Don’t jump so fast.
Mrs. Palin is a unique phenomenon — maybe ever! — in politics. I have labeled her “Firebrand” in other threads but upon more thought she is more than that.
She defies classification. Her “Everyday plain talk” side draws everyday people — what used to be called “the Silent Majority” — to her and her way of thinking.
There is no question in my mind she learned from her early mistakes and has become a very astute political analyst. And she has the pulse of the Joe Six-pack and Jane Soccer-Mom.
She is a new force of nature.
But no matter what her role is, she is NOT the next President. And a run by her would be a disaster for the Conservative Movement (instantiated by the Tea Party) and its cousin, the Republican Party.
****And a run by her would be a disaster for the Conservative Movement****
Why?
Why would it be a disaster ?
Would it be more of a disaster than, say oooh, running Mitch McConnel for president?
No, no it would not, in fact, it wouldn’t be a disaster at all when you compare her to ANY of the GOP leaders, which are whom...I can’t even remember, oh yeah, because there really aren’t any.
Perhaps you can name for me the republican who stands up against the internal enemies of this country in public, vocally. Perhaps you can point out to me the republican who inspires his/ her base. Point out to me the republican that fills events with potential voters.
Who is it?
Better pick someone right now, and get the EFF behind ‘em, because the race started on November 3, 2010 12:01 am, and there AIN’T NO ONE from our side even visible except the lady from Alaska, and the reason they aren’t visible is because they are scurrying crumb feeders living off whatever democrat scraps fall from the table, and they DO NOT deserve presidential support until they PROVE BY ACTION what it is that they stand for.
