Trouble is, there never has been a PDSer that gave a flying freak about facts.
The other day there was one I saw that had facts posted to him over and over. He just ignored it and plowed ahead with his canned 4 year old DU talking points about Palin the amnesty supporter. Her recent speech did not phaze him.
A few of us had a go around today with another ethically flexible feeper who was screaming at us evil purists over the lesser evil/principle thing and how horrible we all are. Then said we needed to vote for people like Palin Cruz.
Of course the fact that Palin/Cruz are all about principles did not faze him. The other day one was going on about what a staunch Romney supporter Palin is/was...And he claims to be a big supporter of hers. He pops up on her threads frequently.
My point is this. “conservatives” in name only sure do enjoy twisting her to their purposed...whatever they may be. And facts be damned.
Sarah supported Mitt about like Texas voters supported Mitt. Because he was running against, and the only one who had a chance to defeat, Barack Obama. That’s how strongly Sarah felt against Obama. That’s how strongly Texas voters felt against Obama.
Another parallel between the views/actions of Sarah Palin and the views/actions of Texas voters:
Sarah supported Mitt Romney AND Ted Cruz. Texas voters supported Mitt Romney AND Ted Cruz.
Happily, enthusiastically supported Ted. Reluctantly supported Mitt. But supported both.
Walk, chew gum at the same time.
It was all done by people with pure motives. Trying to save us from an Obama despotic regime going on and on. Trying to get a top drawer conservative into the squishy Republican minority in the Senate. Same people, did both.
It doesn’t really matter what this poster you rail against said about Sarah. It’s fine to note it, but it doesn’t matter when searching for the truth. The truth is the truth. It actually happened. It’s clear. It isn’t muddied up. It’s out there. There’s pure-motive reason for it.
One has to twist it, and twist it, and twist it, to use it to some other purpose other than the pure truth, to mix it all up.
And to live off of a grudge against people who with pure motives supported both Mitt Romney and Ted Cruz.
While lauding Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz, yourself. While attacking the Romney voters but not the Cruz voters. When they were and are the same people.
Perhaps, Lord willing, one day you will accept the truth on this. But I daresay you won’t do so while here on FR, because you have a “histoire”, as Rush would say, to maintain and defend.

While I agree with all you’ve said about Sarah, I feel Rand Paul is getting very similar treatment. His rhetoric is not as strong as Gov Palin, but his position on illegal immigration is just as conservative as Palin or Cruz and I judge him by his positions on issues not his rhetoric.
