Personally, I’m against homos serving in the military at all, but I wouldn’t allow that single issue to be a ‘deal breaker’

The dissolution of traditional American values is a "deal breaker".

If Palin believes in God (which she claims she does, and I believe that she does), she doesn't have the luxury of deciding if this abominable behavior is something that can be pushed aside; she'll have to deal with it eventually.

This post makes no sense.

For the majority of Conservatives, who support Palin and are not quite so obsessed, all I can say is "see ya".

She needs to back peddle TODAY.

“However, I think it’s a stretch to claim that she is a proponent of repealing DADT based on one re-tweet.”

Palin should just state where she stands, period.

What, is Sarah Palin not available to explain her own words, so they feel they have to do it for her?

This isn’t some guessing game, or some mystery to be solved, where you have to put the pieces together. Sarah Palin is a public figure, with a Facebook and Twitter outlet, and also a place on Fox News.

She knows exactly what she thinks, and is perfectly capable of saying what she thinks. So we don’t need a blog site trying to second-guess her.

I do happen to agree that we can’t be sure she was talking about Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. What we CAN be sure of is what she actually put out on her twitter feed — a phrase suggesting that people who obsess about homosexuality are often closeted homosexuals.

But Tammy Bruce herself seemed to believe Sarah was supporting her view on DADT. And Tammy was defending Sarah at the time as someone who was not anti-gay.

And given that it is clear Sarah Palin follows Tammy Bruce’s tweets, and was paying attention to the actual conversation since she re-tweeted one of the tweets from it, it seems reasonable to believe that Sarah SAW Tammy Bruce’s subsequent tweet where Tammy said Sarah seemed to support DADT.

So if the conservatives4palin want to believe she wasn’t doing so, they have to explain why Sarah would let one of her close friends misrepresent what she was saying, and then stay quiet while multiple news outlets discussed it.

Now, it could be that it is a ploy by Sarah, to build up interest so she can make a major policy declaration about gay issues. But if that is coming, we still don’t need idle speculation by her blogger supporters trying to “discern” what she might have meant — Sarah will be able to explain it all when she decides to do so.

Meanwhile, any supporters who insists she has a particular belief will look silly if she comes out with a different statement than they expect.

I think we can be pretty sure otherwise she would not have retweeted Tammy’s statements.

You should stop supporting the gay agenda. This website does not allow such commies.

Sorry Sarah! We’ve got enough of a mess to clean up without you supporting the ideas of the Liberal Progressives.

If this is true, no support from me. I haven’t quite made up my mind to support her anyway. This might be the deciding point for me.

You should at least wait for her to clarify her remarks.
