The lapdog media damages every non-leftist it can. She has been damaged by them, I think it would be foolish and unwise of me to say otherwise. The governance of this land of ours is too important an issue to turn it into a a high school popularity contest…with cliques and factions spreading rumors and innuendos and cementing puerile notions of unworthiness upon those who “won’t take a stand” with me. I want to try to avoid that, it makes my arguments weaker when I do so.
Frankly, attacking folks who generally tend to agree with me because they don’t ALWAYS agree with me, is asinine and counterproductive. I can disagree with friends, but I don’t have to be a jerk about it. That’s what leftists do, I truly don’t wish to emulate them.
What does the country need? I think Mitch Daniels brings much to the table right now for what I see as the most pressing needs. (Paul Ryan, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio and Bobbie Jindal do as well,…but I think they are not “placed” properly to lead from the top, as valuable as they are in huge supporting roles currently)
We are at a fiscal Armageddon crossroads. We need someone who can match cerebral leftist BS with an analytical scalpel…and shred it, expose it and make it look as ridiculous as it truly is.
Sarah Palin is a wonderful galvanizing force for the salt of the earth Everyman, John Q. Public, Joe Sixpack, the best the country has to offer…on either side of the fence. That makes her powerful…of great utility. I just don’t think she is “placed”, (exactly the same rationale I use for others I truly value above), to lead from the top position.
This time, we need a masterful analytical mind, McCain got blistered in that arena. (if we were running against Joe Biden this would be entirely different)
That’s what I think we need and why I think we need it…who best fills that role (Pawlenty, Daniels, Thune, someone else, whomever), is not a slam on Sarah, her background, skills, experience or value to the Party.
Losing in 2012 could be a disaster of Biblical proportions. We have to get this one right. And the willingness to do this in a team mental framework, everyone using their highest and best use skills, is imperative…even if that means that they have to be “role players”, instead of getting “star billing”.
Exposing the fraud of stealth socialism and the damage it is doing is job one.
