[Servant of the Cross]

Good grief. 9YearLurker puts it well about the voters (independents and squishy-er GOPers) that Sarah Palin will also need to appeal to ... (upthread)

The reality-TV aspect of her personality and her folksy off-the-cuff speaking style do seem to me to be parts of who she is, peccadilloes such as anyone or any leader has. They endear her to some and put others off, but they are peripheral as to who she would be as a president.

Okay. For the record, Sarah Palin is my first choice currently (although 'what if' she doesn't run?) with Herman Cain a close second. I have posted consistently very positively about Sarah Palin. I agree that she did not quit, that she decided to attack in a different direction.

Sarah Palin, following her resignation: This is not the face of a 'quitter'. Look out libs!

Btw, you only prove my point that too many posts at FR are overtly thin-skinned about any perceived 'criticism' of Sarah Palin.(even if it may actually be a 'grudging' acknowledgment that Sarah's chosen path may be the right one and better than what the 'conventional wisdom')

No, it doesn't prove any point. First of all, it was not her chosen path. You out yourself with your owns words or too clueless to 'get it'.

Whose conventional wisdom - the MSM and the elitists? A LEADER is unconventional - not a follower of the pack.

And your 'thin skinned' intimidation label tactic is a tool of the 'angel of light'.

That's ALOT of back tracking on a thread where your posts say.....

With regard to Sarah Palin, I see two common types of posts (neither being 'good' IMHO): 1) she can do no wrong and is our ONLY hope (um, no)

That's positive, I call it 'an agenda'. And SARAH is the ONLY HOPE for this country - but not for the rino and commie camp! So much for your 'um no'!

Defending this manipulated article with You paint NRO with too broad a brush - Andy McCarthy, Jay Nordlinger are conservatives through and through. Since when is manipulation of FACTS considered 'conservative'?

I believe that Cain, DeMint, West, Bachmann are equally capable of being a POTUS that conservatives would love.

Conservative aren't looking to fall in love - we are looking for a PATRIOT; a PROVEN FIGHTER; a PROVEN LEADER with PROVEN ACCOMPLISHMENTS! Another fail on your agenda.

CHOSEN?? Agreeing with this manipulated article that she quit to follow her chosen path along - with all it's other and 'reality star' innuendos? Perceived criticism - you think conservatives don't know criticism and the MSM talking points when we read them? When we counteract these types of lies conservatives are considered THIN SKINNED by you. Liberalism with it's labels - another known tactic.

Now that I expose you - you back track and say you post positively about SARAH and agree she didn't quit? What happened to CHOSEN and CONVENTIONAL WISDOM? Your little 'I like Sarah' and bombs doesn't cover your very apparent TROLLISH BEHAVIOR.
