Well for me it was instant and true love, politically speaking of course. I saw her speech the morning McCain first appeared with her as VP nominee and I knew I liked her. Loved every speech I could catch, and the convention speech was just plain old inspiring. She is one of us. She is like me, she is like many women who are good and honest and hard working. On election day, there was video of her leaving the polling place and I was delighted to see she wore a Carhartt Jacket just like mine. She is the real deal. Dems don’t like pro-life Christian conservatives and neither do some Washington elite repubs. Anyone who doesn’t like her is nuts. I think they’re jealous too. Throw some of that in the mix of why some don’t like her. She also gave that convention speech without a working teleprompter and pulled it off beautifully. She has moral absolute core values, she don’t need no stinkin’ teleprompter to tell her what to say.
Mostly it’s gays.
Homo guys for the most part. Homos in Hollywood. In the media. But it’s so gay, to hate Sarah Palin.
The other smaller contingent was the Mittens.
They’re just confused though.
Hair-struck.
Why so long?
She is a real Christian. Five words.
In 28 years only 1 Democrat has been elected president. They feel that Gore got screwed so they were and are willing to do anything to get and stay in power.
A good post. Thanks.
I believe what scares a lot of those on the left is that Gov. Palin is a throw back to a much earlier time, a time when a woman could help plow a field, raise a large family, and handle a rifle to help feed or protect her family. She’s what I picture my great grandmother as, proud, tough and independent. A woman that tough really frightens a lot of people, particularly on the left where real softness and cowardice dwells. Palin advancted to where she is by her own hard work, grit and determination.
One of the main reasons I think...
Abortion. Deep down, they know it’s pure evil. Confronting that scares so instead they lash out in hatred.
Let’s face it, the anger is nourished by the media and elites in Washington, New York and LA. If the liberals in Milwaukee, Chicago and San Francisco took a few moments and actually met Sarah, they would realize how ridiculous the media-created caricature of Sarah really is.
And for the clowns in media and politics, from my experience working with people in New York, DC and LA, they may have gone to the “good” schools and summer in the Hamptons, but they are clueless when it comes to how things work in the real world.
Just as an aside, I was out in New York with several magazine editors when I pulled out my wallet to pay. One of the ladies saw my Texas concealed handgun permit and asked me what it was. For the next 45 minutes I was yelled at by 5 women as if I was a serial rapist. The concept of self-defence was completely foreign to these ladies. Or, the notion of deterrence or the drop in violent crime in Texas after the concealed law was passed.
I finally realized it was a lost cause. “Guns are evil. Guns should be banned. I was an uncivilized redneck.” It is truly astonishing how screwed up the thinking is in these ultra blue parts of the country. And I have had similar experiences in LA and DC.
Its no wonder they hate Sarah so much. They are all freakin’ brainwashed.
