Am bringing this up due to a discussion with a friend who was excited over Sarah Palin joining Newsmax. Reminding him that she was a neocon and had already subverted the tea party before was not enough due to his belief 'it is good for the party'. The fable of the scorpion and the frog was meant for the liberal mindset. While compassion and forgiveness are tenets of liberalism (not progressivism) and the western philosophy, it does not mean forgiving treachery. There is a delineation between supporting free speech, the need to have open dialogue, and allowing those that wish us harm to subvert our values. The current state of the west today is due to this exact conditions. The rift that created KIA2 is due to the same scorpion being offered passage time and time again. It is our burden to maintain the garden we have sown.

Old Songbird is McCain?
Interesting how she was very much in the position that Harris is now.
That is true. He got that nickname for giving up intel to the Viet Cong.
Presumably she would have been a more tradcuck version of Harris' psychopathy.
She very much was, though her track record was more blase (to my recollection) than Harris. Lots of "what experience do you even have" over Harris' dirty, corrupt past.
But both were just women attachments to try and siphon voters.
Funny how Palin was raked and destroyed daily for that entire election over everything, including her downs kid and teen pregnant kid. While Harris being a woman gave her free pass from any criticism.
