jindal told Obama admin and EPA to go to hell today and he started to build the berms with the national guard? I wished he had done that a couple of weeks ago. I was surprised and disappointed at Ron Paul's answer to Napolitano about state nullification of rouge federal mandates (scary “things the feds would do” – no specifics). Palin to her credit said that's exactly what Jindal should have done.

I think you, the Tea Partys by-and-large, and I are on the same page:

. .the federal government is bound by the limits of the Constitution.

I wish I had heard more arguments centered around the Constitution rather than "failed government" as the #1 problem (coming mostly from Ron Paul). Big government is our #1 problem no matter whether someone thinks its "failed” or not. I know Paul is against big government, but to me, he often fails to hit the nail on the head. I honestly think Ron Paul would be willing to nullify the Constitution in favor of some of his libertarian views.

Palin, on the other hand, nails it more often. Another observation between the two: I think Palin communicates values that resonate with the people the way Reagan did. I don't think Paul does this outside a small rabid following. I think Palin is the first real conservative since Reagan to communicate our true values that resonate with the American people

On this site, we analyze and pick things and people’s ideas apart. But I'm glad to see Palin and Napolitano trying to unify conservatives like this. I think here I’ve been discussing some of the "20%" differences and like the quote that the 80% commonality is what makes them friends and partners against this rouge federal government.

Thanks for posting this thread.
