who flipped? Palin or Rand?

[InterestedParticipant]

I <3 false dichotomies.

glad to see someone sees reality for what it is.

Neither.

Endorsing someone doesn't mean you agree with them on every issue - it means you like them more than the other guy (similar to how many people vote).

Case in point, Ron's recent endorsements. I always take Ron's endorsement's with a grain of salt.

I have mixed feelings about Palin. I can't decide who is the real Palin.

I think that's a pretty common problem with Palin. I'm not even sure she has the mental capacity to decide who she is.

but that 10-20% is what separates Rand from the establishment candidate. most Republicans want lower taxes, are against Obamacare etc.

but finding the antiwar , anti-patriot act Republican is the challenge.

is the Tea party movement libertarian or neo-con?

Very few people agree with their candidate 100%. It's not uncommon for people to say "I'm not Republican or Democrat. I'm pro-choice but I'm against gay marriage, and for gun rights, but also support open borders" and a million other variations of that.

And then they vote for the person who most closely resembles their views or who they like the most.

That's what is going on here. Palin says "look I don't support Rand on everything, but I like him more than the other guy and he has my support in this campaign". "And Rand says, I appreciate Palin's support, she's a good person and I thank her. Ok - now back to work".

They may not say it but that is the gist of it. And for Rand that is good because there are a number of people in Kentucky who support Palin and will vote for who she tells them to.

I don't really see the issue here. Rand would have to be a complete idiot to do anything else. Unless it's the leader of the KKK or NAMBLA or something when someone supports you, you thank them and say something nice about them. That's it.

Sarah Palin endorses your candidate and this is the way you thank someone for the support? In order to end this owebama socialism we all are going to have to work together. We're not going to agree on 100% of everything but should concentrate on the 80% we do agree on.

Sarah Palin has a following, one that you could make great use of. But to read the 3 pages of this Palin bashing that is going on one has to wonder if any help is really appreciated. This is just the kind of thing the liberals are counting on. We have a golden opportunity to turn this country around, lets not blow it.

Neither of them flipped.

It's just an endorsement. I seriously doubt Rand is going to go about things any differently because of this.

He's going to treat Sarah Palin like you would treat any dumb ho. He's going to hit it and quit it. Ya feel me?

You sir, are disgusting

That is just the kind of remark from a young "newby" to politics that will accomplish nothing but lose support for your candidate.

Palin is a phony bitch who only endorsed Rand cuz he's already won.

She is owned by Bill Kristol. Nothing more than an Israeli worshipping neo-con clone of George Bush.

Yeah man, he's almost as smart as you.

As long as Rand doesn't have to repay with a Presidential endorsement...

 

[RoamZero]

Sarah Palin likes to paint herself as an "outsider" politician, which is why I think she gave Rand the endorsement. I think in the end it will help him win, so I don't see what all the fuss is about. We're here to win right?

Yeah, we're here to win, but extended families can be a bit unruly at times.

 

[itshappening]

I was surprised she did it but for Rand it is a major endorsement to have theformer Republican Vice presidential nominee endorse the campaign, probably the biggest one he could get for a Republican primary

 

[Romulus]

I'll say it again.. Palin is the one who needs Rand, not the other way around. She's trying to build bridges. So what. This is a non issue as far as Rands concerned. Some people here will try to make it one though for 'certain' reasons.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was thinking this as soon as I saw this thread.
