All the “It’s too late forSarah,” people crack me up. Why is it too late for Sarah? No one said that about Perry. No one is saying Perry would be called a coward for not being in these first two sideshows they passed off as *debates*. What you have seen thus far is the battle for first among losers. And that is ALL you have seen.
The heavyweights are not among them, and the nominee is not among them.
Tonight I saw Michelle Bachmann, who I have stood back from criticizing to give her a fair shot, try to outman the men. She was too *manly* by half. Whereas Sarah Palin has never felt the need to outman the men. That is self-diminishing. And she, (MB,) struck me as someone who makes decisions in the heat of the moment. No self control. THAT bothers me.
She compared pawlenty to obama? Sure, But obama had to quit the church he belonged to for 20 years to save his POLITICAL ass, and guess what. Michelle Bachmann just did the same damn thing, only she belonged to HER church for ten years longer.
Everyone gasped and went nuts because Byron York directly quoted MB about wives bring submissive to their husbands. Well she said it. And she did what her husband wanted her to even though she didn’t want to. And as recently as several months ago, she gave an interview to an Evangelical group where she said Sarah Palin should have stayed at home with her husband and childen until all of her children had grown up and left home BEFORE she started a career. If SHE had taken her own advice, she would just now be starting her OWN career.
Add to that she has lied in my face about her finances. She comes on strong about state’s rights until it’s something she doesn’t agree with. This is a pol. AND she is a fanatic. Maybe that is the word I have been searching for all along.
She is a backstabber and a liar and I don’t trust her as far as I can throw her, and after tonight, even less.
I just posted this too...Perry coming in late should certainly give Palin a pass as well...and I liked the idea you said this debate was ..."the battle for the first among losers"....I do believe you're on to something there.
I was once told when going to a dance....say no to all those who ask first because the cream of the crop sits back to see how you're going to handle the jerks.
Sarah Palin (not by her fault)has been considered a candidate for 2012 since before 2010. These candidates (most of which I do not like) are improving their debating skills with every debate that happens. If Palin were actually running it would appear to the voters that Palin may be avoiding the debates to minimize committing gaffes.
Me, I would love to see a President Palin. Her proposals are exactly what America needs. I'd vote for her in a second.
But what concerns me is that (if she's planning on running) she's not taking advantage of the debates to get her agenda known and also to improve her debating skills.
It's kind of like the rabbit and turtle story. If you know about that, you cannot possibly disagree with me.
