You could stand on her bookstore line and ask her to run when she signs your book. Is it our job to convince her (in your mind)? Get her to announce and start laying out her presidential positions as a candidate. Then there will be something to talk about.
Why did you find it necessary to ping a bunch of people? Doesn’t your argument stand on its own or do you have to bring in a bunch of Stalinist anti-palinites to do a drive by?
This was actually to counter the echo chamber which of course you already feared.
Pray for America
There’s no whining or begging just an attack on establishment groupthink she has no chance. Who is your candidate if you think it necessary to do a drive by. Who is the better Tea Party candidate than Palin? Come on don’t be bashful, who is your candidate your shilling for? Or are you the establishment?
I don’t think it was really “whining.” I was, however, scratching my head at some of the descriptions. “Conservative Country Clubbers” is an oxymoron. And what about Eisenhower as a candidate was not serious?
What the commentary does do is try to attribute a whole slew of things to Palin that I have never heard her affirm and introduces a bunch of irrelevant mumbo-jumbo that hardly qualify as criteria for evaluating presidential candidates (IMO.) So, in that, I agree with you that it is past time that she announce that she is running and make public exactly what her positions are. Then we will have something to discuss. As it is, all we really have is her past record and statements which, in many important areas, directly conflict with the caricature that her supporters are trying to paint.
And Bray — I am not a Stalinist, nor anti-Palin. Your insults strewn at some imaginary big-bad-enemy-group-of-freepers only undermines what credibility you may have.
