I agree with you.

I had a lenghty argument with pretty much everybody about this on tuesday morning when Palin first made the facebook post.

My thinking at the time was that Palin should’ve proactively done something, anything, to prevent any potential damage from that property.

I thought that money to the neighbor could have fixed the problem. It turned out that many of the things that I suggested the Palins had already done. Apparently Palin did rent the house last year.

But, boy, try to suggest that anything that Palin did or did not do was other than the perfect response and you can expect an attack from her supporters. I’m a Palin supporter, but in this case I thought that she did a less than stellar job of anticipating potential danger from that wild-card neighbor property. Many of her supporters do not think that Palin should have to anticipate problems, to have to foresee anything. McGinniss is evil and Palin is good and that’s all there is to that.

But it turns out that Palin has tried to solve the problem with the wild card property, by starting the process of building a house that wouldn’t be effected by potential prying neigbors, by renting the wild-card property, and other things.

But most of her supporters thought I was an idiot for suggesting simple solutions like 1) move 2) buy neighbors house 3) rent neigbors house. Palin, potentially the next President, should be able to control her evironment, and should be able to keep someone like McGinness from peering into her house. And legal action isn’t the only means of doing that. Talk to neighbors. Use $.

I feel much better about Palin knowing that she did in fact see the potential problem before it arose and took steps to guard against it. It was right of me to expect Palin to have seen the potential problem, and wrong of my critics to not expect her to see it.
