I agree that most on FR that have backed the potential candidacy of Sarah Palin as President were probably backers of Duncan or Fred. I personally wanted Duncan as President and Palin as VP. All anybody heard that backed Duncan was he can’t win. No name recognition, not enough money even though he consistently had best answers for America at the debates. If everybody spent time backing him instead of giving all the reasons he couldn’t win it would have been a closer race and the conservative principals would have had their day.
What I am wondering about is those that are the most vocal about Palin in a negative way are just as afraid of her popularity as the Dems are. In other words they do not want a conservative President. They want a moderate. To rip Palin on this latest move she made is just a different day, different hour, different issue than what they did to her 48 hours ago. Similar as the naysayers of Duncan around here except Sarah Palin has hit a grand slam with the PEOPLE and the money usually follows such popularity. So now the moderate Republicans must find other reasons to bring Palin down, no mercy, no consideration, no understanding.
It would be nice if Freepers would identify their ideology more clearly instead if ripping potential candidates in the Republican party to pieces. All because they do not agree with their policies and beliefs about Governments role in their lives.
The Republican party is a very big tent. I am clearly a Solid Conservative and Sarah Palin is the only one out there that comes close to representing my beliefs about Government. I am waiting on other Conservatives to show up.
Most of them like counterpunch are pushing Mitt Romney.
Great post! I couldn’t agree more.
