Sarah Palin - The Conservative Answer For Change In Modern Politics?

44

By Ben Bush

With the addition of Sarah Palin to the Presidential Campaign picture, many are now motivated to take part, even if that means nothing more than intently watching the outcome. Conservatives, especially Christians, are really the group receiving an emotional boost, because John McCain was too liberal for them. So the record and beliefs of Sarah Palin have been broadcast, discussed and debated since her introduction. Her freshness has definitely been welcomed by many.

But I can't help but wonder if she will have any impact on national politics. I ask this not because of any perceived defect in her personally or politically. I ask simply because of the lack of past examples of any other conservatives making a true impact. In other words, what was changed by their presence. And was that change good for the People of God? If so, how? Your thoughts are welcome.

Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingrich and Pat Robertson all made a difference. As a gay man said electing Democrats is good for gays. Electing conservatives is good for Christians.

Steve,

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

Per my article, "What were the changes brought about by R.R. - N.G. & Pat Robertson?" and were they good for God's people? How?

As for Democrats being good for Homosexuals. George W. Bush has been the best friend the homosexuals have ever seen.

I think Palin needs to move into the national limelight: move to the lower 48, start raising money, build a team of effective assistants, write some books and articles, do the think tank circuit, etc. Can she win in 2012? I don't know. She probably has the best chance of any conservative out there. But she should move none-the-less. A lesson from history: had there been no Barry Goldwater in 1964, there would have been no Phyllis Schlafly and no Ronald Reagan. Goldwater did miserably in the 1964 election. At the end of the day, he couldn't carry the conservative message. However, he was a catalyst for others that would.
