What books have she banned, arbitrary? What sweeping abortion reform has she enacted? Has she overturned Roe v. Wade anymore than Illinois or California has? C'mon tough guy,
DEEDS before WORDS.
As far as words go, Palin has committed that she would not propose new anti-abortion legislation. The ONLY mention of that "banning books" diatribe was hearsay from a disgruntled librarian and yet the record of her term isn't conservative at all.

I've QUOTED that part where Palin rejected the Republican position repeatedly and ESPECIALLY the fact that she vetoed that bill to stay consistent with her strict constitutionalist views.
John McCain voted against the gay marriage ban even though he was against same-sex unions precisely because of the same reason. It WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. That's pretty much exactly what the constittution was designed to do.
So?
That bill was actually an attempt by the Alaska legislature to OVERTURN a supreme court decision on gay benefits, although Palin internally agreed with the measure, her principles about the sanctity of the constitution and the separation of powers overcame whatever political costs there may have been for vetoing it.
What it says about her personal views is that she BELIEVES STRONGLY IN THE SANCTITY OF THE CONSTITUTION and would jeopardize her immediate political well-being to pursue that conviction. What did it say about Obama when he refused to show one ounce of spine on votes as critical as protecting the privacy of child abuse victims?
McCain remains opposed to Roe V. Wade and yet his most recent position is that the states should all hold referendums on abortion BEFORE any attempt to overturn it is held. And before any of that, before McCain proposes ANY changes to RvW, his first commitment has always been to prevent the selection of activist judges so that stuff like RvW would never happen anyway.
