Implying that Palin is acting like Perry does nothing to deflect the criticisms.

Of course it deflects criticism, because it causes me to think about how perfect any conservative really is.

There is none perfect, no not one.

Therfore, we are insane to kill our own to defend our favorite.

We end up with a bunch of dead candidates, and the enemy walks on to victory.

Then we get Obama or Obama-lite (Romney).

Like you were asked earlier, what basic conservative positions do Palin and Perry differ on? Not any fiscal issues, not on life, not on God, not on guns, not on big government, not on marriage and family, not on a strong America, not on our military, and on and on and on.

They differ a bit perhaps on how to deal with border security and with illegals already here, but I don't know.

Are we going to destroy Perry so he can never be senator from Texas? Or Palin so she can never be senator from Alaska?

Will that help us take back the senate some day?

On the flip side, the questions being asked now of Perry will be asked by the Democrats with far more viciousness if he wins the nomination. Perry and his supporters need to come up with concrete answers to counter them. Saying that 'Palin did it too!' isn't going to cut it come fall 2012.

I agree we shouldn't eat our own. But we need to make sure the winner of the nomination has the strength to win in the general as well. McCain is a prime example of where that failed.
