[PSYCHO-FREEP]

All we get from Palin is talk. It's easy being an armchair Quarterback and theorize other people's solutions from a rhetorical overlook, especially from the standpoint of never actually having the experience of finding a working solution and then proving it by actually making it a reality.(Palin has never even been close to having to deal with such an issue. Yet she comes off as THE authority on the subject.)

Perry is on the ground, living this nightmare. He knows first hand, what is realistic and what is just rhetoric.
Reagan also made this difficult choice. He went the Amnesty route. And the demagogues here condemn Perry mercilessly, when in reality, Perry does not approve of Amnesty. He said so himself. And he gets no credit for actually doing something about it, without the help of the Federal Government.

I don’t think she really wants the job. As long as people pay thousands to hear her talk, why go through the misery.

I don’t fault her. But, she is on the line of losing her credibility.
