If you wonder why so many Americans are attracted to Sarah Palin, just take a look at the crowd now nipping at her heels, doing its best to derail her appeal through personal attacks that are scurrilous.
Shes been a mayor and a governor, yet they say she lacks experience, though they remain enthralled by a loquacious president whose own resume was barren by comparison.
Shes a happily married mother of five, one a soldier who served in harms way, another a son born with Down syndrome, meaning she understands what it means to live life on lifes terms.
Of course, the kid who gets all the media attention is the one whose life was filled with the bumps and bruises of a rocky relationship, as if that should be the measure of her mothers viability. Its unconscionable. On either side of the political spectrum, common decency demands you dont advance your cause by using a candidates kid as a punching bag.
Palin has many ways to incense her critics, yet they all seem to endear her to the masses.
She doesnt believe in killing unborn babies, and feels marriage is the union of a man and a woman, an institution defined and ordained by God. For this, shes called hateful.
She believes immigrants ought to submit to an established process that would lead to legal citizenship. For this, shes called divisive.

“I do not think she should run for president.
She has not shown to me the experience or the intelligence for that job. She is competent for many other positions. “
Name us someone else you might like to see as President who has already reformed a state government and brought the oil companies into co-operative partnership with the citizens?
She excels in experience and intelligence!
You had me going there for a second. Good one!
The guy must have been reading some threads right on this site. There are a few ankle biters right here.
“She has not shown to me the experience or the intelligence for that job....”
Lets see who else is on the horizon....
Newt Gingrich...serial aldulterer whio obligingly rolled for special interests on the Contract with America in 1994
Mitt Romney’s Mess in Massachusetts is what everyone in the country will be looking at regarding their own healthcare in 2012
Mike Huckabee..another Man form Hope....maybe...
The current President renders any meaningful argument concerning experience and intelligence moot on a national level.
Details, please. . . about the "roll for special interests'.
Compare and contrast who is thin-skinned. Where is the media outrage over obamas terror of Beck? Could they at least give the same attention to the president as was given to the govenor of Alaska, a state which as about as many members of the house of representatives as has senators.
Who then?.. McLaim?.. Romney?.. the Huckster?..
Did you read her book(Going Rogue)?... that might convince you..
I thought it would be a chick book... but its not..
Shes vulnerable.. honest.. intelligent.. savvy.. and in your face.. I liked it.. a good read.. Shes not as sneaky as Gingrich.. or as mysterious as Reagan.. but she can BUY those quality's in her cabinet.. and advisers.. Shes not prissy.. catty.. "butch" or ditzy.. Shes like your MoM, IF your Mom was intelligent, caring, industrious, a force to reckoned with, courageous, and loving.. She loves the right things, hates the wrong things and is not too cowardly to say it just like that..
She a pioneer woman like the ones that shot the hold-up man when he got the drop on the "big old" pioneer MEN.. Shes dangerous to all the Wrong people.. and a blessing to all the RIGHT ones.. She knows who she is... and knows who she isn't...
Palin / Gingrich... <<-----2012...
Sarah’s potential is directly proportional to the vehemence of the Left’s attacks. They are scared to death of her, her values and the people who will elect her. If the devil isn’t chasing you, there is a reason.
Oh pleeeeaaaaaaaasseee! Enough of this lack of experience and intelligence. For crying out loud - Get your head out of your butt and look at her record.
