Mike Huckabee Sarah Huckabee Sanders goes bipartisan
Posted by Max Brantley on Sat, Nov 19, 2011 at 6:38 AM
It's quite a spread for Sanders, interviewed about a perceived rise in a political power base of women executives (Democrats are still the clear preference of women according to poll, article notes) and about her job with a Florida public affairs company working on Bono and Bill Gates' The One campaign, a bipartisan effort to fight child poverty and disease, particularly in Africa. She exhibits her father's occasional dash of political pragmatism in discussing the polarized state of politics.
I’m a huge conservative, but I’m not mad about it. I want somebody who feels that way, who’s not going to come out and say, ‘Anytime a Democrat opens their mouth it’s clearly the dumbest idea that’s ever been uttered.’

Sadly heredity will ensure that Sarah will indeed be a huge conservative, and I mean huge.

Funny she wants to help starving kids in Africa but she's against an economic system that would help lift billions out of poverty.
Cognitive dissonance, perhaps?
I am happy that, in a recent Marie Claire article, both Sarah and her father embrace a less confrontational tone with those who may disagree with them. However, I fear Sarah has a selective memory with regard to our federal deficit. I must ask you, Ms. Huckabee-Sanders, do you and you father have selective amnesia with regard to the financing of the Iraq/Afganistan wars, which were financed "off the books". Do you *really* believe that the "deficit" began under President Obama? If so, shame on you, and why intelligent voters will not take anyone of your ilk seriously in 2012.

Like most conservatives and neocon Republicans, Sarah and her father Mike are woefully out of touch. Why are cons so misogynistic?
