Interesting isn’t it that the same posters who always hated Palin, and would jump on every thread to say how much their grocer and their barber and their next-door-neighbor all LOATHED Palin, and thus she shouldn’t even dare think about running... are the same ones who now jump onto these threads and condemn and belittle her for not running?
I just file them away as being from the innately ‘corrupt’ wing of the GOP establishment.
I am tired of you making excuses for the woman.. She either didn’t want it or she didn’t have the courage. Jackie Robinson knew he could have got picked off on his way to Ebbets Field. he got just as much hatred as Palin and he was just a baseball player.
“I just file them away as being from the innately ‘corrupt’ wing of the GOP establishment.”
I think many of them have more primal issues, about women, mothers, wives, entrepreneurs and people of faith. Some of them actually are articulate and principled conservatives who then go into wild frothing fits about pretty much any of the Palins. Envy, resentment, longing . . . I don’t know, but the haters are not reacting to anything conscious or rational. It is deeper and more primitive than that, even when the people are not themselves primitives. Some of her supporters are like that too, although most of those turned on her when she decided not to run.
I like her. A lot. She is a squandered asset and too many wanted to see her Borked precisely because she did have so much potential.
