It's my experience with some Palin fans that keeps her at arm's-length. I think they feel intense emotions about her, and so many people trust their emotions that they can't like what someone stands for AND admit to their flaws (or any flaws). I think many Palin fans are so frustrated at the ridiculous attacks from the media that any hint ofthe criticism ALL politicians deserve gives them an excuse to fire away, with the one unbeliever standing in for those remote reporters and talking heads.
It's bizarre to me how someone would feel such personal warmth for someone they only know through the media. These people are all politicians, for pete's sake. But when people hear a woman who talks as they do, they feel she is a stand-in for them, so when she's assaulted, they feel like THEY've been assaulted.
It's actually the same mindset that brought us Barack Obama--make people think you're One of Them, talk like them, and they feel close to you. Once they feel that way, they're in your corner, no matter who or what you really are.
Some have no problem with this. To me, though, it's why we're so screwed up politically, and why we probably always will be. (And I say this as someone who would vote for Palin over anyone else on the scene.) It's especially disturbing since we're supposed to be the party of adults--when people attack you for bringing up facts or even poll numbers, we've got a lot of nerve saying we're nothing like the other side.
Thanks for the psychoanalysis. NOT!!!!!
And No I did not prove your false premise.
I agree with EVERYTHING you've said. You nailed, entirely.
so if we believe Palin fights for us, when she is slammed unfairly, we just say its her job to defend herself??? That’s another reason why the USA is where it is, we all just take it lying down. The Libturds, rinos, and msm have to know this time, it’s not going to be their candidate
Look i only agree maybe with 80% of SP positions. I wish she would not be pro-interventionist for example, but bottom line she is a real conservative, and she has integrity and she cares about ordinary people who work and pay taxes. I trust her
You are right in a way.
When some one makes an anti Palin argument. They turn themselves into target practice. And we take our wrath and spite for the MSM out on them with no mercy.
It is like being an American League pitcher. Because of the DH, you can’t throw at your intended target pitcher. So you just throw at anyone who steps in the box with a bat.
