With respect E3, her statement reads right out of the RINO playbook. If this statement were made by any other (McAin't, Graham, Hutchison, Huckabee, etc.), it would be regarded precisely for what it is... A guarded support for the RINO Republican line.
The Conservative position, which EVERYONE here knows damn well is "Build the fence, enforce the law". That is not her position.
These words of hers would never have come from a Conservative's mouth, no matter what the occasion.
Those willing to give Palin special dispensation, and refuse to regard her record with the same critical eye they would give to any other are in for a big surprise, IMHO.
Just wait and let Palin give her answer without a leash. There is plenty of time to decide.
Nail on head.
And yet there are SO many who have given Mitt that same dispensation.
