After reading my blog (obviously) and considering what I've had to say, Mrs. Sarah Palin has decided not to run for President or so her statement to the Mark Levin Show said today. As I've stated before, I admire her so much and unfortunately find myself at odds with many of her supporters and even her at some instances. Now that Mrs. Palin has decided not to run for office and will not be, in my own words, stealing the microphone from other candidates who have the Constitution truly at heart, she has many options in front of her.
Love her, hate her or don't care about her, Sarah Palin is a force to be reckoned with. Let's hope she devotes her time and energy into sending the right message to Americans and throws her support behind the right candidate and not just another one of the same political scarecrows we've seen for the past few decades.
While the ex-Governor has some friends in very high places and ran as Senator John McCain's Vice-President on their Republican ticket in 2008, I still view Sarah Palin as somebody who is on the outside of Washington just enough to appeal to people like me who are very skeptical of any and all power. However, she still seems to take much of her fact from the same media that most Americans and all politicians do. The media that is biased, divisive and dishonest. The media that has something invested in appealing to a certain audience and widening the chasm we see between the left and right in America today.
Hopefully within the coming months and years we will see Mrs. Palin open her eyes and focus, not just on being a Conservative who thinks Fox News is the only honest media outlet, but somebody who puts the Constitution before the partisan banter we hear every single day coming from every direction. While today she maintains the aura of a Fox News, pseudo-establishment Conservative-Republican, I believe that Sarah Palin has the potential to grow into a Constitutionalist or potentially even a libertarian: Somebody who puts the natural liberties of all humans before those of other humans and most certainly before those of the public and private sectors. A politician who remembers that people come first, well before the banks, the corporations, the government and the military industrial complex.
With any luck, Mrs. Palin might just throw her weight behind Congressman Paul or Governor Johnson. Now wouldn't that be a game-changer?
