“Now you go on to say that you appreciate a lot of things about her, and you praise what she’s done for the country. Color me confused. You came off at first like someone who never quite ‘got’ Palin.”

I don't see how you could possibly be surprised by that. Go back and read your first comment from the perspective of a forum regular who's reading a post from someone who's new to the forum.
It's not like you've got a well established track record around here. How are we supposed to know what you think, except by what you post?
