Bob Lonsberry: 'I am a Sarah Palin Republican'

*
Veteran newsman, talk show host and blogger Bob Lonsberry proudly proclaims:
I am a Tea Party Republican.

And I am a Sarah Palin Republican.

Which is to say, I am a free-standing, Constitution-loving American who is not going to be intimidated into silence.

Sarah Palin does not lead people, she reflects people’s values. We do not follow her, she and we together follow a set of principles we learned at our parents’ knee. We like Sarah Palin not because she is the smartest or the best spoken or the most experienced, we like her because she is one of us.

She doesn’t have a Harvard heart.

She has an American heart.

We get her, and we know she gets us. And in her gut, she is going to think and feel the way we feel. She is the girl next door, and if the girl next door can be the backbone of America, then why can’t she be the leader of America?
