Why Palin?

I have been asked why I am interested in Sarah Palin? Basically, because the left is trying to destroy her.

When McCain choose her to be V.P. my first thoughts were: McCain knows he going to lose to Obama and this was a gesture to woman. But after doing some research I thought she was better candidate than Obama. But I am a conservation on defense and finance.

The country was in a mood to get rid of Bush and Republicans. Obama ran a good primary was almost assured a victory. But McCain pick of Palin put him ahead briefly. Instead of just allowing the post convention bump to subside, the "liberal" left and media went out to try to destroy her.

After McCain mishandled the financial "crisis," he sunk in the polls and Obama won as expected.

So Palin should have retreated to obscurity, finish out a term or two in Alaska and then return to national prominence. But the left saw something they couldn't handle. A woman who walked the conservative walk. An intelligent, pretty woman who didn't have an abortion, who fought against corruption and believed in conservative values. They had to continue the verbal assaults in the national media and attacking her with ethics lawsuits. Thus making her a martyr to the conservative cause.

What impresses me most is her positive attitude. She doesn't go out to seek to destroy her adversaries, but turns lemons into lemonade by becoming a best-seller author.

I don't know if she wants to be President, but I know she will continue to be a thorn in the side to the liberal left and east-west coast elitists.

Actually she's a God send to the liberal left we couldn't have asked for a better spokeswomen for the Republican party, even the corporate lobbies have left the right for the Democratic Party...so thank you God for Sara Palin... but that's not why I replied just wanted to wish you Happy Birthday Common Sense Joe!

Thanks.

Actually, I don't know how well she would do. But she is much less a Republican spokesman than a Conservative role model, a woman who walks the walk.

If she fails at Fox, she will disappear back to Alaska. If she does well, she will bring crowds (and cash) to conservative candidates.
