They hate her because she energizes the base. She isn’t even my ideal candidate but she is exciting and more important, she’s bringing conservatives out of the woodwork.
Actually they hate her because they know, deep in their twisted evil hearts and minds, that Sarah Palin, so far, is still one of "us", we the people, whom they disdain. She is a "real American" and the educated elite strive to hold onto the myth that only "they" can lead us unwashed masses yearning to be free to the promised land.
They have long forgotten that "we the people" are supposed to be the ones that hold the power over our own destinies - our "prosperity" if you like.
They have been all consumed with the "party politic" ideal that George Washington so stringently warned us against adopting.
"They", the educated elite, fear us ordinary Americans. They fear the day that we might wake up and use our God given rights and return this once great Republic to what our founding fathers actually visualized.
I am not sure that is actually possible any longer for "we" have let them lead us by the nose for so long now that one, or at least this one is beginning to believe "we" don't have the will to rise up and flush their worthless hides right down the toilet.
But obviously "they" still fear us! Perhaps they days of Constitutional Conservatism isn't totally dead as "they" certainly do fear her, and us ............... so far.
Sarah Palin seems to be that kind of Reagan-like person as well. It appears to me that she really believes in the things she says. I think the phonies don't like her for the same reason that they did not like Reagan.
The inside-the-beltway mentality people are like a pack of wolves. They recognize the smell of their own pack. Sarah is not from their pack so they turn on her. Real people are the ultimate threat to the opportunistic phonies that rule this country. When a real person comes on the scene both the Democrat and Republican phonies join forces in driving out the truthful person. The Dems and Repubs may be enemies and rivals but they know that honest people are the ultimate threat to their system of duplicity and exploitation.
