I completely understand your feelings in this — and no one is angrier than I at the Republican Party for its dozen years of retreating on every front. But, I really think we’re wrong if we blame it in any way, shape, or form on Sarah Palin. I can tell you with all certainty that just a week or so ago, one of the most respected conservatives in America told her point blank that she had to free herself from the dictates of the McCain/RNC “experts” if she was to have any chance of emerging what was otherwise shaping up to be a fiasco. Thank God, she took that advice.
So, please, let’s not throw Sarah to the wolves along with those who have sounded retreat at every turn for the past dozen-plus years — including John, “my friend,” McCain. Sarah Palin is one of us, and we need to stand by her as the Darkness falls.
Don’t throw Sarah to the wolves,said Briar Rabbit.
She had been a bit of a subject on this forum for the past two years and definitely a favorite on the right. And we can thank Sen. McCain for elevating her to the national level. I seriously doubt that any of the other frontrunners in the GOP race would have made such a bold, ballsy, and forward-looking VP. choice.
