Sarah Palin will be stepping down as governor of Alaska at the end of this month to begin campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination, The New York Times reported. Aides close to Palin told CNN that national media attention as well as her book deal was causing tension within the state.
The Republican Party needs to act in the best interest of its brand and nip her new national prominence in the bud.
Palin’s particular brand of vapid cultural conservatism has no place in the future of the Republican Party as this nation moves further toward accepting the equal rights of homosexuals and coming to terms with the existence of a woman’s right to choose.
Rather than a bible-thumping bimbo, the GOP requires a coolheaded, intelligent fiscal conservative to carry their standard throughout the legislative and policy debates of the next four years. Someone who can re-connect with the intellectual foundation of 20th century conservatism that cared less about what people did in their own bedrooms and more about limiting the power and scope of the government.
