Yep!

To not include the clarification of Palin that was at the end of this article told me exactly what Drape’s motives were. The fact that he thinks we can’t see through this crap is just insulting.

You know, if you ask these people who have PDS why they despise this woman so much; I’ll wager you they can’t give you a legitimate answer. It really is sad to see so called “conservatives” side with the insane Leftists in this country to try and destroy this lady. Beyond sickening!

On the rare instances they don’t ignore or redirect/duck/dodge, they often:
1. Use the debunked ‘quitter’ meme
2. Use the opinion only “she can’t win” meme with no explanation at all.
3. Use the divisive meme.
4. Blame ‘rabid Palinistas’ such as myself ;) as an example of God knows what.
5. Pick some random event from her time as Gov. to sho proof beyond all doubt that she is unqualified, though thusfar, all such has been repeatedly addressed, debunked or explained to the satisfaction of anyone willing to honestly evaluate the situation.

The ultimate end is that they simply, for reasons paid or pathetic, actively work to ensure she’s a non-starter.

Unfortunately they cannot be ignored because they INTENTIONALLY AND WILLFULLY lie to good people, who then, mistakenly, think Palin is/has done etc something she did not. So the battle goes on and the great “Cult of Palin” monument in the desert, “Trollhenge” gains another labeled urinal for us ‘Druids” to “shower with our respect” ;)

One state legislative staffer said this in a conversation about Gov Palin. He did not think she was electable because she had certain verbal mannerisms and kind of public face that lent itself to being twisted into a hostile caricature. I asked him what he meant by this and his response was something like this. Having met Sarah Palin twice in GOP functions he said her face to face persona was in critical ways different from her public face when dealing with the media. Face to face with those who are at least neutral towards her she is a direct and clear spoken individual who understands the political process very well and knows what her core beliefs are and how they inform her views on political issues.

In public when dealing with the media she seems unable to be that person and instead tries to push off media people she rightly considers hostile with a sort of “Gee whiz I'm just Sarah from Alaska.’ act and focuses on a kind of light friendly banter dance to get through the pack of media sharks. Unfortunately this means the sharks can carefully go through the tapes frame by frame and select snippets that can be then tacked together to present the governor as some sort of bubble head and sap.

Further he said that Gov Palin should do fairly well in debates but BO is going to be primed like no candidate ever has for any debate so that he can look grave and wise and say a lot of high sounding bafflegab hoping all the while Gov Palin will sound lie Dusty Roads giving an award speech at the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Within the GOP, this fellow was very frank that palin is detested because she has not become an insider who looks on politics as a profession just like selling bonds or used cars in spite of being inside politics fir years. She is considered a potential menace to the framework of the give and take deal making and self dealing political mode and that fuels much of the generalized dislike for her per se in the party.
