You a fan of Sarah Palin? Why? Well, I'm NOT. To me, she has political instincts -- and that is NOT a virtue!
Look at her "Bridge to Nowhere" experience. She was for it before she was against it. She campaigned for governor with a selling point of her support for the Bridge.
Once the Bridge became a national outrage of BIG government wasteful spending, Palin followed her political instincts, read which way the political winds were blowing and flip-flopped.
To make matters worse, she followed more political instincts and tried to have it both ways. She made a BIG production out of killing the Bridge but accepted the earmark money for the Bridge and applied it to other projects -- that's the same kind of double-talk as seen in my previous Post, "I'm not going to criticize Obama, but...."
Palin is just another politician, repeating the same ol' tired clichés when it suits her purpose of stroking her own ego -- getting cheers from a crowd, getting more Facebook friends, winning elections for others, appearing on TV, being a 'player.' Another politician is the last thing we need.
It is true: She will NOT be elected President -- neither will Newt Gingrich, by the way, for the same reason of being a politician. But we do not need her or other political windbags in the national debate.
This can fairly be called dumping on Sarah Palin! :p
