I posted this on another thread earlier this evening, and the Palin worshipers immediately pounced with all emotion, no substance. I stand by my comment:
Yeah, well those of you that have a love affair with Sarah Palin going on had better take another look. I could never really understand the infatuation other than the more the Dems attacked her, the more the Pub base rallied around her. Other than that, from what I’ve seen is she has a charismatic personality and is a nice woman, but otherwise not particularly impressive as presidential material.
My distrust of where she stands on lots of issues, which I can’t figure out, is based on the fact that she was willing to partner up with John McCain for his presidential run in the first place. We all know what McCain’s policy stances are, and they are RINO to the max on all but a few issues. She was willing to back him and become his yes woman as VP should he have won. And we all know what those policy issues would have been, pro illegal immigration and amnesty, anti-waterboarding and/or “torture” of jihadists and their ilk, pro cap and trade, etc. etc. etc. And Sarah as VP would be parroting his policies.
Now that he has lost, she still has his back by campaigning for him. Her “loyalty” to him (even though all of his advisers during the campaign and until this very day have backstabbed her continually) supersedes what she should know is loyalty to the best policies for this country as a whole, not the individual (McCain) who opposes many of them.
I don’t trust her, I don’t trust those who claim they are mavericks, and like McCain, are more willing to attack their own Party than the opposition Party, as Sarah Palin is also wont to do. I hope somewhere along the line the Freepers on this website start to think about her with less emotional passion and more cool, logical thinking.
I am looking at other candidates to carry our banner in the next presidential election, as I can’t see Sarah Palin winning. Her negatives have been driven too high, not of her own doing, but nevertheless the end result is as it is, and her lack of ability to talk specifics over generalities on too many subjects is not a good sign as to her depth of knowledge on so many issues.
Hopefully, her being a Fox News contributor will help her to hone her skills on a variety of world topics and domestic issues. That will help I would surmise, In the back of my mind, I really don’t think she will run for President. Just a gut feeling. We shall see. Perhaps her being on Fox will have the same effect as Huckabee has had by being constantly in the public’s eye; however, how many of you are happy with that result, catapulting Huckabee into a major contender should he choose to run for President again. The law of unexpected consequences.
For too many, I believe Sarah Palin, not unlike when Obama ran and won, is a tabula rasa (a blank slate) upon which we the people fill it in with our political wishes and hopes. It didn’t work out real well with Obama, and I surely don’t want another mistake by hiring someone whom no one knows where he/she is really coming from politically. I want someone I can trust to not be another John McCain.
Her actions as of recently is that she is someone who has accepted her place and she is willing to stay in the backseat and let RINO’s lead.
that is not good...
