“your friends close but your enemies closer.”
In what respects does she differ from them? I didn’t see any indication before or when she joined McCain’s ticket (everyone made the excuse that she couldn’t differ at the time), or since (in spite of how he’s treated her), that she denounces any position he takes. Excuses were made when she took the bailout. Now she’s participating in a group that is CLEARLY the wrong people going in the wrong direction. Do we make that ‘ok’ too? She’s already stated RHINO talking points about not being able to “round up” millions of illegal aliens and deport them. No one is suggesting that, but it has been used by RHINO’s as an excuse for passing Comprehensive Immigration Reform (AMNESTY). When asked to be clear on if she supports a “path to citizenship” for undocumented immigrants, she said “I do”. I just don’t see how she differs very much from the rest of them. Don’t get me wrong, I wish I did, but I don’t.
Well, she is a sitting Gov. She is required to deal with the will of the people of her state. If they, through their legislature say: take the money. What was she supposed to do, say no - "I know better than you"?
And if she is our conservative voice, why not have her be a part of this group? Should we leave it up to the RINO's to be the only voices in the group?
And if she wants to fight to get to the WH, then she's gonna have to engage all comers. R & D alike. And she can't do that sitting on the sidelines.
Ah ... the Perot Factor ... became the Obama Factor ... and is now the Palin Factor. People engage in wish-fulfillment, ascribing their own views to politicians they support. That's what's going on, why many are not seeing what you clearly see. I too am looking for conservative 'beef'.
Time will tell if Palin's conservative cred is skin deep or in-the-bone.
