I will never forgive the GOP for standing by and letting the MSM and demo demons eviscerate this woman publicly.
I still cannot get over it, they wouldn’t lift a finger.
I know what you mean. That’s probably one of the main reasons I’m not even watching the GOP convention this year. First one I’ve not tuned in to since 1976. And a lot of it has to my disgust over the way the GOP treated Palin. They just stood by and smirked while she and her family were being financially bankrupted by Dem operatives, when her church was torched, when the media tried to put blame on her for the mass-murder in Arizona, when Letterman was making rape jokes about her 13-year-old daughter, and on and on. And this was all concurrent when she was one of the incredibly few voices taking on Obama, from the stimulus to Obamacare (and enduring a media hellstorm for it).
It just made me lose all respect, confidence and trust in the Republican Party, seeing them so embarrassingly cowed by the media, and entirely content to throw Palin to the wolves. I’d voted exclusively GOP for decades, ever since I first reached voting age, but I really no longer feel any remote connection or kinship to it anymore. It’s a weird feeling, after all these years. But it is what it is.
Forget standing by and letting it happen, plenty of them were more than happy to join in the party and stick knives in her back.
It wasn’t the GOP. It was several prior leaders of the GOP.You are part of the GOP and you didn’t like what happened, so it wasn’t ALL of us.
