And for those same reasons, my support for Palin eroded.

Palin also called Rick Santorum a knuckle dragging Neanderthal.

Reagan never attacked other conservative Republicans like Palin has. I don’t remember him attacking ANYONE like what she has done.

The Santorum comment occured after he made a rather jerky, ass-worthy comment that Palin wasn’t attending a certain conference because she was more interested in more financially conducive pursuits. So Palin did slam back at him, albeit more tongue-in-cheek than the way it reads, and he well deserved it.

Considering the ratio of attacks/responses on Palin by GOP figureheads is probably well beyond the realm of 1000:1, I hardly buy your argument that Palin is some kind of unhinged attack dog on fellow Republicans. And considering the rancid treatment she’s received at the hands of her own “Party,” I’m amazed at her ability to hold her tongue. They stood by silently when her church was torched, when Dem operatives deliberately tried to financially bankrupt her and her family, when her children were dragged through the tabloid mud, when the media tried to pin the Tucson mass-murder on her, and endless other attacks. And to think how she worked her tail off for the GOP in 2008 and 2010, and this is the kind of gratitude she gets.

The main lesson I learned, is that the Republican Party, which I’ve supported and voted exclusively for my entire voting life, is rife with dishonor and cowardice. It makes me want to vomit.
