To the folks who are Sarah Palin robots, this post is not for you.
I like Sarah Palin but I seriously do not agree with everything the woman says.
Case in point. Exhibit A.
Now the smart thing will be for independents who are such a part of this Tea Party movement to, I guess, kind of start picking a party,” Palin said. “Which party reflects how that smaller, smarter government steps to be taken? Which party will best fit you? And then because the Tea Party movement is not a party, and we have a two-party system, they’re going to have to pick a party and run one or the other: ‘R’ or ‘D’.
Telling the Tea Party movement that they need to pick a party solely because we only have a two party system is ludicrous. It completely discounts the many reasons that the tea party movement exists. The tea party movement (the real one) is party neutral. So, I suppose that it’s ok to pick the lesser of two evils? Isn’t that what the McCain campaign was all about for the true grass roots conservative types who, on several occasions, denied McCain a presidential bid?
Yes.
Thinking that you absolutely must pick sides is part of the problem here.
The Democrat candidate sucks. The Republican candidate sucks.
If a tea party candidate who believes in everything I do runs, why shouldn’t I vote for them? What’s more important? Is it more important that the candidate have an R after their name or is it more important to vote for someone who actually represents me and my views?
Telling someone that they absolutely positively MUST pick sides is the problem.
I’m also afraid that the person who said that has absolutely no idea what she’s talking about.
