If you don’t think a lot of folks around here are obsessed with people over ideas, you are not paying attention. And I really really really really tire of any notion that Sarah Palin is of great value as a non candidate means the commenter is anti Palin. I really tire of it. It’s moronic. Its close minded. It’s paranoid. It’s illogical.
She is NOT a candidate. Her IDEAS are STILL VALID. Learn it, live it, love it. That is NOT an anti Palin sentiment. Quite the opposite in fact.
CEW,
Most here at FR are obsessed with a philosophy and when a leader espouses them, most would raise that leader, period. Present another leader who is willing to do the same as her in both in words and actions and most will likewise.
As I said, ideas just don’t migrate by osmosis so a leader who is not afraid the espouse a philosophy with articulate confidence is deserving of the mantle. Ergo, the desire in many that she would have taken on not only the liberal media but also the Republican establishment.
That is all. Without a leader who walks the walk, ideas are just mere words and catchy phrases.
