I was being sarcastic, he just gave his opinion.
“In other words, according to him, Sarah needs to just NOT be herself.”
You got that message too, eh? These guys just don’t get it - when she was giving her speech at the convention, I turned to my wife and said, “She’s US!” She got my vote - McCain just happened to be in the line of voting fire...
Colonel, USAFR
I think Hillary Clinton would rather be Sarah Palin right now.
Only 18 months ago, everyone on Planet Earth was convinced Ms. Clinton would become the 44th President of the United States. Now she is political pond scum.
Everyone is now saying Palin is finished. We shall see.
Prematurely plucked?
When is a politician deemed ‘ripe’?
Is there a chart we can follow?
Oh get off your RDS. If Romney had gotten the nomination and had been elected, you can bet our country would be in much shape then it is with that arrogant lying pos we have in the People’s House. And just to piss you off. he will get my vote if he runs in 2012 and so will Sarah if she runs
However what Cal Thomas said rubs the wrong way, I think he makes this valid point: Sarah Palin needs to grow as a statesman. And she knows this. And she plans on doing just that. She was a sitting duck in the governor’s office. Now she’s a moving target. And she moves fabulously! She will now be nimbly able to simultaneously get current on all pertinent issues, become the power center in terms of influence, fundraising and campaigning that would make the RNC drool with envy and expose the legacy media for the fools that they are.
It took a bit of time to grow the Ronald Reagan that we came to know. Sarah will benefit from the process. As will we!
Gems are created by exposing elements to intense heat and pressure.
Sarah is a gem that no pundit has a tool with which to shape her as they would, and as a result, she gets even more pressure and heat than most gems.
Bang away media.. at your own peril.
I need to send Ole Cal there a bill for the time I wasted reading this leftist Crapola of his.
You must have missed this part, this is exactly what he suggested.
Instead, she might follow Ronald Reagan's example and deliver a daily radio commentary.
The assumption being, the recipe was for a souffle. But maybe it was just for a good solid omelette prepared ranch-style. And there is nothing wrong with that.
Sarah is what Sarah is, and needs make no compromise with life. For that would be the worst of mischief, that she should conform to the image that the arbitrators of taste dictate for “women of a certain age”. Sarah will NEVER be a “woman of a certain age”, even though she may be a grandmother.
May she go on big game hunts for years to come, and cheerfully gut fish freshly pulled from the sea. Skills learned on the basketball court have served her well since then, and she is still much quicker of mind and spirit than almost all of her detractors.
Think leering Dave Letterman. He STILL burns.
Yes, I also—as in like him—think she’d be better off doing radio than tv. I agree with him on that point!
My opinon is that she needs to stay away from the 0bama networks
I don't give a flying frig how you vote, Romneyite.
Thank you for posting this, Kaslin.
Ol’ Cal. Senile, over-the-hill, useless. It must suck to be him.
You might not agree with him but he’s been quite good
Cal. You're sounding like a beltway insider. I'm disappointed in you.
Typical Washington snobs. This was the exact same attitude towards Reagan in the 1970s. Exactly!
Truth Bump!
