Do you think Palin privately has nothing but contempt for McCain? ?

You should be disgusted with yourself for degrading this man who served the United States and went through hell and back enduring more pain then you or I could ever possibly imagine. He had an option to get out of the Vietnamese internment camp because his father was of a high position and status with the military but this man chose to stay, fight and suffer immensely for America, that's why he can't lift his arms!! And as far as Sarah Palin goes you don't know her personally and I don't know her. Why would she rally behind Mccain and support him in any way phony or not according to you? She is a decent good woman and you bash her because she has gotten somewhere in life is politically astute and fights for what she believes in.
