Sarah Palin is 2008 "Conservative of the Year".

Apparently Sarah Palin has been named "Conservative of the Year". Which of course once again beggars the question; Just what is a "conservative" these days?

Alaska, which is known for taking HUGE government handouts in the form of earmarks, and for giving its citizens a dividend once a year from interest earned on invested oil money, seems an odd choice for true conservatives to use as an example of capitalistic ideals.

And of course Sarah Palin herself gave each Alaskan a rebate of $1200, just as she began her run for the office of Vice President (coincidence?), which you imagine would disqualify her from being considered a "conservative". However it seems that the term "conservatism" has been shanghaied by the social conservatives, who focus exclusively on keeping gays from getting married, keeping sex education out of our public schools, and denying women the right to terminate a pregnancy. And for that type of "conservative" Sarah seems the perfect choice.

However it did not seem to be enough for the McCain campaign to stop the juggernaut that was Barack Obama. Hmmm I wonder what Palin believes was the reason for that?

GIZZI: What was the biggest mistake made in the ’08 campaign?

PALIN: The biggest mistake made was that I could have called more shots on this: the opportunities that were not seized to speak to more Americans via media. I was not allowed to do very many interviews, and the interviews that I did were not necessarily those I would have chosen. But I was so thankful to have the opportunity to run with John McCain that I was not going to argue with the strategy decisions that some of his people were making regarding the media contacts.But if I would have been in charge, I would have wanted to speak to more reporters because that’s how you get your message out to the electorate.

So the biggest mistake the McCain campaign made was NOT allowing Palin to give more interviews like this?


And this?


Oh yeah. It should be obvious to ANYONE that the biggest mistake was not allowing Palin to do MORE interviews. And I think that in the future, should she decide to run for national office again, that our Governor should just do interview after interview until the American people are dumbed down into a state of intellectual lethargy and simply vote for her to get her to STOP TALKING!

Whenever somebody comes onto this site or any other site to defend Sarah Palin and tell us how wonderful she is, I always ask myself "did this person ever actually see her speak"? Because if they did, and still want her to lead this country, I seriously believe they may need to get their medication adjusted without delay.

And do you know the truly scary part? She is STILL in charge of my state! Stephen King himself could not have imagined a more frightening scenario!

Do they even sell Barack Obama nightlights? Because I think I am going to need one.
