I'm taking one tally mark out of the "vote for Palin" column following her discussion with Greta.

Well, bye.

You were never really with Sarah anyway.

See ya later. And, bullpucky. I've already voted for Sarah once. Check my post history and you'll find long standing support for her. See post 53 on this thread for pity's sake. Dismissing me because you think I was "never really with Sarah anyway" is not only intellectually dishonest, it reflects on how little reading and research you did before hitting the keyboard. It's great that you think she walks on water. I'm a big fan, too. But be honest with yourself and our FRiends. Palin has made mistakes. For example, in 2010 she endorsed McCain in his re-election bid. From my conservative point of view, that was a mistake despite the relativist "earning political capital" argument. And today she feels raising the national debt ceiling is okay as long as we get something out of it. Again, that is a political relativist argument that I would argue with her as easily in person as I would on this forum. Playing the tit-for-tat game is how we got into the mess we're in. It's not okay just because we get something out of the deal. Other relativist arguments are that it's okay to legalize prostitution as long as we can get the income tax out of it. Another is that it's okay to legalize drugs as long as we can get the sales tax out of it. These things are *not* okay. I'm a capital-C conservative; I'm better than that. And, I think Palin is too -- but she's "in the game" and needs an honest Tea Party reminder every once in a while to offset the crowd of worshipers around her that can't make an objective assessment.
