Well, if I’m grateful for anything concerning the whole GOP backstabbing of Palin, it’s that it truly opened my eyes to the vileness of the Republican Party establishment, and how it in no longer represents my values or my beliefs. It ended my lifelong, exclusive-GOP voting record; it ended all the wasted time I used to devote listening to so-called ‘conservative’ pundits; it ended my viewing of FoxNews after being a longtime watcher.
Hence, it’s really taken a big burden off my shoulders, and freed up a lot of time.
Agreed.
My moment of realization came when the GOP establishment kept silencing the microphones any time Ron Paul's name was mentioned at the last convention.
It was a foregone conclusion at that point that he wasn't going to win, but they couldn't be satisfied with that, they had to silence the mic's any time his vote tallies were mentioned as they went through each state's results.
