IMO who endorses a person says a lot less about them than who they endorse.
For instance, it says very little about a person if someone like David Duke prefers them to Al Gore. It says a lot about them if they endorse David Duke.
If Cheney or McCain endorse Sarah, that’s okay. If she endorses McCain, I think that is terrible. And sadly, she has.
My thought on Cheney, is that he is leadership material personified. I am not convinced he would be pulling for my team in total though. To what he extent he actually would be, is up in the air. I agree on that point.
“If she endorses McCain, I think that is terrible. And sadly, she has.”
It is quite obvious why she endorsed him. It is a matter of loyalty, personal loyalty, which is a virtue beyond whether you support cap and trade and tax cuts. You think a Presidential aspirant, if he is pure on the issues, is free to be a disloyal ingrate. I do not. I think that shows a lack of character. It is an old fashioned quality (a virtue which is far superior in God’s eyes to most political positions) but one I think she shares with very few politicians, one of them being Reagan. That is why I think she is special.
“My thought on Cheney, is that he is leadership material personified.”
Leadership material? I don’t think it is leadership to advocate against the best interest of the military which protects us all, simply because your personal family situation makes it more convenient to do so.
BTW, why did you bring up the McCain endorsement? I detect in your posts a latent hostility to Palin, maybe more than latent. I used to read your posts years ago and you were solidly conservative, against Bush in 2000 as too liberal, if I remember correctly. How is it that you are so blind to Palin’s virtues? Who do you support? I really am curious, because it is not like you, at least not as I remembered you from your posts of several years back.
