There have been a goodly number of queens through the ages, haven’t there? I take it detecting sarcasm is not your strong point.

sure, it’s good when a political figure has those positions, but that does not mean she’s not a socialist on economic and foreign policy issues — yes, she’s a rarity among leftists for retaining some traditional values but it does not mean that Sarah Palin should campaign with her or that either would want to compaign with the other.... if they can find some common ground on the issues you mention, that’s great, but it’s hard (for me) to imagine they’ll ever want to work together in the way(s) this thread initially recommended.

I never took seriously the theory that Chinchilla could campaign for Palin (why the heck would she ecen if she saw eye-to-eye with Sarah on everything?); I merely wanted to point out that even if her party is Leftist she could well be more conservative than some Republicans.

[Enchante]

well that’s true

in many circumstances she would be preferable to RINOs, although I still would not trust her economic or foreign policies

but you make a good point
