It's a sobering thought to admit that the Left and the MSM were better judges of a Conservative's character than I was.
Here ya go, just for you. But only because you REALLY need it.
.
Conservative soldiers were mostly AWOL when she was so viciously attacked by libs and the media. Before I expect her or any other person to take the reins and lead us out of this mess we need to be willing to stand up for them and stand right with them. Without strong fearless people willing to stand with her she would be giving her life for nothing, more like suicide than nobly giving one’s life for one’s country.
Conservatives need to be worthy of great leadership- Palin or anyone else. We cannot sit on our arses and expect Palin or anyone else to wage this war alone to take back our country. Until we are willing to stand up to the libs and the media every single time they spin and twist the knife on other conservatives we get what we deserve for leadership. Until we are willing to stand up to RINOs everytime they do what RINOs do we deserve more RINOs. No great soldier ever won a war without being surrounded by great troops.
I think the piece that a lot of Palin supporters were missing goes back to the college situation. I’m not someone who wants a Harvard lawyer as President. It would actually be good to say have a President who graduated from Nebraska, Marquette, Arizona State or any number of normal people schools.
However I would like that person to graduate in four or five years. Maybe with some honors. Palin went to something like five schools in six years.
Now you say what does that have to do with things? Well I go back to when she quit as Governor when the going got tough just as she quit all those colleges when presumably things got tough at those schools.
I could never reconcile that with all the Palin supporters here who kept attributing all these amazing conservative attributes to her. To me a conservative is all about working hard now for gratification later. Persevering. Not quitting. Doing mundane things knowing that in the long run they will add up and pay off.
I really liked her when she hit the scene. Waited in line three hours to see her and McCain in 2008. But the more I saw of her, the more she just seemed to be someone who wasn’t cut out to be a President. She Peter Principled at mayor of Wasilla.
