Could be. But I have to think she had a look at how trustworthy the big picture conservative right has become and that played a role as well. I mean lets face it. Would any of us say with a straight face they would trust the right wing to back them after what we have seen since Team Romney turned the dogs loose on her back when she ran with McCain?
i sure as hell wouldn’t. The PDS rampant to this day proves it. She was not good enough for many so called ‘conservatives’ and her words backed by action in office meant nothing. But Mitt was and apparently... his proven lies and actual liberalism in office were good enough to go on. Lots of people don’t want to face that. But the facts and history show it’s all the truth.
I think you are exactly correct and would only add these “alleged” republicans are only republicans because they have grown real good at masking their deep seated liberalism.
As “liberals” they instinctively hate Palin for her extreme good looks, her stand on abortion, her positions on homosexuality, her success at maintaining an intact family and being married to an Alpha Male as opposed to a “girly man”.
That a Palin Presidency would re float all boats, conservative and liberal, and put this country back on the road to greatness, simply does not matter to them.
