Purchased??????? I cant stand Obama and I love palin. I do feel she is NOT electable right now. Unless something changes and really fast it just will not work though I love her and what she stands for. Mac we cant win without the indpendents, they won the election for obama. This crowd will not vote for her. She could surprise me and I hope she does because I do like her...
YEP in this fact... "purchased with news reports that she is not electable". Those time slots cost money. Popular talking / political media heads / articulate academia that instantly throw her under the bus - yet she just will not tumble under for some reason. ( Including left center Republicans that want OUR Christian values wing of the party to sit down and be quiet and vote as told). Thousands arrive to see her at every stop. Does the Huckster have that type of a firebrand? Nadda.
When the media makes you.. the media can destroy him.
The independents ( and even DEMOCRATS ) have proven once the values of America are properly articulated ie; constrained vs the unconstrained vision of the world lean a clear majority to the right. Our problem is that we have the majority worldview (because the liberals have to hide true agendas).. yet we continue to act and send up canidates that don't fully represent those values and thus we lose because the base isn't energized. [ Enter John McCain example ]
My message is.. Don't seek approval / inclusiveness and set yourself below where your gut and goals tell you.
Again, like yourself. I'll vote for the Huckster instantly against Obama... but do I think he will WIN in 2012? Nadda.
Notice how already he's taking the middle road... not talking as tough as he was. Political posturing when all he has to do is stand on core constrained principles and articulate them.
