Once again, it seems that we on the right are again polishing ours skills to perfect the circular firing squad. I think you and I are on the same page. I liked your analogy earlier of the "expectant parent" - I agree, she could bring her "grades" up a tad.
In the end, I re-issue my advice: don't be such a nitpicker. If you want to encourage Palin to speak in more factual terms - fine. But I still hold that she understands and champions the idea of "our republic" (and has been able to communicate her passion on a large scale) perhaps better than anyone since Pres. Reagan.
Whether she always uses the "correct" words should be secondary to the point of her argument. I'll reiterate; she is the best natural speaker - with a visceral love for this republic and speaks with a passion and an ability to connect that are very rare. That she is at the top of the list of conservative hopefuls the next time around should be enough to garner all of our support.
If you still feel like nitpicking about the definition of these United States then you might consider modifying the top line of your FR homepage - as Texas is no longer a republic. While I understand the sentiment, it weakens your argument and might lead some to believe that you are not truly concerned about our republic as a whole.
