I guess a lot of us voted for the Republicans that “could win” over the last 10 years, and here we sit with a Marxist in the WH, national healthcare has arrived, and we have a national debt that is going to grind us to dust. I don’t have much of a problem with Palin, but I’m not going to let the NYT or the Republican establishment pick my candidate again. BTW the term “truther pig” is very persuasive and really wins people over to your point of view.
Okay, I will.
The problem here is Palin has made conlficting statements so whether you are pro-Palin or a Palin critic you have ammunition to use in the debate. The problem is there really shouldn’t be any debate, Palin should make her positions on immigration known and let the chips fall where the will.
But she clearly hasn’t and doesn’t do that for for probably one of two reasons. First, she doesn’t want to appear like she opposes McCain and that means she continues to carry the McCain water bucket. But that isn’t very commendable because it means she is shoving her own principles to the corner for political reasons and what happened to “principle over politics or party”? IF this is true than Palin has jumped the “rogue” shark, if she ever really was rogueish in the first place which I think is debatable.
Second, she is in line with McCains beliefs and is relutant to make them public because she fears the backlash from her supporters and other conservatives who put the immigration issue first. Again, not very rogueish or courageous but at least it can be ezxcused as politically expedient for her at the moment.
Until Palin comes out and clearly defines her positions and plans on the illegal immigration question many people will assume the worst. For that, her fans here who are desperately trying to defend her ambiguous comments have only her to blame.
So is Palin going rogue or is she going vogue?
