POLITICS: Sarah Palin's Supporters Scare Me!











Sarah Palin wrote a book and went to Grand Rapids, Michigan for a book signing. Thousands of people showed up, many standing in line to get her signature and tell her how much they loved her and would vote for her when she ran for president – NOW THAT IS REAL SCARY!

She picked cities like Grand Rapids, Michigan for a reason. They are filled with right wing; religious fundamentalists who see her as one of them and believe when she becomes president, the nation will once again be under the control of ultra conservative, Christian fundamentalist wackos.

Palin’s book has been panned as a fiction masquerading as a factual account of her life and political campaign with John McCain. She obviously is trying to position herself correctly for the 2012 presidential elections in the eyes of her supporters and people that are thinking of supporting her.

I have no problem with people liking Palin; she is cute, energetic and outspoken but to take her seriously as a potential president of the United States is patently absurd but what does it say about those people that support her efforts.

Well, those people will only believe things about Sarah Palin that they want to be true; facts do not matter here. These people are not objective and will just shutout any criticism of Palin as a campaign by the left to smear her reputation. But it is not only the left that is being criticized, these Palin supporters also are not happy with the current Republicans who they view as way too liberal and also jealous of Palin’s popularity.

The Republicans have a tough road ahead of them as evidenced by recent Congressional races in upper New York State where a moderate Republican was told to step down in favor of a conservative wacko type Republican who Palin supported. The wacko lost to a Democrat but the split in Republican ranks was palpable and a sign of trouble ahead.

I realize the nation is divided but the extent of the division and the type of division is quite concerning but maybe the media (FOX) is just making it up as they do all their news – don’t laugh – it is a proven fact that they have apologized for many times – just tune into the Daly Show with John Stewart on the Comedy Channel; he actually catches them at making up the news all the time.
