"Controversial" to who? The lying sewer known as the MSM? Obots? RINOS? Moonbats and other assorted leftists? Ask me if I give a damn about what any of them think.
She can't lose any more points with that crowd, so she may as well speak her mind. She's built that way, anyway.
Get used to Sarah coming straight out with the plain, unadulterated truth. It's what she does, and it's who she is. She doesn't speak "nuance" or politi-speak, like most politicians. She speaks the way the people speak, which is why we love her.
Why is the right so afraid of the media and what they think?
This is an issue and will be until Dan Rather produces the real one.
Even within conservative circles the b/c issue is controversial. Look at some of the eligibility threads on here or comments made by Coulter/Levin etc on the issue. It is controversial.
Sarah’s message needs to get out to the public without media manipulation or made-up “news” report intended to end her political future.
We also know the media will try to destroy anyone who can do harm to Obama. With so many in the MSM believe it is their job to protect their messiah, Sarah is the #1 target on that list.
We have to remember most of Americans are not news/political junkies like we are. They get their news in 30 second sound bites, usually slanted to fit the networks agenda of the day. The media will distort her answer until she’s taken Orly’s position as “Queen of the Birthers”.
I fully believe we will need Sarah and others like her to clean up the mess Obama and the Dems will leave this country in. She will need all the public support she can muster if she chooses to run for office (I pray she does).
The ultra left, Obot’s and RINO’s aren’t who Sarah needs to impress. She needs independents and common sense Americans those whose only pay attention to candidates around election time.
I simply hate giving the media anything to use against Palin. Like it or not it’s reports the MSM presents who most Americans use to base their opinions; and those are who Sarah needs to get on her side.
