t's simply amazing that a VP candidate who ran on a losing ticket could be the center of attention, eight months after her party's defeat. This is unprecedented. Such losing VP candidates have never been in the national spotlight again, such as Lloyd Bentsen, and Dan Quayle. Others only became newsworthy again when they themselves decided to run for President. Among this group are Bob Dole, Walter Mondale, and Joe Lieberman.
Which us brings us to the question of why the constant and vicious attacks on Governor Palin and even more insidious the attacks on her family. After much thought, I can come to only conclusion. Liberals may loathe her, but primarily they FEAR Sarah Palin. Why do they fear her? Because they realize that she is a conservative candidate to be reckoned with and they want to discredit her now so that any future candidacy is stillborn. Enter the Alinsky playbook once again, and the campaign to smear all potential opposition. The same attacks were leveled against Ronald Reagan in the 1970s. Who can forget the name calling - Ronnie Raygun, The Amiable Dunce, and "B" Actor.
Governor Palin stands for everything liberals detest. She is a female who achieved success on her own not by riding on her husband's coattails ala Hillary Clinton. She truly believes in small government, market economies, and individual freedom and responsibility, and more importantly governs her state accordingly. In essence she walks the walk and not simply talks the talk like other Republican elected officials. This frightens liberals and Democrats to no end since they are used to Republican cowardice and capitulation. They also can't understand this Second Amendment thing. The Constitution be damned is the liberal creed nowadays.
Most of all the Governor is pro life, and has a wonderful marriage and family life. She committed the ultimate sin in liberal eyes by actually giving birth to a Downs Syndrome baby instead of aborting the child as any good Manhattan or Beltway feminist would. Further, her movie star quality looks inherently leads to jealousy among a good portion of women of all political stripes.
The RNC should take note as our liberal friends are speaking loud and clear. If they can't take Sarah out before 2012 they know they are in trouble. If this smear campaign fails and Governor Palin emerges as a Presidential candidate, they will go to Plan B which is to enter into open Republican primaries and vote for the most liberal Republican in a repeat of 2008. Are you paying attention Chairman Steele? It's time to close all primaries now to avoid a repeat of this sabotage.
Make no mistake about it, this smear campaign is calculated and the trail leads straight to the White House. Liberals know a threat when they see one. The question now is whether Republican officials are astute enough to read the tea leaves. At this point, I certainly have my doubts.
Just when we need some liberal fear too!
Sarah Palin is the "antifascist"!
Everything you said X 10! Palin is an exceptional leader with Morals and integrity. I can see why liberals are afraid....
now if she was a lesbian who aborted her baby and was not working and collecting welfare they would love her but then....that would make her a Democrat.
And lets not forget that she believes in Jesus and the true living God of the Bible. That kind of thing makes the heads of lefties explode! Someone please post a picture from Mars Attacks so we can all see how it looks.
the evil hate the good.
It isn’t just fear of Sarah that drives the hate from the left, it’s jealousy too. She is everything they are not. I read a post over at the DUmp where a woman said that she hated Sarah more than she hated the cheerleaders in high school.
Is that a line from a movie?
The dead hate the living.
From “i see dead people”, right?
Unfortunately the RNC seems to fear Sarah almost as much as the left. After all, she didn't go to an Ivy League school, isn't a lawyer, hasn't lived in Washington, and she actually believes that limited federal government, follow the Constitution crap. She just doesn't get how things are supposed to work.
Palinphobia.
One thing I hope Republicans learn to do its whenever they go on an interview, make sure to research a few things about the interviewer. If the interviewer start getting combative, embarrass the interviewer on air
Never accept the interviewer premise. A common thing reporters do is quote someone and get you to respond. Never accept the quote as accurate
I wish I could agree, but they don’t fear her. The simply hate her for her normalcy. She’s the embodiment of white bread America in their little pea brains. She’s a vestige of what they are trying to stamp out: non freakishness. They would relish a match up between her and Barry. While I’d like to think she’d give him a run for his money, the country is to far gone culturally, unless things are worse in ‘12 then anybody can now imagine.
The more they trash Palin, the more I’m convinced she’s the right canidate for 2012. Palin could be the Anti-bama
Well done article. If the Left and our backstabbing RINOs can’t put her away in the next couple months, she will be so tempered by fire that she will run the table.
Back in December I was taking off my McCain/Palin sticker. Just as I started peeling off the top corner I stopped...got out the x-acto and slice the sticker in two. Now I have a Palin sticker and I’m not taking it off. I live in a very Rat town in NJ and enjoy pissing off the libs everyday I drive Clifford, my big red truck. The truck is sad. It’s a Silverado and my last Chevy. No reason to buy GM anymore. I’m a Ford man now.
