OK.......if you don't know what the word means, let me help you out....

No, allow me!

By your definition of integrity, specifically definitions 1 and 2, Palin fails, contrary to your claim at post 234. One, despite claiming to hold conservative principles, Palin is supporting McCain, a man who holds decidedly NON-conservative principles, if any at all. One can not firmly adhere to a set of principles yet help someone who is actively working against those principles; that is not "firm adherence," i.e., integrity. Two, if, as many Palin supporters like to claim, she is merely acting out of loyalty to McCain, then she is clearly impaired with regards to her commitment to the conservative cause insofar as such commitment is dependent on "firm adherence" to conservative principles. Of course, one could argue that the ends might justify the means, but I won't buy that argument, and neither will the millions of Americans murdered at the hands of illegal aliens so that McCain's "friends" can have cheap lettuce (we can discuss the missing strawberries another time).

As for the third definition, it makes no sense in the given context and as such I see no need to address it.

Any more issues I can clear up for you, aside from your unyielding devotion for RINOs and fair-weather conservatives?

"firm adherence,"

It's one mistake so it's off with her head, right?

You know, rabs, I read your post and was about to respond to it, but then I saw that you pinged the support group, and it's just not worth it to risk being involved in a one against many situation again. I can do it, but I don't find it a wise choice to make.

Post to me some time when you're able to stand on your own, OK? You can even say the same words you did here, but without the gang ping.

btw, I've done more to get rid of RINO's that you ever have (and maybe ever will), so don't give me that garbage any more either.

If you want to have a civil discussion as fellow conservatives (which I believe we are......at least I know I am), I'm all for it.

Let me know when you're ready to get rid of the training wheels, and we'll talk.

I'd especially like to discuss the concept of integrity with you.

Join the military, get a job, buy a house, take on a car payment, have some kids, pay some hardcore taxes.....then you’ll be qualified to discuss RINOS and fair-weather conservatives. Until then, you’re just another inexperienced college kid living at home with mom/dad, with a brain full of idealistic mush and wishful thinking.

The world according to you. Been there, done that. !!!!
