truly embrace America. We need to allocate far more resources, both in terms of money and manpower, to securing our borders and coastlines here at home. This is the most critical task before us, both in terms of immigration problems and the threat of foreign terrorists. Unless and until we secure our borders, illegal immigration and the problems associated with it will only increase. April 4, 2006 Dr. Ron Paul is a Republican member of Congress from Texas.

I for one like Ron Paul and Sarah Palin.
As plain as day, there it is. How anyone can support this woman and claim to be conservative is beyond me.
Is it that painful for you to face the truth about this woman?
No person who was nominated for VP is going to go around dissing the person who chose them.
She just lost me. Anyone that supports Capt. mccain can't be any good. Only pond scum supports pond scum. Hope she doesn't come to Maine to support ollie, the queen of infanticide, snowe. It wouldn't surprise me, I would just hate to see her stoop to such a low life level.
Good point. I can see that. But if she disagreed with him on policy, she should have declined the nomination. But if she disagrees with McCain's views, stances and policies, and still made the statement above, then like a typical politician she's lying to further her political career. If she does agree with McCain's views, stances and policies, and made the statement above honestly, then she is not a conservative. Either way, I can't support her.
Laid it on a bit too thick imo. Why throw herself and her cred under a bus for ol' McTurd? OR the RNC? They hate her. Her history in Alaska speaks volumes about going against the Party grain. She's NEVER sold out for power, yet you fully expect her to now because of her comments about McCain? I'm not buyin' it.
Or that she bought 150 grand worth of clothes? Or any of the hundred other ways they slighted her,including McLunatic going on national tv after the election and saying in response to a question about her that she wasn't a serious candidate for president and she wasn't qualified or experienced enough? Yeah,I can see why she would want to show him some courtesy after all those favors. Hey, I hear ya Pete, Palin "owes" McCain jack-squat - or rather a boot in the azz and a cup of Kool-ade flung in her face. He knew damn well the plan was to screw with Palin's head. I dunno what her Game Plan is in showing McCain mercy - much less her comments which again I think were pure baloney. As to that meeting, I can see McCain was begging her just NOT to take sides against him in his upcoming election during their meeting. How it all goes down is going to be quite compelling.
Now THAT'S a good point.
You and the rest of the Libs, Moonbat Left, and Statists.
I've always thought she was far brighter than given cred for and STILL underestimated. NOBODY seems to know what she'll say and do next. How better than that to keep her opponents off-balance. The woman wears a visor with "McCain" blacked-out just enough so that his name could still be seen; Then declares "100% support" for this old coot who obviously helped undermine and sabotage her credibility and person. Playin' Possum? She could well be messin' with HIS head now.
Palin?? Why haven't you Bozo'd 0bama again??
That's exactly what you are be shilling for Bush, McCain, Palin and the rest of the GOP. Some of us actually support Americans.
I like Ron Paul too... He was outspoken, but just never THE political savior many made him out to be, nor even really went out on a limb and committed himself to what he deemed important. Now if the guy had had the balls to run as an Independent candidate for President, he'd have a LOT more of my respect.
