It should be stated as an opinion, however, when imparting such a strong negative feeling on the part of another, when it is pure conjecture.
That Sarah has stood for the GOP candidates, a few if which, I questioned but I still support her and understand her power to persuade voters to vote in favor of this or that candidate (John McCain) against a friend in a primary. I support her choice, regardless of whether or not I have agreed.
Sorry I felt snottiness where none was intended - and to your point, I suppose you have a point - but then again, it's an internet opinion forum. I would think that FR comments are assumed to be opinions. Of course it was just my opinion. I wrote it. I never intended for anyone to think I knew this from some sort of inside info. And it looks like you might be the only one who did. Altho in fairness, it is NOT PURE CONJECTURE. It is partial conjecture based on ample evidence of the type of candidate Palin prefers versus those she will accept.
