Today at work while I was browsing online I saw an interesting article on Sarah Palin. While Palin has been somewhat of an inspiring mystery to me, or perhaps even a mysterious inspiration, this article opened my eyes deeper into her soul. I felt like she was too contained during the campaign and now we can gain a grasp of her true self. In some ways it was what I hoped for out of her but was not sure would be the truth. Sarah Palin, please forgive me for losing faith in you.
Now on to what she said in the article. She said that the Republican ticket lost this election because it was too “status quo.” I knew that for months but it was relieving to hear her say it – she obviously was not able to dish out that kind of straight talk while she was running for vice president. Palin accused Bush of “souring the GOP brand.” Yeah, no kidding. After the 1994 takeover when the GOP drafted the Contract with America and we finally saw some politicians working for Americans instead of special interest groups, the GOP took a downturn for the worse. The presidency of George W. Bush has been one of big spending, big deficits and big foreign intervention which are the very things that true conservatives should oppose.
