Sara Palin

Let me start by saying that I am no longer a big fan of Sara Palin. But this whole mess over the fact that she wrote a few words as prompts to remember things in her speech, is ridiculous! All of the dinosaur media ran with it, putting it on the front page of the papers, on the cover of the magazines, and to what end? Conservatives won't roast her, and the people in the Tea Party Movement will just find it endearing. It makes her one of the regular folks even more than before, because who of us didn't write something on our palm that we needed to remember? And comparing it to Obama's use of the Tele-Prompter is insane...she had four or five words, not the entire speech, as he does. Maybe she isn't all that polished, but that also helps her. My suggestion to the Progressives is to lay off, or you will continue to make her look good to most of the people in the country. But luckily, I know that you are incapable of leaving her alone, just because she's a strong, independant Conservative, and proud of it, and you can't understand her at all. Therefore, you have to attack her--you who are so tolerant, and inclusive.

I used to be a big fan of Sara's, but that changed somewhat when she again started campaining for John McCain. I consider McCain to be a R.I.N.O.--Republican In Name Only, for those of you who don't know that. He is far too willing to compromise and cross the aisle to the Dem.'s side, and some of the things that he has been a major sponsor of have done far  more harm to the cause of Conservatism than a lot of Democrats themselves. I commend his never taking earmarks, and I thank and honor him for his service to this country. But I would very much like to see him replaced when next he is up for re-election in November. Probably won't happen. Still...it could happen. Anyway, when Sara started working to get him re-elected, I lost some of the respect that I had for her. I still think she is an important piece of the Tea Party Movement, but that is about the extent of her influence on me. 

Happy Wednesday! See you later.
