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.

Agreed. I like Sarah too, but some of her ‘supporters’ on here (I use the term loosely) have begun to seriously worship her and that concerns me.

She is human, and fallible, not a god.

I still do not think that Sarah misspoke about the debt ceiling. She is still a private citizen. What she was saying is that from her position she can’t really do anything to stop anything that the congress does at this point in time. She says that it looks like they are going to pass something that will raise the debt ceiling, even though she does not support it and would not go that route herself. So if they are going to do that anyway, then get something useful out of it. Don’t throw away what little power you have congress.
