...............I think most Freepers are simply so glad to have someone like Sarah courageously fighting for us “in the arena” that ANY criticism is, at first blush, met with some hostility.
Second, I also think that most of us who support Sarah have one thing that we love the most about her and that is that largely she just does not give a damn what ANYBODY thinks about her political positions, her clothes, her family, her daughters, her speech, her voice, what she eats, what she reads, Todd or anything else.................NO, basically, she is just going to be HERSELF which includes NOT holding up a finger into the wind and then staking a position! Bottom line: She clearly believes that “If being myself gets me elected FINE ! If not, FINE too!” We like that!
I expect that. Don’t get me wrong — I love Sarah. I’d work for her election. I just want her to be the best candidate she can be, and that means fixing a flaw.
It’s also quite true that she is determined to be herself, and that’s great. If she’s going to be a success, she wants to do it her way. It’s also true that ridicule is a very powerful weapon in today’s political arena. She used it herself against Chairman Zero yesterday and did so to great effect.
I wish her nothing but the best. I just want her to be a powerhouse :)
