Conservatism and Republicans are not mutually exclusive. You should know that. And you are also the one who is making the tie Palin must be like Reagan tie as well.

That is certainly true. This is a site which promotes Conservatism, not Republicanism, and my point precisely was to address the fact that Palin is hardly Conservative.

And you are also the one who is making the tie Palin must be like Reagan tie as well.

It is not I who is calling Palin Conservative. Quite the opposite- It is the others here who are calling her conservative, and drawing comparisons to Reagan... It is my position that she is more of a moderate with libertarian leanings, as my first post on the thread laid out: #225.

My only argument has been that Palin cannot harness the three pillars of Conservatism, and for that reason, should be rightly rejected.

Your position, which I replied to, suggests that Conservatism needs to be redefined. I take great exception to that remark. The problem all the way along has been the ongoing attempts to redefine Reagan's House, when the only palpable successes have come when it is honored. It is a fool's errand to go against it.
