You make an excellent point.
Why should it even be necessary to dig around with Google and do "research" and parse together old quotes to try to figure out Palin's positions on such front-and-center issues as "gay marriage", taxpayer-funded "spousal" benefits for same sex "unions", and DADT? It is troublesome, to say the least.
Palin’s official, stated position on same-sex marriage is effectively the same as Barack Obama’s.
