Sarah Palin vs Ronald ...

On Ronald Reagan’s 100th birthday the most outspoken voice in favor of him, and against the Obama administration, is Sarah Palin. Using this opportunity to insist that the White House is mishandling Egypt and the protesters can’t be trusted we can presume that Mrs Palin would rather bomb them because she has not once stated her actual position on this matter.

Though some may not have been aligned with Ronald Reagan’s Conservative principals, one thing most can agree on is that he was very diplomatic when speaking to both the American people and abroad. He did not chastise half of the country with a wagging finger and a glaring brow beating, he welcomed their opposition and called for open political dialogue.

“Tear down this wall” to unify a divided Germany  is the polar opposite of “Blood Libel” to create a divide the United States. Mr Reagan had an eloquent way of speaking and a drive to bring people together, was he a friend to the rich and an enemy to the poor? Many say yes, but as with any polarizing president he was likable, personable and friendly, none of which are characteristics that Sarah Palin even remotely possesses.

Ronald Reagan would appear on and regularly have open discussion/debate with the media, even if they disagreed with him and his positions. He did not have Fox News to hide behind nor did he need it because he was well educated on his positions and didn’t need talking points written in his palm.

One can only imagine Conservatives feel about having their icon besmirched in every way possible by a dim witted Sarah Palin. It’s a party where they are great about sticking to their message, even if it’s just “NO”, if they do not start floating a candidate whose negatives aren’t peaking higher than GW’s, their chances of a victory in 2012 are zip.
