I don’t deny I’ve had mixed feelings about Palin, but not tonight. She really has turned me off the last couple of months with her behavior from the peanut gallery. I do NOT believe she is announcing anything but that she isn’t running in the future. I DO think it would be ridiculous to announce a run on the radio (regardless of laurel and hardy in Alaska), and if she were to somehow end up with the nomination I would not only vote for her but campaign for her. If you don’t understand that, you’re trying not to. I don’t believe you are stupid.
You see that? That's the sort of statement that causes so many people here to find you less than credible. You just have to get in a sideways dig at Palin, no matter what you say about her.
Not once have I ever seen you comment favorably about her many excellent speeches over the last six months, and every one of those speeches was foursquare in line with our nation's Founding Principles. Yet you claim to be a conservative.
"Behavior". What behavior are you referring to? Her going after the state-run media? Her going after Obama? Her twisting the media into pretzels, as they tried to keep up with her bus tour?
Perhaps it was her opposition to the boondoggle of the recent debt negotiations, and the abominable bill that finally passed. Or was it her visit to the Iowa State Fair, where she was swarmed wherever she went? Was it the interview she did with Hannity there? Perhaps you were turned off by some of the articles she wrote? You know, the ones that sounded exactly like Reagan talking?
Please, tell me what exactly turned you off about Palin in the last couple of months. I'm dying to hear this.
