Most people wouldn’t be able to take the beating she took for as long as she did. She’s still a hero to me. When you’re a politician, you’re fair game. The commie ‘RATS went too far when they conducted their Naziesque blitzkrieg against her family and her infant son. Twenty years ago, Americans wouldn’t have allowed the commie ‘RATS to get away with what they did. We had values (and a conscience) back in those days.

Sadly, it wasn’t the Commie RATS who did in Sarah Palin - It was the good ol’ RINOs who didn’t want to see her succeed at the National level. She made her name in Alaska politics by refusing to go along with the corruption in her own party. If she started turning over rocks in DC, who knows what she might have found and the GOP establishment didn’t want anyone to upset their padded little nest eggs.

If the “leadership” of the Republican party (Bush, Boehner, McConnell, McCain, Rove, etc) would have come to her defense, most of these stories would have gone nowhere but I suspect that more than a few of them were planted by GOP operatives who wanted to make sure that Mitt “go-along-get-along” Romney had a clear path to the nomination, which they already know he will lose in the general election.

I don't know how old you are, but if you are my age, you will recall the attacks on Richard Nixon and his family. They were beyond the pale (pail?) What happened to Sarah Palin is very like that, and I shudder to think what might have happened to her and her family, had she been elected VP. In fact, I fear what will happen to any GOP president if elected (except Romney who isn't really a republican.)

Can you or anyone really articulate what Watergate was actually about? It was all media driven to destroy a popular republican president who won reelection by a landslide, and, truth is, there really is no “there” there.
