People Like Palin
Charleston City Paper ^ | 2009-07-28 | Jack Hunter aka Southern Avenger

Posted on 07/28/2009 7:59:18 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

I’ve never been a big fan of Sarah Palin not because I ever thought she was exceptionally bad but because she never struck me as exceptional, period. By 2008, George W. Bush’s Republican Party had wrecked the Right and that Palin became famous by spending four months parroting the same, discredited agenda for John McCain didn’t exactly make her a credible conservative in my eyes, much less a new champion for the Right. Yet, I understood why grassroots conservatives’ desire for such a hero would lead them to Palin, whose beauty and backwoods charm, made her the perfect symbol for so many frustrated, middle-class Americans to rally around.

Does anyone ever tell Romney or Huck to do there homework? She knows more then Obama and Biden put together. Such a media created bunch of bull.

LOL...Obama, Biden, Romney, Huck? Let's not set our ambitions so low.

I'd like to see Sarah know has much has Rush, Hannity, Levin and many of us Freepers.

Look, she has great appeal, a strong following and she has always worked hard and succeeded.

I agree with that poster. I hope she does her homework.

Ron Paul attacks Sarah Palin as ‘country club’ Republican

When RINO Paul is a member of the Lake Jackson Country Club in Texas

Everyone has an accent to their region, I was listening to something on H&GTV last night set in Canada and all the people spoke in the same type of accent as Sarah Palin, one thing they do is end each sentence in an up pitch, almost like a question mark. Because Sarah speaks with an Alaskan accent does not make her stupid or a ditz, in fact I am learning from reading comments from people who worked with her that this is one very bright woman,..

Yo, Mariner: Perhaps you could consult one of your nautical
charts to find the close proximity of Alaska and Russia.
You, Sir, are out of line.

There is a name for people that don’t like Sarah Palin, but I think that I might get banned for posting it here ;o)

But it was so much out of context that the stories repeated could hardly even be considered out of context. They were, and are, of mythological proportion now.

It's so far from accurate (and intentionally so) that it is, in my opinion, a deliberate distortion (LIE!)

And of course, there are no Republican politicians sticking up for her, and insisting on making the left tell the truth about the matter.

Sorry, but it pisses me off!!!!! I used to send money to these creeps!

"She can have no more gaffs like seeing Russia from Alaska."

No Gaffe. The governor of Alaska is the only gov routinely included in all national security briefs. The proximity makes Alaska the most strategically important state. The gaffe was the idiots that failed to understand that.

“You can see see Russia from land in Alaska (Little Diomede Island).”

And Alaska is the only state, out of all 57, that you can say that about!

With 'friends' like that, you don't need many enemies ;o)

I have a pretty good idea what that name would be, I won’t post it either. Boy these Celebutards live in their own pretty little world where they have their limo drivers drive them everywhere and they don’t have to buy groceries because their maids buy it for them. I wonder how they would survive if they had to live like ordinary Americans do, I bet they’d survive 5 minutes

One President Sarah Palin in the White House is worth two Romney’s in the MASS Gov mansion...

Republican Politicians never stood up for Reagan either, he had to do it all on his own and so does Sarah. The GOP has become the Democrat Lite, when they call me up asking for donations I tell them off and hang up on them. You wouldn’t believe how many times I get voice mail messages on my cell phone asking for money from the GOP. I just delete them all

Sarah Palin received security briefings every single day. The proximity that Alaska has to Russia and other foreign countries is a fact. North Korea can send a missile that can reach Alaska. Sarah Palin NEVER said that because of the proximity that Russia has to Alaska, that gives her foreign policy experience, that was Tina Fey but of course these libtards will never say that. They are too far gone on their love for their Messiah. Funny, no one said anything when Obama himself said that his childhood in Indonesia gave him foreign knowledge. Where was the media on that “gaffe” oh yeah, I forgot, no where to be found

You misunderstand what “paleo conservative” means.

It is essentially the same as “real conservative,” as opposed to “neo-conservative” that means globalist sellout.

None of ron’s gang holds any claim to the term.

The author’s main point was that people vote for people who are “just like me,” and he is correct.
