"She is a populist. Her favorite movie is about populism. Did you read her books?"
You say she is a populist, you prove it. I am not going to undertake an absurdity on your behalf which is to disprove your assertion on your terms but without your citations. You assert that there is something in her books (I have in fact read Going Rogue) that identifies her as a populist, provide the citation. It is, after all, your assertion and your reference, where is your citation?
It is not up to me to go rummaging through book after book in an effort to disprove some assertion of yours which you are not willing to substantiate. I do confess, however, that I am ignorant as to what Sarah Palin's favorite movie is but I am not at all sure that Sarah's "favorite movie" will settle this argument one way or the other-that is if you are willing to cite the movie by name, at least.
I prefer somewhat more substantial resources on which to draw conclusions. I saw nothing in "Going Rogue" which shows her to be anything but the kind of good government conservative that I asserted in my original post. Her fight with the oil companies was a matter of opposing crony capitalism-perfectly consistent with a true reading of her speech, inconsistent with the author's version, and not at all indicative of populism. Her wars against the corruption of the Republican Party in Alaska are hardly populist but merely good government conservatism.
In case you do not know what a populist is,or how the definition might apply to Palin, have a look at this article:
