Please do not deviate from the written word so sayeth the Lord ;-) I loved the energy Sarah brought to the conservative movement when she hit the scene. As time has drug on the more I came to realize what follows her is a 3 ring circus. Whether right or wrong the media has shaped her and first impressions can rarely be reversed. Most of the electorates first impressions have been formed by the media.
As more time has passed I also noticed a celebrity type following to the point of almost a worship. Even to the point of blinding from decisions that were made leading to this particular event. No one could have anticipated this type of situation would have occurred...or could they? By no means was any of it deserved. My dad would always tell me you are the crowd that you keep and in most situations events that happen around you are influenced by the decisions you made leading up to those events.
I’m still a Sarah supporter but won’t work myself into a dervish frenzy to blast you because you raise interesting points. Some I even raise a brow to. Unfortunately the Sarah brand nationally had made her unelectable and I’ve had to come to that realization and move on from it....this is not the case with all
ITA but also want to add if she were a democrat none of this would be an issue and we would get the flip side of it from the media. Bristol being a single mom would be celebrated. Fights involving the family would be presented with a positive spin, etc. The 3 ring circus was started by the media.
The Palins erred, imo, with the reality shows. I watched a few episodes of the two shows (one about Sarah and one about Bristol and Willow) and I wasn’t impressed but I’m not impressed by reality tv, lol. I enjoyed some aspects of Palin’s Alaska but mostly for the scenery. The Bristol/Willow one was awful in all respects, imo. But, I’m one to watch reality TV in snippets to announce I’m glad it isn’t my life that’s being blasted in this way.
