She did not say she was for the "Pathway to Citizenship", she just did not answer that portion of the question clearly.
I went back and looked up the interview. In response to the question:
To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
She said:
I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.
That interview is now 13 months old and she has never refuted her support for a pathway to citizenship. You can claim that she was being ambiguous or that she was forced to say that by Juan McAmnesty, and I'll even support you to an extent given what I know of the campaign, but she's been free and clear of the campaign for a year now and has had ample opportunities in dozens of interviews to come out one way or the other.
I'm like you, I want potential leaders to be honest with the American public about their stances on important issues.

To be clear, I did not mean the interview she gave WHILE SHE WAS THE VP of A CANDIDATE THAT SUPPORTED SUCH POSITIONS.
I was referring to her interview with Lars Larsen and in that interview she did not answer that part of the question.
Your attempt to impugn her with this statement:
I'm like you, I want potential leaders to be honest with the American public about their stances on important issues.
falls flat as well. There is nothing about Sarah that would leave an HONEST person to believe she is not being honest about her positions on the issue. With the possible exception of Duncan Hunter, she is the straightest shooter of any potential 2012 POTUS candidate.
Furthermore, you have still refused to answer my question concerning who among the potential 2012 candidates you are currently supporting even though it is early in the game.
So, care to come out from under the covers and tell who you are supporting right now?
