when the blinders regarding media bias come off.
It is a beautiful thing

If someone really wants to know Palin's position on the issues, watching her interview with Sean Hannity this week may give a much better perspective. Yes, Hannity is in the tank for McCain/Palin, and the questions will be softball questions, but I'd bet a bundle that he's going to give her every opportunity to make her views heard without silly editing or gotcha interrupting like Gibson did.
What I did get a bit of a sense of in her interview with Gibson is that despite her personal views on social issues, she has a sense of political reality about what can and cannot be done. The Terry Schiavo case is the single event that set the public against the Republican Congress in 2005 and started the wheels in motion for the 2006 election results. I don't think a McCain/Palin administration (who will be dealing with Democratic majorities in Congress) will attempt to repeat that fiasco. You won't see any serious attempts at regressive legislation floated out there.

I'm glad to see you admit that if elected they won't do anything.silverscreenselect wrote:If someone really wants to know Palin's position on the issues, watching her interview with Sean Hannity this week may give a much better perspective.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
