” For the record, I do not have a preference for a conservative nominee. As far as I’m concerned, they’re all sub-par for various reasons “
She is inextricably tied to McCain, and is for “registration amnesty”
No sale!
Registration amnesty? Huh? There were a lot of silly things that Sarah was scripted to say as VP nominee. I don’t think that she used the goofy term “predatory lenders” since the campaign ended, for example.
There you go making sense again SJB. You nailed it.
Carry_Okie, I tend to agree with your comments too. You’ve addressed things I have said myself, with different verbiage but conveying almost the exact same thoughts.
I do have reservations about her former positions, whether they actually qualify her. I do have reservations about her being ready. I do not think she took advantage of a period of time when she could have improved her preparedness for the position. The reasons you stated seemed reasonable to me.
As for the media picking her, I am not as convinced as others that the media would be unhappy with her as president. Although she would definitely set them off at times, she’s not a rabid Conservative by any means.
She backed John McCain for re-election, one of the most Leftist people in the nation. Who are the top three enemies of Conservatism right now? If they’re on that list, John McCain has played patti-cake with them.
My point is, if they can’t have McCain, why not have the next best thing, a person that backed him and his policies to return to Washington, D.C.?
As SJB stated in his post, she is also a big fan of the register and stay put policy, another ‘not an amnesty’ amnesty.
The Leftist press isn’t going to be upset with that, I can assure you. And they won’t be upset by someone being mentored by John McCain either.
That’s my take on it.
