She was McCain’s VP candidate and had to hew the McCain line on that issue. VP candidates don’t have their own platform to run on.

You need to ask her now where she stands on immigration, when she is speaking for herself.

I think I remember her citing the Statue of Liberty once while talking about immigration...that is almost always a bad sign.

But yeah, it isn’t totally fair to judge her for her position while on McCain’s ticket seeing as how leftwing he is on immigration. And to her credit, she supported the Arizona law.

But there is little to indicate she would be good on immigration. Would she oppose a path to citizenship for millions of future Democrats? Would she support attrition through enforcement? And what is her view on legal immigration? Does she support abolishing the absurd Diversity Visa program? And does she support allowing a million or more legal immigrants per year?

Who knows? I have no confidence that she would be any good on immigration, but she’d probably be no more worthless than Bush was, or Perry or Romney would be.

That is the biggest BS I ever heard in my life. VP candidates can refuse to take a stance and say that our candidate for POTUS believes x, y and z, and I am going to support that person in executing that agenda. In this interview, that was NOT the case. The VP candidate was saying “I support x, y and z”.

Come on you Palin Bots. At least be honest.

That's so funny. Using subservience to MCCAIN as a defense. Oh man. Wow.
