Yeah — here comes another opportunity for the Sarah-haters to bash her — and any and all of us who express even a little bit of appreciation for her...
Well, it’s fun to bait the Palin lovers. In truth I have a lot of appreciation and some concerns with her.
I love that she takes the fight to the enemy. In the end that might be the deciding factor. She doesn’t sit there and accept all their stupid assertions as fact. She doesn’t mind being the person who points out that there is a dead mouse in the punch bowl. (Ground Zero mosque, for instance.)
On the other hand she doesn’t seem to have much of a thought out philosophy beyond patriotism being good. In that way she reminds me of Bush2. Bush2 was not a good move for Conservatives, in my opinion. Before I support someone, as opposed to appreciate them, I would like them to explain their stance on the issues.
I consider the Mexican invastion the overwhelmingly important issue of our day. Lose that, and we lose the country. Permanant Dem majority in the House and White House.
So, she will have to speak clearly on this issue for me to support her. So far she has not, and when pressed in an interview faltered and sounded McCain like. Not good.
I think Bush didn’t really know what he was for or against except in this superficial sort of way. He quickly was body-snatched by the neo-cons and made to do their bidding.
When I see William Kristol supporting Palin, and being her “briefer” for VP I think two things. 1) Not again! and 2) I want a candidate who doesn’t need a briefer.
Reagan knew what he was all about. I see sparks of that in Palin, but I also see Bush2 like deer-in-headlights look.
Anyone who can’t mop the floor with Katie Couric isn’t really the person I’m hoping for.
