Oh please...don't give me that PDS "compare her to Biden" BS! You know full well that she was force-fed Steve Schmidt's script for the McCain campaign, that the Univision interview happened long before she went rogue, and that she subsequently told everyone what she really thought about illegal immigration when she went down to Arizona to support Jan Brewer with the demand for a border fence.

Give it a break and stop stinking up the thread with your nonsense.

That’s actually not true. Palin like the GOPe mainstream, including McCain, responded to tea party pressure in 2010 by saying “secure the border first, and then we can talk about that afterwards. The American people are compassionate...”

In 2010 Palin told McCain on Fox that there was no daylight between their positions on illegal immigration. Supporting Brewer on the borders is consistent with that, but it doesn’t necessarily indicate an opposition to amnesty.

Heck, Rubio is the biggest pusher of his Gang of Eight bill, and he claims he’s against amnesty.

So the very good news is that Palin came out against both the weak borders and amnesty aspects of Rubio’s bill yesterday.

We need her to make that her number one issue through 2013—or the country and conservatism are lost. We also need her to clarify that she’s against the bill outright and not just dancing around wanting to tweak it a bit before supporting it.

Yesterday was a big, big move toward that and I’m praying for the rest.

I haven't said she was like Biden.  So your "...don't..." "...compare her to Biden..." comment was twisted.  I said that we don't give the Left's vice-presidential candidate (I used Biden as an example only) slack for what they say during the campaign season, and I don't think it's reasoned when we do it for our own either.  We must measure those we support and those we don't support by the same rules, if we're going to be honest with ourselves.  If we're going to support something, or disagree with something, a good yardstick to use is whether we would accept or like it if the other party was supporting it.

You know full well that she was force-fed Steve Schmidt's script for the McCain campaign, that the Univision interview happened long before she went rogue, and that she subsequently told everyone what she really thought about illegal immigration when she went down to Arizona to support Jan Brewer with the demand for a border fence.
So what you are saying, is that if you were running to be vice-president, you would lie your ass off, and totally toss truth to the wind.  Simply brilliant!  And you think I'm disrespectful of Palin.. You must also think Biden isn't responsible for anything he says.  Good to know.  As for Palin's support for Arizona's new immigration laws, it concerns how Arizona will handle illegal immigrants within the state.  It is not a comprehensive immigration reform package for the United States.  It does not set down the policies for illegals becoming legal or becoming U. S. Citizens.  You can't grasp the differences, and I undestand that.  I'm not going to give you a hard time over it.

Give it a break and stop stinking up the thread with your nonsense.

We have all pretty much accepted that illegal immigrants turned citizens generally vote about 70% for the Democrat candidates.  So here you are faced with over 100 million new citizens from this group over the next twenty years, and you reference my expressed concern with how the illegal immigration policies break out, as "stinking up the thread with your nonsense."  One can only wonder what you might find to be more important than this issue.  As far as I am concerned, there is no bigger issue, when it comes to the future of our nation.  So if you don't like the 'stench' of my thoughts, I suggest it might not be related to my thoughts in the open, but rather the proximity of your head, which isn't.
