Of course they were scared... the Dems, the media, and the GOP-E. That’s why they all worked together to totally assassinate her character, trash her family, and drive her from office. Nothing scares the ruling-class elites more than seeing the kind of populist-conservative grassfire take hold out in mid-america, threatening their crony gravy-train, and that’s exactly what Palin was tapping in to and energizing.
The GOP-E’s vile accomodation and even participation in this completely altered my lifelong view of the Republican Party. No longer have any faith, trust or respect for the GOP. And changed my voting habits accordingly.
