If your problem is with us and not with her, why in the hell are you attacking her ?
I've done research on Palin’s history and some of it is good and some of it bad. Her supporters want to ignore the bad as if it didn't exist and respond by “attacking” the messengers in the most despicable and childish ways as if that will put a lid on the questions. It may for a while, particularly here on FR, but eventually all of it will come out and it won't be at the most beneficial moment for you or Sarah.
You're better off discussing it now like an adult rather than trying to quash it like Nixon did in Watergate. At least then when the A-team players use it you'll be ready. At this point you'll end up like deer in the headlights when it happens and end up complaining about how unfair it all is and how everyone hates Sarah and that was why she was taken down...because everyone is “afraid of her”.
Let me tell you one thing, nobody is afraid of Sarah with the possible exception of her primary opponents whom she might defeat. I am certain that if the dems could pick the candidate they have to go up against in ‘12 if would be Palin. She is absolutely the most vulnerable.
95% of my negative comments are directed at or originate with things that her most ardent supporters claim. IMO many of them are spun, skewed or outright fabrications of her history an accomplishments. Criticizing comments by her supporters is not necessarily criticizing Palin. It might look like it to you but that is because you are so detached from reality and so blinded y Palin’s star power you now have an inability to recognize not only motivations but also the truth.
I've criticized Palin when she has said or done dumb things (from a political stance or when she herself mischaracterizes her record). It started with her comments about the bridge to no where. When she looked me in the eye and made it appear as if she was always against it, and the reasons why, I knew she was lying to my face. From there on I started doing research on not only her claims but the glowing comments and claims of her supporters. What I found is that many times the hype and spin didn't agree with the reality.
The public image of Palin for the most part as a PR and marketing inspired sleight of hand. I'm not saying she is bad, evil or unaccomplished in some areas. But if were to decide who we will support to run in ‘12, and hopefully win, us as pilots need to know the condition of our aircraft.
Ardent Palin supporters, Palinistas, are keeping us from doing that. Why I don't know (but I got some ideas). But that isn't;t a good place to be in when deciding who may be the next leader of the free world and advocate on our behalf.
We need to know the complete story, warts and all. Keeping people from seeing those warts may end up with us making the wrong decision.
And that could be the most catastrophic thing of all.
