Just a thought...

It's worth a penny for sure. A zinc one. The perverted cabal of mouth breathing swine that we call "The Press" has been way out of bounds on the treatment of this family since 2008. They never treated Web Hubbell's kid that way. I'm no Palin zombie, but even I see red at the way the Palin's have been screwed over. Something smarmy and European (redundant?) about your post.

ABSOLUTELY I AGREE - the ms press is vile and continues it's machinations against all conservatives and Sarah Palin continues to be the highlighted target in their evil work.

As far as smarmy... let me pull all the smarm out somehow. I guess I'm just remembering when chelsy clintonista I think, there was a big brew haha over her saying something, I forget, but I seem to remember people saying, hey, since chelse chose to say something, she injected herself into politics, so she is fair game for the press. Which I agree with - in the sense that if I'm a politician and my kid makes public statements politically supporting me - well, then the press can start to cover them as they would a pundit or politician. And if the press starts hounding my kid, how can I then want the press to "leave my kid alone" ?

That's an IMHO, do you think it sounds reasonable, or am I missing something ?

As far as the European, well, I'm of euro descent, but my ancestors arrived in America between the mid 1600's to the mid 1800's and never went back, so my nationality is American. My ethinicity is European. As far as Europeans being smarmy, I don't think that's necessarily always true. I certainly had no intent to be smarmy in my post. I know that FR supports Sarah Palin, but in the enthusiasm for any candidate - especially good conservative ones like her - I think it's wise to sometimes listen to "thoughts" that might be helpful in success. I really want whoever the candidate is, if they get elected, to succeed. I'd offer the same caution to every good conservative candidate, that is, being careful about how family is included in the spotlight. Just my opinion, just trying to be a helpful voice of reason, not trying to say anything negative about any good conservative candidate. My preference at this point is Cain, but I'd vote for Santorum, out of the declared candidates. If Sarah Palin and / or Michele Bachmann and / or Jim DeMint declared, I personally could support any of them as well.
