At this point I would point out that at 114 posts save one there has not been a legitimate answer to my original question which itself was legitimate and pertinent.

The reason for this is obvious to me, most Palin supporters hide their heads in the sand preferring to believe in marshmallow castles and strawberry moats (and messiahs) as opposed to hard realities of modern politics.

Now wait a sec! How can you legitimately expect a serious answer when you frame your questions to "Palinistas"?

...as opposed to hard realities of modern politics...

You don't understand the hard realities of human psychology. People want to have something to rally around. People want to have a reason to give 100% to a cause. The further the pendulum swings one way, the more some will react or move further the other way. Yes, some people may, on the Internet, write in a way that they seem to have a messiah complex about Palin, however, I won't say people are treating her like that until, like Obama, her image starts appearing on FReeper's candles.

The other issue is how much Palin is attacked. Remember, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction- that is basic physics but it also applies to psychology. Palin has been attacked harshly, and thusly, her supporters react in an equally powerful way.

Some are reacting to you as though you are attacking in the same way the bloggers attacked her kid, so you should expect a reaction in a relational like manner. Others see what you are doing is just saying 'go ahead and settle now'. People don't want to settle, they want to be passionate, they want something to fight for.

IMHO, you are choosing the wrong battle.

Perhaps they imagine some premise in your question that they don't like...

...such as "most Palin supports believe in marshmallow castles and strawberry moats".

LOL!

You do understand that nobody here owes you an answer don't you?

Also you don't seem to have the guts to answer the question about who you support. Why should anybody answer you when you won't answer anybody?
