Ps… you do realize this is a blog right? T Christopher’s not running for office any time soon… and if he was it would have no impact on this site and you wouldn’t hear about it here… Get a grip. I said not one negative thing about Sarah Palin in that entire post. Yes, I left out Rush Limbaugh – not a slip – simply a stream of consciousness rant about a topic posed by someone else. You can include him, exclude him… whatever you like. My positions and or beliefs are not based upon or impacted by anyone in this world – politically speaking – so I could give a damn what Limbaugh, Levin, Beck, Hannity, fill in the blank think about what I have to say. My respective levels of respect for those men vary, but none of them – NONE of them shape my political views. They simply offer political commentary that I typically agree with – in the same fashion but unlike in agreement – as those in the mainstream media.

B Daniel I am sorry I offended you with my ramblings. I am sincerely sorry for wasting your time at my site. I apologize for referencing Sarah Palin more than once in a month and for not speaking favorably of her on every occasion. I love that you overlook every aspect of this piece that was in jest. I laughed hysterically when you called it an “editorial” rather than a response to a question posed/ position presented at another blog. I really appreciated it when you said you didn’t care what “T Christopher thought about Sarah Palin” but then wrote 14 paragraphs at my site telling me about it. Who am I at the end of the day but a humble blogger in a world of bloggers? Who am I to ramble about the world of politics when there are so many out there like you B Daniel bringing forth change on a daily basis with your contributions to the great nation that we now both write about. God Bless you B Daniel. I hope you have done something to better your country today. If not, you’re just an asshole.

Gee how many times now in the past couple of months has this blog site raised an editorial on Sarah Palin? And always with an obligatory declaration early on in the piece which goes, “…well gee sorry folks if you are fans of her’s — I’m not.”

You have you not made that point many times now? I get it.

But do I care one bit that T. Christopher does not support Governor Palin? No, not much really (in case you were wondering).

Her accomplishments are many and they are significant ones too, she is a natural leader. Are you?

Quote: “The only people in this great nation that can directly impact our nation’s economic future (positively) are the American people themselves.

That is true, and Sarah Palin makes more of a positive impact on “the American people” helping see the mess we are in and helping lead them to responsible actions to address it every day than this blog site will accomplish in 10 years.

Quote: “They need to be reminded that our federal government was never intended to do even a fraction of what it does by personally granted mandate in the current hour – not blinded to that reality by bumper stickers and campaign slogans.”

Actually is that not one of Palin’s main messages? Doesn’t she remind folks constantly about the inappropriate power grabs and unsustainable size the federal government…oh, just about EVERY SINGLE time she speaks publicly — that I’ve heard anyway. (in case you weren’t listening).

Quote: “In fact, my disdain for Gov Palin comes from the very fact that she’s the queen of offering up exactly what I want to hear.”

Really? That does not sound like a very good (or logical) reason to show “disdain” for someone — because the person happens to agree with you?

If there is some POINT to this blog page? Other than telling everyone (again) you don’t support Governor Palin? If so I missed it. — Sorry.

“She can no more impact our nation’s economy than can Beck, Hannity, Coulter, or my seven year old nephew for that matter; but in the spirit of this “debate” I will forge ahead nonetheless and play along.”

Beck, Hannity, Coulter, all reduced the impact of a 7 year old child? Now that’s news to me — a lot of advertiser are wasting a lot of money then. Why didn’t you include Rush in that then too? Hummmm, cat get your tongue?

Let me spell it out for you. Palin as well as Beck, Hannity, Coulter, Levin, Limbaugh et al. have large listening audiences — these would be the AMERICAN PEOPLE. They educate the folks. The so informed and educated American citizens then are inspired to vote for responsible government officials and this, in turn, influences our nation’s policies, the size of the federal government and also impacts our economy. So, I say that they ARE more influential than your nephew after all!

Fine point Mr. Heffernan. As always, you certainly did not disappoint. Somewhere lost in my frustration with Russ’s question, I think that was my general message. Ignoring the fact that we only had a brief glimpse of “governor Palin” because of her untimely departure, I think it is lost on many that she has yet to declare an intention to be anything but what she currently is. She has never been in a position to impact national policy and as far as I can tell… she has no intention of trying to do so. I think the more sensible debate would focus on whether or not she could have any measurable success if she decided to do so.

You spelled out your case quite well, Sir, but I think everyone overlooked something so plainly obvious that it didn't get seen by anyone. Ms. Palin ran for Vice President and at most would only be empowered in that position to have cast a deciding vote in the Senate between popping out to this funeral or that which our hypothetical President McCain would choose not to attend. I think the odds of her ever being a major figure in American politics range from Slim to None, and Slim is probably off in Montana herding cattle. Patrick Heffernan A Proud Texas Conservative!
