“Don’t put the horse before the cart. Wait until after she is a candidate or then nominee. I sure that agents of the left will be all over these threads trying to make these things an issue within the Conservative and general publics mind in order to sow dissention in her natural base and then on into the mindless middle. None of these suppositions will work with me, I think that I have a pretty good handle on where Sarah is, and I fully trust and support her.”
Quit worrying about what the “agents of the left” are going to do. Right now we are in a primary. I hope Sarah runs, because she brings zest and excitment with her. However, I plan on voting, in the primary, for the candidate that most closely represents my stance that moral/social issues are what are most important. Get them right, and the economy will follow. So, I’m looking for the candidate in the primary that will best represent this. So, I WANT TO SEE PLEDGES by candidates about judicial nominees on things like abortion, stopping the homosexualization of the military and America, etc. Disclaimer first - I AM NOT endorsing Bachman at this point, but she is quick to pledge to do things important to me. She has signed several pledges about abortion and traditional marraige and eliminating judicial activists. Will Sarah Palin do the same? I am hoping so.
IF someone is afraid to “commit” to a position in a primary, they don’t have waffle room in a general election. I WANT a candidate that will readily commit to MORAL VALUES.
I realize others may not feel this way, but this is my position. I see no reason to back off from it. Also, BTW, you won’t see me bad mouthing (except liberals in the GOP) other conservative candidates once I chose my “horse.” I will sing the praises of my pick and NOT dwell on the faults of other candidates (the conservative ones).
I am glad you feel you can fully trust and support Sarah Palin. I hope I will feel the same about her or another candidate when the time comes. FOR NOW, I am remaining objective and NOT fully trusting anyone. Regardless of their past.
Thank you. I wish other FReepers had the same attitude.
