Knock it off. There’s no reason to keep up the insults. Many people will still admire her and whether you think so she’ll be a draw for people & a tireless campaigner. You don’t like her. Good for you but to be honest, I don’t think most people give a rip. For some reason you’re incredibly bitter, whether about life in general or Palin specifically but it would probably be better for your health & your blood pressure to just go on other threads. I’m sick to death of the contentiousness around here. You’ve said your peace saying it several more times isn’t going to make it anymore true but it is going to taint your relationship with people here. Supposedly you’re here because you have more shared opinions and values with other FReepers, even those on this list who still admire her, love her speeches and appreciate how much she’s done for conservatives. She was absolutely key in getting conservatives elected up and down the ballot in the midterms, campaigning tirelessly. She’s defended conservatives and the Tea Party when no one else would. She says what most of us wish we could say and that other conservatives don’t have the guts to say. But you don’t like her. I’ve read it more than once on this thread. What the heck do you get saying it several times?

The only reason that she is not running is because she knows that she cannot win. The left has been very successful in its campaign to discredit her. From the relentless Alaska election lawsuits to Tina Fey’s calculated character assasinations, the left has poisoned the public’s perception of her. The left has been especially successful at driving down her ratings with women.
I am baffled by the left’s success. Palin is an incredibly gifted speaker with heartfelt values. She is well versed on policy. She is the anti Hillary. Yet the public now has a very favorable opinion of HER despite years of incredibly polarizing scandals. SHE has been established as intelligent despite HER only talent for rain making based on Slick’s political offices. Palin in contrast is geniune and self made.
I remain baffled by the left’s success in depicting Palin as a stupid extremist. The left fears her but I do not understand why her favorability ratings are so low.
