If it were Palin vs. Biden, or maybe even Palin v. Obama, for president then I'd have to at least strongly consider voting Democrat for the first time in my presidential voting lifetime (1984-present).

Dang, I'm having trouble voting for McCain but why you ever even need to type something like that?

Are you trying to convince your friends or yourself that Palin is so bad that voting for Obama is preferable? There's no need to endorse Palin or to avoid calling her out on issues, but this is nothing more than gratuitous bashing and is quite unbecoming.

Thankfully, she's just the running for backup quarterback. In this particular case, I just think the situation is inherently funny. I'd have posted it in 2004 if Bush had done it.

Without weighing in on the validity of the observation, I will second what Steve Plunk writes and add that James' posts are beginning to become indistinguishable from Alex's. These Palin is a [insert epithet] posts seem to be nothing more than rationalizations of what you prefer to believe and are damaging your well-earned reputation as an objective oberver who happens to be conservative. You have every right to believe and to write what you want, but you might want to pay some attention when your friends express some bewilderment.

Does one have to be a fan of Palin to be conservative?

I believe that was one of the key criteria set forth by Edmund Burke and Bill Buckley.

Is this still a somewhat conservative site?

Can't one find the selection utterly ridiculous and still be a conservative?

Why continue to take cheap shots? I supposed none of us have ever misunderstood something being said in a crowd. This Palin bashing is getting very tiresome.

I don't have PDS, I think she is fresh breath of air, a real conservative, and much smarter then the average Donkey, or even the above average, but it's funny.

Ignoramus, right James?

Obviously, as they couldn't hear her, she couldn't hear them either.

But no matter. For you guys, it's just further justification for your PDS.

I guess an article must have had a line of sight view of what she could see. Too bad we don't have it here.
