I don't mind her flip flopping and changing her position. What I would not like would be if she were lying about her position when she was supporting the TARP bailout so that she could be a loyal lackey for the McCain campaign. Such behavior goes against all that we know and like about Sarah Palin.
So since she wasn't faking it, then she must have been in favor of the TARP bailout in 2008.
She later changed her mind. That's good. Everyone is entitled to change their position, but it is dishonest to pretend you never held a position that you publicly favored.
If Perry had changed his mind, he would be called an opportunist. But it seems a lot of Palin Supporters would prefer to believe that Sarah Palin was being disingenuous when she was running for VP, but that we can be assured that she will be totally straightforward now.
Does not compute.
Needle in a haystack as far as I’m concerned. If more and more examples like this begin to surface then it could be a game changer for me.
As far as I’m concerned, she had to toe the McCain line. She could have in-fact thought the bail outs were the right thing to do, but we’ve had a few years to see it’s effectiveness or lack thereof.
You have just as good a chance of finding Big Foot than figuring out what was actually going on in her mind.
