It’s been almost three years since I, along with many others, was introduced to Governor Sarah Palin. In that time we have been saturated with coverage of her and just about everybody on the left and the right, has had the opportunity to get to know who she is and what they think of her.
At least that’s what I thought.
(snip)
I thought she hadn’t gotten a fair shake in the media, but I felt confident that I could see through the bias and that I understood who she was, what she had done and what my opinion would probably be about her going forward.
I was entirely incorrect.

I pride myself on my ability to know when something is baloney, almost instinctively. On Sarah Palin, I was so incredibly hoodwinked that the one word that my wife and I agreed described how we felt after watching it, was shame. Yes of course invigoration, satisfaction and all the other things you experience when watching a good film, but about how we had handled our vetting of Mrs. Palin, shame was the word that best described it.
Shame for not bothering to look up her record. Shame for not reading her story. Shame for turning the channel when she came on the tv. Shame for not listening to people that we had a great deal of respect for like Andrew Breitbart, Tammy Bruce, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.
As Breitbart points out in the film, the greatest shame is that while this woman was savaged to degrees you may not even realize yet, some of us sat back and let it happen.

Dick Cheney should replace Giuliani on your list.

I think the Gov has got what it takes to unravel this mess we’re in...and undo all the baloney that’s been going on the last few years!
Y'know, I've been unhappy with some of Palin's pronouncements and tactics the last couple years. If I heard about 'Mama Grizzlies' one more time, I thought I'd scream. But, in the end, though I've tried to get excited about Cain and then Bachmann, I can't help but hope that Palin runs.

But mostly, those that wish to be deceived are.
The con man never cheats the honest man...
The extraordinary success that Sarah achieved as Gov were BIG issues - not the small stuff like “school uniforms”.
Sarah has the intelligence, values, will power and sheer strength to be a GREAT president and to save America and our Constitution!
We are smarter than they are and don’t just read the headlines or allow ourselves to be told what to think....
Sarah! UNDEFEATED! VINDICATED!
Congrats to Red State for finally waking up to the truth. Better late than never!
You might want to add Rummy to that list as well.
I love ‘em all and everyone else who gets under their skin and messes with their little minds.
Wow, just wow.
I will go out on a limb and say that it will be mid to late August when she publicly announces. I will also speculate and say that it will be at the end of her West Coast Bus Tour at some 'rally' (maybe?). Just guessing here.
Yes, definitely Donald Rumsfeld!
