"We've got to be assured we have enough people in the party who will live out those ideals and it's not just rhetoric. Otherwise, I'd be wasting my time. There are a lot of things I would and should be doing."<BR/><BR/>That's the sound of an actual conservative within the Republican party. That is exactly what I want from a candidate - her weaknesses, and they are real, pale in importance to that sense of principle. The rest is a matter of learning and proving herself, she'll do that.Ronsonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084095209525920755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-9680117982807213212008-10-19T09:20:00.000-04:002008-10-19T09:20:00.000-04:00What is it with the KiddieCorps thing, anyway?What is it with the KiddieCorps thing, anyway?Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-3131049758128990362008-10-19T08:58:00.000-04:002008-10-19T08:58:00.000-04:00If, on the day her selection was announced in Ohio...<I>If, on the day her selection was announced in Ohio, they would have put her into an impromptu half-hour press conference, then the "beat" reporters covering the campaign wouldn't have had time to prepare "gotcha" questions, and the pundits wouldn't have been able to claim the campaign was "hiding" Palin.<BR/></I><BR/><BR/>You mean cunning traps like can you name any SCOTUS decision or newspaper you read ?<BR/><BR/>You think the problem with this was that she was given too little exposure to the press and that this gave reporters too much time to come up with real challenging questions like those eh.<BR/><BR/>Well, nobody can accuse you of being honest with yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
