Sounds to me that it’s not about conservatism for some Palin supporters because their girl can’t ever be wrong. And she is very wrong on this one. Hatch has been a target for conservatives for years and now when we have a shot to take him out Palin gives him cover and her fans try to sell us he isn’t the problem. I’m not running around deflecting blame from Perry on amnesty. I even said if tht’s your #1 issue vote for Bachmann. She’s dead wrong on this one and deserves to be called on it as they all do when they screw up on an issue. They are politicians and they do not deserve worship.
Two of these “conservative” talk show celebrities by the way, go all weak in the knees over Romney- the person with arguably the most flawed conservative credentials in the field of candidates. So I seriously question their motivations and opinions on anything conservative.
Not sure what Sarah said about Hatch, but if she backs him, then, in my view, she is wrong. Out with the old, in with the new. We need to turn the whole thing over. Now. Before it’s too late. And I am a big Sarah supporter.
The media did not understand the 2010 election. Okay, expected. The dems did not understand the 2010 election. Again, expected. But doggone it, the Republican Party did not understand the 2010 election either! And this must not stand.
No more Dole nominees. No more McCain nominees. No more Bush presidencies. We don’t need Republican Party nominees. We need American Conservative nominees.
Wrong about one? She didn’t endorse Hatch. She just replied to what Greta asked her about him. I doubt she’d given one instant of thought to him.
I think Greta gets along with Hatch, he’s been on her show a bunch of times. Greta also gets along with Gov Palin so she probably figured she’d frame a question in such a way to have her say something nice about Hatch that might help him out since he is somewhat under fire.
So she brings him up to her and asks her to respond. If you notice Gov Palin first said that it wasn’t a big deal and that things like that(being criticized) will always happen. Then she just repeated the BBA stuff that Greta had brought up.
True, she didn’t come out against him or anything, but she didn’t endorse him either. She just said some fairly bland words of support for his efforts to get a balanced budget amendment. No big deal.
Should she have said “well, Greta, I’m not really going to get involved in what’s happening in Utah right now, there are more iomportant issues”. Probably. But people are really blowing this up.
