Thanks St. Louis 'Conservative' for once AGAIN posting negative/disruptive 'news'.

Hmmmmmm...'going rogue', the talking point focus of this week? Isn't it surprising that all MSM is NOW 'reporting' of the alleged infighting of the McCain/Palin camps. Going rogue?
Simply amazing how the MSM 'reports' within minutes of each other the same tired focus, the same trail balloon, the same reaching to see if anything negative 'sticks' with the American electorate.

I first noticed this technique in 2000 when all the major networks/cable instantly talked about the 'gravitas' of Governor George Bush. Gravitas, that isn't a word readily utilized in normal conversation. But it was a word utilized CONSTANTLY be every news channel. One only had to flip channels to discern this technique.

In the present campaign, Governor Palin was instantly deemed by the ENTIRE MSM to be only a token female selection. Then Gov. Palin's RNC acceptance speech was deemed acceptable only "because someone else wrote it for her (switching channels, it was instantly discernable that was the 'belief' of all analysis). In Gov. Palin's interview with C. Gibson the focus was on the Bush doctrine, although subsequent revelations set forth that there is not a readily discernable definition of said doctrine. In Gov. Palin's debate with Sen Biden the 'instant MSM analysis was that Gov Palin was just repeating well rehearsed practiced responses. Then last week was the omnipresent coverage of the $150,000.00 wardrobe spent on her family.

There are too many other examples of this nature. Perhaps there are pool reports available to all MSM... AAAAAhhh..wait a sec...isn't that called 'talking points'?

I didn’t look at this piece as negative, personally.

I am glad that Sarah Palin is “going rogue” as they allege. I trust her instincts better than some of the aides on the McCain campaign, many of whom probably have their own agendas. Some of them are old disgruntled Romney people who are trying to diminish her for a future run.

Palin has convictions, and I for one am glad that she stands up for them forcefully and doesn’t live and die by focus groups, polling, and media strategists.

St. Louis Conservative is a Troll. Don’t spend too much time on replying to it. If necessary, use the four letter word. The actually four letter word, unlike “jobs”. And I don’t mean the “F” word. More like ‘dump’.
