Palin 2012

I think that a smoldering fire is burning for a Ronald Reagan type individual to lead the conservative party. I feel that Sara Palin will be that person, because she speaks to the people and not at them as so many politicians do. She looks like the mom at the sporting events our kids play in. She faces the challenges of an average family, yet is an active business woman and politicians. She is an example for our daughters who want to know they can have it all. People I know have made the comment they hear on TV “she’s an idiot”. Yet she helped run a small business, was appointed to an office in government and was responsible for a clean up of corruption in her state. Up until her nomination as the Vice Presidential candidate she was widely respected across the state of Alaska for her work with both political parties (until the smear campaign by the DNC). She is not as refined a speaker as some of these politicians who can sell you anything, but she will tell you what she really thinks and stand behind it. Ronald Reagan was great because of several things, one of which is that he really believed in what he said. He did not say things just to be popular; he had a long history of taking stances on important issues. He spoke to the common man about America and the American dream, just like Sara Palin does. He led his state through tough times and Sara Palin is currently leading her state during this recession. Ronald Reagan was demonized by the media and the left wing establishment and Sara Palin is dealing with the same. Yes there is a future Ronald Reagan in the conservative party and it’s Sara Palin. I just hope that we in the conservative party can help her build her strength and show her the support as she develops that next level of maturity in being the candidate for president in 2012.
