Sarah Palin is enormously popular with main street Americans. Sarah Palin is one of few politicians who have fearlessly taken on the establishment, both Democrat and Republican, with a consistent message about the enforcement of the constitution and the returning of government to the people. Sarah Palin is closer to our frontier heritage than most of us, and it shows. Gorgeous, gracious, gifted Gov. Sarah Palin is powerful, popular, and prestigious. Having crawled from the wreckage of the 2008 presidential campaign and her much-derided resignation as governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin had emerged as arguably the most captivating and influential Republican in America — and therefore a viable contender for the presidential nomination in 2012.
Several years ago, before the hatchet-press began their slimy slander, Sarah Palin had a popularity rating of well over 80% here in Alaska because she was an effective leader who fairly beat incumbent Gov. Frank Murkowski (Lisa’s dad) in the election for Governor. Sarah Palin has once again won Free Republic’s 2012 Presidential Straw Poll.
Any learned person with any sort of access to any form of media knows that Sarah Palin is making an impact. Whenever I see anything in the news (often) or the opinion pages (often) about Sarah Palin, it just reinforces to me that she must be a force to be reckoned with. If there’s one thing we learned from the awful shooting in Tucson on Saturday, in case we didn’t know already, Sarah Palin makes some liberals completely lose their minds. It was about 10 minutes after the shooting was announced that Markos Moulitsas of the liberal website Daily Kos, last seen advancing political discourse by writing a book comparing conservatives to terrorists, linked to a map on the Sarah Palin website which featured crosshairs “targeting” Gabrielle Giffords’ district in the last election.
The left is starting to realize Sarah Palin could be a strong and viable contender for the presidency. The left continues the blood libel against Sarah Palin, still desperately trying to make their zombie followers think Arizona was all Sarah’s fault, as well as the fault of members of the Tea Party. So I suppose I should confess: I like Sarah Palin. I like her because she is such a problem for all these political men, Republicans and Democrats alike, with their polls, and their Walter Dean Burnham theories of transformative elections, and their economy this and their values that–and here comes Palin, and logic just doesn’t apply.
I would imagine that Sarah Palin may be feeling a little battle-weary these days. As a Sarah Palin supporter, I know that I have my own battle-weary moments and for me, these moments have occurred as a result of my utter disbelief at the contempt and hate spewed at Sarah Palin. I have watched people from all walks of life; celebrities, Democrats, Republicans, self-described Conservatives, reporters who should remain neutral and your everyday average person, vilify this woman and her family with reckless finger-pointing accusations with little or no basis in fact. Apparently the 5 Ws of reporting that I learned in a high school journalism class (thank you Mrs. King), w ho, w hat, w hen, w here, and w hy, no longer apply even to the largest media outlets that many Americans have come to rely upon and trust. So no matter what you think of Sarah Palin, she is living the American dream.
