I don't think Hayworth is quite the perfect conservative that some make him out to be.

LOL, and Palin is the perfect conservative????

theanchoragedailyruse, remember when she was campaigning for gov up here and all the 'reach across the aisle' talk? She sounded just like McCain!

Remember the ACES tax hike and how great its been for the AK economy?

Yeah, she's the perfect conservative... My friend, if she is elected as president, a lot of people here will be singing a different tune if she follows the same path she did as governor.

Stop looking at what she has actually done, and start listening to what she says....talk is more important, yes?

Wow. How did you read all of that and still completely miss the point? Bravo!

The point is that Palin may very well not be a "perfect conservative". The point is also that there is NO SUCH THING. Not Reagan. Not Hayworth. Nobody. Get used to it and get over it.

I kept asking all my Sarahbot friends why they thought the Anchorage Daily News adored Sarah when she was Gov ( before McCain selected her). Nobody ever gave me a good answer. The reason was that Sarah was allied of the anti-republican, pro government, tax and spend democratic crowd cabal down in Juneau. The few conservatives down there were afraid to vote against her because of her huge popularity. BTW for those outside Alaska, the ADN is the Berkley Barb of the North. Yes I remember the ACES tax hike, as do some of my ex neighbors who have lost their jobs on the slope and moved out of state.
