Parse it all you want. Palin just took her conservative membership card out of here purse and shredded it while she recited Juan McCain word for word.
whatever.
NO WAY am I going to let you single-issue zealots define “conservative” solely as purity on immigration - an issue that has barely come up in this election.
I’ll fight to my last breath the re-Birchification of the conservative movement.
Gawd, sometimes FR seems filled with drama queen single-issue nutjobs.
I’d say that if a person agrees with most conservatives on taxes, spending, foreign policy, energy, the courts, the culture, and a whole array of other issues, but has a differing view of immigration, that person is STILL a conservative.
The nativists have stolen the word. It’s time to steal it back.
I get the feeling Palin is a social conservative, but ‘moderate’ on everything else.
