I agree with a lot of what you said. And indeed she will be criticized for the list of things you presented...rightly or wrongly...but then like I said, that’s what a campaign is for.
Her record shows she’s an accomplished executive. Her record shows she’s not a demagogue...but actually governs based on what the law says. Her record shows she has experience negotiating with international influences. Her record shows that she’s principled and savvy.
It’ll be up to her to make people aware of who she is and what she’s done and what she can do if elected.
As for the McCain thing... I didn’t love it either but I understand it.
Like Palin said though, we’re not always going to like what a political figure does or all of the endorsements they make. And that’s fine. I agree with most of them and a few ones I don’t care for aren’t enough to turn me off on her. In fact, the only thing that would have turned me off was if she had attacked a conservative in order to forward a moderate or liberal republican.
Fortunately that’s just now how she rolls. So we’re all good there.
As for the rest of it...it’s important that we don’t get to a point where we worship or follow a political figure blindly. I don’t and I know you don’t either. It’s also important to recognize that if elected, she WILL let us down at some time or another. Hopefully it won’t be on a matter of principle. But it’s a foregone conclusion that she’s just not capable of pleasing us 100% of the time. No one is.
We need to accept that we won’t always agree with everything she says and does and that it’s okay. We can still support her while disagreeing with this move or that move.
But she can stay true to her principles... and it’ll be our job to help her stay on that path and to hold her feet to the fire should she be the nominee.
Agreed.
