Palin was the only reason I could stomach voting for McCain. I remember seeing stickers that said, "McWhatshisname/Palin".
The MSM buried Palin as deep as they could. They hated her, and the vitriol was relentless. In hindsight, some of her statements regards Russia didn’t seem so far off base, huh? :)
I found it unbelievable how a woman that paved her own way to success (no silver spoon), graduated with honors, became a mayor, one of the most successful governors, was made out as this idiot bimbo that’s just a pretty face. I was stationed at Fort Wainwright when she was a mayor in Alaska.
Maybe it is because she wasn’t sucking on the teat of some government program, had no abortion, didn’t throw the victim card around, married her high school sweetheart, her husband is mucho macho, a son is in the Army, she stayed married and constantly talked about Christian values that made the MSM and liberals go after her so aggressively. After all, the Clinton’s were loved because they portrayed the modern American secular institutional family, and Palin is everything that Hollywood and the MSM says is outdated, sexist, and wrong about this country. The people doing the attacking were the self professed champions of women’s rights, and they attacked her exactly in the cliche way that they claim a sexist thinks, just because she’s feminine and pretty they made her out as a bimbo (She was asking for it).
I’m with you. I could have cared less about McCain, I was excited about Palin who I see as the real deal.
