Palin’s GOP too far-right for me

Did you ever think that perhaps “conservative enough” by Sarah Palin’s standards might be too far right for the rest of us Republicans and independents?
Most of us are not wealthy and are neither racist nor homophobic. We are not all evangelical Christians. We are merely commonsense people, most of whom have faith in God, but respect people who do not share our faith (we pray for them rather than judge them); we believe strongly in fiscal restraint, less government intrusion in our lives, a fair taxation system and an agenda that is not only without discrimination but also includes all people regardless of their race, religion, sexual preference or economic status.
We “RINOS,” as we have been labeled by the far-right commentators, are the Republican Party, too.
If the eventual nominee of the GOP is not “conservative enough” for Sarah Palin or the Tea Party to endorse, then perhaps it is they who are not listening.
