I can`t say I`m all fired up over Palin. Her support of a leftist wanna-be, Juan McLame, shows a willingness to allow personal feelings to trump Conservative/Constitutional principles. And I don`t buy the "He brought her to the party" argument, point is she`s there, now show some principles other than how you can be into personal paybacks.But in her defense, she did play a major role in helping other Tea Party candidates win, so personally, I can forgive her major screw up here.

However, it seems you`re making a similar mistake, just as the Hardcore Republicans, in following a person or party and not principles. Principles override any person or PARTY! It`s at the heart of the failure of the "Lesser of two evils" approach, a party first approach and damn the principles. Well without rock solid principles how will a person resist the political cesspit that's D.C.?

Without principles, we`re guaranteed a whole new click of self promoting politicians, a new ruling class and not self disciplined Conservative legislators or a limited government.

That is disingenuous - Palin was picked as his VP nominee, its not just "personal feelings". She had no choice whatsoever, there and I doubt even one Other FReeper would begrudge her support of McCain.
