I haven't decided who to vote for. I like Haley Barbour. I like DeMint. I may end up liking Palin if her supporters on FR would explain their positions rather than anointing her. We had “the One”; We can't afford the TWO.
BTW, I bought the complete series of “the Man from UNCLE” for my brother for Christmas. Do you think he will like it?
I respectfully submit that you will never like her. If you don’t like her now after she has been virtually the only potential candidate to call out Obama and the media then you never will. Just my humble opinion.
This makes no sense. You like Barbour and DeMint, so you spend all of your time attacking Sarah Palin? The only ones who spend their time attacking Palin are Romney associates, frauds like Frum, Noonan, Kathleen Parker, Andrew Sullivan, and the far left. Do you see any nationally recognized conservatives attacking Palin?
OK, here is why I like Sara Palin as a candidate for President, as you requested.
She is the only one of the possible candidates for the office that I feel that I can trust that what comes out of her mouth is the absolute truth as she knows it at the time. No weasel words, no spin, she lays it right down the middle, across the plate.
Does she make gaffes? Yep. Do you? I seem to average about three a day myself. But afterwords, she has a good laugh at herself, points out her misspoken mistake and goes on with her day, same as you or I would.
I like her because she appears to take the same positions as I do on any number of issues. When you see her on TV or read one of the numerous articles she puts in print, I don’t get the feeling that I’m being talked down to. There is none of this attitude that there is an issue out there that she feels I might not be sophisticated enough to fully appreciate.
I like her because she DIDN’T go to Harvard. We have one now who did and all I can say is that I’m glad my son decided to brew beer instead of going to law school. Harvard was on his short list.
I would like a President that I could understand. I understood Reagan. He didn’t speak in terms that didn’t have any meaning. The words he used were simple, direct, and powerful. Nobody misunderstood what he said and what he meant. Mrs. Palin reminds me of Mr. Reagan when she speaks, and no, I am not trying to make her into another Reagan, you only get one of those in a lifetime, if you are lucky.
I could go on at some length here, but let me close with this. I feel like I share something in common with Sara Palin, my families life and her families life are very similar in some ways. We both have to work, to provide, to protect, to prosper, to grow. I’m sure that I’m not the only one who feels this way about her.
Try overlaying your life with Romney, how’s that work? Not so much, huh. How about Newt, Huckleberry, Pence, or Barbour, how does your life compare with theirs?
Maybe I’m just not sophisticated enough to be a voter.
