Palin, as an elected official, seems to have been good at saying nice things about republicans.
If it wasn’t for Paul’s incorrect views on the war, he’d be an OK guy who couldn’t get elected President.
I can say a lot of good things about Ron Paul. Doesn’t mean I’d vote for him.
Buchanon of course is psychotic as always. Palin humored him by wearing his button at his rally when he visited her town. She then worked for one of his opponents, Steve Forbes.
And she is a conservative, so of course she was happier with Romney than she was with McCain. But now that McCain is our nominee, she’ll be there with him, praising him for what is good about him, and pushing him more on drilling in ANWR and dropping the global warming nonsense.
We all know that for a conservative to be the VP pick, that conservative had to enthusiastically back the McCain presidency. It’s just how things are.
It isn't that he is against the war, it is why he is against it- the why that represents a fundamental difference between him and Conservatives. He is against it because he believes the US is not a force for good, but a force for evil. He is against it because he places the problems of the world at our footsteps- instead of the solutions being in democracy and freedom. He is against it because he doesn't believe our interests extend beyond our borders and we can just hole up and everything will be all right. He is against it because he doesn't believe we should honor our treaties.
