And I don't seek to destroy Palin. But she hasn't sold me yet. Are you sure she's the best person to articulate conservatism? I'd like to think that when asked to name just one SCOTUS decision she disagreed with, she might have come up with SOMETHING. I didn't even go to college, and I could have named a few. How about Kelo? I think that the criticism of her is obviously over the top, but not without its grain of truth.
I think we should be very careful and very picky looking for our next leader? Why must we all buy in to Sarah now? Do you buy the first car you test drive?
Here's a sensible counter-proposal. Let's accept Sarah as an applicant for the job. Done. No more discussion needed on the subject of Sarah. She's a prospect.
NOW, let's go find two or three more, with the goal being to find someone so outstanding, we might even like them MORE than Sarah. Let's find two or three that we think could ALL do a great job, and then watch them compete with each other for our support. Aren't we supposed to stand for competition as a positive force? Then how about applying it to this task?
Makes perfect sense to me.
How about you advocate FOR someone, rather than getting in the way?
If you have a favorite candidate, speak up.
Otherwise, you’re just being a termite.
“Makes perfect sense to me.”
Well, if we’re going to make good sense a criterion on threads like this, participation will slow to a crawl!
Buried way down in your third paragraph, is your agenda:
“Here’s a sensible counter-proposal. Let’s accept Sarah as an applicant for the job. Done. No more discussion needed on the subject of Sarah”
-
WRONG.
This is hardly the time to try to be quiet. People are po’ed, and rightly so. And marxists are about to take over America.
No more country club rules. We need to be fired up — about Sarah or whomever, and NOTHING should be done between now and 2012 to quiet down any enthusiasm.
If you have someone you would like to build enthusiasm for (I’m guessing your posting on behalf of Romney, from your subtle undermining of Palin) then it is your obligation and duty to SAY WHO.
Otherwise, get out of the way.
And take Romney with you!
I’m so *disgusted* I ever contributed to Mitt’s campaign.
