“Way too many people identify with Palin than the msm thinks.
Their attacks on her hit too close to home to too many people.
Attacking her = attacking them.
It’ll backfire.”
You are absolutely right. Too many people know a sister, brother or friend (or parent) who has been in that situation. Their Edwards-on-Cheney attack will flop. All Palin has to do in a debate is say “it’s earlier than expected but we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to welcome our first grandchild!”
Liberals have this perverted concept of conservative morality as some kind of puritanical scarlet-letter condemnation. (If they think that they probably didn’t even read the book, in which Hester’s love for her child is redeeming and the cowardly sperm donor is consumed by his guilt for not revealing the truth.)
Because they think this, they don’t understand that most friends-and-neighbors types probably want to be helpful and sympathetic (if not empathetic) and help make another’s life better. Most people don’t like condemning the people around them, even if they take the opportunity to share a lesson with their children.
Libs think conservatives cast out sinners at the first revelation of trouble. They’ve got it totally backwards - I see they’ve cast out any pro-life influences from their party.
A fine example of *liberal logic* (which is really an oxymoron.)
You’re right that they really don’t understand the way conservatives think.
