> Sarah Palin is a great American. She stands for the Right things....she has yet to prove she can articulate and convince folks of them.
Spot on.
> Whenever she speaks in the future it will be in the shadow of that disorderly political pull out. People are going to say, “Why should we listen to someone who couldn’t take the heat”?
This is what worries me. Sarah quit during a partial term as Governor for the 47th least populous state in the union. She has basically torpedoed any chance of running for office in her home state, and any run for national office will have people looking at her resume.
Which is looking as thin as Zer0’s right now, honestly.
Now, if Sarah’s going for the pundit route, she will be able to do that handily. Who knows, maybe that’s where she prefers to be! Maybe it would be a better fit for her and her family. But she has damaged herself politically, and for this I am very sad. Because Sarah is a Reagan in the rough.
Would I be happy to be proven wrong about Sarah’s political future? You bet I would. But to me it doesn’t look good, folks.
I would have wanted a Governor Palin or a Senator Palin - not an ex Governor Palin to carry the ball in the future. Sounds too much like Romney's status for my liking.
Basically I would have liked her to be a rip roaring VERY VOCAL very Beautiful, gun toting Bible clinging very physically fit Governor from Alaska..............................................................the Biggest State, one of the most Important States, an Energy Vital State, a Strategically Located State, a financially secure State. She would have had all of these Credentials.
Instead she will be a rip roaring very vocal Governor... ...who quit, in the middle of the job, to do something else, that would help America more.
Time will tell.
but the worst thing about what Sarah Palin has done is that
it does NOT ESTABLISH A GOOD PRECEDENCE.
Otherwise our folks will start running away from public office at the first sign of some easily constructed left wing frivolous crap, with the excuse that Palin did it so it must be the RIGHT OK thing to do!
Hell, what happens when they hit you with real serious charges? Argentinian Appalachian Trail Adventure?
I mean Reagan was shot in his left armpit, the bullet grazing a rib and lodging in his lung! stopping nearly an inch from his heart! AT THE AGE OF 70! SEVENTY... and he didn't quit, didn't resign or vacation or any other kind of crap. He continued SEVEN MORE YEARS.
HE SHOWED LEADERSHIP based on HONOR COURAGE AND COMMITMENT......its time we again start clinging to those things as well.
