Palin endorses Haley for S.C. governor
Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin endorsed South Carolina state Rep. Nikki Haley in the state's Republican primary for governor.

Haley, the first Indian-American elected to the South Carolina legislature, trails Attorney General Henry McMaster, Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer and Rep. Gresham Barrett in recent polls.

"It is a tremendous honor to receive Governor Palin’s endorsement," Haley said in a statement. "Sarah Palin has energized the conservative movement like few others in our generation."

"She has helped millions of Americans find the power of their voice," Haley added. "I am extremely proud that she has offered her support to my candidacy."

1. Am I the only one who thinks Sarah going around endorsing primary candidates is somewhat unseemly?
Like she is the Queen or something. Or has any actual political power.

5. Yep and the sooner others realize this, the quicker her
endorsements will finally disappear. Why aren't people sick of her yet?

6. You know the old saying
"You can fool some of the people some of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." Well in the republican party there are still those who you "can" fool all of the time! They are the ones who listen to Beck, Limbaugh, Fox news, and of course think Palin is the second coming of Christ! It's the small minority that don't really have a clue as to what is going on around them because they get their info from the con artists, and snake oil salesman I listed. It's really sad that so many are so stupid, but then again, another old saying says "there is a sucker born every minute", and Palin is taking advantage of that for as long as she can suck up the money!

She will go away someday, and most of her followers will stop supporting here BS, but when she does go away she will be one of the "elite" rich that she condemns so much, and who the idiots that follow here detest so much.

7. It must be tough work for her to think who she will anoint for each office.
Especially when the anointed consider it to be a tremendous honor.

9. Tough work? I'm sort of wondering if it's really a matter of
opening the envelope and seeing who signed the check. But maybe I'm too cynical.
:evilgrin:
