The formula necessary for that to happen in every success we have ever had is to lift up a candidate who embraces and excites all three pillars of Conservatism. Fame is fleeting. Critics charge, and Conservatives vote according to the RECORD.
That is why I asked for defense based upon on the RECORD, please. This is a tried and true test.
I am interested in her ability to simply embrace the three pillars of Conservatism, and yes, this is the first problem:
As a Social Conservative, she has wonderful credentials, she is undoubtedly Pro-Life, but does not believe in a Constitutional protection of Life. That is a HUGE problem.
If you'd care to reflect upon that, and ask yourself honestly if you really want to ask the Christian Right to back away from their single, most strongly defended principle, and do you expect them to cede that ground?
Stop "feeling" for a minute and analyze the impact of that upon turnout, MSM leverage, primary leverage by a spoiler, and etc.
Conservatism, as everyone here should plainly know, is about standing upon solid, unshakable, timeless, principles. Conservatives do *not* give them up, for anyone, or for any reason. Do not assume they will do so for Sarah Palin.
You are living in your own head, Palin is a superstar to the prolife movement. Those endorsements weren’t polite “we endorse the ticket” pronouncements, the pro life movement and those spokespeople are ecstatic over Governor Palin.
The Christian Right loves Sarah Palin so go look at your own “opinions”.
