Yes and no.
You're right in that there are, indeed, perfectly good reasons not to support Palin - and they are why she's not my choice. I don't like her support for the LOST treaty. I don't like how she actively kneecapped a real conservative who was primarying McCain. I'm not keen on her sometime softness on illegal immigration.
Yet, your statement that "not even the biggest Palin supporters here will argue that" is not necessarily true. Instead of dealing with legitimate qualms about Palin, there are a TON of people on here who simply dismiss these as being basically on par with the whole "Trig scandal" and who then accuse people who disagree policywise with Palin of having PDS.
For a lot of FReepers, PDS basically means "you're not 110% on the Palin bandwagon."
PDS is someome like indylindy that comes on Palin threads, jumps in to the fray stirring up crap making baseless claims et all as a run through his/her posts show.
I myself have participated in a number of discussions with SP opponents where the tome and discourse were totally normal with no hate, accusations and so on. Happens all the time. Don’t equate PDS to disagreement as they are very different things.
Anyone acting like a catty schoolgirl with “TM” and “Saint Sarah” and “Godot” and all the rest will be met head on and hammered. The problem is that there is so MUCH PDS that it often devolves before legit differences are aired.
Thus my earlier statement and ping to the mods/JR.
What did Hayeworth in was his damn commercial touting "how you could rip off the fed gov't"... Matthew Lesko Jr.
As a DeMint supporter, what do you say about his support of Romney, an actual endorsement?
Really would like to know.
