Several sentences, and still no mention where I can find comments from Palin addressing her unwaivering support for Scott Walker and the Wisconsin Republicans. Take what Palin said, and compare it to Tim Pawlenty's recent comments...

""Governor Scott Walker is making tough choices needed to avoid financial ruin. The nation's governors don't need a lecture from a President who has never balanced a budget. All levels of government need to bring public employee compensation in line with the private sector. The gig is up for public employee groups who demand better benefits than the taxpayers who are paying the bill. I'm confident Governor Walker's reforms will succeed in Wisconsin. Stand strong, Scott -- average taxpayers everywhere are rooting for you."

If you're so ambiguous in your position that your getting out-flanked on the right by Tim Pawlenty, you've got problems - big, giant problems.

hmmm because her post was not to Walker nor to the WIS republicans. It was to the union rank and file. It was a call for them to revolt, go another way from what their union leadership is doing...

comparing apples and pineapples is all fine and good but it makes you seem dense.

I don't see any call for a stand down by TPAw to the union rank and file in his statement do you. Does this mean TPAW hates teachers? No it means they were addressing different groups.

Palin understands, unlike you, that the the union leader's power is based on the rank and file. That the rank and file in the streets the union leadership is powerless. She called on those rank and file to not be used by the union bosses. To consider their own good instead of the union bosses.

the dems that ran away ran away for one reason. Their hope is to bring enough pressure in the form of protesters to make Walker and the GOP buckle. Palin understands what the dems are trying to do and instead of building a barricade is trying to decrease the power the dems can bring to bear......

but you know maybe that level of strategic thinking is above your level of understanding. you seem to like the concept of We good they bad....
