“I have read a lot of the thread and saw some crudeness and ugliness on both sides. I am sure the DU’ers have a field day when conservatives lay aside their values and attack each other.
I trust we’ll help each other find the candidate that can get us out from under the yoke of bondage we find ourselves in at the present.
I will do my best not to attack others. I hope other FReepers will do the same. It’s a huge turn-off besides being unhelpful.”
AMEN Thank you for saying what really needed saying.
Now this thread has given me a chance to vent, I am done with bashing the Palinistas.
I have been crystal clear (as much as possible) in identifying the extreme fringe of the Gov. Palin supporters. These were the people who savagely attacked anyone who objectively analyzed Gov. Palin’s attachment to the political arena as being lacking to one degree or another.
But, to their credit, many FReepers who supported Gov. Palin didn’t find it a need to both crown her the 2nd coming of Reagan and excoriate anyone/everyone who dared speak the truth. The very truth Gov. Palin herself walked up to in her decision not to run. The FReepers if whom I speak attempted to balance their enthusiasm with political reality. These are the people who grabbed pom poms and jumped in support — and the people I respected.
The detrimental aspect was that many extreme palinestas decided the best way to support Gov. Palin was to denigrate the identifiable candidates of her detractors (one need only look at the 600 through 900 post IDs in this thread for many examples of this phenomenon).
