Well, the media liked them...until they didn't like them.
But who would think the Liberal media would toady up to a soon-to-be loser candidate long enough for them to get the nomination and then turn on them?
All that howling about "electability" for flawed candidates who wouldn't inspire a conservative to cross the street has produced what, exactly? Losers.
I much prefer someone who will stand on principle--and whose principles align with mine.
Palin isn't stupid (I think that was Tina Fey), she resigned the governorship because she had been rendered ineffective by trivial lawsuits which were bankrupting her and costing the State of Alaska a fortune. I can't fault her for that.
She remains a potent political figure in the sense that people, good, ordinary working folks (and those who wish they were working) will listen to what she has to say. That is power in the political arena, and I think that the Liberals and the GOPe are so afraid of her because the Libs are going to run a woman (Cankles of Fauxcahontas) and Palin could wipe the floor with either in a debate. The GOPe saw what she did with the good ol' boys in Alaska and she has them soiling their Depends at the prospect of her cleaning house there, too.
So I'm not surprised at the umpteenth hit piece aimed at Sarah. I'm just surprised at the level of support that gets from commenters on a Conservative website.
Do you mind if I use that in the future?
