Palin pushing McCain on Social Issues?

[brooklynite]

Source: MSNBC

GREEN, Ohio -- Palin may be overstating her running mate’s positions on several key social policy issues, in an effort to shore up support from Christian conservatives. She told a prominent religious conservative Monday that McCain was committed to the positions in the Republican National Committee’s platform that are more conservative than his previously stated views.

Palin told Dr. James Dobson in a radio interview, which aired today, that she believes McCain -- if elected -- will implement the Republican Party platform, which includes positions stem cells, abortion and gay marriage that are more conservative than previous positions McCain has taken.

“I do, from the bottom of my heart,” she told Dobson. "I am such a strong believer that McCain believes in those strong planks and we do have good conversations about some of the details too, about the different planks and what they represent.”

Is Palin taking charge from the old fogey? Or is she positioning herself for 2012?

1. Palin Is Making an Ass of Herself

and she's damn good at it.

And the money in the GOP will let her, just so that she buries the stake deep in her own heart.

2. Making your running mate look stupid?

Oh, THAT'S a winner! Bravo.

3. I wonder if McCain wishes he could march her off one of those planks now...

5. The more I listen to obnoxious Palin

and watch McCain try and act like he has any idea what's going on even in his own campaign, I keep getting this scenario in my head of when McCorpse approached her to be his running mate: McSame shows up at her house (next door to Russia LOL) with his security guards and handlers, he walks into the living room, shakes her hand as he introduces himself, then asks her to run as the VP nominee. Palin then replies: "You betcha!! Want some moose-pie, or maybe some fresh wolf meat Todd and I just killed and butchered?"

McCorpse declines the lovely offer and says he has to go to scrounge up some campaign money. He then tells her he'll see her next at the GOP convention.

Neither of them have a bloody clue about the other - their views, their goals, etc. Then imbecile Palin tries to wing her way through interviews, hoping no one catches on. McCain is too stubborn to admit he made a mistake in her. And the 2 wingnuts act like they have any idea what to do with the other one.

Except, I have no doubt AIP luvin Palin is the one who wears the pants in that team. And as soon as she can get rid of him if they should win, she will. Maybe it'll be Cheney style. Palin to McSame: "Wanna go wolf hunting, John?" LOL

6. Palin looking to her own future?

Maybe she's giving up on McCain and looking to run again in 2012?

9. Without a doubt.

Her ego is already huge. And with the army of her equally dimwitted....correction, make that more dimwitted disciples, who actually buy her lies and think she's so wonderful, she'll be back. Like an incurable disease.

But by 2012 she may have run out of money to support her makeup/wardrobe addictions and will have to sleep around with some wealthy GOP supporters to keep up her habit and still have a few million left for her campaign. That's assuming the AIP actually has gone to war with the US over Alaska and she has to pick sides.

Actually, that could be pretty interesting...I wonder what her die-hard fundie supporters would think of her then?

7. When this is over, will they walk the plank?

Please?

8. one thing is clear about mclame

if he doesn't like you, he won't look at you. In today's interview with Brian Williams, mclame barely looked at Palin. He was with her like he was with Obama during the debates. To me, that spoke volumes about what he thinks of her.

I think that he has now discovered just how rapaciously ambitious this woman is and if she could put a bullet between his eyes and walk over his carcass and get away with it, she would.

10. The dying farts of a piggish campaign.

11. Does she mean, no abortion even if the mother's life is in danger?

That is part of the GOP platform the Mc Gramps
silently signed on to.

Not even the Catholic church is that hard line.
