I'm thinking you're being snarky, or perhaps you don't understand that the war upon America by liberals is very real, and while we sit here and post on FR, she is in the forefront of a real battle. She takes hits, we (some of us) snark.

Snark? Who, me?

My dear Mr Lakeshark, are you sure you haven't confused me with another poster?

;-)

C'mon--smile, I know you can.

I still say that many of the "hits" she takes are self-inflicted.

Whether this stems from poor advice, or not listening to good advice, I really don't know. And, to be brutally honest, I no longer care.

Our biggest threat is from inside right now, and you should understand that very real fact after the past few years. We are very close to losing our status as "that shining city on a hill", and you should stop aiming at Sarah Palin and start aiming at the libs who are running us off the hill, extinguishing all light, and running us into the ground.

I actually agree with you about the harms perpetrated by the socialist/progressive programs coming out of government (at all levels, advanced by both Dems and Republicans) in the last few years.

But, my very dear Mr Lakeshark, I am sorry to say, I simply don't see Mrs Palin as a solution.

Please do not allow that comment to spoil your day or your weekend in any way. I want you to be happy.

Humor is almost always good, and at smiling, I do just fine.

Snarking? I can compete....

:-)

As to "many" of the hits being self inflicted, I would go with "some" instead. She's got her problems, but then so do all of them, it's called the common human condition of imperfection.

There are some pretty liberal republicans, and some who have no idea why they do what they do (read, clueless), but the past two years they have been pretty darn good, particularly since they lost their collective way in some areas the 8 years before. To give the two parties total equivalence is simply silly. There are no conservative democrats and there haven't been for about a decade (not that there were so many before that), heck I'm not sure I can find a "moderate" democrat anywhere. All conservatives are republican, although not all republicans are conservative, however there are still too many of the moderate or clueless stripe.

As to Palin being "the answer", no politician is going to be the answer. As far as politicians go, she seems as good as any we have, better than most (even historically), better than any the republicans we have at the moment, and will likely be a good fit if she decides to run.

We shall see.
