It is nice to know she sees a difference.

Let me ask you this.

If I told the Tea Party I was one of them, backed John McCain against a more Conservative candidate, told the Tea Party that John McCain was one of them, told America I backed John McCain’s political policies, told American I wanted to have illegal immigrants register so they could stay here and work, and wouldn’t be sending them home, would you think I was a Conservative?

If I changed my preference from Republican to Conservative without renouncing my past positions and refraining from any explanations or clarifications, would you see me as a Conservative?

I don’t think so.

Now she’s trying to tell us who the good candidates are, and I’m having a hard time buying into her qualifications to do so, in light of the fact she still hasn’t come to terms with her past support for McCain.

I’m not here to take Conservatives to task. I still feel quite compelled to keep pressure on Palin over a number of issues.

DO, you and I have been over this too many times. I have given your factual information that Hayworth was doomed long before Palin endorsed McCain, etc.

You also know I did not like it when she endorsed McCain and criticized her numerous times.

And I have also, on numerous occasions, said that who someone endorses makes no difference to me, nor will who (in this case) Palin endorses won't make a difference in who I support.

But I will say this... in light of Palin's tough stance on cronyism, Obamacare, the economy, etc., if she endorses Perry, Newt or Romney *before* the Convention, I am done with her.

She's already stated she will support whoever gets the nod because 'its anyone but Obama'.

I do not believe that is a winning strategy, and, will not support that either.
