“As for being a Palin supporter, why would you re-post that excerpt from the Univision interview, if you are?”
BECAUSE I WAS TOLD SHE DIDN’T SAY IT. I DON’T MAKE SHIT UP. I CITED IT. DEAL HONESTLY WITH IT. SHE SAID IT. I AM NOT A POLITICAL GAME PLAYER. IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE WHAT I AM SAYING REREAD THE THREAD OR LOOK AT MY POSTS. YOU BOTHERED TO LOOK UP THE QUOTE. JUST ON THIS ONE THREAD I SAID (AND I INVITE YOU TO PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO 140);

“Do you really think that she was expressing her unvarnished view in 2008 or do you think she had to toe the line set by the McCain campaign on it?”
I hope so ... isn’t that her strength? Are you suggesting she wasn’t herself? Look, I already said, in 3 different posts, that I thought she was the leader at this point in my book. Anyone who has been here more than two years and read ANY of my posts know that I believe that. What is your problem? You might want to reconsider that career in campaign management if you think it’s a good strategy to have people wondering about her forthrightness. I believe she said it because she said it. WTF?

“This is from a quick google. I don’t know why people think she’s soft on immigration.”
Hold on. I didn’t say it was true, I just said that if she did think that, she was wrong. However, you can also pretty easily find the following interview with Univisión anchor Jorge Ramos;
IF SHE DID THINK THAT SHE WAS WRONG.

“This is the constitutional solution.”
Couldn’t agree more ... except I would go back to profiling and make sure there are no illegals here, period. Break out the green card if in doubt.
“It therefore is Sarah’s solution.”
She is on record not being that clear, such as the Ramos interview I have already quoted. But, not being an absolutist, I can tolerate differing with her opinions on some matters. This is one.
I MAKE THE POINT SHE IS NOT AS CLEAR AS I AM AND WE DIFFER, BUT I STILL SUPPORT HER.
SATISFIED?
No need to shout.
Jess, I think you're being a bit hyper-sensitive about someone leveling a small criticism at you. You're splitting hairs, and ignoring some salient facts in order to make yourself right in this argument.
Why not just simply say that her statements on illegal immigration have evolved closer to your personal views, but that they don't quite parallel yours 100% at this point?
I really don't know why you have to make this into a federal case. There's really no need for this among like-minded supporters.
Peace.
