The Sarah Palin Problem!

According to Newsweek we have a "Sarah" problem...and she is really bad for the GOP and us! But this is the same rag that triumphantly declared "We are all Socialists Now" a couple months ago. But its not just NEWSWEEK and their ridiculously sexist picture...not that there are any good looking female Democrats to EVER serve on the national stage that could be photographed in that light. As one contributor to this site, "Dr. O'Shaunessey" we will reference him as, from the Left Coast put it (referencing the Newsweek cover): "At least she can actually fit into that outfit! Hillary would scare children and adults alike if seen in bike shorts". So look I'm not complaining about the picture..she is hot...but if you’re a "politically/news/professionally" oriented magazine why show her in that light? Why does the media and left wing pundits treat her with nothing but pure hatred and disgust like some dopey bimbo? I had lunch with another contributor to this site yesterday, we will reference him as "Boss Hogg", he mentioned to me that he would ask people in his office who disliked Sarah, why? He found they really didn't have an answer. So what is going on? What's the deal? Lets look and see what we find.

So what is the Sarah Palin problem?
Is it the fact that she was...well...a crash the scene politician who has taken up the reigns of the conservative wing of the republican party, rallied a massive silent conservative core group and numerous independents alike with plain straightforward speak, a squeaky clean background and no ties to special interests, not to mention her tough stance on the Alaskan "establishment", rightfully taking down republicans and democrats alike? Couple all that with a meteoric rise into the national spotlight (and I never thought I would say this..but thanks to John McCain!) and what do you get from her opponents..not just left wing lunatics but the DC Beltway "establishment" as a whole?

FEAR

FEAR is the only answer.
FEAR of her ability to draw & connect with massive crowds.
FEAR of her ability to talk and answer questions in a simple understandable way without a focus group.
FEAR of her good looks and hometown charm.
FEAR of her conservative grass roots & wholesome American values.
FEAR of the fact that she IS experienced! (Governor & Mayor beats community organizer & 1 term senator any day)
FEAR that she is not an "Insider" or DC Elite from an Ivy League school or political family.
FEAR that she is the "one" to cleanse DC of "Business as Usual" politics & stop the gravy train.

Is their another explanation? I challenge anyone to deny this. Why hasn't one single women's lib or women's rights group come out and defended her, her daughter or her handicapped child in any way for the attacks that have been launched against them? Has there EVER been such a vicious attack on any one in American history? Nixon probably? She has been accused of affairs to nepotism, and its all been false I don't think Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will get the treatment Sarah got.

Could it just be the media is using her to sell papers/magazines? Also a good argument...that might explain why so many left wing "sheep" say they hate her but don't really know why...mags like newsweek give us big bad headlines but as usual there is nothing in the article...kinda shows the depth of our lefty friends knowledge base when it comes to facts. Seems they love reading the headline and taking that as truth...why bother reading the article? Or looking for opposing views?

So what happens with her? Personally I think she's pretty hot and much smarter than most people make her out to be, does she need some polishing? Who doesn't? She just needs to use a teleprompter more often, then she will look like a PRESIDENT, and good for her for making a ton of $$$, now she should be about $13 or $14 million dollars short of the poorest Dem in congress. What do I think of her? She really really really turned me off when she resigned as Governor, in my view an AWFUL move that lost votes within her base...including mine. Was it justified? In my opinion no, she showed weakness and let the left celebrate bringing her down. But with that said, she has been on the offensive ever since, killing everyone from Couric to Oprah to McCain, and taking shots at the Big O on a daily basis. It might just work out for the conservative movement and in 4/5/6 years I might just change my mind.
