And those that say "she's no Reagan" are going to be eating their tongues involuntarily!
She's no Reagan.
Consider this little nugget, which perhaps slipped past you:
Dr. Weinstein’s research shows that around $200 billion per year could be saved with legal reform. That’s real savings. That’s money that could be used to build roads, schools, or hospitals.
That merits a bit of attention: what she's saying is ... that's $200 billion that the government could use in other ways. It's still not your money.
Does Sarah Palin really mean that? Who knows -- perhaps she only meant it as a throw-away sympathy grabber.
But the thought process underlying the point was either careless (which is not Reaganesque), or deliberate (which is not conservative).
My money is on "careless." That's precisely the sort of thing that demonstrates Sarah Palin's unreadiness for the big time.
She's quite obviously trying to sound "intellectual" with pieces like this. But she needs 10 years of practice and effort to make it stick.
