Pardon me but I never claimed Palin’s pragmatism and Bush's liberal stance on amnesty were similar actions but they have both provoked criticism here and the response from many of the same defenders of each has been the same...show me where I equated Palin and Bush....I equated the reactions here when each has been critiqued

and as someone banned for over a year during the amnesty squabbles here I will stand by that...criticizing Bush back then was serious business

thank you very much, you missed the point completely and if you had read down a few other posts by me you might have gleaned where I said precisely that Palin was not just another politician.

btw...I and my wife were there a few months ago at the now flooded Opryland for the banquet just to see her, I think I am the last person who needs lecturing on Sarah Palin . I've supported her from jumpstreet but if she does something I don't like I will say it

“I’ve supported her from jumpstreet but if she does something I don’t like I will say it”

So have I. When you say some of her followers are engaged in a cult of personality, that is a shot both at her and at her supporters. Especially in the case of these two endorsements, which have logical not emotional underpinnings, with which you happen to disagree. It is hardly a cult of personality to disagree with your logic, flawed as it is.

BTW, Criticize her all you want. Praise her all you want. The one does not cancel out the other. If you cast a slur like “cult of personality” our way, I am going to call you on it. You can’t back it up. Did you read it on the Frum forum or hear it on CNN?

I support her. Period. paragraph. Just like I did with Reagan when the Richard Vigueries tried to blow him up over precisely this kind of nonsense. In so doing they gave aid and comfort to the GOP Establishment and to the Dems, who had the same objective, but for different reasons. Is that what you want to do?
