I don’t support Mitt, but he is a conservative...why shouldn’t a Mitt supporter be on this forum? I am truly sick of the knee jerk reaction seen here often of calling everyone who disagrees with a post an infiltrator or a troll.
Sarah enacted a windfall tax on oil companies...while I like her...I find this disturbing. I don’t want a conservative who later reveals (after election) that he/she is not a conservative. The jury’s out on Sarah as far as I am concerned. Let’s see what she can do.

You may want to reread my post. I said neither that Mitt supporters should not be on this forum, nor did I say that they were trolls.
As for your acceptance of Mitt as being a conservative while questioning Sarah's qualifications, well, I find that to be rather odd.
Perhaps, I misread your post...but there is no doubt. Mitt supporter are considered infiltrators by many on this forum. As for Sarah, as stated before I like some things about her. However, she did place a windfall tax on oil companies in her state. This is hardly conservative. I do not want to elect a conservative only to find out they are not really conservative. Talk is cheap. I want a conservative to govern as a conservative.
As for Mitt, I consider him unelectable due to being a Mormon which is of course unfair as are many things in life. I am not certain Sarah is electable nationally. We shall see. Although, if the primary system is not changed, she will not be the candidate as it favors moderate Republicans.
