What? You can only believe that if you're completely unfamiliar with her record of public service, which is twenty plus years on the job in the state of Alaska. Not to mention the last three years of her life, spent doggedly working to forward the conservative agenda and get Tea Party candidates elected to office.
Please give me a little credit...I'm not a libtard living under a rock...I'm entirely familiar with Gov. Plain record.
Again...for those of us who have not fallen into the Palin cult of personalty meme...
Sarah Palin is a patriotic, proven leader, fighter for conservative principles...but let's be realistic...she didn't run in any primaries or caucuses, didn't make the decision to run, didn't prove she is a capable of winning the gold ring and bring conservatism back to the White House...do I hold that against her...no way...honestly I can't blame her for not stepping into that hellhole of smears, lies, slander, and possible danger toher very life..
But comparing her resume' to Romney, not comparing their political ideology but actual life and work experiences...Romney has far more rounded and complete resume'...
Would I vote for Palin over Romney ?...every single day of the week....but she decided not to run... and by default it's Romney...
I'll never vote for a professional liberal, no matter how good his resume is. Why would any Conservative vote for someone who's skilled at being a liberal? He might be even more competent in pushing liberal causes than the bumbling fraud that occupies the oval office now. Thank about that.
Romney has decades of being a businessman and a short time as a liberal governor.
We don’t need a businessman, (what to speak of liberal R), we need a gutsy fighter who fights against corruption even if (ESPECIALLY IF) it wears an “R” pin, and holds the principles of the Constitution. Let business take care of itself.
Palin never ran a billion dollar equity capital firm, but she sure has run a family business. If you want to talk about how 'well rounded' her experience is compared to Romney's, I'd say that she beats him there, too.
Not only did she sign the front of paychecks for a long time, she and her husband honestly built an enterprise which exchanged valuable goods and services with their community, from the ground up. Romney? Not so much.
His enterprise bought and sold businesses that others put their hearts and souls in to build. He and his partners never started from scratch to build something that would one day employ others, and actually create wealth. No, they purchased all that sweat equity in the marketplace, then turned around and profited by re-selling that sweat equity to other traders.
I'm not putting Romney down for engaging in that sort of business, but it's a very different animal than the type of business the Palins built. I happen to admire and appreciate the small business model a lot more than the Wall Street trader model. I think that sort of experience prepares one a lot better to be a representative of the people, than the aloof and distant experience of buying and selling businesses.
Would I vote for Palin over Romney ?...every single day of the week.
On this, we agree. I, too, wish that she'd run this time, and think that it's a travesty of immense proportions that we're now stuck with one of the worst candidates in the field. The stars were perfectly aligned for a no-nonsense, patriotic conservative to become the next president. Even someone who was marginally conservative would have wiped the floor with Obama. Instead, we wound up with a candidate whose record in office is a sterling example of left-liberal governance.
I can't help but think that this outcome was purposely engineered by forces that have hijacked and stolen our government and the reins of power from the American people. This is not what we wanted. It's precisely counter to the natural direction and will of the people.
