Well, change comes in many forms and some of them unexpected. Change can do many things - sometimes for worse and sometimes for the better. Regardless of which, one thing that often happens when change comes to the fore is that activities, thoughts, and underlying philosophies get challenged - and so, the status quo may change...
And then I was going to go on to talk about other things concerning how much of a game changer McCain threw at both the Dems and the Liberal press. Especially in the area of "experience" which certainly should be upfront.
The problem with my former plan is the absolute hypocrisy that has been exhibited by Dems, Liberal advocacy groups, the Left-wing blogs, and especially the utter disdain that the Press has shown for not just Sarah Palin herself but her family as well.
Look, my feeling is that the candidate themselves are fair targets. She has a record and a resume to stand on - mayor, governor, runner, hunter b-ball player on a State championship team, commercial fisher, hunter, broadcaster, snowmobiler - the list keeps going on. She is a doer and not a talker.
But fair game. And it is ludicrous to believe that this lady has any LESS experience as the bottom ticket candidate than the top of the Dem ticket. And yet, the Dems believe they have a winner in comparing her to Obama (gee, he said sarcastically, where has talk of Biden gone?)?
But she is fair game. Her husband, unlike Obama's spouse (and Cindy McCain too), has not spoken on the stump circuit. He should be off limits. Her children likewise. After all, the press left Obama's kids off limits, right? And up to now, so have McCain's and Biden's kids.
But with Palin, the Press and Lefty blogs are out to destroy this successful woman who has done it all. They wish to discredit her right off the bat - they are either so scared to death of her that they wish to snuff her run out or so condescending that they feel that being a honest-to-goodness-person (as opposed to an elitist), she shouldn't matter.
And how to do that? Well, the game plan is not to just attack her or her stances, but to kill off her family members by innuendo. Like when US magazine (owned by a large Obama backer) tells only half the story about the Palin "controversies" (Fox News just drawed and quartered Wenner - and he had no comeback for his magazine).
The Liberal feminists have all but turned themselves inside out by proclaiming by using her newest son as a focus of their attacks because he has Down's syndrome (how can she run with 5 children at home, one with a disability). Yeah, these self same proclaimers that women should have it all are all but drooling in their madness to discredit an over-achiever who earned it all but fails their one litmus test - she talks AND walks the "live is sacred" pro-life stance; they hate it that her choice was not their choice.
The Press, too, has attacked by raising one objection to another by phrasing them as "serious questions to be discussed" but in such a way that if you if it was me doing the questions and my target was a Dem, I think they'd of flayed me alive and then rub salt in both me and my separated skin.
These are the self-same folks that have so often decried the "right wing attack machine". Right.
So I ask the Press and others - have the Palins gotten the same consideration from you that you demanded for the John Edwards family in not reporting his affair? Are you spending as little time as possible to the next story "out of respect to the family in their time of trouble?".
No, you have not.
Know why they doing this? Because they think they will win. They think that, being elitists and Liberals all (and politeness is only for the little flyover people) they will get you to dismiss her from consideration. Or beat her down so that she will quit out of shame, guilt, or both.
Doug knows that I very, very, very seldom use strong language. At all - either here or verbally. I'm thinking of her nickname "Sarah Barracuda". Given to her by her basketball teammates for her hyper-competitive attitude - the classic over-achiever. The kind that when confronted with a roadblock doesn't go around it, doesn't go under it, or over it - they bulldog it and then blow it up.
That said, I know something. Something that the elitists don't. And can't because you don't "get it" and never will. You know what that is?
