I will never forgive the Mainstream Media, the Liberals, and especially Tina Fey for what they did to this woman. I noticed this is from the Governor’s website and I’m sure it will not be reported on the MSM. It’s frightening how many people actually believe that Sarah Palin uttered “I can see Russia from my house.”

That freaks me out too. People are so easily manipulated. They obey the media.

While the MSM is in a state of decline, and much less influential than it used to be, it still retains quite a bit of power. When all 3 major networks, the top newspapers(NYT, WaPo, LA Times), CNN, and a few others all decide to target someone and go after them 100% of time nonstop they can be effective. That said, in the end it was the economy, McCain's own lackluster performance with his "suspension" and weak debate performances, and Obama outspending him by 300M dollars that made the most difference. The MSM assault on Palin in the end amounted to very little votes being changed, I think. They went after Bush pretty hard in 2004 and tried to beat him, but they couldn't because the economy was in decent shape and people saw through them. Bush also had way more money and outspent Kerry by 40M, as opposed to being outspent by close to 300M. McCain/Palin got 60M votes and 46% even under the absolutely awful circumstances they faced and if the economy hadn't collapsed in mid-September/October, and say the Mumbai and Gaza things had happened during that timeframe instead, I think McCain would have won an extremely close eelction. He'd have won IN and NC. He'd have won FL and OH. And it would have come down to VA and needing one other state which I think would have been doable. But with the NYT losing 90% of its values over the past few years and 30 Rock's ratings in the toilet, Gov Palin may have the last laugh. She conducted herself with dignity and has nothing to apologize for. Circumstances just overwhelmed both her and McCain, although I have to be honest and say I'm not too upset McCain lost. Moreso for Palin. But if they had won, Palin would have almost never ended up President and would have stuck with the thankless task of his Vp and the odds of the GOP winning a 4th or even a 5th term if McCain ran again would be zero. So this way, she established herself and is in good position to run on her own and wit hher own agenda and not latched on to McCain. She's only 44, soon to be 45 and there's plenty of time. If Obama ends up as Carter, things will change mighty fast. Tina Fey, Katie Couric and all the rest did nothing to shake her spirit and if she can still smile like this after all they tried to do to her, she's ok. What a great photo.

And they will insist that they heard her say it.

She really got a raw deal and is probably THE most lied about politician.
