Sarah endorses INCREASING immigration with Glenn Beck:
PALIN: Let me address legal immigration and we need to continue to be so welcoming and inviting of those who are represented there by our Statue of Liberty. The immigrants, of course, built this country. And I think republicans, conservatives are at fault when we allow the other side to capture this immigration issue and try to turn this issue into something negative for republicans. I think we need to recognize that again, immigrants built this great country. There are rules to follow if you want to be a part of this great country. Let's make sure people are following the rules. But let's welcome this.When Gov. Palin endorsed Sen. John McCain, I was forgiving, because they had been part of a team. But Palin has also endorsed Sen. Lindsey Graham, the man whose hatred for conservatives and grassroots is exceeded in the Republican Party only by Sen. Arlen Specter. Oh, wait...BECK: Do you agree with me make the door wider and make it easier to bring people in, you know, Bill Gates said, I have a hard time keeping people here because it's so complex. Make, just streamline it and make it easier for people to come in the right way.
PALIN: Every part of bureaucracy needs to be streamlined, absolutely. And people do need to come in the right way. They cannot take advantage of what this country has to offer. The opportunities, the help that is here, they need to do this legally
I'm not saying Gov. Palin is evil, liberal, or statist. But I've been pleading with people to find out what she actually stands for before they stampede to someone based on their personality and/or presence. Maybe she can still be reached, but I'm developing severe concerns we may be on the threshold of lunging headlong to yet another candidate who doesn't represent the conservative viewpoint.
Again, I emphasize she's not necessarily bad, but we should find out exactly how she stands on:
For all on this thread, don’t listen to these trolls. Sarah said “What don’t you understand about ‘illegal’, They MUST leave.”
Who else is stepping up? The press threw her in the spotlight to denigrate her. She’s using it to push common sense. And she’s the one they are afraid of. Name another private citizen that the WH responds to when they make Facebook comments.
Agree.
On Beck, you highlighted "Do you agree with me make the door wider and make it easier to bring people in".
In Palin's response you highlighted the word "absolutely" which is not a response to the highlighted portion of Beck's question above. She stated "Every part of bureaucracy needs to be streamlined, absolutely." She did NOT say anything about increasing immigration in that statement, she merely said the process is inefficient.
Even in the completion of her answer which was "And people do need to come in the right way. They cannot take advantage of what this country has to offer. The opportunities, the help that is here, they need to do this legally", she did NOT say anything about increasing immigration, she merely said they should come in legally.
Without checking your posting history, I don't know if you are a serial Sarah basher, so for now I will give you the benefit of the doubt that it was a misunderstanding based on a simple reading comprehension problem.
Sight the distinction. Judging your post, Palin’s position is taken out of context in this article. Which leads me to believe you have a weak argument. Perhaps you can substantiate your position by sighting the distinctions.
Conservatives must be discerning as we determine who will be our public representatives, but to resort to vague suspensions simply because a candidate does not cut the mustard for you is disingenuous and analytically lacking. It certainly isn’t compelling.
Legal immigration is what our country is all about, and each of us owes our own citizenship to it, at some point. I agree with everything she said.
Illegal aliens, on the other hand, must be STOPPED.
Prepare for more insults than the Pollocks got in the 1970's. lol
McCain, the incumbent, has real power.
SP is now in a position, and in possession of sufficient support, to bend McCain and others to her preferences...she brings large popularity. It is they who will serve her....not the other way around. She's doing things smart, IMHO
The anti Sarah trolls just continue to try to snooker everyone claiming her support of McCain means she is for amnesty.
i don’t know of any candidates who will run on this platform.

Sound like a "liberal" to you?
Also note, she was Governor of the ONLY State in the Union with REAL RKBA. Alaska Statute 11.61.220 allows anyone 21 or older, who may legally carry a firearm to also carry it concealed without having to obtain a special permit. They also have enacted a Stand-your-ground law and a Castle Doctrine law. If I have my dates correct, it would have been Gov. Palin signing off on both of 'em.
Still sound "liberal"?
The anti obama trolls are a bunch of old farts who would find some kinda issue with Christ(if they lived in his day...which they probably did)
“She wants amnesty”
Where is your proof to back up your statement?
There is no comparison between adoration for what Sarah Palin stands for, and worshiping a well spoken ambiguity in Obama.
Sarah actually stands for something main stream Americans have been yelling about for years. Excuse me if I believe in someone who can restore some semblance of constitutional law in America.
But I bow down to no man or woman, only my God.
(sarc)Yeah.... What were we thinking?(/sarc)
Don’t like people older than yourself? Funny. You wouldn’t even exist if not for them!
If not Sarah, who? Who is Man50D’s top dog for 2012?
To: goldstategop
And you’re an effin troll.
