It's sad isn't it. Watching Palin supporters acting like bitter paulbots. Dunno what happened to these people.
I love Governor Palin, loved her speech in Iowa the other day, love what she stands for - but Palin is not the end all be all of politics, and she also has made some critical mistakes if she had any thoughts of running for President. From quitting as governor, to reality TV gigs, to this endless "will I or won't I run" stuff - it's just not been popular at all for most conservatives. I understand why she left her Governor job, and I used to think if Palin ran people would gravitate towards her in the primaries, but it is pretty clear now that people have moved on and that she just isn't particularly popular with most Republicans. Even solid majorities of conservatives and Tea Party supporters just don't want her to throw her hat in the ring anymore.
Governor Palin isn't running. It is not going to happen. She doesn't have the support for it, and her negatives are astronomically high. The public knows her very well, she has near 100% name recognition and she just isn't well liked. Those are the facts and there is no getting around them.
Why is it that any criticism of Perry makes one a Palinbot or Paulbot? And, why is it that any mention, of Perry by his supporters, is honorific to the point of worship? Whether Palin runs or not is immaterial. While the rest of us find it admirable that you Texans would support a man, who as governor, apparently, represents you well; he ain’t our governor and he ain’t our president yet! If your candidate can’t take this kind of criticism or scrutiny then he ain’t sturdy enough to be POTUS.
