McCain Chooses Sarah Palin for VP
Oh, it’s a beautiful day. Can you imagine such principle from a single man?
McCain announced Alaska’s governor, Sarah Palin, as his choice for a Vice Presidential running mate. Not only is Palin a popular conservative governor, but she is absolutely nothing like Obama’s fellow Democrat McCain. She even answered some questions for Newsmax that don’t fit with his world view.
But this is merely a statement of the strength of McCain’s maverick principles.
Why do I say that? Well, in choosing Palin:
- He has virtually admitted that he needs the support of the conservatives he so despises.
- He’s realized that he won’t be able to get them with all the vicious, marginalizing, bullying, fear-spinning browbeating by his rabid supporters (you can see comments by them in many McCain stories on Michelle Malkin’s blog).
- Has at least suggested that McCain recognizes two good answers to the smarmy liberal and RINO question “Where are the conservatives going to go?” are Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin. They still don’t exist, by the way.
- He threw the Maverick Mini-Me, Senator Graham, under the bus. On a side note, what was that loser Graham expecting? I mean seriously. A popular politician from South Carolina, a state McCain needed to win to gain the nomination, conveniently entered the Senate as a freshman in 2002, and McCain just happened to take him under his wing. Why can’t that dolt Graham do the math? Did he really think he was McCain’s friend?
And where is this principled? Well, McCain desired maverick conservatives, and he succeeded in creating them. Now there are tons of maverick conservatives that aren’t voting for the “R” in this election just because he has the “R”, and they forced McCain to make this choice. In fact, it’s not too much of a stretch to say that McCain was mavericked so hard in this instance, he may need a proctologist.
McCain not only CAPITULATED UTTERLY in his VP pick to the maverick conservatives he worked so long and hard to create, but then he went to Ohio and held a press conference about it. That’s a reward to the conservatives who chose to follow in his footsteps, and an absolute dedication to the maverick principles I’ve come to know and love from him.
Do you understand now, ordinary conservatives? McCain only responds positively to maverick supporters. Become one, and he’ll dance like a maverick monkey to you, the maverick organ grinder. It’s not too late. November isn’t here yet. You could still join me in the maverick paradigm, and see how many times we can torque the Master Maverick if he’s elected.
We can also see how long it takes Palin to play the “liberalism is conservatism” card and sacrifice her credibility on the maverick altar. Then, we can have some fun with her too.
