No, allow me!

By your definition of integrity, specifically definitions 1 and 2, Palin fails, contrary to your claim at post 234. One, despite claiming to hold conservative principles, Palin is supporting McCain, a man who holds decidedly NON-conservative principles, if any at all. One can not firmly adhere to a set of principles yet help someone who is actively working against those principles; that is not "firm adherence," i.e., integrity. Two, if, as many Palin supporters like to claim, she is merely acting out of loyalty to McCain, then she is clearly impaired with regards to her commitment to the conservative cause insofar as such commitment is dependent on "firm adherence" to conservative principles. Of course, one could argue that the ends might justify the means, but I won't buy that argument, and neither will the millions of Americans murdered at the hands of illegal aliens so that McCain's "friends" can have cheap lettuce (we can discuss the missing strawberries another time).

As for the third definition, it makes no sense in the given context and as such I see no need to address it.

Any more issues I can clear up for you, aside from your unyielding devotion for RINOs and fair-weather conservatives?
