Palin; Our Next President
Palin recently gave a speech in Hong Kong. According to the New York Times:
“She didn’t sound at all like a far-right-wing conservative. She seemed to be positioning herself as a libertarian or a small-c conservative,” he said, adding that she mentioned both Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. “She brought up both those names.”
Hell Yeah! If Palin trends towards libertarianism in her bid to be the next president, she totally has my vote. She would be the perfect antidote for all these terrible economic policies Obama may be able to push through. Four years of of Obama seems worth it if we get eight years of fiscal conservativism.
You have to admit she’s smart. Realizing she has a weakness in foreign policy she goes out into the world to give speeches.

Smart play on her part. If she spends the next few years building legitimacy, and positioning herself as opposed to the inevitable mess Obama is making, she has a real shot.

LOL!! Be serious. Sarah Palin’s 15 minutes of fame have passed. She quit the only political job she ever had, and is now releasing her memoirs…. She’ll be an after-thought in one year, let alone making it all the way to 2012. And that’s how it should be. I don’t see how any libertarian would want her over a “real” libertarian.

She’s (somewhat) electable, unlike most other libertarians.

I don’t see it… Republicans need a new brand name.

What people need and what people get are rarely the same thing.
