“Who, by the way, do you think has been raising all those male candidates for all these years? Conservative men and conservative voters weren’t raised by savages. Mom might have something to do with how they turned out.”Attacks by the left are easily shunned: they hold no water. But now, witness Conservatives (regrettably) ignoring – yet again – the eleventh. And, yes, this sentiment on my part is directed not only to those individuals listed in a recent POLITICO article, but likewise to those laypersons seemingly on board with these crucifiers of their own. George Will lambasts Palin, stating “the contrast between he (William F. Buckley) and Ms. Palin is obvious”, while overlooking the most glaring irony in his positing of such rhetoric (Will literally uses the word “disease” when defining Palin’s persona). Conservatives in the vein of William F. Buckley (Reagan, Goldwater – again, using Will’s own words) would never resort to such callous language. Will, through rhetoric not becoming of the very Conservative idols he positions so as to tear down Sarah Palin, has rendered void his entire argument. In other words, it’s not Palin’s conservatism Will is attacking (if truth be told), it is her womanhood. As for attacks from those who have enjoyed the limelight under the Bush administration, these feeble arrows are as transparent as Obama’s Marxism. Palin/Bush 101: she fought the pipeline and won. End of story. From Rove to the maid, everyone from the former Bush administration loathes Palin; and she’s a better politician because of it. Finally, for the naysayers attacking Palin based on the formidably worn out rhetoric that “she’s not electable”, or “she’s a dummy”, or “she has no policy or platform”, in addition to the preceding, it is recommended that one engage in at least SOME preliminary research on their own. Palin’s policies have been clearly laid out for the world to see, in print and also easily accessed publicly through her social media pages. Why should one be concerned with vetting potential politicians? Oh, I dunno; perhaps because the last time America didn’t vet the campaign contestants she wound up with a Marxist Muslim in the White House instead of the Moderate Democrat the media was selling?! Just my two cents.
