So much for her supporting cap and trade, as some (Romneyites) have argued on here over the past couple of days...
Palin’s the only Republican who has the guts to call Zero’s policies for what it really is. FReepers who criticize her over her “lack of experience” or length in time in office are entirely missing the point.
The Romneybots will go to any lengths to eliminate conservative competition to their liberal choice.
Already last week she rejected outspokenly the Waxman-Markey cap and trade crap.
Was Mitt outed yet? Now THAT will be a "bombshell".
I've distanced myself from the rather vitriolic side of debate regarding Romney, so I must admit I'm not as expert on his politics as some others (pro and con), but from my lay experience on the matter, he certainly doesn't seem to be as conservative as Palin.
The primaries in 2008 were one thing. This is a whole new ball game. I cannot see any reason to hold onto any of the primary candidates from 2008; none of them (the ones who were prominent) hold a candle to Palin in terms of conservative credentials. Back in 2008 Romney's candidacy was arguable (again my relative ignorance on him must be taken into consideration here). However I don't see any reason to rehash those old debates when Palin’s conservatism cannot be questioned.
The only issue with her may be “experience”, but IMO, she's got plenty. Sure she resigned as Governor but, as far as I understand it, she had only one year left in her term. Also, the constant attacks by certain Alaskans questioning her “ethics” were making the task of administration difficult, I imagine. She didn't “quit” because of “pressure”, she resigned because it was in the state's best interest.
I suppose one could also criticize her interview style/presentation. So what if she isn't as polished as other politicians? Haven't we had enough of politicians that are too afraid to say anything without a prepared statement anyway?
For these reasons, I am amazed that anyone who would call themselves a conservative in the US today, given the state of politics today, would find a reason to dislike Palin. Have we learned nothing from the ‘08 primaries? Haven't we learned it's useless to cling to one’s favorite candidate when there is a clearly better choice? At least on FR, haven't we learned these lessons?
Mittwits spreading false rumors about potential Romney challengers? I never heard of such a thing!
Well, except for stuff about Thompson. And McCain. And Huckabee. And...
