“I’m just a guy who isn’t claiming to be anything special, yet you are choosing to insult me.”
You level insults at her and look down you nose at her grammar (”I...religiously follow her tweets...for belly laughs”), and then you claim to be “just a working stiff.”
You may find her tweets to be worthy of “belly laughs”, but they seem to generate tremendous attention and “move the needle” for the likes of Nikki Haley,Karen Handel and Susanna Martinez. I doubt if your posts generate that much attention.
“If you can’t see the difference between me, just a guy, and a wannabe leader of the free world, then I can’t help you.”
Based on your comments on this forum, I can see a vast difference between you and the “wannabe leader of the free world”, as you put it. Her arguments are cogent and conservative and, based upon the last two years of observing her career and the quarter century I observed Reagan, I can tell you that she has a much better understanding of Reagan than you do. Comparing Sarah Palin to Jimmy Carter, as you did earlier in this thread would be insulting, if it were not so ignorant. You obviously know nothing about Carter and you know next to nothing about Palin’s record as Governor of Alaska.
If you want to educate yourself about Reagan and his 1976 and 1980 campaigns, I suggest you read “Reagan’s Revolution” and “Rendezvous with Destiny” both by Craig Shirley. You will quickly see the similarities between what Reagan faced from the GOP Establishment and what Palin faces now...the insults to his intelligence, his competence, the numerous gaffes that the MSM identified and spotlighted. He was smeared as a warmonger and a racist, both by the GOP Establishment and by Carter. If you seriously want to engage in a dialogue about Palin and Reagan, read the books.
On the other hand, if you just want to engage in serial posting against her with no facts in support, don’t bother reading the books. You are already qualified to do that.
There you go again...saying stupid things. Of course my posts aren't generating any appreciable level of attention. I don't know of any posters at all who are garnering much attention outside of FR itself, and that includes you. I speak to others here with the same level of comfort that I'd speak to someone in my living room. I don't know about you, but I don't have any illusions of self-importance. The sum total of my political power lies in my single vote, and really, I'm ok with that.
Now you can either accept that I'm offering my opinion of Sarah Palin to those I consider friends, or not. Either way, I'll continue speaking my mind. You don't have to like the fact that she strikes me as slow and dim witted, but you are going to have to live with the fact that she strikes me as being slow and dim witted. If I claimed that I thought she was remarkably intelligent, I'd be lying through my teeth. I call'em like I see'em, and that's not going to change. Live with it. God only knows I have to live with everyone who worships her as the second coming, those who have schoolboy crushes on her and everyone in between.
