“You know - that period of time during which she was compelled to support the stated policies of the presidential candidate?”
Look. The dumbbell I was talking to said she never said this. I said she did. I proved it. Go back over the ten thousand posts I’ve made here and see how many (probably 1,000 plus) I have made supporting Sarah Palin.
What is wrong with you? You know I am no Palin basher. One of her most popular pictures came out of my computer. Cripes. Get a grip. And don’t be in such a hurry to point out that she is not as scrupulous in speaking her mind as you seem to be saying. I think she has evolved, which is giving her a hell of a lot more credit than you are. And I did NOT conveniently leave off anything. I was proving a point - that’s all.
She doesn’t go as far as I would, which, if you had bothered reading my posts, is profiling, card checking and deporting anyone on the spot. That doesn’t mean I don’t support her.
Jess, I know your handle, and have seen you posting here for a long time now, but that doesn't mean that I'm current on your personal support, or lack thereof, for Governor Palin's presidential aspirations.
Granted, you were trying to prove a point in your response, but I believe the post you responded to (correct me if I'm wrong) provided a pretty thorough debunking of the "soft on illegal immigration" charge.
As for being a Palin supporter, why would you re-post that excerpt from the Univision interview, if you are? Surely, you understand that Gov Palin was on the stump for McCain at the time, and was compelled to support his weak immigration policy. That interview is simply a recording of her mouthing McCain's words - not elaborating on her personal positions.
I don't understand how any Palin supporter would throw out that particular snippet, knowing that her detractors eat that stuff up like red meat.
Sorry if I don't follow your reasoning.
As for myself, there are a couple of things that I would like for Palin to clarify to settle my mind, but I trust that when she declares her decision to run for office, that those clarifications will be forthcoming. Until then, I'm more than satisfied with what I've seen (and heard) so far from her.
