I was a little surprised when I heard that come out of her mouth. I love Sarah (See my tagline), but, stuff like that makes people feel like she does not have the “Social Graces” to be President.

I prefer this to Ford/Carter/Dole style restraint.

Reagan was able to make his points without being coarse (usually), but we do have a more primitive body politic these days. Successful communication to this electorate I think requires that statements be blunt, short and memorable.

I preferred reading William F. Buckley in the old National Review, but both are gone. If we will ever see such days again, we must win the present trenchfight by any means which are effective.

Even the deepthinking Wm F Buckley once told Gore Vidal on television, “Shut up you G__d_____ queer, or I’ll punch you right in the face!”
