You accused Palin of being unserious and unspecific about entitlement reform.

I did, and another Palin supporter stated that she said that Ryan's plan was a "starting point" which again makes it nebulous.

Look, you guys wouldn't take platitudes without concrete numbers from any body else, and rightfully so. But because you like her personally you'll gloss over imperfections.

I don't like her, I don't like Perry, or Romney, or Paul or Bachmann or anybody else. I don't know these people from Adam or Eve. They're not my family, they're not my friends, I've never had dinner with any of them, and they've never done anything personally for me.

I save my like for people in my life. Can you political supporters of any candidate, potential candidate or office holder grasp that?

I just consider it prudent conservatism to be skeptical of those seeking power and to criticize them relentlessly. If they know they have a base of support regardless that only makes it easier to betray. Haven't we learned our lesson with the Bushbots and Obamatons?

Even George Washington was savaged, often by other founders. That's what your supposed to have in a constitutional republic. You want to be on top, you better expect some of us to kick that ladder.

Palin has on many occasions spoke about fixing our system on a variety of levels. That’s a fact. Are you wrong to question a politico? Not wrong, but this is well trodden ground. Why not take a trip down archive lane before questioning that which has been answered repeatedly?

No, SP shouldn’t get any more of a pass than Obama. But she, more than any other, has NOT gotten any passes of any sort.

Thanks for the nice discourse on the need for prudent skepticism of politicians in a healthy democracy ... What that has to do our specific debate regarding the validity of your specific claim that Palin wasn't serious about entitlement reform escapes me.

So which of the prospective candidates that you don’t “like” have laid out better, more detailed plans?
