Wow, another 500+ post Palin mudfest. I’d join in but am not sure whether I want to risk a 4th banning.

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?

Bob,

Good to see you back.

But it seems you've learned nothing with your forced sabbatical and you are as dense as ever.

Clearly define her positions?

She does this daily in her speeches and her FaceBook posts. The only issue left for clarification is the Illegal Immigration issue.

As usual, PDS sufferers such as yourself, always practice some form of deceit, this time you chose to use extreme hyperbole, exchanging the fact that she is unclear on one issue for she is unclear, by implication, on all issues.

Guess you are heading for another vacation soon.

Good points all. You sound reasonable to me, so I don't see how you were banned. Granted Palin is oh so close to crossing the line when it's beginning to appear that she is enthusiastic in her support of McCain. Still, I will give her the benefit of the doubt and wait to see how she directly answer the amnesty question in the future. I don't like it if she took the line that it's impractical to deport 12 million people. Defacto amnesty is a non-starter. I don't know what you do about 12 million people that the Federal government has allowed to illegally occupy the country, but they created the problem, they should fix it. I saw Palin answer a question regarding abortion in the governors race, and she didn't run from it. That's why I'll keep my mind open.

Welcome back. Your absence leaves a vaccuum that’s hard, nay impossible, to fill.
