Posting Sarah Palin’s own words is not an attack.
She disagreed with McCain on ANWAR. If she felt strongly enough about the issue she would have voiced dissent.
Simple fact is that because she was Governor of Alaska she didn’t have to deal with the issue frequently as Perry does as a Governor along the southern border. That means she has less of a record trail. But as a candidate for national office she didn’t flee from the idea of amnesty. People are fond of posting Perry having a D- with NubersUSA but she has a D. Her position isn’t all that different from his.
Out of the choices with a chance of winning the nomination only Bachmann has a decent grade on the issue.
Bachmann’s grade (the B- I think you’re referencing, although correct me if I’m wrong) is based off of stated positions from Minnesota. It’s not like there’s anything to be risked by talking tough next to Canada. She hasn’t introduced any legislation to curtail illegal immigration herself, although I applaud her for at least publicly talking the talk.

The VP's job is to parrot the President. You start practicing that as a candidate. When Palin would veer off "script" all hell would break loose. We sure read about it enough on FR. Remember when she called Limbaugh? It was "leaked" that she wasn't supposed to and she never did it again. They punished her after McCain lost by telling ugly stories. Remember she was a Diva and demanded expensive clothes? She was not allowed to speak her mind. She had to parrot McCain. There's more than enough proof of her REAL opinion on amnesty.
