Many Republicans in Washington, D.C. are not conservatives. They have no true desire to fight socialism, government health care or any other Federal mandate, but merely wish to pursue the same ends by a slower path. Ideas matter, and few on the GOP side are willing to defend theirs.
Can you name one prominent Republican in D.C. who came to Sarah Palin's defense immediately and without reservation? I myself cannot. Why the reticence and the silence? Because she is not one of them. Even after the recent election, plain-spoken, pro-God, pro-gun, anti-elitist Tea Partiers are still considered persona non grata by members of both major parties, who view themselves as uniquely qualified to "solve" America's problems - problems that they in most cases helped create.
And Republican leaders wonder why they are $20 million in the hole, and unable to convince people to donate to them, instead of the individual candidates most of us have opted to support instead. If the GOP is to become a truly relevant party once more, it must abandon its leaders' tendency to imagine that settling for half of what liberal Democrats desire is some sort of "victory". It is not; it is slow-motion defeat.
In the meanwhile, when I hear a prominent Republican loudly proclaim that what the Democrats and the news media (insofar as they are distinguishable) are doing daily to Ms. Palin amounts to character assassination and libel, I'll know we're getting somewhere.
The Democrats are hard core leftist pretending to be centrist. OTOH, The Republicans are centrists pretending to be hard core conservatives.
Republicans are not doing as you say because Palin is not conservative as she is not for deporting illegals, acted against “big oil” (capitalism) in Alaska. Illegals have to be deported or the whole U.S. will be to the left of California soon: WE ALL KNOW THIS. So I can do what you all do against Republicans against Palin “Why hasn't Palin come out strongly to deport illegals “? See I'm sinking ships with my loose lips which I shouldn't be doing because the enemy sees all. I am for big oil . I am the extreme capitalist for lazies fair capitalism and for deporting illegals.
Actually we are in a imperfect world and so I do support Sarah Palin for President And Reagan is my hero even though he made a mistake with Amnesty . And any individual or party can be destroyed thus as I did from the right. You all use unrealistically high standards to bash Republicans but never say anything about who is and has been destroying the country for the last 130 years the democrat party
I can destroy all your whining about Republicans not coming to the defense of Palin in a few words:

Illegals have to be deported or the whole U.S. will be to the left of California soon: WE ALL KNOW THIS. So I can do what you all do against Republicans against Palin “Why hasn’t Palin come out strongly to deport illegals “? See I’m sinking ships with my loose lips which I shouldn’t be doing because the enemy sees all. I am for big oil . I am the extreme capitalist for laizez fair capitalism and for deporting illegals. Actually I don’t really know Palin’s position on Amnesty but I’m illustrating this “Why hasn’t Palin or Republicans said this”. It’s unfair to Bash someone or a party this way.
