Not at all awaiting the conservative messiah: I cited valid options of much better speakers and greater minds (Michele Bachman, Jim DeMint and Mike Rogers).
I just realized a simplistic football analogy that sums up Palin:
Palin is indeed a good CHEERLEADER for the conservative cause, but would we want her as QUARTERBACK?
My answer is “No” there are far better conservative quarterback candidates.
How about a DeMint/Bachman ticket?
No one is stopping them.
In my opinion, true leaders come up from and through the ranks having weathered the selection process, having built and established political consensus to lead based upon the people directly providing the consensus rather than the leaders we have seen recently that step out from behind closed doors as anointed by a party with a complete disconnect from the people they should really be beholden to. We see this with McCain and Romney to name a few...
What is So refreshing about Palin is not that she is a cheerleader as the leftist would like to portray her --IT is that she took the "playing field" out from behind closed doors and opened up the stadium to all comers...
Cheerleader my *ss! --She put the field back on the map!
I think you truly miss the forset for the tress as to what she represents, symbolizes and embodies -precisely what the tea party is all about...
TAKING OUR COUNTRY BACK!
