These people are crazy.
I've never quite understood so-called conservatives who react to Palin in the same way that liberals do. I can understand being in disagreement with her in one or two areas of policy, but the condemnation from some on the right is near 100%. That's simply not logical to me, given all of her other strengths and demonstrated allegiance to basic American principles.
No candidate is going to measure up to our highest ideals, but they all fall somewhere between the top and bottom of our scales. I believe that in the areas of competence, leadership, patriotism, courage, smarts, honesty, instinct, and track record, Palin scores as high, or higher than any modern day politician I've ever seen.
I honestly do not understand why some who profess to be on our side are so dead set against her.
