There’s nothing to “twist.” It’s her own letter with her own signature as Governor. I don’t know any real conservatives who support the Law of the Sea Treaty. For the first time, it would give the UN taxing authority

There's plenty to twist. You're assuming that because Palin wants one part of the treaty (mineral rights adjudication), she wants the US to bow down before the UN. It just isn't so. Why is it that only conservatives like you who virulently oppose Palin are pushing this point of view?

You’re either for the treaty or you’re not. She is, no matter how you dance around it or try to justify it.

I find your tagline to be highly ironic, considering the fact that, like Gerald R. Ford, Ron Paul, and John McCain, Mrs. Palin thinks that states should decide the abortion question. Implicit in her position is an assumption that states accord rights. There's no getting around it.


Sarah Palin on World News with Charles Gibson

September 12, 2008

CHARLES GIBSON:  In the time I have left, I want to talk about some social issues.  

SARAH PALIN:  OK.

GIBSON:  Roe V Wade.  You think it should be reversed?

PALIN:  I think it should, and I think that states should be able to decide that issue.
