This is the only place that can turn me into a Palin critic.
I find myself infuriated whenever some Beltway sniveler like Noonan, Brooks, or Krauthammer looks down his or her nose at Palin. I find myself screaming that she’s accomplished more with fewer advantages than Obummer ever has. That she’s run things, worked in the real world, etc.
Then I come here and see that there are some who go the other way and treat her like a deity, seemingly unable to see that her political expressions do, really, remain fairly shallow.
Is there a thing Palin says that dozens of other conservatives don’t say better and more eloquently? Does anyone here really think she has the depth of a DeMint or Michelle Bachman, for example? Or (he says, ducking) even of a Newt Gingrich? Honestly?
She’s a great story and an accomplished person. She’s to be admired. But she would NOT be a good choice for the GOP presidential nomination at all.
But you say that here and its as if you’ve just called a lot of peoples’ babies ugly.
Oh, well.

Well said. And on top of that, I have repeatedly stated I’ll support her, even enthusiastically, if she wins the nomination. But that isn’t good enough. If she ain’t numero uno in your heart and mind, then you are a “hater” or better yet, a ‘liar’.
