savoy, I think you have hit on it - I don't think Sarah Palin IS a politician. Yes, she holds/held elected office. But she started out just like one of us - sick and tired of the way things were being handled, and she decided to do something about it. She GETS IT. That is why the MSM and the pinkos are petrified of her, and are using every means at their disposal to discredit and ruin her, because she fucking GETS IT. And that scares the HELL out of them - a normal, everyday person, without a lot of old family money, people with kids, a life, a special needs child, family crisis, worrying about debt - she is ONE OF US who has climbed to national prominence. That is why I like her. She is real. I can't say that I wouldn't say stupid shit either if I got asked a question by some pea brain talking head who was deliberately looking to fuck me over. To me, that makes her more human. If the libs don't lay off her, it might just backfire on them BIG TIME. It makes me angrier than I have EVER been to see them get in the way of her and her family life. And it is not because she is a woman - it is because she is NORMAL. And those media fuckers can't handle the thought of a NORMAL American being in a positon of power and influence.
