I was wrong about sarah palin being the 'genuine article'. I defended her to the hilt back in the day .I still believe she is not stupid ,I don't believe anyone from a lower middle class background can reach the heights she did without having above average intelligence, sound political acumen and charisma .If you are involved in politics even at a local level as Iam you will understand that.Politics these days is the most dirty, must cut throat ,most corrupt game on the planet. People who get to the top of the shyt pile or near the top, have not only done other people down and ruined them but are not fools.
I also still believe she prevented John mcain from losing bigger to Obama than he did,The polls before the 2008 crash suggest Iam right about that. I think those in the campaign who later blamed her were simply looking after their own careers and guess what they ended up working for mitt romney and we saw how that turned out for him...
What I was wrong about though, was I was convinced she genuinely wanted to go to washington become president and change things for the better, deal with 'crony capitalism', bring power back to the people , make politicians the servants of the people not the other way round.I thought she had high minded ideals, because as governor of alaska she was prepared to turn on her own party risking her own career and creating life long enemies in that state , and get several of them locked up for corruption,that she resigned as lieutenant governor before that in protest when her own party refused to deal with the corruption and then came back as governor to clean shyt up. . She was the democrats darling back then, before she ran against the then senator obama of course! What happened to her ?
I do believe she was targetted by the media ,more so than other politicians, but I simply think these days it was because she represented different corporate interests to the ones they wanted to control america .I also think,her talk about god, guns, abortion, many liberal minded people who work in the media personally disliked her. I also think because of her looks she attracted quite a bit of jealousy from female political commentators and talking heads. I was taken in by her speeches , and her tight ass and sexy teacher look,her folksy way of talking, her mavericky persona . I still think she is the most fukkable politician on the planet though.
No what she is really about is two things, dollars, grifting from those who donate to her 'PAC' making her and her family rich and powerful . and cheerleading for oil companies and other corporate interests. .She is no different to the rest of the shower of shyt we have laading western countries. And I count President Obama in that shower of shyt. He has been a total disappointment as well. Maybe the only thing he and sarah palin have in common.
