The Left Are Running Scared
n any ordinary US Presidential cycle, the Vice Presidential pick on a losing ticket would have long since sunk into obscurity a year since an election. However the last election was not ordinary, and neither was the Republican choice for VP.
Sarah Palin energised the battered Republican Party, established some solid conservative credentials and put down a firm marker for a future bid for the top job. Indeed, even three years out from the ejection from office of One-Term Barry and in a crowded Republican field of contenders, she is already in comfortably positive polling territory (59% to 21%) of GOP voters knowing that she shares their values. As yesterday’s men Huckabee and Romney fade, and if she choses to, she’ll be an early frontrunner for the GOP slot in 2012. She’s smart, articulate and dynamic.
All of which is why the Left…on both sides of the Pond…fear her above all other candidates. Witness the front cover of tomorrows edition of the vanity-publishing rag that is the New Statesman. If the Left is at daggers drawn so early and so nastily then she’s got to be doing something right.
Imagine the outcry if a magazine which is circulated (although largely unread in the case of The Staggers) nationwide did a similar hatchet-job on Michelle Obama or Nancy Pelosi? There would be outrage, wailing and gnashing of socialist teeth. Remember, children: pictures of Barack Hussein Obama as a monkey or death threats BAD, pictures of George Walker Bush as a monkey or death threats FINE. In fact, the media even tried to spin threats against Obama as somehow being Palin’s fault.
If she thinks it’s bad right now, there’ll be getting a lot more misogynistic hostility to come before 2012.
Oh if only in 3 years time there was a President Palin. It wont be long before the BBC recommences the attacks on her
Goodness, the hate the left has for Sarah Palin is sad to see…
I like her and wish her well but there is a lot of hate for her and I do not know why.
Ah yes – the most hated, evil woman on the planet. What an anti-abortion, small government, pro-gun satan! And she’s a woman! Traitor.
What can I say but hell hath no fury like a lefty threatened.
They still put in the occasional dig at the moment, but come the Primaries they’ll pick a RINO favourite and then it’ll be all guns blazing. Let’s see if they’ve fallen out of love with The One by then.
The Left see a successful woman on the right of politics as a ‘traitor’ and ‘sellout’. Whether it is by mock-contempt, spoofing, caricature or outright lies they will try to bring her down.
Because they see her as a threat which needs to be neutralised, I think. If she wasn’t, she could be safely ignored. A politician isn’t just defined by what they say, but also by how many people listen.
If you lot don’t want her pretty quickly, can we have her in the UK please?
Of course – but I think she might be staying…
