No big deal, just thought it strange to be so concerned about grammar and not spelling.
You might notice that it a typo, corrected immediately in the post below.
These things happen from time to time when posting extemporaneously.
However, you’ll never see a gramtical nightmare like, “No wonder young girls especially have such low self-esteem in America when we think it’s funny for a so-called comedian to get away with being able to make such a remark as he did and to think that that’s acceptable,” from me.
Thanks for the reasoned response. I too will support whatever Conservative candidate is running in 2012.
The issues are quite simple as I see them:
Unless Obama is neutered by a landslide Conservative takeover in 2010, by 2012 we will be facing staggering deficits, health system collapse, skyrocketing energy prices and a floundering economy.
There are few if any candidates that will have mastery of every issue and every industry that willl be harmed by the current occupant of the White House. But there are two key issues that I think Palin has mastered that give her an advantage in my mind.
One absolute imperative from day one of a new Conservative administration is kick starting our domestic energy industry. I can’t imagine too many Conservative candidates who understand this issue better than Palin. Her state depends on the oil & gas industry as few others do. It is one of the reasons Alaska, like Texas, has prospered while other states flounder. We have plenty of oil, gas and coal in our backyard here in the US and these are definitely “shovel ready” and real job producers.
Fiscal responsibility - She has returned money to Alaskan taxpayers and has not spent money like a drunken sailor as Governor. That means a whole lot to me after observing behavior in DC these last few decades.
I personally like governors as President. You need to understand the role of an executive and how to properly delegate and surround yourself with competent people. I believe Palin has this ability as well as that little extra special something that all good leaders require.
I also believe she is a woman of integrity, a quality I rarely see in politicians. I spotted Clinton for what he was the first time I met him while he was Governor of Arkansas. We met during a speech at the Excelsior Hotel. Still to this day I can’t imagine how people fell for his BS.
Obama, HRC, Biden, Gore, Pelosi, Kerry et al - They morph into whatever they think the voters want every election cycle. Their pandering is sickening.
I went to church with W before he became Governor. He was a good man, but definitely not a strong Conservative. History will treat him well for what he accomplished after 9/11 though.
This is the point. I look at Palin and I don’t see a savior or a cult leader. I see an accomplished woman of integrity. Someone who has fought the good fight from PTA, to city council, to mayor, to oil & gas commisioner to Governor to VP candidate.
I see a Conservative Christian woman who was brutally attacked by the state-run media and entertainment world in ways I have never witnessed in my 40+ years of following politics. But yet, she survived and thrives. And frankly, if she can make the left this crazy, I would love to see them implode when she is in the White House.
I vote troll.
When I first posted on FR I constructed a thought about Gov. Palin that some considered trollish and I got banned. I fought the ban by proving I was not a troll and it worked.
I say counterpunch is punch drunk
touche’. However, she’s a solid Christian, which gives her strength and wisdom far above others with book smarts and pedigree.
Oh geez, man.
She’s a “solid christian” is the fallback position now?
Is this really what it comes down to?
Is this really where her support is coming from?
This is the ultimate in mindless identity politics.
Jimmy Carter was and still is a “solid Christian.”
But he’s also a dolt who screwed up everything he touched.
You’re going to need a better reason than that.
Unless Obama is neutered by a landslide Conservative takeover in 2010, by 2012 we will be facing staggering deficits, health system collapse, skyrocketing energy prices and a floundering economy.You are right about what America will be facing in 2012.
There are few if any candidates that will have mastery of every issue and every industry that will be harmed by the current occupant of the White House.
You are scared and confused by the notion that there are people on our side who won’t drink the Sarah Kool-Aid.
If they won’t get in line, then run them out of town, right?
I thought forced conformity was a Democrat thing.
How does it make you feel to know that you are no different and no better than the lunatics who post over at the DUmp.
Nah, DUmmies want Sarah Palin to be the GOP’s 2012 candidate, because they know 0bama will defeat her for the second time in a row.
Jimmy Carter was not a solid Christian and that is not my fallback position. I agree with her stand on everything I’ve heard her speak about: Life, liberty and protecting all that goes with it. If her faith in Christ offends you, then that’s too bad.
How would Palin revive the economy?
What would she do about healthcare?
What would she do to rollback the 0bama agenda?
Who would she appoint to her cabinet?
Empty platitudes don’t get you past the introductory paragraph.
Show me some detailed policy proposals from her.
BTW, Jimmy Carter is as solid a Christian as you can get, by every objective measurement.
Apparently your definition of a “solid Christian” is simply someone you are personally simpatico with on issues having nothing to do with religion.
Perhaps you meant “solid conservative” instead?
What about George W. Bush?
Is he a “solid Christian”?
And more ... I think we’ve got a live one. Quite stealthy, too; been hanging around a while. I’m gonna check and see if it removed the flattering picture of Governor Palin yet ...
And I hope you don't mind if I pilfer it! :)
OUCH!
Jimmy Carter is a marxist and an anti-semite.
Don't buy into Punch's attempt at labeling Sarah as a poor speaker. She is just the opposite! Millions know it, even the Democrats.
