Go ask CBS/NYT. They seem to have an obsession with Palin. Sick obsession...They are scared of her, just like Reagan.
She;s very different from Reagan in this way: Reagan married into liberal Republicanism and only his self-assurance and I think his own family experience allowed him to move to the right on social issues, despite what Nancy might think about abortion for instance. Palin made an existential choice in bearing a down’s syndrome baby, so it is not so much as matter of ideology as deep rooted conviction, conviction she shares with her whole family. Just as Reagan’s experience with the communists in his union made him a viseral anti-communist who could not be swayed by sophistry, so she is on this issue. Ditto her experience on the oil commission. She is not a thinker, she is a doer, but she seems to do things based on her gut reaction to events.
I wrote a letter to that idiot
Mr. Robinson:
I am glad to see that your eyes have been opened concerning Sarah Palin. The night she gave her acceptance speech I walked into my livingroom where the TV was on and found myself mesmerized by her. I never thought I would even consider a female for the position of President or Vice President. As a woman myself I didn’t think many women had the mettle for it, but 5 minutes into her speech I realized I was wrong. This woman is different.
Those of you on the left are so steeped in deception you wouldn’t know sincerity if it bite you on the toe. Truth is something that totally eludes you and the very thought of a politician that not only tells you what they believes but demonstrates it in their own life is something you could never understand. Governor Palin is not a fabrication of some political operative; she is a real person that has lived a real life with all its ups and downs. Everything she has and is she acquired on her own and did it honestly. That too is probably very difficult for you to understand.
You think you will have her to kick around for a long time? Well sir, she will indeed be around for a long time, but if you intend to do any kicking I will suggest that you wear steel toed boots to protect your feet.
In the meantime, how about vetting your candidate as well as you have vetted Governor Palin. I think it’s about time, after all the election is only 5 days away.
Most Sincerely,
