Folks, don’t pile on to Pawlenty for being late. (Even though he is.) People who come out on the right side need to be encouraged, even if they’re late to the party. If we bash someone for doing the right thing, what message does that send?
Sarah did not need to be encouraged to do the right thing. As I said before, what’s to decide? Does he have to take a poll or get someone’s permission to back the conservative? Who wants that kind of decision making in a leader?
I noticed yesterday he didn’t even know about NY 23. The guy has the political nose of beached Walrus.
Even if those people would like to be our leaders?
Now, I only served 8 years in the military, but I seem to recall that people in leadership positions need to LEAD, not EVENTUALLY FOLLOW.
If this was your next-door neighbor that finally figured out that The One isn't really going to pay his mortgage and he's considering voting for a conservative next time, then yeah, let's welcome Mr. Next-Door Better Late Than Stupid.
But when it comes to someone that one hears being mentioned as a candidate for President of the United States then no, he needs to be beaten up in the media until he goes back home and stays there.
what message does that send?
It send the message that if you have presidential asperations...LEAD NOT FOLLOW.
exactly........
