Sarah Palin has only stated that she supports our current and legal immigration regime.

You’re trying to insinuate that she supports something like the amnesty bill that McCain authored. She’s never said any such thing, nor has she ever voiced any support for illegal immigration, or for “jumping the line”.

Sarah isn’t 100% perfect, but she’s as close to perfection as we’re liable to find in a conservative leader at present. She’s going to have to refine her statements and positions on some issues in the future, and I’m sure she knows that.

Give it time. She’s not even running for office at the moment. She’ll get there in due course, and by that time, she’ll have made her positions on every issue crystal clear to us all.

I'm not insinuating anything. I posted her comments where she specifically stated that she supports a path to citizenship for illegal aliens here in this country while she was campaigning with McCain, who she is campaigning for now. If she changes her position, she's a flip flopper. Instead of blindly doing her bidding, you should objectively view her positions with the same level of scrutiny as other GOP candidates.

No amnesty, no path to citizenship, no nuance.

You’re milking this to the point of absurdity, friend.

If Sarah takes a firm position that I disagree with, I’ll be the first to admit it, but what she stated about a “pathway to citizenship” on the campaign trail as John McCain’s running mate isn’t a statement that I’m willing to hold her to.

Every VP candidate has to bite their tongue and verbally support the Presidential candidate’s positions to the best of their ability without totally compromising their own integrity. That’s got to be a tough assignment, and I think that Sarah handled it as well as could be expected, under the circumstances.

The fact is, this woman is a person of extreme patriotism, who has a love of country that is rare in this day and age. She believes firmly in the Constitution, and in our American traditions. She believes in America with all her heart.

There is no way under the sun, moon, or stars that she would ever betray her sacred allegiance to America, or to the American people.

Back away from the minutiae of your argument for a moment, and take a good hard look at everything Sarah Palin believes in, and stands for. Take a long hard look at the breadth and depth of her entire view of this country, its history, its traditions, and its people.

Take in the whole view, and put your questions and concerns about what she’s said on the campaign trail into perspective, alongside that view of her.

Just honestly do that for a few moments, and I think you may feel better about her.
