By way of reminder, a defense of Sarah Palin - a defense without an answer from the Democrats

Palin being sworn in as Mayor of Wasilla.

Midknight Review - new and revised, is an "editorial" blog featuring original opinion from me. While I allow for comments, I do not encourage dialogue between opposing pundits. In fact, I delete conversations between pundits. I often find them boring and below this old carpenter's expectations.

While I am big fan of Sarah Palin and disappointed that she will not be running for president, I have no intentions of watching the Left pretend that they have "defeated" this woman. And with that, you have the motivation for this particular post.

When you are in the business of managing a political blog such as this, you spend 8 to 10 hours a day doing nothing but reading from as many sources as possible. I continue to be mystified as the degree of hate that is expressed toward Sarah Palin. Such hatred is normally reserved for baby killers, child molesters, and Nazi world leaders. Seriously.

I have concluded that this "opposition" is as unwarranted as it is because it is driven by those who parrot the party line without giving any thought as to the reasons for their opposition. How intelligent is this scenario: someone says, "I want to change the way things are done," and the brain dead opposition immediate responds with, "We HATE - EVERYTHING - ABOUT - YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!" There is no moral equivalency between the two positions.

I want to finish this post, a defense of Palin by way of reminder, with these thoughts:

First, Obama had never so much as managed a donut shop and he still has no clue. That is obvious.

That was not the case with Sarah Palin. But no one wanted to give her a moment's worth of credit for her executive experience. She came to us as a mayor and a governor.

"But she governed a small, small, city." Ok, so think of Wasilla as a 9,000 plus corporate entity and Palin as its CEO. If that had been the case, in reality (and I am saying, it is) , that would be an impressive qualification.

Incredibly, "they" did not want to give her any credit for [even] being Governor of Alaska. How could they? Their man was as inexperienced as any presidential candidate in modern times.

Old news?

Yes, of course. But it keeps coming up, when Dems have nothing else to say about Palin. Again, returning to the corporate theme and for the sake of context only, think of Alaska as a corporation. In fact, if you do not consider the other states as such, because they are "so much larger than Alaska," then this northern state would figure as one of the largest corporations in the world . . . . . . and she was the Executive Manager and C.E.O, a very popular one, at that. The Dems - after three years - still has no one with the experience of Palin in Barack Obama (talk about a slow learner !!

"But she quit."

So we do not give her credit for the two and half years she served? We forget that she did not quit so much as she was forced to quit? Let's not forget the Dem's plan to force the Palin's into a bankruptcy, a financial collapse, that could have left them without a home, a business, or their property. 18 idiot law suits were already on the court's dockets. A $500,000 legal bill was already levied with two million dollars more in legal costs on the horizon. Don't tell me she is a "quitter." The Democrat opposition was disgraceful and unrelenting. Their goal - FOR NO GOOD REASON - was (and is?) to completely destroy this women and her family. That is the kind of low-life, bottom feeding, trash she has been dealing with since her nomination.

Point of post: to add context to some of Palin's qualifications and decisions as well as to illustrate the mindlessness of her opposition. Understand this: not a single Liberal reading this post can produce a reasoned logic for the hate expressed against Palin - and some of you think these people are qualified to participate in the political representation of this country. Geeeeesh.
