I think it’s odd how people are willing to assess a candidate on what they say (however inartfully) versus what they actually have done.
Romney was a socially liberal governor. He now says he’s conservative - do we trust what he says or what his record indicates?
Huckabee was a fiscally liberal governor. He now says he’s conservative - do we trust what he says or what his record indicates?
If you answered “record” to those two, I’m not so sure Mitch’s highly awkward statements should really unwind his record as a fairly conservative governor (he’s not perfect, and his position on smoking is puzzling). But frankly, he may have the most effective, conservative gubernatorial record of all of the serious candidates that were governors. I think what he’s really saying is that he wants to focus on financial matters instead of running on wedge issues...but I will be keeping an eye on this.
Rush, Sarah, Mitch...our guys and girls don’t rely on the teleprompter so they’ll come off awkward sometimes. I think Sarah knows that SOUTH Korea are our allies, and I think Mitch isn’t suddenly going to become Giuliani 2.0 because of his goofy truce statements.
“Truce” is an inflammatory word, no matter how much Mitch tries to walk it back. There really is a culture war. The liberals have unceasingly bombarded our culture for many years. And yet WE are the ones offering a truce?
