Victoria, I criticize Obama, but I can tell you I don’t jump in on every thread. We all know what a blithering idiot he is, and nobody here is defending him.
We wish for Sarah to be the best she can be, so yes we do raise the issue when we think she has made a mistake.
Do I want to see her make a comment like this in the last few months before the election? Heck no! That’s why I address it now.
The Tea Party is the best thing Conservatives have going right now. Do the Tea Party folks think McCain is our future? Heck no, they don’t. Do you want to stand by while Sarah telegraphs that she thinks McCain is 100% supportable?
No..., you don’t. That’s all I’m sayin’. We don’t do her any favors if we allow her to make a mistake and then she hears nothing but silence, or an atta girl.
She has a good heart, but she absolutely must grow before she can be elected president.

Amen to all of this!
It's not unusual for a thread about one of our own GOPers to generate more negativity and animus than an Obama thread.
And I wasn't talking about you, DoughtyOne. I know you are a measured and well reasoned poster even when we disagree. My comment is more directed to the kids, or better yet, those with the childish mentality that seem to flock to any thread where something negative is posted about Sarah Palin. Has anyone called her a RINO yet? If they haven't, it's probably going to happen sooner rather than later.
I'm not opposed to expressing our dissatisfaction and telling Sarah when we don't think she is doing the right thing. I don't think she should support or campaign for McCain. McCain needs to go and Sarah should be aware of our opposition to McCain – no question about that. What I don't like is seeing the Sarah haters coming out of the woodwork and posting their nonsensical vanities designed to diminish Sarah and her supporters based on the latest media rumor.
