I’m far from being a member of the Republican faithful, but I like Sarah Palin. She’s not a lawyer, she doesn’t come out of the DC cesspool, she has exhibited great inner strength, and courage, she not only talks the talk, but walks the walk on her convictions. Is she brilliant? No, but then again, I have seen much brilliance in either party in all the years I’ve been paying attention to them. Is she polished, smooth, and slick? No, and maybe that is another quality that I find attractive. I don’t agree with some of her beliefs, but she at least has core beliefs, and sticks by them, whereas most politicians wet their finger, and holds it in the air, then decides what their beliefs are. Does she have a vast sum of accumulated knowledge about all the issues facing the nation? No, but then again, neither has a lot of those who have been elected, including obama. Give her 4 years to read, listen, observe, study, and think, and she’ll be ready for politics on the national stage. For those who belittle her accomplishments, just remember, she rose from a town council person, to mayor, to the governor of her state, and she did it all on her own, thanks to her inner strength and courage. She was not from a wealthy family who could buy her an election to any of these things, and she did not ride her husbands coattails like Hillary did, again, she did it on her own. Perhaps those who get so much pleasure out of attacking her should stack their own accomplisments against hers before they post their often times vile comments. Maybe those in the media who attack her should compare the “couage” they display from the safety of a terminal in a cube farm on the media plantation, and it is they who will come out lacking.
