This is getting ridiculous. Sarah Palin has made her views on amnesty and immigration perfectly clear. Going through these appearances with McCain searching for ‘gotcha’ moments helps who, exactly? Isn’t this the exact same thing people on this site were complaining about the liberal media doing during the campaign?
Sarah Palin is trying to get John McCain re-elected. She honestly and legitimately believes he is the best man for the job. She hasn’t said anything bad about his opposition, or campaigned against his opposition, she is trying to help someone she respects.
Pretending that her support of McCain is new, or that her opinions have changed, or that we somehow just weren’t aware that she has supported McCain for the last TWO YEARS is not honest. And I don’t see what it accomplishes.
Personally, I admire that Sarah’s put herself in an uncomfortable situation. It means she’s not going to shrink away from making unpopular decisions. I think that’s important in any kind of a leader.
Supporting amnesty would certainly be one of those "unpopular decisions" you seem to respect.
I suspect that if I were to loudly and repeatedly post on FR to the effect that "I support John McCain's immigration policy", I'd be ripped a new one several times a day, and perhaps I'd be banned.
Is it possible that behavior which would cause one's conservative credentials to be questioned here on FR is nevertheless acceptable in a conservative would-be President of the US??
