Mrs P has enraged me, but she much more oft instills a feeling of genuine hope, (as opposed to Obama's kind).
Constructive critique of Palin, or any pol, is desired. What taints the Right are those who lie about Palin, insist she has sold out, or call her juvenile; idiotic names.
If it is one's desire to negate and annul what Obama & Co. have foisted on America, then we'd better damn well be wanting Sarah Palin to run for POTUS in 2012.
