Palin was not hired as a spokesman by an existing leader of a conservative movement, or by a conservative committee, she is the leader and she created that position during the 2008 campaign when she tried to drag the Presidential candidate into a tougher campaign than he was running.
Palin started the knock down drag out fight in November of 2008, she was leading a one woman army before we knew that a movement was going to form. Cut off the head and it goes a long ways to removing the national face, and national voice of an alternative to the establishment power structure, as we enter the presidential primary next month.
She may be YOUR leader, but for many of us, no position is open for any politician who wants to be a leader.
Her included.
Politicians are simply people who step up, outline the positions they intend to support, and are hired by the voters.
I don’t have a leader in the sense that you do, except for the constitution - which is not a person but a document.
I am by no means alone in my reasoning, particularly not on these forums.
I have ZERO interest in any cult of personality worship.
None.
If a politician want my support, and doesnt want my opposition then two political causes they have to dump are suppression of non party political participation (Which is the nuts and bolts of old Juan’s McCain/Feingols bill) and they have to secure the borders and eliminate people who have come here who either do not support themselves entirely or who came illegally.
Period.
Now you personally may support both of those causes, as McAmnesty does. You may see nothing wrong with Palin having himon board because you like those two things.
I will not however, and my support for her has to be conditional on her getting rid of him first.
This is not debatable.
