Blind spot? Oh, you mean like the "blind spots" some conservatives had about Reagan, who also had his all-too-human warts?
Here we have someone finally stepping up the the plate in national politics, who comes about as close to a dream candidate as any of us have seen in a generation, and you'd prefer that we take a pass on her because she's got a wart or two?
That logic fails, and is hereby dismissed as a pathetically weak excuse on your part, for your attacks on this rare patriot.
If I can get 1 or 2 FReepers to pause and consider the POTENTIAL realities of Gov. Palin’s current position and activities, be it her movie, her possibilities of running and/or her messing with the MSM, then that I have accomplished my objective.
What potential realities would you have us consider, pray tell?
Her current position? She's more well-positioned to boot Bammy from the Oval Office, than any other candidate in (or out) of the race. She's also the de facto leader of the Tea Party movement.
Her activities? She led the charge in the 2010 midterms, to elect a virtual tsunami of Republicans to office across the country.
She's knocked the Obama White House off point over and over again with her tweets and published articles.
She's met with leaders of allied countries abroad, forging bonds that should be the domain of our president (except he's voting 'present' as usual).
She published an account of her life and career in politics that went to number one on the NY Times best seller list.
She's spoken to large groups of conservative activists at many organized functions.
She's made speeches at Tea Party events, the big Glenn Beck shindig in Washington, and in Wisconsin, in support of Governor Walker's efforts to end collective bargaining for public unions.
She also found time to film a series about her home state of Alaska, and has worked as a conservative commentator for Fox.
Don't forget her bus tour and Rolling Thunder.
Her movie? What movie? Palin hasn't made a movie. Steven Bannon made a movie about her life, but she had nothing to do with that.
Her possibilities of running? What of it? Are you perhaps referring to the fact that she's chosen not to jump into the race early, and be a part of the demolition derby we're watching?
Her messing with the MSM? You say that like it's a bad thing. You think maybe she should forgive and forget, after what they've tried to do to her and her family these last three years? Do you not realize that the press hasn't attacking Sarah Palin -- they've been attacking every good and decent thing about you and I, and every other patriot American?
...then that I have accomplished my objective.
And what objective would that be? To knock down one of this nation's most promising leaders, because (gasp!) she has a couple of warts?
“Her messing with the MSM.... “
BZZZZTTT!!! Category error: Complainer implies that confronting MSM on their BS is bad.
Windy, every time I read a complaint from a Palin detractor spouting those/similar words or complaining that somehow it is a bad thing, here’s how it translated and what they really believe:
1: She’s fighting back and that disrupts the status quo I like, so I don’t like it. She should just shut up.”
2: If she fights back she might inspire others to question what they are spoon-fed and start to fight back also...refer back to #1.”
There is no argument that a Palin detractor can make about ‘messing with the media” that does fit the above.
