“We shall take this victory and make sure our politicians in office today are learning from this victory,” Ms. Palin said Monday night on Fox News, where she is a paid contributor. “It’s not a 100% pure genuine victory. We just handed the most liberal president, I believe, in U.S. history a $2.4 billion debt increase.”
I hope this will be a wake up call to Palinistas that Sarah Palin is fallible and far from perfect. She is a politician.
I’m not denigrating Sarah Palin, she is still in the top three I am considering voting for in the primary. What my point is to extreme Palin supporters is that she is NOT perfect and the “great white hope.” She is one of the best of potential candidates, but she is not without error...and is subject to error....and subject to compromising even on principles.
By all means you should vote for her, support her, but STOP worshipping her. You are setting yourself, and the party, up for sorrow. No one can live up to the hype ascribed to her. She is no “RONALD REAGAN” of legend. Goodness, even President Ronald Reagan wasn’t the legend that is “RONALD REAGAN.”
We need to look at the candidates through realistic lens and examine each closely. Like I said, Sarah is in the top three of potentials (I don’t have a choice yet) and will get my close consideration. And, even if she should not get my vote in a primary, she WOULD in a general election if she is the candidate. I’m hoping others that are GOP voters will be a little less on the scorched earth thinking....(i.e. candidate “......” or nothing.
Now moving on, I think she was making a mistake to suggest this is a “victory” for the Tea Party.....that is the current MSMs tact. They will start changing their tune when Obama signs it. They will start calling it a “great victory for the Obama administration as a great unifier.” President Obama is the winner here.
Some of you guys need to lighten up. She wasn't referring to the substance of the bill as a victory, she was merely agreeing with Greta, when Greta said: The Tea Party had an enormous victory because they did change the discussion here in Washington, and it is a little bit like trying to change the direction of an aircraft carrier, it's not easy
Sarah then went on to explain why the content isn't a victory and summarized by saying: Yes this is a victory because tea party patriots did shift the debate...
She's not abrogating her principles and what she said was exactly correct.
