Palin: I'm Not Leaving Politics and Will Stump For ANYONE!

I hope she comes to Arizona

and stumps for McCain. It may finally be our chance to get rid of the old fart.

I am the lizard queen!

I just watched McCain on Meet the Press

He was defending her as his VP pick.

But, don't expect Palin to come to Arizona. You just know McCain hates her guts.

When you look for the bad in mankind, expecting to find it, you surely will.

don't judge old people,

based on the worst specimen.

Believe me, I'm sure there are progressive elders who are starting to get why the youngsters don't trust elders. McCain thanks.

My dad voted Democratic for the first time in his life

He loves John McCain, but was horrified by Sarah Palin.

At first he said he thought she was great. But, the more she spoke, the less he thought of her. By the election, he said she was the last person he would vote for.

So, even conservative elders were put off by Palin. Thanks McCain!

My dad

told me in Feb 2008 he would never vote for a woman or a n*****. But he swallowed those words and voted McCain/Palin.

My mom, who had a crush on W, was so happy to vote for Palin.

Maybe the babies got switched and I'm not their kid.

Now, Louise...

Even though your parents may have a dark side, they influenced the person you have become.

I'll bet they taught you about truth, honesty, and respect without realizing the contradiction with the things you mentioned.

That's true

My father is the most close-minded, bigoted and racist person I have had the displeasure to know. He takes great pride in never having read a book after high school (over 50 years ago now).

Absolutely, he influenced me! ;)

Thank goodness for my wonderful grandfathers and some uncles, or I never would have been able to mentally "compare and contrast".

Isn't it ironic

Isn't it ironic the way that parents' teachings sometimes backfire because kids have a way of figuring what is really important and what is nutty, bigoted, or whatever?

LOL!

Yes, it is. And it makes me wonder what our kids will reject of OUR ideas! ;)

Hopefully they will retain their terrific senses of humor, fairness and kindness- they are wonderful people and we're so lucky to know them.

I don't think we're going to have a lot of trouble getting rid of McCain.

I'm totally fed up.

"I will go around the country on behalf of candidates who believe in the right things"

I'd bet...

Lurleen, I'll bet, if the honorarium were fat enough, you'd address any group that asked.

So, Lurleen, what groups would you refuse to address for, oh say, $7,000,000.00?

I'll answer that one

All of 'em. Money has never been a motivator for me and I'm not scared of being poor again.

Bingo!

Palin is now moving onto the GOP gravy train, like many others before her.  She chose to get out of office before she had to take the blame for too many mistakes and can now collect cash as the SheGovernator.

She will draw big crowds in "real America" and that is where she is a problem for Dems.  Having her at your fundraiser will be the GOP equivalent of getting Obama or Bill Clinton.

7 million?

For seven million, I'll address any group, anywhere, any time.

Of course, I may not say what they want to hear, but I'll address them...

No one ever talks about [extermination]. They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. And then, one day, when the air is still and the night has fallen, they come for you.

My reaction exactly

Of course, stumping in support of them would be a whole 'nuther kettle of fish.  But addressing them?  Sure -- $7E6 would even pay for bodyguards/extra security if I were addressing a group that's violently uncivilized as well as disagreeing with me.

Here is why she will stump for DEMS... Repugs...don't want her.

from The Hill: 

tinyurl.com/n2sr7a

Here are first tidbits...but there is more.

Though the soon-to-be-former Alaska governor is seen as popular with the conservative grass roots, several Republicans said she'd help them by staying home in Wasilla.

Several of these Republicans hail from districts or states carried in 2008 by President Obama, a frequent target of Palin's criticism. Republicans must keep these districts and win others where Obama is popular if they are to gain seats next year.

GOP Rep. Lee Terry (Neb.), who squeaked out a victory despite his district's overwhelming turnout for Obama, said he'd rather have House colleagues campaign for him than Palin.

"There's others that I would have come in and campaign and most of them would be my colleagues in the House," Terry said.

Rep. Frank Wolf, a Republican from Northern Virginia, which is increasingly becoming Democratic territory, offered caution when asked whether he'd welcome a Palin fundraiser.

"I don't generally need people from outside my district to do a fundraiser," Wolf said.

Several other lawmakers indicated a wariness about accepting help from Palin, but did not want to criticize the GOP's vice presidential candidate from last year. They said Palin could hurt them by firing up Democrats.

An unnamed GOP lawmaker representing a district that Obama carried in 2008 told The Hill that if Palin came into his district, his opponent would "probably be doing a dance of joy."

As is often the case,

there's a line in The Lion in Winter that covers this:

"Like a democratic drawbridge--going down for everybody!"

It's all about the money - no matter who's willing to pay - I think she's taken

political whoredom to an entirely new level.

Any "Blue Dog" who has her speak ought to be the subject of a very quick and painful backlash throughout the blogosphere to replace their sorry asses with a real Democrat

Stuping for Governer Goodhair

I heard reports that the quitter, I mean soon to be former governor of Alaska would help Perry in his re-election bid.
