A Thinking Conservative

After my last post, it's easy to read me as more liberal than I am (although the unexpected agreement from the in-laws is nice), so here's another voice. My wife's former roommate's husband, a die-hard conservative, blogs about his concerns about Palin. Good stuff. Note too Becky's comment--among the best stuff I've read online in some time.

Here's my beef with Palin. It's easy to dismiss the VP candidate as irrelevant, but haven't we had 8 eight years of an angry, far-right, ideological, stubborn, gun-toting, hard-headed, stiffnecked #2? I'm just sayin'...

Another time I'll explore in more detail the hypocrisy of this past week in the McCain camp (here's a preview--the Hillary love-in that was last Friday's announcement of Palin on the ticket--what was that?!?).

Just for the record--I loved Palin's speech. She has my vote for vp. Maybe I am a gun toting wantabe.

Mom, I can see that. You're both tough Western mothers of 5, the oldest of whom was involved in a teen pregnancy (admittedly, your son was married, and your youngest doesn't have special needs). But the similarities are eerie. But I'd vote for you before Palin; at least I know you're opposed to prayer in public schools...Plus, you're my mommy.

Palin scares me to know end. Absolutely terrifies me.
