Are you describing a fictional Sarah Palin? I have never heard her buy into the idea of man-made global warming, massive illegal immigration or heard her endorse the bail-out. In fact she spoke out against it. If she doesn’t pass your “real conservative” litmus test I don’t think many will.

Sarah Palin on global Warming:
"Some would have you delay exploration and development in the federal offshore of Alaska over concerns related to global warming and its effects in the Arctic. First of all let me make it clear that the State of Alaska understands the effects of climate change in the cryosphere. We Alaskans are living with the changes that you are observing in Washington. The dramatic decreases in the extent of summer sea ice, increased coastal erosion, melting of permafrost, decrease in alpine glaciers and overall ecosystem changes are very real to us. Many believe that in order to mitigate these long term and systematic changes it will require a national and global effort to decrease the release of human produced greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. However, simply waiting for low carbon emitting renewable capacity to be large enough will mean that it will be too late to meet the mitigation goals for reducing CO2 that will be required under most credible climate change models, including the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) modeled scenarios."
Notice she not only endorses man-made global warming now, she also endorses the outrageous exaggerations and falsifications of the IPCC.

Sarah Palin on immigration:

Univision: As governor, how do you deal with them? Do you think they all should be deported?

Sarah Palin: There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant - there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants - not only economically is that just an impossibility but that's not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue that we face with illegal immigration.

Univision: To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?

Sarah Palin: I do.

Note that she justifies "a pathway to citizenship" (the language Bush, McCain and Kennedy use for their amnesty, since they hate that word) by citing the economic necessity of millions of illegal aliens. With 17 million unemployed Americans, we need illegal aliens to take all those jobs? Can we agree that she needs to be educated on such issues, and hope to press her to come around on this issue, instead of burying our heads in the sand because she is so likeable? Bush was very likeable in 2000, and also promised there would be no amnesty.
