William F. Buckley, Jr. supported the Panama Canal Treaty. I’ve read Will for years and yes indeed he has position I disagree with. But on the taxes, the Soviet Union, big government in general he is solid.

He worked on Ronald Reagan’s debate team in the 1980 campaign for example. He was friends with Howard Baker yes, you know Ronald Reagan’s former chief of staff.

If we start throwing people under the bus, like Will, because they don’t worship at the feet of Sarah Palin then we are done for.

I don't think anyone here is wants George Will to "worship at the feet of Sarah Palin". How about if he just supports whoever the Republican nominee is, even if that person is more conservative than he would prefer?

As I noted in my earlier post on this thread, Will has essentially admitted that he would vote for Obama over Palin. He doesn't think Palin can be trusted as CIC, but he seems to be fine with Obama as CIC. Is that position defendable by someone who considers himself a "conservative"? I can't imagine Ronald Reagan making the same choice.

Palin’s got almost twice the length of gubernatorial experience of Christie. You advocate Christie for prez but denigrate Palin’s experience.

How should anyone take that seriously?
