If principles do not guide politicians, SELF INTEREST will.
That's why I want principled leadership - not squishy, rudderless moderates.

Oh, it is. But that doesn't mean I have to leave you there.

As for the whole "moderate" and "reaching across the aisle" thing, let me ask you this question:
If we do not demand that politicians be guided by principles, then what do you think will guide them?

FYI - I don't have disdain for middle of the road people. Have disdain for people who CLAIM to be middle of the road and then spout ridiculous democrat talking points as "fact".
If someone is genuinely open minded about an issue, I always try to steer them down the right path. But I have less respect for those clearly just claiming to be open minded than I do for honest to God open liberals.
(And for the record, just TRY to get most of the golo liberals to admit they a liberals. They'll claim to be "moderate", or "fiscally conservative but socially liberal", or a "Goldwater republican" or a "McCain supporter until he picked Palin".)
I'm a conservative. I have my ideas and they are welcome to come and try to take me on. But the fact that almost everything they say is a lie should tell you who we are dealing with.
Off to work.

I have to admit, there are things about her that give me pause. But one thing is clear - she is certainly the only person who truly means it when they say they want to cut gov't spending. And she is almost certainly the only republican front-runner who absolutely would do it.
Personally, that's good enough for me.

I have to admit, when she resigned, I winced and bought in to the conventional wisdom that she was toast. But as time has gone on, I've recognized the wisdom of the move.
Something like 40 frivolous ethics complaints had been filed against her. She had shelled out a half million dollars in legal fees defending them. If she had stayed governor, it only would have continued. She would have left office broke and wounded.
She would not have been able to write a book, and go on tour. She would have had little to no contact with the lower 48 states. She would have abdicated her position as a mover in the GOP.
Now she is on every TV in the country, her book is in every bookstore in the country. Her face is everywhere. Instead of losing her position, she is gathering power.
