I take that to mean "issues" are weapons. The left has only one ISSUE, total dominance.
It is stupid to be suckered into this cross-hair crap. You cannot debate a fake issue. The left does not care.. it's moved on and come up with several other "issues."
Conservatives are swamped trying to respond to every unanswerable accusation. It's stupid.
To some extent you’re right about getting suckered.
But notice how Palin herself never does.
