Well because Sarah Palin is not Chris Christie she needs to make the decision yesterday.
The question I would have for Bill Kristol is: Is Chris Christie a conservative?
Why should we let the MSM and political elites choose our candidate?
I disagree with Sarah Palin: Citizen Palin could not have made the changes in Alaska Governor Palin sure could and did.
Citizen Palin would be infinitely less effective than President Palin in making the necessary changes.
“Citizen Palin would be infinitely less effective than President Palin...”
Sarah and I seem to have mostly similar policy positions, but her personality is starting to bug me.
In politics, titles empower.
It’s the mind which shackles.
Constantly reminding people about how rogue-y and maverick-y she views herself does not help her cause in my mind. Her ex, McCain, has done the same for decades.
Doers do things. And leave the judging of style to the observer of things done. And undone.
I’m not entirely clear on when roguish behavior became a virtue or accomplishment in and of itself. But I’ve seen the videos of when an elephant goes rogue. Lots of stuff happens. None of it good.
The rogue-iest mom in Wasilla might stomp on an occasional zoo keeper, but she ain’t gonna veto an increase in my taxes. While even the most traditional/insider/establishment/shackle-y titled Republican candidates have promised that and much more.
Primary season is the time when we encourage CANDIDATES to behave differently than incumbents. You got a new idea? Get up on the dang stage with the rest of the mavericks and mavens and let’s hear your pitch. If you or your ideas can’t stand the competition then, go ahead, start crashing through huts and squishing villagers. Reality TV always has room for another rogue.
