“You can judge a man by the company he keeps.”
This is true of 0bama, and it is rue of Eric Cantor.

I became skeptical of him when he worked with House GOP leadership to push through the bailout crap sandwich, and now his alliance with McCain codifies it.

Sarah Palin is only tarnishing herself by associating herself with this.

This leaves Newt Gingrich as our only hope.

As I mentioned in another post on this thread, Sarah is a conservative voice. A voice that NEEDS to be heard in this so-called "re-branding". Additionally, Sarah will need to do battle with the RINOs before she gets to the ring to battle the Rats.

IOW:

She's in the playoffs now. A wild card spot perhaps, but she's in the game, and she'll have to beat all the others in her conference before she wins the right to go to the Super Bowl.

Newt would jump on this bandwagon too if he could.

The problem is that we jump the gun on these efforts and assume the worst, rather than taking a more reasonable 'wait and see, give it chance' view. We need to STOP ASSUMING THIS IS A BAD THING, and further assuming that associating with this - even if it doesnt pan out well - is somehow a sign of a bad leader. Actually GOOD leaders try to work with others and try to reach out to the people.

Let them have their townhalls and whatever and see what message they are giving and receiving BEFORE we assume the worst.

Their message on energy is to say NO TO CAP-AND-TRADE. Good message. Maybe even McCain can listen and get on board that.
