I’m just becoming truly aware, again, of the malignancy of the liberal media’s and left’s contempt for others that preys just underneath the veneer of their attitudes of elitist intellectual superiority.

As the result of Sarah Palin's introduction into the national arena, I have been “energized” to take an active interest in politics once more. I just haven’t seen anyone of Palin's calliber, since Ronald Reagan, who had an ability to capture the interest and involvement of mainstream Americans like me. Whether it was really "true" or not, it just seemed that the Republican party was pandering to us. It just seemed that the Republican party really was more representative of the privileged and wealthy perhaps. I had tuned out and dropped out and entered general “apathy” in involvement - though I’ve always voted.

Personally, I thought Ronald Reagan was “real”. I believe he had a warmth of sincerity and authenticity. I believe I see the return of sincerity and authenticity in Sarah Palin. Since Sarah Palin has emerged as a national Republican leader in her nomination to the office of Vice President, I no longer really feel like such an “independent”. I'm no longer really waiting for the creation of a strong 3rd party. I am not identifying just with Sarah Palin, but with the Republican Party she represents.

 

This change can rightly be attributed both to her and to John McCain. Sarah Palin and her nomination to Vice President have immediately altered the “brand” of the Republican party in my view. I believe the Republican party, for the first time in a long time, now truly represents middle and working class Americans. To me, there has already been a “Palin Revolution” very similar to the “Reagan Revolution”. Sarah Palin embodies, to me, the power of the Party to grasp the hearts and minds, therefore the votes, of mainstream America.

It’s no wonder the elitists are going… insane. Their behaviors seem to reveal the desperate depravity they are feeling in the face of "Palin Power". They are experiencing a dawning realization of their resultant loss of power. Sarah Palin threatens to dash the left's hopes for holding the power base of moderate middle class and working Americans' identification with the Democratic party. Democrats, the left, face loss of voting blocks of white female voters, middle class, and working class Americans. Moderate female voters, as well as all moderate middle and working class Americans, have given the left power to move the nation to the left. The Democrat's power to “hold a base” securely in middle class and working Americans in order to advance a leftist elitist liberal agenda is being eroded. Everything has changed.

My immediate “baptism” into a return to active interest was being shocked and appalled, then outraged, by the venom of liberal senseless attacks against Governor Sarah Palin in her nomination and campaign for the office of Vice President.

The left, and the liberal media, may not yet realize how much their attacks and assaults of Republicans (especially of Governor Sarah Palin) now take on new meaning. Many middle class and working Americans no longer see attacks on Republicans, John McCain, and especially Sarah Palin as attacks upon the wealthy elite. We have identified with Sarah Palin. We are beginning to identify with John McCain. We are beginning to identify with the Republican Party. We increasingly see the media's and the left's contempt as being directed towards ourselves as middle class and working Americans. Many of us are beginning to increasingly identify with the Republican Party through the already successful “change agent”: Governor Sarah Palin.

I am personally TICKED!! at the liberal media. Their attacks against John McCain, Republicans, and especially Sarah Palin are now attacks on “us”. Honestly, I don't think it would have been possible for Cindy McCain to solely represent herself from her position of wealth to get me to "identify" with her. However, with Sarah Palin on the ticket, there is a definite "crossover effect". I now identify with disrespect towards Cindy McCain - somehow - as disrespect towards all Americans of middle and working classes. Sarah Palin as Vice President represents and is on the same team as Cindy McCain as first lady. Cindy McCain, who is quite wealthy, now seems like "one of us".

If I and people I know are at all indicative of what is really happening in mainstream America in identification with the Republican party and the McCains as the result of "Palin Power"... the power base of the left of the Democratic Party is imploding in increasing degree.


The baseless, desperate, and obscenely hateful attacks of the Democratic far left and the liberal media is rope. I think giving them enough rope, due to the introduction of Governor Sarah Palin into Republican leadership and influence, will result in them hanging themselves before the American people.

I believe many, many Americans are TICKED!! at the liberal media for the sake of Sarah Palin. When that "chicken comes home to roost", the Democratic party may lose even more votes as time progresses than the "Reagan Democrats" they may fear losing. Due to the move of the Democratic Party to the extreme left - should the Republican Party truly change some of it's focus to actively represent middle class and working Americans - the Republican Party is poised for an incredible present and increasing opportunity to turn "Reagan Democrats" and independents into "Palin Republicans".

That, to me, is the poetic justice of giving the left enough rope to hang themselves... as they seek to form a lynch mob to punish and "string up" Governor Sarah Palin for presuming, without their approval, to be the Republican nominee for Vice President.
