Good. Neither do serious Palinistas. But we have decided as a matter of strategy that defending her viability in the teeth of the left's character assassination machine is a hill worth dying on.
First, as a matter of principle, we don't abandon our injured warriors. Period.
Second, like Rush once said, if we let them have Sarah for lunch, they learn a deadly lesson, that they have a way to always win, to always run the table. The movement cannot, repeat, cannot allow them to have that victory. It will become a pivot point in the battle that will give them an advantage we may never overcome. We cannot walk away from her without walking away from our own principles, not like this.
Right On ! Google Mama Grizzly’s Butterfilies Take Flight.Chamberlin at Gettysburg.
“...we have decided as a matter of strategy that defending her viability in the teeth of the left’s character assassination machine is a hill worth dying on.”
And for the most part the way I see that being done (I’m not saying by you) is for more than a few of her avid supporters to savage other posters on FR for some real or perceived slight to her “honor”, in ways that are not even remotely representative of Palin’s own behavior...I’m not clear on how us attacking each other is supposed to refute the left’s character assassination of her.
“Second, like Rush once said, if we let them have Sarah for lunch, they learn a deadly lesson, that they have a way to always win, to always run the table.
Sorry, but Rush is now in the dumpster too (see #35 on this thread).

Well said. Sadly, some of the backstabbing is coming from the right as well.
