...”You can’t go about trashing your running mate in a presidential election, with just 2 seeks to go to the elections.”...

I question her judgment in having accepted the invitation to BE his running mate...if it meant having to lie or mislead us about her position...especially when it was very clear to everyone where he stood on this issue.

Ya mean you didn't support the "king of amnesty" that had a running mate that was allegedly in total disagreement with him?

lol...

You should get your facts straight.

McCain was of course for amnesty. In fact he was the King of Amnesty.

Having then received the Republican nomination, McCain flip-flopped and said that he was against(lol) amnesty.

Sarah has never said that she was for amnesty.

Sarah has never run for VP with a Presidential candidate who was campaigning for amnesty.

Those are the facts and Sarah's judgment on the issue so far appears to be okay.

There are times in life, when we accept certain opportunities that come up in our careers, with the hope that we may be able to effect some changes in policy once we get in, instead of standing outside and watching a train wreck happen.
Look, most folks on FR and most conservatives were never keen on McCain from the get go. However, his nomination of Sarah Palin convinced a lot of conservatives to go vote for the ticket, not so much for McCain, but for Sarah Palin and against 0bama.
I think it's quite possible, that Sarah Palin had every intention of fighting for conservative causes from within a McCain administration if he they had won.
As an example, I remember seeing Sarah Palin on CNBC once in an interview, in which she said she was going to continue to work hard on McCain, about that ANWR drilling, which she was 100% for, but which McCain was 100% against. Sometimes its better to work within an administration even when you don't agree 100% with all the policies, in order to effect change.
