The spelling was a simple mistake, jerk.

Thanks though for overreacting to a mild criticism of Palin. Most of the things you mention are standard positions for Republicans. Most support more drilling (yeah I know there’s more to it than that). Most support lowering taxes (or at least not raising them). Most support repealing Obamacare. Most claim to oppose gay marriage. Most claim to be pro-life.

So yeah, I don’t see much to elevate her above the rest.

I wish she would distinguish herself on something like immigration. Yeah, I know she supports the Arizona law which is a great credit to her, but on the bigger issue of unending mass legal immigration (which will lead to demographic oblivion for conservatives) she seems to be as worthless as any other prominent Republican.

So again, I don’t see much to distinguish her. It would have been better had McCain not chosen her; not because she cost him the election because I don’t buy that myth. Rather, if she had not been chosen then perhaps she could have become a successful two-term governor of one of the top energy producing states. That would have been a good resume to go for higher office. As it turned out, she’s just going to be someone you can project fantasies on about how she would have cleaned Obama’s clock, or something like that.

Thank you, smart person. The one thing you mentioned (being on the right side of the second amendment) is standard for Republicans too...and it's the only conservative credential you attributed to Palin...and as such, the statement "other than being good on the second amendment, I just don't get it?" couldn't go by without refutation. You omitted scores of other obvious conservative positions she holds.

Thanks for playing.
