Palin supported the bridge to no where during her campaign for governor and there after until it became a national “cause celbre” and then she ditched it.

Palin is a political opportunist just like every other politican. My only objection is setting her on a pedesal as some kind of infallible moral deity.

Palins got warts. You can excuse or ignore them or do the astute political thing and admit they exist and then find away to get some Compound W on them so they don’t come back in the future.

Palin killed the bridge and took the heat for it, since you seem to be such a big R liberal, why don't you fill us in on who you do support.

When looking for clues on why you hate Palin so, we see things like this, during the discussion on choosing a veep for McCain, when conservatives were hoping and insisting on a conservative to balance the ticket, you posted in answer to this statement."“If he picks a pro-baby murder VP, large portions of the base will sit home and watch him lose.”" It does tell us why you are called a big R liberal.

Here is a good example of the “far right”. It doesn't matter that McCain is much better on the WOT, the size of government, how he will pick SC nominees or even that he is pro-life himself. If he picks A VICE PRESIDENT (?) that isn't solid on abortion the pro life crowd will sit out the election and insuring that a militant anti-pro-life candidate sits in the White House, signing pro-abort legislation and nominating militant pro-aborts to the SC.

I believe that's called cutting off your nose to spite your face. It's also why true conservatives who understand how the political game is played is getting tired of the ultimatums issued from the “far right”.You sound like spoiled children threatening to hold your breath of you don't get exactly what you want.

Yes, pro-lifers would rather see the man stand on principle and lose than to embrace a baby murderer.

Then your objection isn't to her, it is towards the people who support her, making this more personal than it is about her. Worry about yourself and not so much about what others think.

I suppose that writing your petty little vanity does make you an attention whore.

BTW #9, she will likely support the man who gave her the national exposure she now enjoys, and if she does run in the future, I think she'd want his support, too.

She doesn't need to make an adversary of the person who selected her as his VP candidate.
