I Support Sarah Palin

To those who believe Sarah Palin lacks substance or knowledge of vital issues, nothing could be further from the truth. She has plenty of knowledge on significant issues, especially when it comes to energy. With regard to foreign policy, she would support America’s allies and not appease our enemies. She has moral clarity, something those foreign policy “experts” with ivy league degrees are sorely lacking in. These supposedly brilliant people have made a mess of things, have strengthened the world’s tyrants and islamic terrorists and endangered the free world with their pathetic failed appeasement policies and yet they continue dispensing the same failed policy advice which has brought the crazed Iranian mullahs to the brink of obtaining nuclear weapons and brought the jihad to our own shores.

And the best thing about Sarah is that she stands on principle and doesn't seek the approval of the media and other liberal elites. That's another reason why they hate her.

Palin was elected Governor against all odds


Conservatives4Palin has an excellent take down of an article by Quin Hillyer in the American Spectator in which Hillyer attacks Palin. I was particularly impressed with the following rebuttal. I hadn’t realized how formidable her victory for Governor was.

Our fourth problem with Quin’s problem is that he minimizes her political accomplishments. He characterizes Palin’s victory over Frank Murkowski as “not too hard.” Oh really? What Quin fails to tell his readers is that Palin is one of three people to have defeated an incumbent Governor or Senator in a primary and to have won the subsequent general election in the last twelve years. She did it in an election year when Republicans across the country suffered record losses. She did it with the Republican Party establishment opposing her candidacy and openly threatening her on the phone should she dare cross them. She did it without the political consultants upon which too many in our party foolishly rely. The liberal Anchorage Daily News wrote the following about her campaign:

Still, no national consultants have been brought in to hone Palin’s message or protect her frontrunner status with carefully scripted appearances.

“It’s the most remarkable campaign I’ve ever seen,” said Babcock. “She’s just running as Sarah Palin and talking about what comes up.”

What seems to drive the Beltway, as well bloggers like Quin, crazy is the fact that she neither seeks nor needs their assistance. The bloggers over at Hillbuzz met Governor Palin over the weekend in Peoria and she expressed her thoughts about the political chattering class to which Quin belongs quite succinctly: “Oh, I got their number.”
