You betcha, they are.
Although early polling seems to demonstrate that Sarah doesn't have much of a chance head-to-head against President Obama in 2012, the left seems intent on tearing her down.
If it's not stories about her children (does she really have to continue to "prove" that her son is actually hers?), or stupid criticism about methods of population control of arctic wolves (if the wolf has a bullet in his brain, do we think he cares where the bullet came from?), it's a new charge of ethics violations based on some of the most asinine allegations.

Yes, they are afraid of her. Remember, for a few brief days last year when McCain rolled her out as his choice for VP they were leading Barry in almost all of the polls. The Dems were soiling their pants. Something had to be done ... what was it? ATTACK!! ATTACK!! ATTACK!! Three more years in the political world is a long time, so I wouldn’t put much stock in these “early” head-to-head polls. Sarah will be back and I don’t think she’s afraid of the liberal media. I think she will take her case directly to the people. After three more years of a deep recession she could ask, “Were you better off BEFORE Barack Obama was president? If so, vote for me and I’ll regain our prosperity with lower taxes, lower unemployment and a higher standard of living.”
This is why Giuliani was out of gas by the time the primaries came around.
Absolutely..... and they should be.
I disagree, she wasn't thrown into the fire before she was ready, she was thrown into the fire with people who wouldn't let her be herself, and who wouldn't stand behind her and support her.
She is so darn hot.
She takes my breath away, in all ways possible.
Palin-MCain were doing just fine against Obama-Nitwit just before the September financial fiasco. In fact, they were ahead in the polls. Which leads me to believe that if the late September meltdown hadn’t occurred, McCain-Palin might have defeated The Chosen One and his idiot sidekick. At least the race would have been a lot closer.
There is much truth in what you say.
no i don’t agree with all of you that the left “fears” Sarah Palin
why do all these average joe obamabots run around hating Sarah Palin? do they have a particular allegiance to the democratic and wish to help bring her down?
the left hates sarah palin because that’s what they do - they hate
they hate “big business”
they hate bush
they hate religious people
they hate people who oppose national healthcare
they hate palin
they hate regardless of any fear
so i don’t buy this that the left fears sarah palin. they just demonize her endlessly to the point that they see her as a person with an IQ of 2 and then use her as a source for their faux outrage
Yeah, because that's much more damaging than the gaffes produced by Obama daily.
I for one will vote against her and canvass as well to keep her from the nomination.
That's your decision and I respect that.
Her election is a guaranteed 4 more years of Obama.
How so? She is the only Republican of potential candidates that can unite the base together.
She will be like Bush where everyone around her will be able to convince her to implement their own personal agendas, conservatism be damned.
You are basing this off of the fact that she was McCain's running mate. I disagree; in 2012 Palin will be her own person calling the shots.
She doesn’t have the intellectual rigor and broad historical and economic knowledge to be an independent decision maker like Reagan, Bush I, Eisenhower, Nixon.
Typical Beltway snob elitism thinking. Palin has one thing going for her, and that's good-old fashioned American values and common-sense. I don't want an egg-head Ivy Leaguer for President.
Baloney. You think people are really paying attention to Palin now? They're more concerned about losing their jobs and their homes. Those so-called independents and moderates aren't following politics right now, only the political left and right are.
I would agree that they're not following politics, but they are watching entertainment shows like SNL, Daily Show, Letterman etc, etc. Every time there's a Palin story on the news, regardless how pedestrian or boring, those left-wing smart-asses find a joke to tell.
It today's society, jokes count as news in the mind's of the public. How many people think Palin actually said, "I can see Russia from my house"? A lot. It adds up and it's a death of a thousand cuts. That was my only point.
“I don’t want an egg-head Ivy Leaguer for President.”
I don’t necessarily want an Ivy Leaguer for President but I sure as hell want an egg-head for president. Since when is it a bad thing to have a bright person in control of the most sweeping public policies that our country implements? These are often times life and death issues.
Would you want an elite egg-head architect designing and overseeing the construction of your work building if you will be on the 30th floor or just some average joe architect?
