Almost 300 post and yet the ONLY GOP candidate FR supports is Palin. and she may not run...It would be laughable if my family’s future was not at stake. Looks like 4 more years of 0 before conservatives recognize that they ain’t a freekin’ majority. 2006, 2008 and the 2009 elections taught us nothing. God Bless US. RINOs Christie, and McDonnell won...and Hoffman...not so much. Let’s run more Hoffmans.
Yippie!
Not only do these values appeal to her base, they appeal to Middle America, to Independents and Democrats. On all these issues, Obama and the Democrats have set themselves up for a fall. Palin is on the right side of these issues and everyone knows it.
Let's see how long it takes for the GOP party hacks to get a clue. Or not.
So what are these values?
1. Energy; "Drill, baby, drill", "Exploit all the above"
2. Economy; "Stop digging the hole deeper." and unleash the private sector.
3. Healthcare; She favors competition, tort reform and waste reduction.
4. Environment; Rejects Cap and Trade. Favors environmentally sensitive development.
5. Security; Support the armed services and let them do their job. Don't lower your guard. Specifically, stand by your allies, win in Afghanistan and treat terrorists as terrorists, not citizens.
6. Israel; Build, baby, build. She supports the right of Jews to build in Judea and Samaria. She rejects Obama's racist policy of telling the Jews where they cannot live. She is a harsh critic of Ahmedinejad and his government and faults Obama for not supporting the opposition.
7. Patriotism; Patriotism is good, not bad. America is good, not bad. The Constitution must be protected and upheld.
8. Social; She supports life not "death panels", the weak including challenged children and the elderly, hard work and not entitlement, private sector charity rather then government handouts..
9. Ethics; Accountability over cronyism
Not only do these values appeal to her base, they appeal to Middle America, to Independents and Democrats. On all these issues, Obama and the Democrats have set themselves up for a fall. Palin is on the right side of these issues and everyone knows it.
The Left in America doesn't so much reject these values as it does her. In fact they ignore her message and set up straw man values for her that they can attack. The Left is struggling to brand her as a Christian fundamentalist, God forbid, an idiot, a know-nothing, a racist and anything else that has a negative connotation.
Palin is effectively galvanizing and rebranding the Conservative movement and making it her own. Who better to lead it then she. The GOP will ultimately adopt her brand and her as leader.
