I hope you’re proven right but Freepers were wrong about George W. Bush being a conservative and history could be repeating itself with Sarah Palin.
They were right about him being the 'more conservative' choice and frankly, with what we faced with, for most of his tenure, he was conservative where it mattered. As William F Buckley put it, he is conservative but he isn't A Conservative. (in other words, he is on balance more conservative on the scale but he isn't a Conservative champion).
“Freepers were wrong about George W. Bush being a conservative”
I think most of us from JR on down knew Bush was not very conservative and was definitely an elitist. it came down to not being able to swallow an Al Gore presidency.
Palin IS a conservative and She is not an elitist. I am as sure as I can be about that.
