How is it a plus that a Republican takes on corruption in their own party?

What is this, bizarro world? :crazy: Is purple the new black? Seriously though, I wish people would question Palin more about her reform "credentials". Even if you take her at her word (at your own risk) that she fought corruption in her own party, why should she get extra credit for having a corrupt Party? Should she get extra credit because Republicans have a tendency toward corruption? Reminds me of that Chris Rock stand-up. The one in which he talks about people wanting credit for doing things they're SUPPOSED to do. Like, "I take care of my kids." You're SUPPOSED to take care of your kids. "I've never been in jail." You're not SUPPOSED to go to jail! "I've got a job." You're SUPPOSED to have a job! Now the Palin version: "I didn't go along with my corrupt party members." You're not SUPPOSED to go along with your corrupt party members.
