Why am I supposed to be impressed by what a feminist Democrat has to say?
I just go by what I observe, and I’ve observed someone in Sarah Palin who is not a leading light among conservative thinkers.
I understand the mentality of those who want to continue John McCain’s work of pushing her onto America.
They believe that she possesses some electoral qualities, starting with her being a governor, and ending with her being female, and the her views on abortion fills the in between.
They believe they are being clever and beating the Democrats at their own game of identity politics.
They like how she looks on paper, and that is good enough for them.
Perhaps they would be on to something, except that her performance under pressure is completely lacking.
When it’s time for her to shine, she’s dim.
When it’s time for her to pick up the ball and run, she fumbles.
Her performance is uneven at best. Watching her in a debate or an interview, you never know if she’s going to give an incoherent bumbling answer, or narrowly squeak by with a passing grade. She never knocked it out of the park, that’s for sure.
I was there, right along everyone else, too.
Crossing my fingers, hoping she doesn’t blow it, and usually coming up disappointed, or relieved by a narrow miss.
And after a while, I had to give up on her.
George W. Bush’s public performances were bad enough, but compared to Sarah Palin, he’s a master orator. His debate where every answer was “it’s hard work” started looking pretty good compared to Palin’s performances.
I don’t want to have to go through that again. It is aging me.
And we shouldn’t have to.
Conservatives were once the guys with the ideas.
Now we’re just playing defense, trying to make excuses for the dimwits we have representing us.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
It shouldn’t be that way.
It’s time for that to end.
It’s time to go back to the era of Reagan and Gingrich when conservatives were the smartest people in the room.
Face it. Palin is now, today and yesterday, the smartest in the room.
Have you ever watched Wanna be a Millionaire? A stumped contestant can ask the audience for the right answer. It's amazing how right the audience is. I have yet to see them wrong.
My friend, believe me, Sarah has the audience in her pocket. The Democrats know this, but you don't, also amazing.
If Palin is an unworthy candidate, then you won’t have nothing to fear about her being the Presidential nominee. The Presidential primaries are brutal and weed out unworthy candidates quickly. Just ask Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani.
