The "Trolls" Like Palin Most

Sometimes I wonder if Governor Palin realizes that it's not the media's distortions of her and her family that create such strong reactions against her. It's precisely the most devout haters who do see the real her, and that's what they're afraid of. They hate that she's smart. They hate that she's capable. They hate that she's perfectly qualified to be President.

They hate her becuase she is likeable, and they don't want to like her. Their feelings stem from a combination of fear, envy, inadequacy about their own selves, insecurity in their amoral value system, etc...

So to satisfy their insecurities, many will stay in their alternate universe and continue to believe in a Palin caricature of their own making.

NOTE: Sure there are some reasonable minded people that still have legitimate questions about what kind of leader she'd be, and need more time to decide if they'd consider voting for her. These are not the people I am referring to.

So, when so-called experts presume the idea that Palin is not "electable," it has little to do with any perceived lack of qualifications or abilities, or even her stances on policy. The staunchest detractors are those who are afraid of the good in Sarah Palin, not the flaws.

I’m not a Palinista, but I like her. I’d like to read what you have to say.

You rabid Palin people are nuts. You are like the anti-mormon-anti-Catholic mafia on FR that think people who don’t agree with you are insane with evil motives. Grow up and get over your idol worship. No person on this planet is worthy of people frothing at the mouth over. There are plenty of excellent and true conservatives who don’t think she has a chance, so you are going to have to deal with that eventually.

Still as full of crap as ever, eh, Bob?

Believe it or not I like her as well but I don’t think she is ready for the oval office. My and other peoples concern is the over the top rah rah for her that includes misrepresenting her record. Nobody hates Palin, 90% of the criticism is directed at the blind devotion and in some cases the hidden reasons for their unquestioning support.

We can’t really have a honest discussion about Palin on FR.

In an odd way I think 0 will be Palin’s biggest problem going forward. The W backlash that brought us 0 may manifest itself in the future as people going “Well the minority president experiment didn't work so let's go back to old white guys.” On the other hand it may well be that people go “Well we are tired of old white guys, halfrician didn’t work out so what the hell let's try a woman.” In either case the anti-woman in charge bigots will bubble up.

Believe it or not I like her as well

Yeah, sure, Bob - with all the times you've bash her over trivial issues, you still claim you like her.

We can’t really have a honest discussion about Palin on FR.

Why don't you first be honest with other Freepers?
