I don’t like CPAC, I don’t like Keene, I don’t like GOProud.

I like Palin. I would vote for her in a primary.

I like Bachmann, and would love for her to be president.

I respect Palin not going to CPAC ... she doesn’t have to give a reason.

I understand Bachmann going to CPAC. While I don’t like the group getting credibility, what serious presidential candidate hasn’t given credibility and money to a major TV network or at least its affiliates? Who refuses all interviews with the enemy on principle and only principle?

I am not going to take Sen. DeMint off of my Christmas Card list because he supported Romney in 2008. If Specter-supporting Rick Santorum was up against Obama, I would happily vote for Santorum.

Frankly, I’m sick of people being called RINO because of an endorsement or attendance at most events. (I make an exception for Romney attending a Planned Parenthood fundraiser because NO good people have ANYthing to do with that operation, and he was going to persuade them that he was on their side ... different story. If Bachmann spoke at a GOProud rally, as opposed to a meeting sponsored in part by it, that would be over the line, unless she read them the riot act.)

It is excruciatingly hard to navigate a two party system nomination process and remain intact. I am willing to cut more slack on associations than on positions and record. There is a lot of space between impeccable and RINO.
