Wolf asked Sanford to name one difference between the economic policies propounded by the Bush administration vs. McCain going forward. Sanford starts with NAFTA after losing his concentration, straining to find something as if he had no idea that he was going to be asked that question, underscoring how unprepared he was. He tries to link it to credibility and only he and God would know where he was going with that because it wasn’t obvious to Wolf or me or any no. of millions who watched it. Then, having judged himself to have been insufficiently foolish, he goes to earmarks. Again, earmarks-NAFTA, the connection is not readily obvious, not even to him anymore. He says that the President has not vetoed earmarks, McCain has been consistent on them. Wolf points out that they’re both for NAFTA, free trade. Sanford again bravely saunters out of the sphere of his ignorance to chart a brave, new world of a different ignorance and says he was trying to make a point about consistency. When he can’t do it, he decides to just pull 0bama into the mix. Wolf then does exactly what I would’ve done and reminds Sanford that the question was about Bush and McCain and their stances on economics.
Maybe you’re right, though. Perhaps if he had been interviewed by Neil Cavuto or Glen Beck, he would’ve been cogent. That must be it.
LOL
There’s a video of Mitt being asked the exact same question.
And he answers with ease.
Like I said, I don’t trust CNN to portray Conservatives in a positive light. For all those waving around some soundbytes from the Clintoon News Network to discredit the best Governor in the country to tout liberal Slick Willard because he lies better on tv is shameful.
