“”If McCain is a RINO progressive, and Sarah Palin says that she shares John McCain’s vision for America, does that suggest that Sarah is, or is not, a true conservative?”

I think it is pretty obvious that Palin not only is conservative, but the most conservative possible candidate out there with the ability to garner votes on a national basis.

As to her statement above, she is obviously campaigning for McCain. Yet, her responses to policy questions after the 08 campaign have been conservative responses. She is politically forced to support McCain or the establishment in the GOP would murder her, not literally.

She is playing politics and is attempting to win a national election. Just like when Reagan endorsed Pete Wilson and appointed Bush VP.

That is the way it is.

You play ball and get a conservative in the WhiteHOuse or you ostracize yourself and whine that all we have are RINOs running. If Palin doesn’t run. That’s what you get. Romney is a done deal.

While you’re pondering that, I’ll continue:

I answered your question, now you answer mine. Name a credible candidate that is known by more than 3% of the people, who can take on RINO Romney, and is a conservative.

At this point, I would have to say that out of a very limited field, the only credible candidate would be Fred Thompson. Unfortunately Fred has also endorsed the RINO John McCain so we’re back to square one.

Not if you include her continued support for the Bush bailout and the claim in her book that the GOP House opposition to this bill "hurt the cause". How on earth can she be considered the one who is leading the revolt against big government when she threw those who stood up to this big spending proposal under the bus??? In addition she does not seem to ever have repudiated her support for the Law of the Sea Treaty. Even McCain switched his position on this from support to opposition when he ran. If I really thought that she was as conservative as she is portrayed, I might be able to muster more enthusiasm for her.

Romney is FINISHED...Romneycare has Bankrupted Massachusetts

Hucksterbee is FINISHED. Paroled a rapist murderer.

Any more non entities you care to throw up here to justify Palin?
