she is for smaller federal government...She is for a smaller federal tax burden and a simplified tax code. She is extremely pro-small business. She supports a very strong national defense, and she is against nationalized heathcare.

Yeah, she's good at taking vague positions policy that are hard for anyone to disagree with, I'll give her that.

Seriously, is there a single politician who says he's for bigger government? Is there anyone who says he's against small business? Or for nationalized healthcare?

Sorry, but a few vague statements nearly everyone agrees with doesn't a cosnervative make.

A conservative fit for the presidency proposes specific policies that are based on conservative principles and then argues for them in a persuasive manner. I have yet to see Palin do that.

But who knows? Maybe she start doing that in a couple years. If she does, she'll earn my support.

She has a very strong stance against corruption in both business and government, and her record on this is further strengthened by going after corruption in both parties.

She deserves credit for that, I agree. It doesn't make her much of a conservative, however. Curruption is not a conservative or liberal issue.

That is probably because she wasn't running for president. The position of VP is never to implement policy.

Curruption(sic) is not a conservative or liberal issue.

Are you high? We are surrounded by corruption at every level of government, and the tyranny and contempt it breeds for those outside the political classes is slowly, bloodily killing America. To suggest that an anti-corruption platform (let alone a personal abhorrence of corruption itself) lies outside the realm of conservative philosophy shows a complete lack of understanding of that philosophy itself.

You should learn more about the foundation of conservative principles, my friend.
